Insane WoW World Record: Level 70 in 48 Minutes!!

Recommended Posts

Clipboard02.jpg
 

Well, Mists of Pandaria Remix is breaking all kinds of barriers in WoW. From being the first event of its kind in the game, to the many transmogs players are getting, crazy powerful characters, and now our fastest level 70 ever!

Well, sort of. Previously leveling went from 1 to max level, but in Remix players start at 10. But considering just how fast 1-10 goes it's pretty much negligible. But enough introing, how did this happen??

Shiekrunner managed to get to level 70 in 48 minutes and 30 seconds. Yep. That is a thing that happened. But it wasn't JUST the crazy leveling speeds of Remix that got the job done, however. There was a whole guild behind the Demon Hunter, some old-school prep including pet battles, and more! The entire run is recorded and ready to watch below, but let's go through just what was involved in getting this crazy speed done.

This certainly wasn't a 1-man operation, as Shiekrunner had a 9-player group from the Tatortreiniger guild behind him helping out, downing raid bosses and getting them ready for him to loot the XP. The group consisted of five ilvl 476-ish players, one 380, and, of course, a level 20 Monk pushing the dungeons! In said dungeons a Demon Hunter was running skips in Scarlet Halls and Temple of the Jade Serpent (which some may frown upon, as it's ye-olde creative use of game mechanics, aka jumping through and around walls) and the rest go on branching paths for optimal XP.

They did this running random Heroics for the bonus XP, avoiding grabbing the XP items and saving them for later. And boy, the later was quite something, as Shiekrunner gathered up 333% bonus XP and skyrocketed from level 47 to 61 in a couple of seconds.

And then, quite a few more dungeons later and some picking up the of the pre-cleared raid XP, the moment had arrived. Level 70!

In case you're wondering about the video length, a few of the raids were fast forwarded. And here's a more detailed breakdown of everything that went into the record, as Shiekrunner gave us a bit of an interview on the process:

We achieved this as a coordinated group consisting of 9 players. Here's a detailed breakdown of our strategy and team composition:

Dungeon Team:
Shiekrunner (me) - The leveling character
Nöxyi-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Cémix - Level 20 Monk
Lethestes-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 343
Permokremixx-Steamwheedle Cartel

Raid Team:
Leonie-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Vashalla-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Lunites-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Nöxyi-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 476
Gadriel-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 470
Lethestes-Blackmoore - Level 70, iLvl 380
Shiekrunner (me) - The leveling character

Dungeon Strategy
For Scarlet Halls and Temple of the Jade Serpent, our Demon Hunter, Nöxyi-Blackmoore, performed speedrun skips. This allowed our Monk and DH to take branching paths for simultaneous boss kills.

Permokremixx had to create a new character each time we entered a raid  to keep us all under level 20 and avoid the slow dungeon, Stormstout Brewery.

We also had an additional player for instant queues into the dungeon and miscellaneous tasks, such as protecting the leveling character and trading items like gems.
Permokremixx and Lethestes queued as tank and healer, respectively, so our DH and Monk didn’t need to change specs every time we joined a dungeon.

Because of our optimizations, we could still queue for random heroics but only got the following good dungeons:

Temple of the Jade Serpent
Scholomance
Scarlet Monastery
Scarlet Halls

We were hoping to get Temple of the Jade Serpent and Scarlet Halls as often as possible as they were the fastest with the skips.

Raid Strategy

The players not participating in the dungeon were already inside the raid, clearing up to the first boss. This stacked the XP bonus, allowing us to finish with a 333% XP boost. At level 25, we joined Mogu'shan Vaults; at level 35, we moved to Heart of Fear; and at level 40, we entered Terrace of Endless Spring.

One tactic we used was avoiding looting most of the XP bonus items from dungeons, opting to have them sent by mail instead. We made sure to loot the Threads of Experience for additional XP% whenever possible. We then opened these items when we had our full XP potential, allowing us to level up 15 levels in around 10 seconds with a 333% increased XP boost.

Our guild, Tatortreiniger on Blackmoore, with fully geared MoP Remix characters and high-level cloaks, played a crucial role by sitting inside raids and clearing the raids fast.

Preparation Prior to the Run
Preparation included completing specific account-wide pet battle dailies on a non timerunning character that can be turned in on another character at any time via the quest log or more efficiently by using this macro:

/run local info; for i=1, C_QuestLog.GetNumQuestLogEntries() do info = C_QuestLog.GetInfo(i) if info and info.isAutoComplete then ShowQuestComplete(info.questID) end end
(This will turn in any quest that you can turn in via your quest log.)


So giant congratulations on this incredible feat, and there's even hints of it being improved on! And in case this wasn't insane enough for you, as Shiekrunner himself says, there is a potential 5-10 minute improvement possible, since this was the group's first real run of this strategy.

Be sure to check out more from Shiekrunner and the guild:

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
