Max Level Duo Achieves Unconventional WoW Victory: No War Within Required
Leveling Up the Old-Fashioned Way: A Father-Son Duo Reaches Level 80 in World of Warcraft
Who says you need to raid or quest to reach the highest level in World of Warcraft? A father-son duo has proven that exploration alone can get you to level 80, and they didn’t even need to touch the new expansion, The War Within.
A Leisurely Flight Through Azeroth
Competitive-Hall6922 and his son decided to take a break from the usual grind and go on a "world tour" in a two-seater rocket mount. They flew over old areas, earning XP for entering undiscovered zones. To speed up the process, they flipped on Chromie Time, a feature that allows older areas to scale up to a maximum of level 71.
The Art of Exploration
The duo explored Outland and Northrend, reaching level 70 and receiving a notification from Chromie to return to the present. But they ignored her and continued flying, earning more XP and experience points. They used this method to reach level 71, at which point they were kicked back to the present.
A Clever Workaround
To gain the remaining nine levels, they employed a clever use of game mechanics. They created a character on a free trial account and used Party Sync, a feature that allows players to temporarily drop to a lower level to group with friends. They stood in the same spot, re-enabling Chromie Time to earn XP and experience points.
A Fun, but Not Repeatable, Experience
Competitive-Hall6922 and his son successfully reached level 80, but they acknowledge that this method is not for everyone. They also admit that questing is a much smoother way to level up. They now have a character at level 80, but with no gear, quests, or items. They enjoyed the experience, but it’s not something they’d want to repeat.
The Power of Exploration
This father-son duo’s achievement is a testament to the power of exploration in World of Warcraft. With a little creativity and patience, players can still experience the game in new and exciting ways.
