Pacifist Undead Priest/Gnome Rogue/NightElf Druid/Tauren Shaman

Outclassed

2011-09-27T19:02:00.000-07:00

I gotta admit, this beats playing WoW as a pacifist to hell and back...

Hmmm....

2011-09-17T15:56:00.000-07:00

Haven't done much, leveled up a regular worgen rogue to level 49, she has green whelp armor and two freezing bands, but it's not like BGs for twink 49s come up much…

Roguedubb pointed out that Death Knight goblin and worgen can be pacifists (though I'm not sure how he got through the phased DK start; could that also work for the goblin and worgen start areas?)

Since mining, herbing and archaeology make pacifist leveling too easy, the final, ultimate (really!) pacifist character should now be a character that never has those professions, which can be shown by looking at the armory statistics for professions.

Maybe later...

No Goblin or Worgen pacifists

2011-06-17T17:12:00.000-07:00

Not much to update, just that I've played a couple of new toons to try the new races, and both of the new starting areas pretty much force you to kill to get to the next quest to get out of the starting area.

For some reason, Blizzard didn't make the Worgen start area have anything in the "real world" (it's empty) -- the way that the Forsaken attack near the "end" of the Worgen sequence would have easily allowed it to be a new Horde quest zone, using phasing.

Caution: kills ahead...

2011-03-27T18:57:00.000-07:00

Well, it looks like more people are trying to level pacifists, now that it's quite a bit easier with herbalism and mining XP and Archaeology, so it might be a good time to recap all the obscure ways you can get credits for a kill...

First, of course, grouping with anyone who kills anything counts as a kill. Even getting a portal from a mage can give you a kill if he zaps something while you're grouped.

Second, the tagging rules (a mob "tagged" by you will count as your kill even if someone else kills it) are not always obvious, and they have changed in the past. I think now, any action that draws aggro (except for proximity aggro) can tag a mob, not just damage, so using any non-damage spell like fear or sleep can tag a mob as yours, so you can only use these safely when in an instance.

Third, some things count as kills that aren't obvious; removing NPCs trapped by webbing counts as killing the web, for example, and destroying a nest in the Throwing Down quest in Northrend also counts as a kill by itself. And if the Headless Horseman sets you on fire during the burning town event, if you kill a low-level player or critter because of the fire coming off you, it counts as YOUR kill. Oddly enough, the Absorbent quest in Azshara doesn't count as a kill if a water elemental is killed by your aura. Other quests where you destroy something might or might not count, so if you can, try it with another toon first.

Forth, with a lot of tiny critters running around, try to get into the habit of gathering items behind you; you can gather, but not attack this way, so it reduces the chance of an accident.

ARRRRRGH!

2011-03-25T23:55:00.000-07:00

Well, I hit level 75 and started doing Pa'Troll, and discovered (the hard way) that Throwing Down counts as a kill! At least, it seems to count the destruction of a pit to be a kill of an unknown... I thought Pa'Troll had a fixed set of quests, and since Mainchenn didn't get a kill credit, I just went with it, but checking my kills after the first one had me at 1.

If you haven't read the comments, Roguedubb also got a kill credit at level 69. I think I'll just retire...

Trundling along at 65

2011-01-29T13:17:00.001-08:00

Not much in the way of news... two more dailies, Spirits of Auchindoun since level 62, and now the Dalaran cooking daily. My gathering is way ahead though, I can mine and herb the lowest-level nodes in the level 85 zones.

Level 60

2011-01-15T13:27:00.000-08:00

I made level 60, and I've got the fossilized raptor:

Archaeology pet

2011-01-03T15:16:00.000-08:00

Got the little fossil dino pet:

Northrend

2010-12-26T23:37:00.000-08:00

Not for quests, but for fishing, cooking, and herbalism. With my +10 gloves, I can gather goldclover, and my fishing and cooking are high enough too. It will take a while for my mining to catch up.

Since Outland is more-or-less off limits to me until level 58 (I don't want to group with a mage to get a portal), I've managed to skip over it for now.

Another close-ish call

2010-12-25T23:05:00.000-08:00

I was doing Overlord Mok'Morokk's Concern, which involves picking up items near dragonkin, so as a pacifist that meant picking up items while getting whacked by dragonkin. However, dragonkin are large and tend to block such items... I did my usual technique of picking up items "behind" me, so I can grab items without accidentally hitting mobs, and that seemed to work (I got the usual "you are facing the wrong way" message when I clicked on a mob), but either I slipped up or combat mechanics are different, because when I turned around I started hitting a dragonkin. Luckily, nobody was around to "help" me by killing the mob (which would give me a kill credit) and I let the mobs kill me.

Again, mothballs

2010-12-08T20:13:00.000-08:00

Well, I put Reinisch into mothballs way back when he ran out of quests; I'm going to put Flos (mostly) into mothballs, probably only doing the cooking & fishing dailies until I get the expansion and can add Archaeology XP (and since I suggested it as an Xmas present, I'll have to wait about 2.5 weeks).

However, gathering XP uses rested XP, so I should catch up quickly in any case. Right now at level 26, I don't have a lot of quests I can do, and rested XP doubles my gathering XP until it runs out.

Cut the cards

2010-12-08T17:30:00.000-08:00

Inscription decks are left in the dust by gathering XP. The four Rogues decks I bought (fairly cheaply) were buggy until a recent fix, so I couldn't use them until they were gray. In any case, a Swords deck costing about 50G would only give me the XP of about three gathering nodes.

Again, phantom inflicted damage

2010-12-07T18:52:00.000-08:00

Somewhere along the line, my pacifist inflicted 349,960 damage, including one blow of 45,154! Still no kills, but blizzard's weird damage bookkeeping strikes again.

The new quests seem more varied, which means more Horde quests that don't involve killing. I've advanced so fast that some quests I can do are gray by the time I find them.

The Need for Speed

2010-12-06T16:36:00.001-08:00

Since a large chunk of my XP will come from gathering, I've been maximizing my move speed:
* Run speed enchant to boots
* Respec to Enhancement for instant-cast and faster Ghost Wolf form
* Mithril spurs -- ~~looking for~~ have enchant to riding gloves
* Mount (fast mount now at 40)
* Added Ghost Wolf glyph at level 25 for 5% more speed

I have also tested (on a very old Shaman alt) that the Earthbind totem does NOT tag a mob as mine, so I can use it to gather nodes more easily.

Level 22! +25 herbalism!

With gathering being a (pun warning) cash cow, I should be able to get a fast flying mount as soon as it's available...

Horde vs. Alliance low-level dailies

2010-12-05T11:12:00.000-08:00

Each faction gets 1 of 5 different daily quests for fishing and cooking that are available starting at level 10; however, some of these quests can't be done as a pacifist (defined as getting no kills on your stats, so things like ordinary fishing don't count).

Alliance cooking:
A Fisherman's Feast
Feeling Crabby?
Orphans Like Cookies Too!
Penny's Pumpkin Pancakes
The King's Cider

I think all of the above can be done by pacifists.

Horde cooking:
Careful, This Fruit Bites Back
Crawfish Creole
Even Thieves Get Hungry *
Everything Is Better With Bacon *
Stealing From Our Own (either version)

The ones marked * require killing.

Alliance Fishing:
Big Gulp
Diggin' For Worms
Hitting a Walleye
Rock Lobster
Thunder Falls

Again, I think all of the above can be done by pacifists.

Horde fishing:
A Furious Catch
A Golden Opportunity *
A Staggering Effort *
Clammy Hands
No Dumping Allowed

The ones marked * require killing.

With a 100% vs. 60% advantage in daily quests, that's something like an 8 gathering nodes XP difference (each daily is worth about 10 unrested gathering nodes, so the average is 20 per day for Alliance, and 12 for Horde).

Already a close call

2010-12-04T22:08:00.000-08:00

Started the Azshara quest Absorbent, thinking it might absorb some water if I just get close to a water elemental. It did -- but killed two elementals that attacked me! Luckily, I checked my stats and they didn't count as my kills. But I abandoned the quest anyway...

Now it's easy

2010-12-04T11:01:00.000-08:00

Almost too easy; as Roguedubb said (in a comment), now you get XP from gathering herbs and ore, and there are low level fishing and cooking dailies (but pacifists can't do the ones that require killing).

Given the gathering bonuses, the balance has swung back to Horde, since Tauren get +15 herbalism and gather herbs faster than normal. Since the portals are gone from Dalaran and Shattrath, I figured a Shaman would be useful:
1) Astral Recall allows hearthing every 15 minutes (glyphed, 7.5 minutes)
2) Self-rez
3) Far Sight (and I've already bought an Ornate Spyglass) to look for gathering nodes
4) Ghost Wolf form (can gather herbs without changing)

Tauren gather herbs so fast, I can have 2 or 3 mobs beating on me and still get them. I have to be careful not to hit all the new tiny critters running around though, I almost hit one with my fishing rod.

To compare, Mainchenn took 1 week to get to level 10 20; Flos (Latin for "flower") hit level 20 after just 4 days, and she had very few quests she could do at the start. Level 1-5 was mostly from exploring XP.

She has the hard-to-find Herbalist's Gloves ready for level 22; with an enchant, she'll have +25 herbalism.

And, of course, the stereotype of a pacifist picking flowers all day works, too.

WoW Insider party

2010-10-03T16:09:00.000-07:00

Lisa Poisso of WoW Insider (who published the WI articles on Noor et al.) invited me to the Wow Insider meetup pre-Blizzcon party if I happen to be near Anaheim that day. Usually I'm 1500 miles away in St. Paul, but I had already arranged to be in LA for the Firesign Theatre shows at the Barnsdall Theater (I'm a Firesign Theatre webmaster), so it's only 30 miles. So I'll see you there...

Party tomorrow

2010-07-16T14:29:00.000-07:00

Saturday, July 17
Twisting Nether realm
4 PM server time (US central time)
beach by Auberdine

I'll try to be on at least an hour early. For Alliance, just /who chenn to find any of:
Mainchenn
Altchenn
Ctrlchenn
Shiftchenn
I can add you to the guild, which will allow you to get clothes, pets, toys, and fireworks from the guild bank, plus a couple of gold. I can also bump you up in rank so you can add people to the guild if you want.

Horde might be able to whisper Reinisch, but since he's on the beach at Auberdine already and he's level 2, he won't be much help.

I assume Alliance players can get to Auberdine easily.

For Horde, the easiest way is:
Go to Grom'gol in Stranglethorn Vale from Orgrimmar or Undercity zeppelins. Go outside and get killed. As a ghost, run north to Stormwind and get to the docks and take the left (southernmost) boat; that dock has an Elf arch over it. The boat will take you to Auberdine, still as a ghost. Just a bit north of Auberdine, between the shore and the road is a graveyard. You can rez there and follow the road south. Just after passing the fork to Auberdine, go towards the shore.

Party next Saturday, July 17th

2010-07-08T22:01:00.001-07:00

Unless lots of people object, I think I'll have the "ding 80/goodbye Auberdine" party 8 days from now, on Saturday, July 17th.
4 PM realm (central) time

(Note: I had Saturday as July 16th, it's the 17th)

I already have my Horde alt, a level 2 Reinisch on the Auberdine beach, and it's safe for horde there, at least from NPCs. He's by the half-buried & burned catapult just south of the flightpath dock.

Lots of party stuff if you're alliance, horde will have to be BYOB.

Here's a shot on the beach:

My pacifists seem to tend towards a favorite outfit.

Mainchenn was a cook once he got the chef's hat

Noor wore tanky stuff for WSG flag running, but ended up with the most outfits:

Tanky

Cook

Fairy

Pirate

Fisher

Reinisch managed to buy the rare Mechbuilder's Overalls (green) from the AH and caught the sea turtle, so he's a fisherman

28 XP to level 80

2010-07-08T19:04:00.000-07:00

I'm just 28 XP away from dinging 80.

Ding party not set yet, I want to find out if issue #2 of wow magazine will be out soon, since Noor (and maybe Mainchenn) will be in it.

UPDATE: It seems issue #2 was out a couple months ago.

Total time played: 28 days, 14 hours, 14 minutes (or so)
Calendar time: Sept 9 2009 to July 8, 2010 -- 10 months

I'm thinking about doing it once more when Cataclysm comes in. Depending on whether Blizzard adds low-level daily quests that a pacifist can do, I might try to do a hermit pacifist -- that is, no interaction with other players (no auction house), only vendors. Probably imitate Gutrot and also play naked, since pacifist quests can usually be done without armor. Maybe even no primary professions, depending on the quest situation.

Here are the quests Mainchenn did to get from level 78 to 80 - delta:

Damn! A third kill credit

2010-06-06T09:47:00.000-07:00

Argh! I got a third kill credit today. I was in Nagrand doing the multiphase survey and mining to get nether residue for Gaining the Advantage, and I tried to get a khorium node that was too near a Boulderfist Warrior, so I tossed him up in the air with Cyclone and mined it, but before I could move away and shadowmeld to get out of combat, another player killed him. I shadowmelded immediately, but even though I didn't get any XP or loot, he was still tagged as my kill, so I got a third kill credit and 10 reputation with the Kurenai...

WOW official magazine

2010-02-09T17:08:00.000-08:00

My pacifist characters are supposed to be in issue #2 of the World of Warcraft Official Magazine (which won't be out for a while). If I am close to hitting 80 before it comes out, I'll wait until after that (but I'll still need to beat Cataclysm so I can have a beach party by Auberdine).

A couple of recent gaffs - I did "The Eyes of Skettis" before "Secrets of the Arakkoa," so I'm unable to do the latter now. I also accidentally killed a rat doing "Vessels of Power" when I took one vessel and it exploded and killed a nearby rat (I didn't know it could kill critters). However, my stats didn't get credit for a critter kill.

Mainchenn hits level 62

2010-02-06T00:41:00.000-08:00

Mainchenn doing quest: The Gordok Ogre Suit

2009-12-21T15:53:00.001-08:00

Noor missed this one because I thought the door key was a mob drop (it's just in a box). When I'm higher level, I'll be able to do this without getting killed and I'll collect a bunch of ogre suits for Mainchenn's ding 80 party (sorry, only Alliance level 55 and over can wear it).

Blacksmithing + tailoring

2009-12-19T16:52:00.001-08:00

Well, the 59 plateau is so boring (I only have 3 Strange Engine Parts so far, I need 12 if I don't explore Northrend), I'm looking at doing a couple more profession quests:

First, I can do Imperial Plate Armor by just getting to 265 blacksmithing. It's just a "go talk to this guy in Gadgetzan" quest.

Second, I can level up tailoring to do one of the tailoring specialties at level 60. Noor did this to get netherweave nets. I'll save all the bolts I fish up to save money. This won't help me get past level 59, but I'll try to time it so I can do it right after hitting 60.

About the most non-pacifist quest, since I have to lure helboars close enough so town guards kill them. But I don't get credit for killing them, so....

Mainchenn jumps down to Valgarde

2009-12-16T20:38:00.000-08:00

Mainchenn using his Rocket Boots Xtreme Lite to zip down to Valgarde in Howling Fjord.

Mainchenn doing quest: Defenders of Darrowshire

2009-12-16T20:37:00.000-08:00

This quest can be done no matter who kills a ghoul (unless the other player also has the quest, since the ghost disappears). Here Mainchenn gets the last four needed by following the Crimson Courier as she and her elite escort blast through Corin's Crossing.

The 59 plateau

2009-12-14T16:48:00.000-08:00

Unless Winter Veil has changed, I think the only quests I can do are most of Winter Veil for about 18,500 XP, and the Gordok Orge Suit for 6,600 XP, which is 25,100 XP. Since I'm only 2 points into level 59, and it's 172,000 XP to 60, I still have 146,900 XP to get with Northrend exploring and Strange Engine Parts. It would take 12 engine parts to level the rest of the way without exploring.

the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby

2009-12-12T15:59:00.000-08:00

The Kalu'ak Fishing Derby has two ways for a pacifist to gain XP. One is from the Dread Pirate Ring if you win, which will add 5% XP to quests (and killing monsters). The other is from the consolation prize, which appears to be a standard Bag of Fishing Treasures, which might contain the level 70 quest items Waterlogged Recipe or Sealed Vial of Poison.

I didn't win this first time, and I didn't get a consolation prize...

This suggests a slightly different Strange Engine Part strategy, at least until you win the new contest -- stockpile engine parts until you have enough to level, in case you win the ring some time later and get a 5% XP bonus.

I was able to finish Broodling Essence by following a mage who was apparently botting. I think I can try to do Defenders of Darrowshire too, since the comments say it doesn't matter who kills a ghoul to speak to a ghost. I can also do The Gordok Ogre Suit, but it might be easier if I wait a few levels.

I also got my first aid to 400.

UPDATE: I was able to do Defenders of Darrowshire, about 2/3rds of it was done with the help of the patrolling Crimson Courier and her elite escort as they blast through Corin's Crossing. Like engine parts, I won't actually turn it in until I either win the Kalu'ak fishing derby or I have enough XP to go up a level.

Engineers (level 65+, except gnomes) can now float forever

2009-11-28T11:42:00.000-08:00

Some recent changes in tinkered cloaks for engineers now makes it possible to stay floating as long as needed. Flexweave Underlay/Springy Arachnoweave now makes you float for 30 seconds (with a use cooldown of 1 minute), and you can swap out your cloak without losing the float effect. Since tinkered items don't share cooldowns (they might if they are identically named, I think), you can make a macro like this:

/use 15
/equip cloak1
/equip cloak2

Pressing this button activates whatever cloak you're wearing, and the two /equip statements will swap between the two cloaks. When your float effect is gone after 30 seconds, just re-activate it, because the 2nd cloak is ready.

Noor has already done this, but Mainchenn can't get over 375 engineering, and these tinkers require 380 engineering to make (only 350 to use, though). I can't have another engineer do it, because it will make the cloak soulbound (even though the description doesn't say the cloak will become soulbound...)

Mainchenn doing quest: The Spectral Chalice

2009-11-26T16:02:00.000-08:00

Mainchenn's turn to learn how to smelt dark iron; I had to wait until I was back to mining/engineering, so I could blow open the locks with engineering and get the mining-only quest.

(Sped up because it's too dull otherwise)

Mainchenn doing quest: Guardians of the Altar

2009-11-26T15:55:00.000-08:00

Just a big healathon so this is just the end of the quest.

It's cooking!

2009-11-22T10:33:00.000-08:00

Hit level 52 doing the one-time quests and the "bonus" daily (the daily quests after 1 AM and before dailies reset), plus a few of the same dailies again. After doing the Winterspring quests that I can do at level 52, the remaining dailies should get me to level 53 on Friday. Not too bad. At level 54, I'll drop herbalism and inscription for mining/engineering, so I can do a few quests like the Spectral Chalice and turning in the druid book in Dire Maul, plus the zapthrottle quest in Zangarmarsh at level 58.

Cooking turkeys is tricky; since they are "conjured" items that only last 7 days (both the raw and cooked versions), I can't buy them off the auction house and I can't have my bank alt hunt some turkeys and mail them. I have to buy them directly off other players, or have a go-between to get turkeys from my bank alt to Mainchenn.

UPDATE: By doing a bit more Outland exploring, I can hit 53 on Thursday. I may also take up skinning to try and do the first part of Are We There, Yeti?, since I'm going to drop both my professions soon anyway.

Cooking or Exploring

2009-11-18T18:38:00.000-08:00

Mainchenn is again stalled at level 51.5 or so... Still no solid info on whether the Pilgrim's Bounty week will have quests that give you XP. If they do, I should be able to get a lot of XP with 5 dailies. If not, I think I'll have to explore most of Outland to hit 52 (I need to discover roughly 60 areas, and I have about 75 unexplored going by the Exploring achievements, which isn't an exhaustive list of XP-giving areas).

Demon Deck XP is now 1100, down from 1400, so it looks like Demon Decks will fall off as fast as the other decks. Swamp of Sorrows is ideal to grind Demon Decks when you're about level 47 or higher, since the mobs are gray or green, the area is mostly flat, and Blindweed is all over, which is also the best herb to mill for Demon cards, since they have the highest yield of rare pigments.

Mainchenn hits level 50

2009-11-15T19:45:00.000-08:00

35, down from 65

2009-11-14T12:16:00.000-08:00

Well, I managed to complete all the quests except Screecher Spirits, and I explored WPL and EPL, so now I only need a little less than 50,000 XP for level 50, or just over 35 Demon decks.

UPDATE: I also did Death From Below, which I was able to complete due to the bugginess of the quest. I accepted the quest, no naga came, and I failed. Then I took it again, the first wave of naga came, and when they were defeated, I completed the quest. Then the second wave (of three) came, but I had already completed the quest, so it didn't matter. When I tried earlier, there were too many naga for me to heal, and I can only heal the captain and myself, I can't heal any of the crew.

I'm also one screecher spirit away from finishing Screecher Spirits, and since you get credit by talking to the screecher spirit, I might be able to do it if I sneak up on another player doing the quest and speak to the spirit when it appears...

UPDATE 2: Got the last screecher spirit; out of quests unless I can find one I overlooked. Down to about 26 Demon decks.

The 49 plateau again

2009-11-08T18:55:00.000-08:00

As with Noor, Mainchenn has gotten to level 49 with very few quests available. Assuming I can't complete more quests (I still need found corpses for Screecher Spirits and A Little Slime Goes a Long Way, need to buy lots of rarely seen Vulture Gizzards for Vulture's Vigor, and I don't know if I can do Secret of the Circle yet, since I don't have Target Dummies), I'll have to explore the rest of WPL and EPL, and grind out about 65 Demon decks...

Mystery kills

2009-10-24T12:34:00.001-07:00

Both Acaaju and I have a recent mysterious kill of unknown origin in our stats...

First, we both have 1 kill stat with a known origin; mine is the ghost that spawns in Stormwind during the Stalvan quest chain, which a town guard killed but it gave me credit for a kill, and Acaaju tried to Hibernate a bear when a town guard killed it.

Acaaju's stats don't even make sense. They now read:

Total kills 2
Total kills that grant experience or honor 1
Creatures killed 1
Different creature types killed 1
Creature type killed the most Beasts (1)
Total Honorable Kills --
World Honorable Kills 1
Continent with the most Honorable Kills 1
Total Killing Blows 1
World Killing Blows 1
Continent with the most Killing Blows Eastern Kingdoms (1)

So she has 1 honor kill, but 0 total honor kills....??

My stats are somewhat different:

Total kills 2
Total kills that grant experience or honor --
Creatures killed 2
Different creature types killed 2
Creature type killed the most Humanoid (1)
Total Honorable Kills --
World Honorable Kills --
Continent with the most Honorable Kills --
Total Killing Blows 1
World Killing Blows 1
Continent with the most Killing Blows Eastern Kingdoms (1)

My stats at least are consistent.

I check my kill stat pretty often (and during escorts), so I know this is pretty recent. The only quests Acaaju and I have in common are the Halloween dailies to stop the fires and smash the pumpkin. The "Shade of the Headless Horseman" dies after the fires are put out, and there are actually two different "Stop the Fires!" quests - one is actually called "Let the Fires Come!", which is available if the HH hasn't been summoned, and accepting it summons him. I wonder if doing the summoning version of the quest tags the Shade of HH as your kill, no matter who kills it. I can test this with a bank alt. But that wouldn't explain Acaaju's honor kill, and if the Shade isn't humanoid, my humanoid kill stat, or why it affect our stats differently.

UPDATE: "Let the Fires Come!" does not appear to tag the Shade of HH as yours; I started the event, but my bank alt still has 0 kills.

UPDATE 2: The only other possibility I can think of is that the horseman's Conflagrate attack can give players an aura that can kill other players, giving the first player a kill credit (and depending on level difference, a bogus honor kill).

UPDATE 3: Since Conflagrate can proc player abilities, it is almost certainly the cause. Luckily, the Horseman gives a warning just before this attack, so it's possible to run far enough away to avoid it.

Stats screwed up

2009-10-19T10:22:00.000-07:00

Combat stats appear to be messed up again; both Acaaju and I have large hits listed instead of "--"

UPDATE: Putting out fires for the Headless Horseman daily counts as "damage", so the only remaining statistic that shows a pacifist are the small number of kills (thanks to Roguedubb for the tip)...

Mainchenn doing quest: Gerenzo's Orders

2009-10-02T21:54:00.000-07:00

This quest was very difficult; I tried half a dozen times before I succeeded, and another annoying factor is that the adds never despawn, so I can't try again until either a server reset or someone comes along and clears out the adds (there appears to be a Tauren skeleton nearby, indicating some unfortunate player got more than he expected). I could only do this due to the mobs' inability to figure out how to get to me, so I could grab aggro by healing, but they couldn't beat on me. I would periodically lose aggro between waves which gave me a short time to drink, but with so many mobs on Piznik, I had to go back to healing him right away. I used two mana potions, my herbalism heal, my healing belt from the aquatic form quest, and my Veildust Medicine Bag from a druid quest.

Sped up; another healing escort that took about 20 minutes. If Noor could do this with bandages, I knew it would be a snap.

An old friend with a new face

2009-09-28T20:47:00.000-07:00

Reinisch's sometime partner Ahimsah has also started a deck-grinding pacifist, now that battleground XP makes the old method trivial. She's now Acaaju, and with two players/accounts, it really helps in cross-faction trading. The more populous Horde side has a lot more cards and ink in their auction house.

She might be able to avoid the pitfalls that Mainchenn encounters, like the Stalvan quest, that can add kill credits to her statistics. I think the spiders that appear (and are aggroed) during the Deepmoss Spider Eggs quest might be a problem if anyone else is nearby and kills an aggroed baby spider, as another possible example.

Mainchenn doing quest: A Fine Mess

2009-09-27T16:08:00.001-07:00

Unfortunately, I didn't start recording right at the start (I didn't think my Shadowmeld would actually work!) I accepted the quest (which unstealthed me) and was attacked by a nearby Trogg, so I jumped into the corner and shadowmelded, which removed me from combat. The movie starts when I'm shadowmelded in the corner - I change to cat and stealth out until I'm near the exit, then I cast a HOT on myself and run out so I get all the aggro. The quest succeeded when I got near the exit, so even though my shadowmeld didn't work too well, I just ran out.

Mainchenn hits level 25

2009-09-26T18:20:00.000-07:00

Lots of deck-grinding... I've even started a Reinisch alt to buy up cards, inks, and pigments from the horde side when cheap ones show up (though I still need a go-between, since I can't buy it from my own alt). I also should have done more Rogue decks before the XP started going down.

To compare with Noor at level 25... back then, Noor had a 50% chance each day to have a battleground daily. Assuming she can do it (which wasn't always true), that's an average of just about 1,000 XP per day, which is 2 Swords Decks.

Two swords decks is 8 cards, each of which requires 2 of the rare milled pigments. Milling 5 herbs gives you about 0.4 rare pigments, on average (according to El's Inscription), so each card takes about 5 millings = 25 herbs x 8 = 200 herbs or 10 stacks per day. This is reduced when I can buy cheap cards that I need (I currently lack Ace of Swords) and when I can buy the ink & pigments. And this doesn't even consider needing to get the RIGHT random cards (though over the long run, it should average out).

Rant: Magic Dust is dead

2009-09-20T13:33:00.001-07:00

Magic Dust, that greatest of secret weapons, was destroyed by patch 3.2

It still has the same tooltip, but does nothing except say "fizzled."

See wowhead.com for more details.

RETRACTION: Magic Dust isn't quite dead, it just always fizzles if the target is higher than your own level (at least for PvE). It appears to fizzle at higher levels, too.

Mainchenn doing quest: Blueleaf Tubers

2009-09-19T21:41:00.001-07:00

This only shows one of six tubers needed for the quest, and it took me a long time to do, since I would hit the re-enter instance limit after only getting 1 or 2 tubers, and I'd have to get another "box with holes" in Ratchet.

I also didn't figure out exactly what I had to avoid right away -- if the snufflenose gopher gets hit while looking for a blueleaf tuber, he will go through the motions, but no tuber will appear (and that tuber location gets "used up"). So in order to get a tuber, I had to get aggro before the gopher, and if the nearest tuber was far off, another pig would attack the gopher anyway. I had to be lucky and have the gopher find a tuber close enough to avoid combat with a second mob.

One shot. One kill

2009-09-16T20:59:00.000-07:00

Ironic title, I know. I tried doing this my standard way, by just healing the NPC, but she runs out of arrows! Just before this quest went gray, I tried it again, this time grabbing aggro and running around a lot until I got far enough to get out of combat. I thought the mobs might despawn if I did that, but I don't think any did. However, I guess it must reset her arrow count or something, because she didn't run out this time.

The Curse of Stalvan

2009-09-15T18:57:00.000-07:00

When I did part 6 of the Legend of Stalvan chain, the ghost appeared and cursed me as usual. When a town guard killed it, I checked and I did indeed get credit for killing it (though no XP)...

With any similar quests, I'll try Shadowmeld in case leaving combat untaps the mob so I don't get credit.

Bingles and the Bear

2009-09-15T14:56:00.000-07:00

First, here's Mainchenn getting one of Bingles' tools; Shadowmeld allows a little more time to grab items, because the mobs are still running back at first:

Next, Mainchenn gets bear form in the Barrens after watching a tauren druid (Seraith) do the quest:

This can be pretty easy if you put a HOT on Mist and she doesn't get into combat -- if a mob attacks Mist, the HOT will probably get them after you. Lifeblood rank 1 is a very powerful heal at this level, too.

Fairly new tapping rules

2009-09-09T16:09:00.000-07:00

http://www.wow.com/2009/01/20/world-of-warcraft-3-0-8-patch-notes/

Patch 3.0.8:
Tapping: All player spells which cause a creature to become aggressive to you will now also immediately cause the creature to be tapped.

It appears that most (if not all) passive damage-dealing buffs like Thorns do NOT tap creatures, so I don't need to worry about taking Thorns off immediately if a passing druid tosses it on me (I still won't use it). I still might modify the NiceTry addon (which takes off a hunter's Misdirection on you) to only allow a few specific buffs from players on me. It should be easy to modify.

What might be harder is an addon that won't attack on a right click. I've been trying to open quest objectives with my back to them, so if I click on a mob my attack will fail, but an addon would really help. I nearly killed a chicken doing the CLUCK! quest, because you click on it to turn in the quest, but it can turn back to yellow without warning if you take too long, causing your click to kill it. Luckily, my back was turned...

Reaching level 20 -- and rerolling Mainchenn

2009-09-09T05:23:00.000-07:00

Just before hitting level 20, I looked at Mainchenn's stats and was shocked to see he had credit for killing 1 beast, even though his "largest hit dealt" under Combat was still "--"

It took me a while to figure out what it was... when I did the escort quest The Sleeper Has Awakened, I tried using Hibernate on a Ghost Wolf at one point to try and pass by without fighting (which wouldn't have worked anyway -- the mob attacks when it wakes up). Instead, Kerlonian Evershade (the escortee) immediately started attacking it! Even though we were attacked by the (scripted attack) of furbolgs and he also killed those, I didn't get kill credit because I only healed him. But it looks like doing anything to a mob can give you credit if your escort kills it. That means I can't use anything during an escort -- no Magic Dust, no Hibernate, no Goblin Rocket Helmet or even a Target Dummy (I think). I'll do some more tests with other toons before using anything during an escort if I can't do it any other way.

Since it's taken me less than a week to get to level 20, I'll just reroll Mainchenn and avoid making that mistake again...

Mainchenn hits level 10

2009-09-06T16:30:00.001-07:00

There weren't a lot of pacifist druids that I could find; "Mainchenn" is from British mythology:

Mainchenn is a visiting druid from Britain who disapproves of the constant petty battles being carried out between the people of Connaught and the people of Munster all on the head of two magical beings who are in constant rivalry with each other.

80 is doable - grinding XP without battlegrounds!

2009-09-06T11:17:00.000-07:00

Again, I forgot that there already ARE low-level, repeatable quests that grant XP, and they aren't even daily quests, you can do them as often as you like.

The inscription decks (rogues, swords, mages, demons) all grant XP as often as you turn them in. Not a huge amount (about 30-40 turn-ins per level at the start of their 9 levels, and about 70-90 near the end), but not insignificant either. Once I do the two low-level blacksmith quests and the low-level leatherworking quest, I'll switch to inscription/herbalism and grind out decks to help leveling. The four deck types can be turned in starting at levels 10, 20, 30, and 40, but the auction house typically only has the level 10 (rogues) decks, because people use them to grind Darkmoon Faire reputation, and all the decks grant the same rep. Without battlegrounds, these decks and seasonal quests are the only XP grind I can do before level 55 and fishing up Strange Engine Parts, and level 62 with the Spirits of Auchindoun daily, until Cataclysm changes everything. (Addendum: from level 10 to level 40, there is always at least one Darkmoon Deck that isn't gray (i.e. can be turned in for full XP), and Demon Decks don't turn gray until -- level 55, when I can start turning in Strange Engine Parts)

As usual, I'll pop out of inscription/herbalism to do the leatherworking chain around level 30 and blacksmithing around 40. Since I don't do battlegrounds, I don't really need engineering except for occasional target dummies, so I can keep dropping professions as I need to.

The Night Elf Shadowmeld is nearly as good as vanish, at least against NPCs. It gets me out of combat, which is needed for some solo instance quests.

Reinisch hits level 80

2009-09-04T19:34:00.000-07:00

Reinisch hit level 80:

The special announcement is -- I'm doing it once more, this time without battlegrounds (if possible)...

Since Cataclysm will changes a lot of quests, there might be enough of a "boost" from new quests to gain more levels. Plus, if I really want to get every last XP point, I can change to Horde and back to get many of the Horde quests. With any luck, Blizzard will add low-level dailies...

Party tonight

2009-09-04T05:03:00.000-07:00

I'll be on as either Reinisch or Noorkhan (low level alt version of Noor) in Dalaran for the party.

I'll have a special announcement too!

Jeeves

2009-08-31T16:24:00.000-07:00

Again, I am helped by bots (in two senses)...

Since the plans for Jeeves are BOP, as is the controller to summon him, my only way to get the plans would be to get it while recycling a mechanical's corpse. There was a Draenei Deathknight that appeared to be a bot running around the library area in Storm Peaks, killing the robot gnomes on mechanostriders. After recycling about 60 of them, I got the plans!

To make Jeeves, I needed all 3 kinds of repair bots, and two of those plans are BOP drops. However, the repair bots themselves are not BOP, so I could have another engineer make them for me.

Party next week!

2009-08-29T16:29:00.000-07:00

Reinisch will easily get within level 80 this week, so I'm planning on dinging 80 on ~~Saturday, Sept. 5, at 1 PM server time~~ TIME CHANGED to Friday, Sept. 4 at 6 PM server time (server is US Pacific timezone). I'll do it by turning in a Dalaran fishing quest.

Anyone can make a level 1 character on The Venture Co server, and get to Dalaran unaided; here's how:

1) Go to Stormwind or Orgrimmar
2) Die
3) As a ghost, go to Borean Tundra by boat or zeppelin
4) Still as a ghost, run to Sholazar Basin and run up the avalanche
5) When you get to Icecrown, you will get a flying spectral mount
6) Fly up high towards Dalaran above Crystalsong Forest
7) As you enter the Crystalsong Forest zone, you will lose your mount, but if you are up high enough, you will land in Dalaran
8) Resurrect in the graveyard near the Violet Citadel
9) If you "miss" and end up on the ground, run back to the dam at the Decrepit Flow area and you should get another spectral flying mount.

However, you can also ask Pipkin (Alliance mage) for a portal, if he's on. He should be around just before the party starts. Reinisch can also try and buy a portal for last-minute arrivals, but that's a bit chancier.

Flying AND bandages

2009-08-24T16:26:00.001-07:00

Reinisch hit 77, so now he can fly in Northrend (albeit still a slow roflcopter).

What is more interesting is that he did the Troll Patrol quest Can You Dig It? and one of the chests had the heavy frostweave manual! Blizzard apparently changed the contents in a recent patch, since wowhead.com only lists BC items as coming from the chests. I don't know the drop rate, maybe Noor should try this quest a few times...

My Questlog Runneth Over

2009-08-17T21:47:00.000-07:00

Reinisch hit level 74, and with the Troll Patrol sequence, he might have more than 25 daily quests.

He has a 50% chance of being able to do the Shattrath cooking quest
He has a 66% chance of being able to do all of Troll Patrol (6 quests total, including the timed bonus); if he can't, he can still do 2 of them.

If all daily quests are available, Reinisch will have 28 to choose from. The average XP for all 6 Troll Patrol quests at level 74 is 12,350 XP each. Reinisch has three quests worth less than that -- the Shattrath fishing daily (and I just got the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat) which is worth 0 XP, The Multiphase Survey (9,500 XP), and Further Conversions (9,500 XP). So I'll drop those if I can do all of Troll Patrol, and I'll still do the Multiphase Survey if I can't do the Shattrath cooking daily. I won't miss Further Conversions, as it takes 3 minutes for my Gnomish Remote Control to cool down, and every malfunction adds 3 more minutes. I don't remember what I get for the Blade's Edge dailies, I'll drop the Ray Wrangling if it isn't very much once I get low on Saronite Bombs (I have a lot in the bank from leveling up engineering).

UPDATE: Noor can get these same dailies, but looking at wowhead.com, they used to be behind some other group quest chain that neither one could complete, so it looks like it was changed by a recent patch.

The Explorer

2009-08-15T12:46:00.001-07:00

While I'm still trying to find a horde tailor that can make a Belt of Blasting, I decided to explore the last few areas in Northrend to get the Explorer title.

UPDATE: Got the belt now, thanks to Zalcor. Plus, I did AV a couple times to hit 73 so I could do the Venture Bay and logging grounds daily quests.

Sha'tari Skyguard and Ogri'la

2009-08-13T18:41:00.000-07:00

I don't know if Noor missed it (I remember looking for a way to do the Bomb Them Again! daily (which consists of bombing fel cannonball stacks, not monsters) and not finding a way), but Reinisch is able to do 4 more dailies:
Escape from Skettis
Bomb Them Again!
The Relic's Emanation
Wrangle More Aether Rays
(Reinisch kites 1 or 2 rays over to the Skyguard area, and then uses saronite bombs to subdue (but not kill) the rays to wrangle them)

Plus, now he can do:
Planning for the Future

As a pacifist, Reinisch doesn't loot a lot of money. He just hit 100 gold looted since the achievement system came in...

Hmmm....

2009-08-11T20:46:00.001-07:00

After some checking, I decided to do Blighted Last Rites, because the 'victim' doesn't die, even though Reinisch (as a character) wouldn't know this. It opened up quite a few quests that I could do after that.

Escape from Firewing Point

2009-08-10T17:09:00.001-07:00

Mind Soothe makes it easy, fast motion makes it slightly less boring:

Reinisch hits level 70

2009-08-09T18:49:00.000-07:00

Doing a few more AVs to get to 70, so now Reinisch can do 10-12 dailies (depending on whether he can do the Shattrath cooking daily (50%) or the daily Battleground (now includes Strand of the Ancients, which Reinisch can't do yet)).

The quests he can do now:
Spirits of Auchindoun
The Multiphase Survey
Gaining the Advantage (now fixed! Works for grandmaster gathering skill)
Open for Business
Know Your Ley Lines
Further Conversions
Shattrath fishing daily
Shattrath cooking daily (50%)
Preparing For The Worst
Dalaran cooking daily
Dalaran fishing daily
Battleground daily (80% or maybe 66% if the new BG is also a daily)

He can also try to buy up waterlogged recipes and sealed vials of poison from the Dalaran fishing rewards for more XP. I managed to buy 7 vials of poison before hitting 70 (which is when you can start turning them in).

The best thing added in the patch for pacifist PvP is the Mind Amplification Dish; it acts pretty much like the lower-level Mind Control Cap, but since it's a tinkered item, you can create a number of helms with the ability and they all have separate 10-minute cooldowns! Reinisch and Noor will probably have 3 or 4 each, great for grabbing back flags. I don't know if it can work while in combat, the tooltip doesn't say; old Mind Control Caps used to work in combat but they were changed later. If they work in combat, so much the better -- tell the enemy flag carrier to follow you and use rocket boots to bring them back to your base. As long as they don't misfire...

BG XP

2009-08-05T17:51:00.000-07:00

Patch 2.3 first made grinding as a pacifist possible; that patch introduced daily battleground quests, so it was possible as early as level 10 to do a quest every day for anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5 bars of XP, and not run completely out of quests (not counting seasonal quests). Now, patch 3.2 has introduced battleground XP, and it's fairly easy to get 6-7 bars of XP each day, particularly with Alterac Valley.

Reinisch hit level 68, which also opens up Northrend quests for a lot more XP, including the Preparing For The Worst daily.

Enshrined Mace

2009-08-01T13:41:00.000-07:00

Bought an Enshrined Mace of the Elder from the auction house. It's incredibly overpowered with 161 spellpower for one hand!

Compare it to other items a priest can use at level 67, sorted by spellpower. A green among oranges and purples!

Ach du lieber!

2009-07-28T18:19:00.000-07:00

Somehow, Reinisch's YouTube video of him soloing Taretha's Diversion got picked up in Germany in some major way, and as of this writing has been viewed ~~11,859~~ 13,725 times (it went up as I edited this).

Google even shows that it was, for a time, among the top 10 viewed movies (but as the summary is in German, it seems to be a German top 10):

Again, via google, the boost in traffic seems to have been from http://news.deine-community.net

Plus, I just noticed that Reinisch is now two years old!

Update: Thanks to comments, I now know it's from http://wow.buffed.de/news/11250/wow-leveln-ohne-monstertoeten, a German-language WoW site. If you can't read German, here's a babelfish translation

Taretha's Diversion

2009-07-26T14:51:00.000-07:00

I had to do this quest twice; the first time, I died (and released) before I got credit for "Internment Lodges Set Ablaze", and even though they were burning, it wasn't complete. Since I couldn't re-burn a lodge, I had to reset and do it all over again. I nearly had to do it a third time, but I got credit with about 2 seconds left on my Spirit of Redemption form. I intended to delay my death as long as possible by using a target dummy, my cloaking device, and an invisibility potion, but I died right when I deployed the target dummy.

Kibler's Exotic Pets

2009-07-18T15:44:00.000-07:00

I couldn't think of a way to solo this until I remembered the platform that Vaelen is on (the guy who gives out the Seal of Ascension quest). That platform is high enough for me to zip over to the Ogres using my rocket boots. An invisibility potion and my cloaking device did the rest:

Good Day at Blackrock

2009-07-17T21:44:00.000-07:00

Managed to do a number of Blackrock quests:

Attunement to the Core was pretty easy, jumping out the window just before the big door, going down to the black anvil, and some lava jumping to the bridge. The only tricky part was getting past the 3 fire elementals on the bridge, which I did by going up the steps towards the dwarf room and using my rocket boots + levitation to jump over them.

Reinisch did The Spectral Chalice to learn how to smelt dark iron, but the quest itself was unexpectedly gray and resulted in less than 900 XP. It was still fun to do:

Mother's Milk was easier than expected:

En-Ay-Es-Tee-Why, the quest to gather 15 spider eggs, was about the same as Mother's Milk, but I didn't bother to use invisibility potions, I just ran past the orcs, feared them, and opened one or two egg sacs before dying and grinding out 15 that way (with occasional dungeon resets).

Here's the proof:

I'm not sure if Reinisch can do Kibler's Exotic Pets...

Rocket Boots Xtreme Lite Montage

2009-07-11T15:53:00.000-07:00

we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward;
and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom -- Kodos

Cooking, no fishing yet

2009-07-10T16:39:00.000-07:00

At level 65, I can now do the Dalaran cooking daily (only about 75% of the XP for a BG or towers daily), but I still can't get the fishing daily, that won't open until level 70...

Skywing

2009-07-08T18:14:00.000-07:00

After a few failed attempts, I finally managed to escort Skywing safely. Skywing took out the other mobs before Luanga showed up, and the next bit was really lucky -- my Renew on Skywing had Luanga come after me for a bit, but by running back to the other bird tower, I got out of combat! Every time I healed Skywing or got damaged (storm/lightning), I would go into combat, but I would go out of combat almost immediately. This allowed me to drink during the fight to keep my mana up and keep healing Skying. The two of them also fought straight across the bridge, so Skywing always fell back onto the bridge (instead of onto the ground) by Luanga's knockback effect. The whole thing took about 45 minutes.
