Tinker, Tailor

For a while, I'll have engineering and tailoring, so while it lasts, I can fly around on a rug:

Here are the quests Mainchenn did to get from level 55 to 60

Mainchenn doing quest: The Gordok Ogre Suit

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

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.

Mainchenn doing quest: Shizz Work

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

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

Mainchenn doing quest: Defenders of Darrowshire

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

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

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.
