Goal 1: Level Tuanass to 60

Remember that goofy looking Tauren from Halloween? With the Refer-a-Friend promotion running out of time soon, me and my friend decided to go back and level up some characters. Tuanass was my next target. And by “leveling” I meant have a level 70 Warrior run us through instances many many times.

The last instance we ran was a full run of Stratholme, and that took us from level 56 to 60 in a full clear and turning in a couple of quests. No Baron Mount still. Tuanass is Oomkin Spec’d, and is very fun to play.

Goal 2: Level Ayuki to 60

Remember that Mage I created to give free levels to after I got my Paladin to 60? Well she went from level 10 to 39 last time. When Tuanass hit 60, I had more free levels to give, and took her all the way to level 60!

New personal record! Leveled from 1 to 60 in less than six hours! Ayuki is another Frosty, of course.

Goal 3: Get Exaulted with Timbermaw Hold

Well this I could have gotten a long time ago, but I held off on it because I was also doing Wintersaber Trainer rep. Since you have to kill Furbolgs in Winterspring, you could just keep collecting the [Winterfall Spirit Beads] and kill two birds with one stone.

I gave up on Wintersaber rep (for now) and decided to hand in all the beads I have collected so far. Turns out that after I turned in all the beads, I was two turn-ins shy of Exaulted, so after 10 minutes of farming later, I haz exaulted.

After hitting Exaulted, you are then given a quest to defeat some demon. Upon completing the quest, you are given a trinket and a quest to turn-in to the King of Ironforge, Magni Brozebeard. Bronzebeard then tells everyone in Ironforge how much time you wasted by farming rep.

New Title, and new Pet. Utada the Diplomat, and my [Defender of the Timbermaw].

Yes I use the same UI with all my characters.

It took us a little over 2 days and 13 hours of actually game time. Probably a lot less if you take out some time spent /afk in Undercity, or riding around to level up Mining, or scanning the Auction House.

Another perk of the Refer-a-Friend program is the granting of levels. For every two levels the “Preferred” friend gains, that person can grant the “Referrer” friend a level up, to any character at a lower level than the character that leveled up. The only catch is that you must grant the levels before the character hits level 60, or they are lost.

So when we hit level 59, we didn’t want to put those free levels to go to waste, so I also made a Mage on that server. I finished up all the beginning area quests and hit level 10. My friend then summoned my Mage to Undercity, and then granted me 29 levels.

Level 39 with under 2hrs played: Hacks!

So there I was, with a small crowd around me, wondering what just happened, getting accused of hacking. A level 39 Mage, standing there, still in my “White Apprentice Robe of the Mage” and my “Grey Bracers of Cloth”, with no money, and no gear. A few kind souls actually traded me some Tailored gear (thanks!) to help me get on my way. I sent myself like a hundred gold, and went on a shopping spree on my new Mage. At least she doesn’t look like a bum anymore.
