Ironman 2.0 challenge idea

[skannerz22]

you can only level up from killing npcs and wearing, using what ever drops from npcs
you can't do quests at all
if you do a dungeon it can't be through dungeon finder you need 4 people your level like vanilla
and you can't accept the quests from inside the dungeon and have to pass on any loot that is blue or epic
you can only use to the max of greens(that is the blizz minimin for being able to stay alive)..if it drops from an npc..
which means npcs rarely drop gear at all so you're likely to be naked most of the time

and this way is a lot slower due to no quests




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELIVE THAT FEELING of loging into runescape for the very first time

i used to hate doing quests so i leveled up from 1-67 from killing npcs or doing dungeons(also nps essentially since there was no dungeon quests inside in the past)

Sounds terrible, stupid and masochistic like the guy who dinged 100 from herbing.

[Prothynyas]

you make it to easy , gear from mobs will scale up and make the challenge less

the gear that drops from npcs has usually 5% or less chance to drop 0.0 so you're likely not going to have a full set and they will be of random levels usually crap levels
and without quests it's much slower being able to use green only from npc drops is to help compensate for there being 0 quests to aid exp

1 quest in wow is equal to killing 100-200 npcs

now just take note of that you're going to need that 1-3 greens out of 50 npcs to drop when you need to kill thousands of npcs just for 1 level up

i used to level from killing npcs as prot paladin in burning crusade

it takes many months but it's not masochistic unless you want to do it naked like Prothynyas would

[Sam the Wiser]

He thinks there's challenge to leveling or even playing this game, HA!

hahahahahaha why are you even commenting on a wow fan site if you don't like leveling rpg characters? go back to league of legends

This isn't trackable. Some level 100 can boost you trough dungeons.

so don't do dungeons at all
just kill npcs in the open world to level up

no quests

the way to win the iron man challenge only leveling up by killing npcs without dying

you basically kill everything in the starter zone untill everything is gray
then go to next zone and farm the green npcs

without quests and farming green npcs

the iron man 2.0 would be much much much slower since blizz designed quests to give you most of your exp

added difficulties could be you can't enter an inn or city ever so you never get any rested buff
meaning you would have to find ways to level up without entering the city untill level 73 where you would be forced to enter stormwind to take the boat to northrend then back to stormwind for cataclysm and pandaria

[Raetary]

sounds terrible.

You can take the boat to Howling Fjord instead of the one to Borean Tundra. But the rested XP point is pretty moot if you keep on track, you're not even gonna get one mob worth of XP out of the little rested XP you'll get.

Needs a name. I propose "The shit idea challenge™"

[Amerissis]

What do you mean by NPCs? Just the questgivers and repair people and such?

[Trickname]

I feel I've missed something. Is there actually an added element of difficulty or is it just a longer method of doing the normal challenge?

In the case I haven't misunderstood. Personally I wouldn't class grinding green mobs for hours on end as an added challenge as it doesn't add an extra element of danger to the levelling process it simply requires extra time investment. It's far from worthy of the title "Ironman 2.0"

[Deleted]

Theres no challenge on what you propose.

Doing quests naked poses much more risk with escorts and other kind of quests. You basically want to lvl up just by grinding, that poses no challenge :S

And greens are not that rare you would be full geared by lvl 40~ even if it didnt have apropriate stats.

[Nadia500]

you make it to easy , gear from mobs will scale up and make the challenge less

ok I will try it

[heef]

Sounds like a sure fire way to become an alcoholic.

If that's the goal, just start drinking. Don't bother with this silly idea.

[Arrashi]

You mean the most fascinating aspect of all RPG which is a mob grind ? I think i will pass.

[Sanguinerd]

So besides sitting at your pc like a zombidiot killing npc's because you want a "challenge" why.. exactly would anyone WANT to this boring as f**k idea?

[Spl4sh3r]

Why not go by you can only kill mobs in a zone until they stop giving exp then move to an adjacent zone to continue. You don't get to equip anything that drops or from any other sources.
