New 1-70 Record
20th Mar 2008 10:27 PM GMT | Rushster | 9 comments
There seems to be a bit of battle going on for who can get to level 70 quickest and you've probably checked out Athene's video and guide posted earlier. However it looks like his original record has been beaten by Tosog on the server EU-Kil'Jaeden who has managed it in 1 day 4 hours and 28 minutes with his Tauren Druid (See update below for the latest record). The proof shot is here and there has also been a video posted...
The guys on our German sister site Worldofwar.de also pinned down Tosog to ask him a few questions about the record and if your German is good you can read that on this page.
Update: Yes this has already been broken since this was posted. 1 day, 2 hours and 31 minutes is the new record. This was acheived by Mineva (Stormscale-EU) and the well known Athene. So who's next? Any takers?

How do they do it? Must be catered by a team of outside of group healers.. can't be possible solo questing that fast to 70..

When you zone into a instance it messes with your /played apparently. Meaning that Athene and them are likely just lying for attention (highly highly likely).

if it's a real solo leveling tactic, there would've been nothing stopping them from video capping the entire leveling proccess. Since no one has done so, the way they level probably involve a lot of help from one or more characters at level 70 or some kind of dirty tricks.

basicly you hit something with one hit someone outside of your group kills monster you get credit and lvl while doing nothing

Didn't we already talk about how Athene's already beaten this?
Sorry to rain on the interview, but...
Corga - that only works if the mob you're doing that for is 8 levels below the one doing the killing. Otherwise the xp gain is miniscule.
I leveled my wife this way. She was at level 60, and I took her to Hellfire to level. Since the mobs were too low, I took her to Zangarmarsh - 62s gave LOTS of xp, but 61s gave very, very little.
There has to be some route they've discovered that maximizes the quest/grind ratio. I've found a few places in the game like that, but I haven't kept enough track of where they are and the best methods for going through the quests. For most people, just remembering to get that quest, loot that item, or empty those bags before going off somewhere else would save hours (probably days /played for some of us
).

The tag and kill by a raid following you was done from 60-70 in 28 hours when the patch was out.
Now they claim do do 1-70 in 26 hours...
Definitely not solo and very likely an exploit. We are talking over 300 000 xp per hour. And if half of that time was spend in Outland we are talking even more than that. Unrested too...as fast as these records happen, they are not parking their toon for a week to get rested.
I probaby spend 26 hour travelling between questgivers while levelling ^^

But I really WANT to believe it can be done ;) I mean, if these guys can do it in 26 hours, I can get it done in a couple days /played, right?
The problem is, I still actually enjoy the quests, getting new gear, saving up some money, etc. Major parts of the game are lost to me if I play through this quickly.
