Last night, I did something that I had actually had some significant doubts as to whether or not it was even possible, let alone whether or not I could do it.
I reached level 60 in World of Warcraft. That's not the amazing part. The servers are full of level 60 characters. The difference is that I did it by solo'ing almost the entire way. On a PvP server, to boot.
I think I may have grouped with one of my fellow guild members (Nagista, my party member in the screenshot, who was intentionally not doing much but wanted to be around for when I hit 60) like two or three times, that's it, and then he really only provided backup while I was taking on the monster itself. No groups, no instances, nothing. I may be the only 60 without a single piece of blue on him because of it, but it's true.
Now I just wish I hadn't accidentally fat-fingered F12 before I hit F13 for the screenshot, so everyone can see how freakin far away from having enough money for my epic mount I am. LOL.
Congratulations :) To be honest, you're not even that far away. Personally, before I quit WoW, I always had between 1g and 20g or so...
Gratz! I'm currently at level 41 with my highest character and have several others on a couple servers at or around level 20 or so.
Was being in a guild important?
I got into the 30s before I stopped playing, but was thinking of getting back into it and I'm not a big fan of guilds, etc. :)
Gratz on 60.
Soloing is a large feat it seems to me. The mobs themselves are usually not that bad (even some elites) but it's when the mobs aggro the surrounding 5-10 creatures that make it tough.
I'm assuming that you have a mage or a warlock? Other than a hunter, most classes just can't solo some stuff well.
Now I'm off to get to 30. Only half way there to 60 :) . Until of course they raise the limit to 75.
Shadow-spec priest, actually. Shadow priests melt faces, though, so it's all good.
I just avoided a lot of the elite quests on the way to 60. Now I might go back and finish some of them up. :-)
Congrats from Blake's Cuz! I got to 60 much the same way, though I did instance some to get a few blues. Not a priest though.... that's tough solo. Way to go. I just started a priest... so here I go again.
