People in WoW have been gaining levels in weird ways ever since
that pacifist got to level 70 (then 80) without killing anything. I thought I had a genius-level original idea when I decided to level a warlock to 80
without any armor. Of course, it turned out that had
already been done by a hunter (oh hey, he's back. He quit before Wrath came out. Joy!) So I stopped around level 25 or so and just had a high level bank alt with no armor. Skip forward about a year and here we are, me starting again with a rogue! Why a rogue? Well, the first thing I noticed about leveling naked in a
class that has pet tanks and shoots ranged spells was that it wasn't
super difficult (though I'm sure that'd change eventually, you have to admit a ROGUE would actually be getting hit a bit more than a warlock, if said rogue was soloing, which I will be).
I'm afraid I may be half-assing this, though, since I'm using Bind-on-Account daggers, but I've decided since I started like that I might as well go all the way. Also, while my ARMOR is at zero points, I'm not naked:
There is a very good, and very asinine reason for this. You see, when deciding to level a naked Blood Elf warlock, the first thing I did was obviously make it female, because who wants to stare at the back of Napoleon all day? However, as seen below, this same logic doesn't bleed over to the Alliance so well...
Staring at the back of this all day versus the back of this
So after a short amount of searching, gathering mats, and bribing a tailor I know, I found a
zero armor suit that a level one could wear, and with my now safe eyes, the game could begin!
Of course, the daggers alone are enough to plow through (I'm assuming) the entire starting zone. I got to level six tonight with no difficulty. Probably won't post again until I get out of the starting zone. In the meantime, armor is for wimps.
