Hi everyone. I'm thinking of returning to ironman as I had a friend want to play, so I paid for a month sub.
I seem to recall a requirement that we needed to change interface to "only display character achievements to others". Is this correct? Is there something else I need to do/change a new toon? I don't really plan on adding my toon anytime soon to the challenge. So assuming I continue on her, she may end up pretty high level before I would actually add her.
I haven't decided how far in the challenge I will go as I'm still pretty bent out of shape that blizz killed my pally by putting a new elite next to kadgar at the dark portal just before legion launched. And to add salt to the anguish, they took away everything I loved about being a hunter on my main.
Anyway, I dont want to fail before I even get started. I did read the rules on wowchallenge, which for the most part kept the challenge intact except for a few tweaks that I actually appreciate such as mounts & garrison changes. But I didn't see it address the character achievements, so I'm also wondering if there's anything else I should be aware.
Hi to all you oldies but goodies. And a special hi to all those who came after me.
hugs tanee

You do need to select "Display Only Character Achievements to Others" for sure.
As far as when to list your character, we'll eventually be making it a requirement to add your character in somewhere between level 10 and 20 (not 100% on that yet).... so listing your character early is definitely better.
Also, if you have a friend that wants to play there is a Teams option we have open right now.
Also... welcome back :-D

Hi Stone:
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I did change the achievement on my new toon. I'm assuming that's all I need to be concerned with initially, being an veteran challenger. Haven't played wow since Legion, and even my old main remains at level 100.
My friend who is new to wow would be bored to death as an iron as he's really only interested in pvp. So far, he's not even enjoying the normal toon leveling process, and groaned with I told him i could get him to 60 in less than 3 days.
I'm making a pally because I'm truly insane. Since I haven't played for such a long time, I'll probably die way before getting to max as so much of this challenge is experienced based, and it has just been way too long for me. I figure that when she dies, she can just be my tester. I'm thinking if I continue, I'd add her after Tanaris which would make her between level 45 & 50. Having probably made over 50 irons, I'm really in no hurry to officially add her to the challenge boards, and at this point, I'd just be happy getting her, alive, to the level my highest pally made it, which was somewhere in the 90's.
Good to hear from you, and hoping all is well with you and yours.

Jan 20th there is a contest, maybe this will give you a reason and prehaps a drive to push yourself to being a champion again as you were in the past. I believe you was t a past Pacifist champion too?

Yep, that was me. Oh how I loved ironman. But hated wow after blizz killed my pally and destroyed everything I loved about being a hunter. Currently my new pally is level 25, and I'm amazed at how much easier Legion made it. I'm pretty sure eventually it will get hard, just not sure when which makes it hazardous for me. Overconfidence has killed me many times. I am currently enjoying leveling, and I so hope it will continue should I go splat.

Welcome back tanee! Your guide was my bible when I first started this challenge. Last time, I gave up after a stupid mistake killed me at 91. I'm 83 now and it definitely is easier now, but I suspect that'll all change when the new patch comes out.

Not sure what happened, but I will investigate eventually. I should have a hunter, druid, and priest at level 100. At least that's what I remember. It's been awhile, but I just can't imagine doing a pacifist while I had the others undone.

Perhaps you are getting confused with maxxing 4 in mists.

Perhaps you are getting confused with maxxing 4 in mists. How do we spell "old timers"? You are so right. I had gotten to max when it was 90. I'm just amazed I did pacifist first & then went to pally over my hunter. I guess that's why I use the title, "The Insane". I'm even having trouble remembering which zone I did and at what level I did it in, so I'm having to refer to my own guides. Oh well, old age is a beautiful thing. On a happier note, I did officially add Libertie to the challenge at level 38. Although I do prefer not adding them until level 50. But at least this way if I did a big oops, at least I know it a little earlier.

The contest starting on the 20th, will we have to start a new lvl 1 toon for it or as long as we're below lvl 20 are we gtg to join? All the contests that i create have certain stipulations, involving race/class, default specs, contest only rules that are seperate to the actual challenge. It could be that your pre-leveled contest char does not meet the requirements, but who knows, perhaps it does. I try to put a few curve balls in so that people refrain from pre-leveling a contest toon. To answer your question, it would be polite to start from level 1, there is nothing stopping you from pre leveling if you know what the rules are. I would be surprised if you do Tbh a 3-4 hour head start over a 2 week contest doesnt hurt anyone, there are always some very strong, talented, seasoned challengers that take part. Good luck, im happy to see new faces taking part in the contests and hopefully in the challenges going forward, see you there.
