Hello there! I'm new here, and yesterday I created an Undead Hunter (Blödthurster) to give the Bloodthirsty challenge a go. I like to be thorough, and since I'm already level 22, I want to clarify a few things before I do anything to mess myself up later.
1) There's nothing in the rules about transmog. I assume that since we are allowed to equip up to greens, we can transmogrify them?
2) We get flagged after four quests, but we're allowed to complete introductory quests to get into MoP, Legion, and up to the skip for BFA. How does this work? It says in the rules that we're allowed to complete up to The Final Blow for MoP, which is a seven step quest chain. In the Blink of an Eye for Legion adds one more quest to the total, and then iirc there are at least 2-3 quests required to get to the skip for BFA. That's 11 quests, give or take. How does that work? (I don't want to inadvertently flag myself later by mistake for lack of understanding)
3) Presumably, we cannot kill "rares" once we get to Legion+ (and possibly even before?) as the game internally counts these as "quests" due to the World Quest system. They are considered Dailies and WILL count for such in the achievements/statistics. That would potentially flag us as well, correct?
Thanks very much for answering anything you can!

Thanks very much for answering anything you can! welcome and good luck! 1) transmog is allowed on a bloodthirsty (and greenman) 2) All those quests have specific ID in the armory system, and some research was made to get the ID of the allowed quests. The site check if the quests done by a toon are on that list, and if not the quests counts against your maximum of 4 3)It is true for rares in Legion and BfA, but also for bonus objectives, starting in Draenor. And bonus objectives can counts as many quests so completing will probably red flag you

Just putting my experience so far:
Loch Modan is very good, lots of rares Swamp of Sorrow is very good once you hit 40 rares in Azeroth will still give good xp up to 63 included at 64 voldrune in Grizzly Hills is a very nice place. Many mobs, far enough from each other to easily aggro one at a time, and when you get to the other edge of town the first ones have already respawned

My Journey Thus Far: As Hysminai, the Human Warrior (Greek Personification of Battle).
I began clearing out the wolves and kobolds, then went to Defias across the river. Unfortunately a paladin buffed me and I didn't realize it until much later, but I died when I went hunting kobolds in the caverns. Start Over.
This last time I stuck to the boars at Maclure Vineyards for almost 4 levels. As long as they are yellow (as opposed to green) I imagine that they are still worthy foes. I left once I had achieved the 8th level, buying up the white armor from the vendor in town.
I have not yet made lvl 8, but she is still alive. (Atiesh)

(Atiesh) Hysminai has made lvl 10.... after purchasing a Cutlass from the AH for 25 silver, then finding it at the vendor for 20s, she almost had a hernia. Also question about the quests. In order to pick up Defensive Stance, there's a series of quests at the inn (I believe its a total of 3) Go talk to X. Fight with X. Go back to the first person. - do these count as 3 separate quests, or as 1 quest?

Hysminai died in Westfall, killed by a Coyote who snuck up behind her.

Quick BT question....there are a lot of chests around, some of which can give fair experience gains - are they OK to open as BT?

Blood thirsties cannot do quests. Unfortunately for the BT, it is a little confusing when a chest is harmless and when it racks up a quest. And once you click it, too late, can't take it back.
So the pro's will tell you, stay away from them. You're there to kill stuff, go kill. (That sounds funny.)
Also, stay away from dailies like Blingtrons. And we're discovering, some quests, which have no value to a BT, like "Learn to Ride" will rack up close to a dozen quests on the counter. And you don't need it get the riding skill.
Good luck in your hunting!

Hi Thanks for answer...I guess you did not quite get what I meant. I was not saying I want to open chests for the exp, I was just noting that some gave exp and wanted to know if they were not allowed. On ironman I have often run a ring around Uldum and nearby to open chests that all contain a blue item - sometimes trash, often well sellable. Have you seen the prices of green gear on the AH? I am sure it hardly ever sells at the ridiculous prices, but gold is definitely going to be needed at higher levels. Got to L34 now...just looking for new territory to hit. Can we use Chromie time swapping btw....or is that a quest?

Can we use Chromie time swapping btw....or is that a quest? almost all chest give xp. They are allowed for BTs, but some of them (like Pandaria and BfA) do count as quests so may get you flagged. Like Ster said, better not open them on a BT You can talk to Chromie and choose a timeline. However just abandon the quest, or don't turn it in. Once you choose a timeline, all expansions except SL will now cap at 50, so changing timeline doesn't seem to give any benefit

I guess yellow flag means you failed BT. So I think I will give up on BT and finish off my shaman and paladin ironman to complete the set. It says I have completed 5 daily quests....no idea what they could be. One I assume was the Blingtron I clicked out of habit early on and realised was a quest as it said completed. (Mentioned in a previous post)/ Others...I must have killed a rare that was a daily quest I suppose. It didn't say 'completed' or anything like that at anytime. Just one of those things - the game logs things as quests that aren't so for me it is really just too awkward to do this challenge. Was fun while it lasted - got to 41.

Yellow flag means that when you get to max you'll be in the 'victor list', but not get a writeup on the website. Red flag means challenge is over. sometimes Blizz will add 1 to the daily quests count even if no real quests have been done. I found a place in Tiragard that just killing mobs add to the daily count. If that happens, it just mean you must find another place to grind. On a BT, it's good practice to often checks stats to make sure the daily count do not go up

Many thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I was on a killing spree in Tiragarde! So I will soldier on. I have Chromie timed now so I can stay in vanilla to 50...there are tons of great places to farm mobs and rares for exp there.
Thanks
