Big congrats to Curlsnout, despite his "Mark of Exile" (so, he put on his safari hat..) anyway, still a congrats from someone who can't sneak past 20 levels without a choking fear of dying...

I would like to add my congrats too... but I just can't. Same as Crystaltear's awesome "performance", I feel his "achievement" was not obtained within the ironman rules. There is no reason - WHATSOEVER - to wear the blue Safari Hat, unless you want to benefit from the extra 10% pet battle experience. The Dalaran ring, although just a convenience, is not accepted by the rules. His "X" is well-deserved. If you all feel that just because somebody reached 90 we can bend all the rules to accommodate him/her I feel this challenge has run its course. Yeah, it's still a personal challenge but the part where we should care somebody reached 90 has ended.

No bonusses whatsoever to XP you could not earn for two more months. I once equipped Purple Brewfest Stein and was marked as well. And IF I ever get explorer's tabard I will equip it come all the ! or X that may! I still want to cheer Curlsnout on reaching 90. His progress is adequately slow for a IMC and one use of a fancy ring (the teleport) and hat does not make his accompilsment less to me GRATZ Curlsnout.

Dranina, I think you are wrong - the fact he has the "X" at 90 means he had the Safari Hat equipped when he dinged 90 and his char was last updated. Do you still have the mark after you updated your char without the Purple Brewfest Stein?

The mark should never go away unless Casa manually removes it, so if an item has once been seen equipped, the mark remains forever, regardless if it's seen again or not (I think occasionally updates to the site will wipe things but basically, you can assume that a mark could be an old one from ages ago)
I didn't personally see when he gained that mark, so can't really argue for or against, but it's entirely possible that he only used it before pet battles gave exp.

Do you still have the mark after you updated your char without the Purple Brewfest Stein? Exactly what Iarnaig says here is correct: The mark should never go away unless Casa manually removes it, so if an item has once been seen equipped, the mark remains forever, regardless if it's seen again or not (I think occasionally updates to the site will wipe things but basically, you can assume that a mark could be an old one from ages ago) I didn't personally see when he gained that mark, so can't really argue for or against, but it's entirely possible that he only used it before pet battles gave exp. I had the mark for several levels and many days' worth of logging in and out with "legal stuff" in my hands. I eventually bade Casa please remove it - see the thread "I'm a marked Draenei" ( wowironmanchallenge.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=425 ) I died since, at level 36 PvP sneak-attack during Hallow's End), but I'm reasonably sure the mark would still be there if not Casa had removed it. And I noticed Curlsnout get that ! and it was if not the 26th of January then in the beginning of February, long before Battle Pet XP was even a rumour to me, I mentally put it in the "Purple Brewfest Stein-Box"

One thing for sure :
Curlsnout made it to 90 without dying. That in itself is a feat of strength, and congrats for that.
Was the toon a real iron? Hard to say. Band of the Kirin Tor has some stats bonuses. Maybe he just used it for the teleport, maybe not. And if not, what other items could have been used?
So the 'X' is well deserved

Many congrats Curlsnout - it's very hard to even get to the max level with no restrictions so applause to your dedication regardless of the purple ring which I feel was purchased for teleportation rather than a miniscule comparative stat bonus. Well Done.

Not sure of the items in question but I will say congratulations to getting to 90 . That's still an accomplishment to be proud of.
