eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/earthen-ring/Iarnaigvi/statistic#130:191 - someone on the official WoW forums has just pointed this out on my armory; I hadn't seen it before and I'm absolutely gutted Anyone got any ideas what it could've been? I've never equipped anything above white quality that I'm aware of, so unless there's some epic quality quest item that I overlooked, I don't have a clue what could've messed up my clean record. It's making me want to reroll and do it all over again...

oh, wow, so sry. Only thing I can think of is that tabard. The armory does show u equipped a tabard. I'm amazed it didn't show up here. You could look at your achievements. I think there's an achievement for an epic quality item.
This forum doesn't have you flagged, so honestly, I wouldn't reroll.
I didn't know the official wow forums still existed or that anyone was even using them.

Crap, it must've been the tabard then, I have two of them in my bank... which have been safely there for well over a year! Argh! if I'd only known, I'd have rerolled ages ago instead of getting that far with it like that. The achievements don't show me equipping anything over 187 ilvl at least so tabard it is, I guess. While the site here doesn't show anything, I'm being accused of cheating over on the official forums (EU ironman thread wakes up every now and then, and now is one of the times it's awake), and frankly I'm annoyed that it's tainted my previously fairly flawless record, so I've made a new warlock, clone of the old one. Whether I'll remain pissed off at myself enough to actually level it to 90 is another question

You're not given a yellow ! in the list, and Casa stopped checking for tabards some time ago. You equipped a tabard on April 27th 2012, and did not reach level 90 until later (July 6th '13). I looked at your achievement "Epic" nothing there, ergo the tabard is the guilty part. As tabards give no bonus, help ... whatsoever, I'd say go for it. You're SO NOT cheating. And if it is tabard of the Explorer, I'd even say to keep it on and wear it proudly. I'm going to do if I ever get that far.

The tabard was accountwide so if I did equip it, doubly stupid as I didn't even earn it on that character Oh well, at least it explains things but I don't really understand why I equipped it, since I thought I'd always been careful not to, since I didn't want any possible doubt on my record, knowing how picky people can be! But if it was way back in April 2012, then I wasn't even 85 at that point, so I guess I wasn't really thinking of the longterm then. Oh well, I wanted to see what warlock below 85 was like post-MoP anyway, so I'll keep the reroll as an alt, see how far it gets

I just have a curious question. I'm not after tainting Iarnaigvi, but how did she obtain a cooking award without learning to cook. I know you can't unlearn cooking, so she never did, but achievement from obtainig one cooking award at 24/6/13. Is it part of a Quest?

Yep, quest from delivering a message to the Tillers in Valley of the Four Winds, completely innocent I rather think you can also do the Tillers daily which rewards a token without having the cooking skill, so it'd be possible to rack up a fair number of those after a while, if there ever comes a point where lvl 90 quests are realistically possible!

The last thing I would ever do is go to the trouble of delving into people's records to try to catch them out.
It's a personal challenge & everyone has their own set of rules hopefully based on the main rules. With so many silly stumbling blocks to catch us out it is not surprising we make daft mistakes. Should your one error cost you all that hard work? Did it make the slightest difference or in any way make your achievements easier?
I for one trust you to have done the challenge correctly & would never question it.
Easy for me to say because it isn't my character but that's my view on this anyways.

Thanks Alonaa Sometimes I do look at people's armory, if I'm curious about how they've come out of nowhere, since there are the odd people who have found, shall we say, alternative methods of levelling Something like an epic item equipped does merit questioning though, so I don't complain about that, only my own stupidity for letting it be a question at all. Ok, I've established it was probably a tabard (annoying thing is I have no recollection of this, and had thought I was always careful not to do antyhing like that, so it must've been very early in the character's life!), but still, that mark will always be there and it's pretty unnecessary, so it's frustrating - even though I know I've done it right, and I imagine most you guys trust me too, it's still there. Oh well, I know I've reached 90 hoenstly, and likely won't have the chance to get a lot further in WoD (I refuse to do 10 levels on only plants vs zombies/candy bucket type things; they're all well and good as a supplement to gaining exp from appropriate quests, but I will NOT use it as my sole exp gaining method), so it's not such an issue for the future I guess. I'll just be very careful with my alts! Having fun on the lowbie warlock anyway, feeling rather overpowered compared with my other ironmen around the same level range, although that has led to overconfidence a few times...

Another thing to think about, the challenge says to not equip gear higher than gray or white. correct me if i'm wrong, but the last time I checked, a tabard wasn't gear. Hence why you are not flagged on the list

the challenge says "equip" just because, its the only way to track it. like i've said to many others as long as you know you didn't cheat does it really matter?. this is a personal challenge

It's just a tabard, so no benefit whatsoever, and you're not flagged on the IM list. I wouldn't worry about it in the slightest.
