Hello there! This is my first attempt at the iron man challege. I also will be trying the other two challenges when i finish this one. I have used a notes addon to keep track of my thoughts and what is happening as i am leveling. This can of course be read but i also putting these thoughts up because it helps me get more modivated so that i dont just quit because no one else knows. So if you do read it great and hope you enjoy!
I am starting my notes off at level 14. This is my first attempt at a Iron man challenge and it is very exciting. I am starting with what i think is the easiest class/race which is a Night Elf hunter.
Here i will share my thoughts throughout my adventures to help me through the process of hopefully making it to level 100 without messing up.
I am using only 2 addons. Notes, which is to write my notes in and Selljunk, Which sells all my junk. I will not be in a guild because it gives me slight advantages and it helps listening to music while i play. I read that some think it is unfair to use the Auction house so i will not be using it and instead be vendoring anything i find.
P.S The talent button at the bottom is already taunting me to click it. Must resist.
Journal entry #1

Headed to stormwind thinking i am still in the level range to kill hogger for easy exp and kill rares on the way. I Got the quest. killed hoggers face and found it was not to difficult.
Turning in quests and heading to westfall. Hope there are not too many people there.
8:22 AM
I was thinking at which times or how long i have to wait to write these journal entry's. I have decided to do it when i need a little break, like now, there are wolves i need to kill but they seem to all be dead from other players.
I am using what i have learned from vanilla servers and am killing anything in my way that may grant exp while running from quest to quest. It seems to be working nicely.
8:42 I am now level 16. I have done all quests that lead me going into westfall. Must continue.
9:12 AM
At level 16 i feel i have already had a close call. going into mortwakes tower where elites are. I thought about not doing it. but i did, almost was a mistake. Almost died from elites. My npc Partner was not sniping. After several attempts the npc started to snipe so i was able to get close enough to use the invis potion i got from the quest.
9:39 AM
I had a close encounter with death due to stupidity. The raging chasm which is the crater in westfall. I am killing chasm slimes to get chasm ooze. I accidently disengaged almost to the bottom. i had reached 30% hp. I felt stupid because of that. I need to be more careful. I have to, i have one life.
10:00 AM
I have almost completed the brotherhood questline. It is great to come back to these quests and watch how they unfold. I have not done proper leveling since cata.
It still feels great to be doing the iron man challenge.
10:50 AM
I am now level 20, feels great but i have a long way to go. I am on my way to Stormwind to train for my mount which will be nice. I can feel it getting more difficult. I am starting to take more damage and my pet needs more healing. I am looking forward, but also terrified as to what the future holds and how much more difficult it will get.
11:11 AM
There is a quest called breaking out is hard to do, where i have to get a key that is in the middle of tons of level 16 sleeping dogs. I have passed this quest. I do not know if they will wake up or not but i do not want to die to that.
12:24 PM
I have taken a break and am now back. The quest i talked about earlier was needed in order to continue questing in Redridge, So i have gone to darkshire. Now level 21, It is already harder than the last couple levels.
1:58 PM
I am in darkshire now doing quests. I have progressed enough that i needed to kill stiches. I thought about not doing it, but it has been so long since i have. I gave it a try and it was not so bad. my pet had died but with some kiting and reviving it was completed. Now level 24, I continue on.
2:32 PM
A quest called morbent's bane seems to be bugged and it looks like it is the last quest in that line of quests, It gives decent exp, unfortionitly i cannot complete it and almost died trying to free the bugged mobs around. After my pet died i decided to let it be and continue my adventures elsewhere.
2:48 PM
I have now tamed a turtle (tank) in hopes that will make it easier.
I am ready to start leveling again. My next step should be STV. But with those Neutral fellows at the main camp that can one shot you with one misclick i have decided to run to arathi highlands to level.
3:01 PM
Just saw a blingtron 5000 in IF right before i left. I did not get the daily quest. but i sure wanted to. The urge!
3:15 PM
I have changed course and instead am going to be doing all quests in wetlands, or all the quests i can until they turn grey. But this is it for today. gettng to 26 in two days was not to bad. I am looking forward to continueing my adventures tommorow.
