Thank you! I've been away from WoW completely for like a year, so a lot has changed, and there's a lot to get used to. But I kept picking up junk lvl 100 armor on my main and it just made me think about Ironman, like, all the time. Let's see how long I last.
I'm so happy account-wide mounts are now allowed. No more running for meeee. I was also surprised to learn about goblin glider kits being allowed, even if they continue to be hotly debated. Watch me though: I'll get overconfident and have at least one falling death anyway.

If you take the Dalaran portal to Caverns of Time, where you land in Tanaris is 100% perfectly safe. A level 90 Iron could get to 100 in a few days max just by logging on whenever the Tanaris invasion is up.

It's OK, Discordkitty has been resurrected as a non-Iron Demon Hunter. I <3 her. And Discordiron is... level 8. Kinda pointless trying to Iron during prepatch, but I might make the effort to get her off the lost Isles this week. Will just have to hope like hell there's no Doomsayers in Org that day.

I've been away for awhile (my new Iron is level 8 and still sitting on the Lost Isles) but I've been sending my alts through invasions etc and can tell you the following:
1) Doomsayers only happen in Org and Stormwind. This is a pre-expansion event, so they won't be around anymore after Legion starts, don't worry. 2) Invasions now grant a ton of XP. It's possible to take part in an invasion without dying, but it's also crazy risky. I don't see any rules saying we can't take part, probably because it's so suicidal no one's really wanting to take that risk.

How about the Wandering Isle challenge? Get a Pandaren to level 100 without ever choosing a faction. I've always been incredibly impressed by Doubleagent.

Congratulations! Glad to see someone else make it before Legion!

My first Iron was a Horde Pandaren warrior. Got all the way to level 16. :') I would not recommend visiting Ghostlands at all tbh. The quests are boring and long and death is far too easy. Rather take the undead route. I did a breakdown of the route that proved to work best for me as a horde here though I'm a hunter so it might not all apply.

But ; even if you're a bit incompetent when it comes to which spec to pick for a situation, you could happen to choose a good spec for the situation and it would make it easier than if you had no spec. Sure. And you could happen to choose exactly the wrong spec for the situation. That's a gamble. And gambles are deadly to an Iron. Whether or not things are easier now - I can't honestly comment. The entire game has become progressively easier for me as I've struggled my way through Ironman, even on characters who aren't irons. I've turned from someone who died as almost a hobby to someone who almost never dies.

I think that being able to change your spec to suit a certain situation can potentially be quite beneficial, but it would take a lot of knowledge and skill to pull off effectively. And isn't that in part what the Ironman challenge is about? Testing our own knowledge and skill?

Death by falling is the worst, especially at a higher level. RIP!

I thought I could go a whole week before creating a new Iron buuuut I've already made one, along with a proper scout this time. Discordkitty is dead, (I wrote a post in her honour on my blog) and with her, my dream of a Blood Elf Iron. (Anaralah will have to achieve that one.) I plan to resurrect her as a demon hunter. Instead, I've decided to embrace Legion by creating a Goblin Hunter so that I can have a collection of mechanical pets. Goblins don't have the world's most amazing benefits, but they're OK. The access to a bank and the discounts are nice perks, the Rocket Barrage is a nice extra attack, and the Rocket Jump can be useful. The car you get for the first few levels is also nice. This time, I've created two goblins that I'll level simultaneously. The first is the IRONSCOUTRON-2, or Istronii. She will be allowed, sometimes even required, to die. The second is Discordiron. It's a pun. Not a very good one. I'm still focused on Loremaster though, and unlike before I can really take as much time as I want to with no real deadlines looming ahead, so it'll be awhile before I update again.

I do have to inform you that, even though you made it to level 91 (and did better than 99+% of all attempts), that's just a bit short, so we can't teach you the Secret Handshake and you can't get into the Club Iron Bar and Grill in Dalaran. Them's the breaks, unfortunately. (There's always next time, though.) Rat damnit! I'm just going to have to bow back in sometime (though not with Discordkitty). Meanwhile, I did offer to help with the zone guides, so I guess my focus will be on that.
