In only 27 hours time played after the release of Wrath of the Lich King, Nyhm, a warlock playing on the European Hand of A’dal server, has won the title of the world’s first level 80.
He used a set route, and strategy for grinding locations that he developed while playing in beta, and shares one of his best grinding locations. In the Grizzly Hills in the crypt in Drakil’ji Ruins, the mobs are nuetral, and respawn about every thirty seconds.
He told MMO Champion, “I also had to optimize my downtimes and decided to level with a healer out of party, Pavelomm was nice enough to spend the last 27 hours healing me without taking any XP and he obviously played a huge role in the process.”
Other players had made the claim to fame before Nyhm, but were banned for using bots. So Nyhm is the first legit level 80, in only 27 hours.
Obviously grinding through all of Blizzard’s new content couldn’t have been the most compelling experience, but none the less, you have to admire the pure dedication that he put into it.
