Blood Thirsty Challenge

Last wiki revision 2016-03-28

The Blood Thirsty Challenge is a challenge, similar to the Ironman Challenge, of gameplay where one must make a character in very unusual circumstances. It consists of armor, weapon, quest, addon, specialization, potion and food regulations. Most importantly, death is prohibited, lest you restart at level one.

  • 1) Do Not Die! - the most important rule of the challenge.
  • 2) Minimal Quests Completed - You are allowed to complete up to 10 quests per level until level 10 and then 3 quests per level from level 11+ before becoming flagged.
  • 3) No Potions, Elixirs, or Flasks used. This includes Healthstones, unless a warlock.
  • 4) Your Killing Blow / Total Kills percentage must be 50% or higher.
  • 5) *Kills that grant Experience or Honor must be past a certain threshold: 10 kills / Level up until Level 10 and then (Level * 2) + Floor (Level / 10) for Level 11+... cumulative. For a level 10 character this means you need 100 kills. For a level 30 952 kills in total and for max level 10,549.
  • 6) Cannot join a party, raid or group with the intent of getting help to further yourself in the challenge.
  • 7) No Vanilla, TBC, Wrath, Cataclysm, Pandaria dungeons or raids completed.
  • 8) No Battlegrounds or Arenas allowed.
  • 9) Cannot be a member of a Guild that is higher than Level 1.
  • 10) No Primary Professions allowed.
  • 11) No Secondary Professions allowed EXCEPT FIRST AID.
  • 12) No Talents, Specs or Glyphs allowed.
  • 13) *Skills you have from your class (like Warlock Healthstones or Death Knight weapon enchants) ARE ALLOWED since these are available to your class without having to pick a talent, spec or glyph.
  • 14) No more than 9 pet battles.
  • 15) No gear higher than White quality.
  • 16) *No enchantments on your gear (DK Rune Empowerment is an exception as it is a class skill).
  • 17) *Shirts are allowed.
  • 18) *Tabards are allowed as long as they do not provide a boost / gain / skill that your character wouldn't normally have. These tabards are NOT allowed:
  • 19) **Argent Crusader's Tabard - allows you to teleport to Argent Tournament.
  • 20) **Baradin's Wardens Tabard - allows you to teleport to Baradin's Hold Alliance Camp.
  • 21) **Hellscream's Reach Tabard - allows you to teleport to Baradin's Hold Horde Camp.
  • 22) Cannot boost your character.
  • 23) No food or other external buffs are allowed. Class abilities, racials and personal buffs (eg. Kings if you're a Paladin) are okay!
  • 24) No Refer-a-Friend or other XP-boosting activites, gear or buffs (Darkmoon Faire, Herilooms, Garrison potion, etc).
  • 25) No combat or leveling guide add-ons.
  • 26) The heirloom mount *should not* be used before level 20, since your character wouldn't normally have access to riding if they were a brand new character on a new battle.net account.
  • All mounts, after level 20.
  • All bags/containers
  • All quests (including holiday and daily quests)
  • You may train and use all your class skills (including your own buffs)

Octavian, using a troll hunter by the name of Kripparrian on the Turalyon realm was the first person to complete this challenge from level 1 to 85.

  • Ironman Challenge
