World of Warcraft: Level 1-85 in one hour (time-lapse)

  

I recently leveled an orc mage from 1-85 in order to get my guild the “Classy Orcs” achievement and decided to fraps the whole thing and condense it into a time-lapse. In this format, every minute is condensed to one second, thus every minute of video contains one hour of leveling. My final time was right around an hour, which was convenient, ha! Yes, I used heirlooms, used a guide, got guildies to help me with group quests, and died a little more often than I’d have liked, but it was about the time-lapse, not about pro’ing it up, so I’m okay with it. Also note that disparaging comments will be removed without hesitation. If you hate it that much, turn it off. Anyway, enjoy.

He’s a sweetheart. Mounts and pets he’s bought me usually make an appearance on all but my main, where I use whatever mount I’m not bored of yet and a panther cub as a kind of commemoration to a lost pet. -How long did it really take you? -In raw playing time, 60 hours. In real life, about a month between work shifts, days off, and days dedicated to grinding VP (ugh). -Why didn’t you go to Outland at 58/Northrend at 68 …
