WoW Ironman Challenge - The Final Countdown

"Always watch your back..."

I wanted to give a quick update on Ironstevo before I dive straight into talking about the lovely treasure chests he's been finding recently (I'm saving that for it's own post which I'm currently working on). Ironstevo has hit level 80 as of two nights ago and he's still alive!! I honestly can't believe that he's made it this far! ^-^

Ironstevo finds another Treasure Chest

Hold your breath, cross your fingers, pray to whatever deity you can, these last five levels are going to be treacherous. Northrend mobs now only give 10% xp, so Ironstevo is relying on quests and chests to move forward. I have no intention of taking him to any of the Cataclysm zones until I have exhausted my options in Northrend. At level 80 Ironstevo has a mere 7874 hit points, even his squishy voidwalker is only sitting at 11326. I imagine the mobs in the Cataclym starting zones would easily destroy him in 2-3 hits at this point.

I'm not going to rush, I'm planning these last levels out very VERY carefully. Ironstevo is questing in Grizzly Hills at the moment where quests are giving him between approx. 16,000 - 21,000 xp. When (and if) he makes it to 81 he'll probably be heading over to Zul'Drak. The goal is to keep quests as low level as possible while still gaining max experience from them. 

So stay tuned! News will either be very very good within the next couple of weeks for Ironstevo or very very bad. Either way, it should be interesting.
