Announcing Race to World First: Wrath of the Lich King Classic Level 80

The time has come for us to once again set sail towards Northrend, the continent where many World of Warcraft players started their journey. Method is proud to announce our Wrath of the Lich King Classic launch event, the Race to World First Level 80!

The coverage on twitch.tv/method will feature many renowned speed levelers as well as familiar personalities, hosts and players in the World of Warcraft community.

Join us in celebrating the return of the Lich King for the RWF Level 80 at 10pm CEST on Monday the 26th of September!

The Race to World First Level 80 event

This Race to World First event will follow the perspective of many different streamers as they embark on their journey to reach max level individually as fast as possible in Wrath of the Lich King Classic.

Classic WoW content creator, Kargoz, highlights four levelling strategies the competitors may use to level as efficient as possible:

• Dungeon Cleave - A dungeon group specialised for either Spell Damage Synergy (Spellcleave) or Physical Damage Synergy (Melee Cleave) to min-max combat efficiency.
• Open World Questing - Usually done solo or as a duo. Players who choose this method will most likely start in Dragonblight at 71 after turning in pre-quests in order to get ahead of the pack.
• Solo Dungeoning - Players doing this strategy will solo X amount of trash mobs before resetting the instance whilst monitoring their hourly lockouts.
• Group Mob Tagging - A strategy where the player tags a group of mobs and deals damage up to a certain threshold before their helpers kill the mobs without being in a party, granting the player who tagged the mobs a lion's share of the experience.
