🎯
Challenges
Optional, self-imposed difficulty modifiers. Activate one (or several, if they don't conflict) at the Shrine of Challenge near your starting graveyard, before level 2 (or level 55 for Death Knights). Each one grants and equips a title the moment you begin, so everyone can see what you're running.
Hardcore
“the Deathless”
Death is permanent. When you die you become a ghost forever and will be disconnected on login. No resurrection is possible.
Semi-Hardcore
“the Brave”
On death, all equipped gear and all carried gold are destroyed. Your character survives. Cannot be combined with Hardcore.
Self-Crafted
“the Self-Made”
You may only equip gear you crafted yourself. Anything else refuses to equip.
Item Quality Level
“the Threadbare”
You may only equip Poor or Common quality gear. Uncommon and above refuses to equip.
Slow XP Gain
“the Steady”
You receive only 50% of normal experience from all sources.
Very Slow XP Gain
“the Painstaking”
You receive only 25% of normal experience from all sources. Cannot be combined with Slow XP Gain.
Quest XP Only
“the Diligent”
You gain experience only from quests. Kills grant no XP to you (your pet still gains reduced XP from kills).
Iron Man
“the Ironclad”
Gear capped at Common quality, no enchants, no potions/flasks/food buffs, no trade skills (except Runeforging/Poisons/Beast Training), no grouping, and talent points reset on level-up. The strictest challenge available.
Self-Found
“the Self-Found”
You cannot trade with other players, send or receive mail, or use the guild bank. Everything you use must be found, looted, or crafted by this character alone.
