I'm doing a fire mage challenge and I just got 41 and bought my mount. Very happy with my progress so far, but I just wanted to know if there are any mobs that would totally reset my progress if I encountered them.

For example, from doing some research I found that the Greater Obsidian Elementals in Burning Steppes have spell reflect so a crit pyroblast would mean certain death.

An update on my SF Shaman in Teldrassil leveling journey.

After a few near death experiences, some new gear, night elfs trying to PvP bait me and getting the really long "Long Bo Staff", I have leveled from 1 to 8 in Teldrassil.

My lvl 1 spells are becoming more and more useless while my melee hits are starting to hit pretty hard. Now I'm starting to think about what talents I should take at lvl 10 that actually helps this character since i cannot train new abilitys.

My gear has also started to break and since i cannot repair i need to gather replacement gear. So every armor piece is going to break at some point, wich makes every gear piece I find feel amazing. I also got 2 random small bags to carry more gear!

This has so far been a fun and interesting experience.

I have recorded most of it, should I make a video of this journey?

My first post caught a lot more attention than I had thought it would, so I appreciate your support Hardcore subreddit! Y'all are the best, let's keep up the great work coming up with these unique challenges, keep pushing ourselves, and playing the game in whatever way we think is fun.

UPDATE POST

After 15.5 hours of fishing for The 1 Ring, I actually made it to level 26 without the burden completely breaking my mind. Although, there have been a few close calls along the way.

Since I am playing Race Locked on Skull Rock, my Fellowship can only consist of other Halflings. We decided to hit Deadmines to simulate passing through the Mines of Moria, but an all-Halfling party means zero healers. My only defense against the corruption in these dungeons is building campfires mid-dungeon during down times.

Our first attempt was a tragedy. A pull went south, and without a healer to bail us out, we lost 3 out of 5 of our Halflings in the dark. Rest in Peace, Chintown, Magitard, and Minimorby. Bonniesdad and I narrowly made it out, me having 10% remaining HP. I regrouped, formed a new Fellowship, went back in taking it super slow, and finally vanquished the enemies in the dark.

I've attached a few screenshots of the journey so far. Getting to see MOUNTAINS, GANDALF! Managing my corruption in the Mines, and right around the time I am about to be captured by Faramir.

I am so glad to have survived thus far, time to keep moving. Next stop, hopefully Stocks so I can get another great ring to accompany my ring of power!

Today we lost our tank and comrade Turtlecow. If you see this my brother, know that we will avenge you in the deadmines foundry some day. You were a legend and your death log last words will haunt me for a while lmao. Go agane big dawg.

This is my first hardcore toon to 40 (fire mage) and I bought a mount as soon as I hit 40. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't buy it, but that was in fact most of my gold and I hear that hardcore gets harder post 40 so I'm a little leery of losing everything.

It's too late for me to reconsider, but do you all think a mount is a good purchase for most players, or is it a luxury you should skip in hardcore?

Anybody agree? For some reason, this zone always transmits a strong melancholic, lazy afternoon kind of vibe. Coincidentaly, yet again I start this zone on a sunday. Tbh, not a big fan lol.

Got the ring after 4hrs, extremly lucky hahah

We are Fellowship of the Forge, a proud dwarf guild on Soulseeker alongside our gnomish sister guild Companions of the Forge.

We started out as an RP-focused guild, just a group of dwarves enjoying the world, the lore, and each other’s company. Seeing how far we’ve come now honestly feels amazing.

I still remember doing our first full dwarf UBRS back in the summe it was a big step for us at the time. And now, standing here after clearing our first AQ20 as a dwarf raid (with support from our gnomish brothers), it really feels like something special.

No meta chasing, not another human female dual wielding warrior filled guild, just dwarven stubbornness, and a bit of ale.

If you’re on Soulseeker and want to be part of a dwarf guild, feel free to reach out to us.
And if you’re a gnome, you can join our sister guild Companions of the Forge.

For Khaz Modan!

I posted a lil while back about my new player experience, and I'm proud to say that against all odds, my journey has been successful! I'm genuinely shocked by how many people even at higher levels were willing to be patient and risk their runs/characters by playing with someone who has never seen the content before. Massive thank you to everyone who helped me, especially those who went out of their way to help me see some of the needlessly dangerous sights I insisted on seeing (caverns of time and mazthoril to name a few). Stay safe and keep being the best community ever <3

I am eternally grateful for the immersion and community drive Hardcore WoW has brought back to me! In our extremely fast paced lifes it is so refreshing to be able to enjoy a goood time with some total strangers that slowly become more thsn just names you remember.

It feels like the things we experience actually matter and the goals and challenges we face become reminders of what spending our time om this fantasy war mmorpg means.

Shoutouts to Shobek who's inspired me to push these in-guild goals and casual RP. Shoutouts to Duskborne for making this guild on Soulseeker EU and another special thanks for all the nice replies on the past posts!

I just died on my 70 HC toon after 11 days played and full pre raid bis like an idiot. Feels bad because I survived my raids and going to miss the first part of Phase 2 progression. Oh well, we go agane!
