No matter how good at questing in World of Warcraft Classic you think you are, I’m pretty sure we’ve found someone better—a singularly determined madlad has hit level 60 on every single class in the game’s hardcore self-found mode.
For the uninitiated, that means that they’ve gotten to level 60 without dying and without any outside help, as self-found players can’t trade with anybody, send or receive mail, or use the auction house. Essentially, any gear or materials have to be found or plucked from the earth with your own bare hands.
But user Foxdog175 on the r/classicwow subreddit has done it. As a matter of fact, they’ve done it 11 times (thanks, WoWHead): “If I’m being brutally honest, only three of my toons should have made it to 60. I’ve had razor-close calls on just about every class to 60,” they write.
For instance, their Warlock nearly died in the ocean to Stranglethorn Vale boat captains on a HP so low they couldn’t see their health bar, their rogue barely survived a disconnect in Tanaris, and their paladin was saved from a pack of bloodthirsty elites by an aggro reset bug.
