I love this, as I seem to love most of the things that Mania does. She’s just posted that she’s put together a whole guild of hunters , all with XP turned off at different levels, for one purpose: testing pets as they move up the leveling ranks. She says she cheated a little bit to do it — transferred alts from other realms, and it’s Alliance-only — but just having the idea to put something like this together is super creative. We’ve talked about people who’ve leveled up one of every class before, but I never considered just how much the XP-off option changes the game in terms of what Mania calls “special purpose characters.” Of course, raiding at level 60 is one way to use it, but you can go even lower than that — want to farm Runecloth without it getting too boring? Roll up a death knight, and leave him in Felwood to grind on Furbolgs. Really love running, really running, Scarlet Monastery with your friends? You can all roll characters to 39 (or lower, if you’re looking for a regular challenge), turn XP off, and leave them camped outside the instance. Turning XP off means you can create characters for almost any purpose, and having heirloom items (especially if you buy cloth, which any alt can wear, even if it means they take an armor hit in some cases) means that leveling them up doesn’t take more than a few days of free time. Lots of interesting ideas to play around with there for sure.

You hear a lot of complaining about leveling up new alts. Having to see the same content again. And I’ve even said so myself from time to time and meant it. But recently, I dusted off my JC alt and decided to make a push to 80 with him, in part to have a toon to cut all these epic stam gems I need for my tank set now that I’m prot/arms… and also because, griping be damned, I missed fury. (Yeah, yeah, no one’s surprised I caved and went back to Titan’s Grip , not even me.) Yes, that’s right. My JC alt was a level 70 warrior. And now, he’s a level 76 warrior. And I’m having a blast seeing all the stuff I’ve already seen four or five times now (depending on if you count my Horde alts and taking into account that they have different quests to some degree) on a class I’ve already leveled to 80 twice. (I also leveled my draenei warrior to 76 before abandoning him.) To be honest, part of it is the fun of trying out a fury spec designed entirely around as much self healing as possible with the Glyph of Bloodthirst and Blood Craze , and part of it is just that I missed these particular questlines.

The sneaky database over at MMO-Champion has uncovered a little spell/aura/attribute hidden in the patch 3.3 PTR files that hints at some extra XP from future versions of heirloom gear. Currently, with two pieces of heirloom gear, you can get up to a 20% bonus ( the chest and shoulders each give a stackable 10%, while heirloom weapons give nothing). But this Heirloom Experience Bonus +5% “spell” grants an extra 5% experience, so it could be that in the future, we’ll see pieces of heirloom gear that have an extra bit of bonus on them — maybe gloves, cloak, or a belt — that will bring the total bonus XP up to 25%. There’s no base level or other identifying information on this attribute (we call it a “spell,” but really, given its information in the game, it seems like a gear-specific ability), so we can assume that it’ll be a full 1-80 bonus, just like the current heirloom gear in the game. Unfortunately, we haven’t actually uncovered any new heirloom items yet, so we have no idea if this stuff will show up in patch 3.3 or the expansion. And of course, just because the bonus applies from 1-80 doesn’t mean the gear can be worn that whole time — it sure seems like Blizzard wouldn’t necessarily want Worgen and Goblin alts speeding past Cataclysm lowbie content. But we’ll see — in the meantime, look for a little extra heirloom power, coming soon. Thanks, Gene! Patch 3.3 is the last major patch of Wrath of the Lich King . With the new Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons and 10/25-man raid arriving soon, patch 3.3 will deal the final blow to the Arthas. WoW.com’s Guide to Patch 3.3 will keep you updated with all the latest patch news.
