Naked troll throws a party to hit 70
Gutrot, who has earned some acclaim for leveling an entirely naked Troll Warrior (no armor, no weapons, no nothing) has almost finished his quest, and he's throwing a party on his server, EU Aerie Peak, so everyone can watch.He's going to hit level 70 on Saturday night at Sen'jin Beach just outside the Orc and Troll starter area (not sure how he's going to level up there, but I guess he's got plans), and he's inviting everyone on the EU realms to come over, roll a naked troll of their own, and celebrate with him. Sounds like a lot of fun-- I can't make it, as I'm in the US, but it definitely seems like a good time to hang out as a bunch of naked trolls, not to mention that making it all the way to 70 naked and unarmed is quite an achievement.
Things are set to kick off at 9:30 pm UK time-- if you head over, take lots of pictures, and send us the galleries. A bunch of naked trolls is something I've got to see.
Thanks, Centipede!

Damn! No repair bills. That guy must have saved up some serious money.

LoL I wonder if he's Kara attuned...

Well, on his Armory profile, he's not COMPLETELY naked, but close enough...wow...and virtually no weapon skills, so he's NEVER used them (I guess his throwing knives were used for some ranged pulls).

@3: No, he gets +5 from the troll racial for throwing weapon proficiency.
I think it's also pretty funny that he's also working on his Cooking and Fishing.

So he ... charged, shouted and autoattacked his way to 70? I'm constantly amazed by the masochism of the Warcraft community. It makes me feel so at home!
BadMage Sep 26th 2007 5:22PM
Hmm... could Archmage Vargoth be making a guest appearance at the party?

How in the hell do you level the single most gear dependent class to 70 naked?
betak Sep 26th 2007 5:55PM
I'm guessing that he had A LOT of help from friends or guild members. Still impressive in a masochistic way.

As for how he's gonna hit 70 in Sen'jin Village, you still get a minimal amount of xp for completing grey quests (like 100 to 200). So he'll be killing stuff in Outlands, and then when he's just short of leveling, he'll turn in a quest back at the troll village to hit 70.

To the 'autoattack' folks above.
Technically once he got bloodthirst requires it requires no weapon. It does a straight fraction of your AP as damage as an instant attack.
Likely he is the uber tank here we have a guy that understands how to pull. On any bad pull this guy walks back.
While he has a lot of offensive abilities to say the least, his use of howl, last stand, alchemy, improved thunder clap are likely put to amazingly good use. Here is a man that obviously gets a lot of mileage out of Gift of Arthas, wellfed, and the like.

They did a write up on how he was doing it about a month back. Basically he we able to kill anything 3-4 level's under him with ease. He did all quests solo.

@11
You know as #8 said, He could just summon up Archmage and turn in a quest of his.
Paul Sep 26th 2007 6:51PM
@8 and 14
haha, i just thought you meant because that archmage dude is EVERYWHERE!
Kryptonls Sep 26th 2007 6:58PM
Much respect to this guy - I hope to be there on the night :)
Jarviz Sep 27th 2007 7:13AM
Any allys that want to kill a lot of naked lvl 1 trolls? ;-)

Archmage Vargoth is indeed expected to put in an appearance at the party. The Gutmeister is currently 2400xp short of the level and he should get 3000xp for turning in the quest.
He has indeed done 99% of the levelling solo - I have a mage in the Naked Noobs (Gutrot's guild) and apart from one or two elite boss mobs he has had no outside help at all! Apart from my mage there are no other guild members anywhere near his level who could help him!
