Level 1 twink



Level 1 twinking is quite rare, and requires using gear without a level requirement coupled with high level enchants. While creating a level 1 twink is relatively easy, to become a true force to be reckoned with, it will cost a lot of gold and time.

Limitations
With the exception of Heirloom items, all gear that can be obtained and equipped onto a level 1 character generally has NO stat bonus, as it is either Junk or Common gear. Although there is gear that can be applied to level 1 characters, it cannot be obtained as quests for such gear usually do have level requirements. However, Enchanting and other professions are what level 1 twinks are mainly based on.

Why are they so powerful?
Level 1 twinks are potentially able to wipe out any character up to about 15 (buffed) and 25 (unbuffed) provided they are not twinked themselves. The reason for this is that ratings are calculated differently at level 1. A level 1 with 12 crit rating gains 22% critical strike chance, as opposed to under 10% higher levels receive. A full agility build can get a good 75% crit chance and a good 85% dodge. A balanced build can get 50% Dodge, 50% crit, and a solid 15 DPS. Perhaps the only statistics NOT affected by level are Intellect and Stamina, and as such your health is probably the only thing that needs to be watched in battle.

How to get started?
So you're thinking about making your own level 1 twink or twinking your bank alt? No problem. First of all, you will need a bit of money and some help from friends (and one of them should be a warlock). Choose your class first. Of course, the obvious and most popular choice for a level 1 twink is a rogue but other classes (including casters) are also viable, though their survivability and power varies.

Race
Every race has traits that will benefit a level 1 twink, so you can't really go wrong here. However, you may find some more useful that others.
 * Trolls get Regeneration (racial). Since level 1 characters regenerate health at a very high rate (20% every 2 seconds out of combat), this allows a troll to regenerate 22% of their maximum health per 2 seconds out of combat, or 2.2% in combat.
 * Humans are popular because of Every Man for Himself. Forsaken and Gnomes also have PvP trinket effects.
 * Draenei Gift of the Naaru and Forsaken Cannibalize can be invaluable heals.
 * Tauren get the powerful War Stomp for interrupting enemies, and Blood Elves can silence with Arcane Torrent.

XP
One of the most important things for a level 1 twink is turning off experience gain. Since you only need 400 XP to ding to level 2, you have to be very careful because uncovering areas on the map awards you with enough experience to level up. See Behsten or Slahtz turn off XP gains as soon as possible.

Where to Duel
Since you are not going to spend the rest of your life in the city like a casual bank alt, you have to find a good place to duel low level players. For Alliance players, the best place is Goldshire and you can go there on foot from Stormwind City. Alternatively, you can go a bit further to Sentinel Hill in Westfall or Thelsamar in Loch Modan, since players in the 12-20 level range are usually questing there. For Horde players, the choice is easier. The best place is without a doubt Crossroads. When you get to your destination, you can learn the flight path and later easily move between this place and your capital. Dueling outside Orgrimmar is also common, but you may have difficulty finding low level players here.

Gear
Any gear that has no level requirement or is not a quest reward can be used (excluding the starting clothes, since they cannot be enchanted), but the most notable and the best in slot items are listed below. Remember that a lot of the gear is non-soulbound or BoE, and thus can be found in the Auction House or traded between characters.

Items are only listed here if they provide a bonus. For purely cosmetic gear choices, see Banker outfit.

Enchants
In Mists of Pandaria, enchanting was changed so that enchantments have no minimum item level requirement, but scale with character level. Thus, max-level enchantments are now usable on twinks. However, some best-in-slot enchantments are actually from other expansions. It is a good idea to browse a site like Wowhead to compare different enchantment scales.

Mount Speed
A twink with a Chauffeured Chopper and the Guild Perk Mount Up can get a speed bonus of 10% which does not stack however with Mithril Spurs and Enchant Gloves - Riding Skill.

Tips
Learn your twink's strengths and weaknesses. You will have a limited number of abilities to use, so learn exactly when to heal, or when to attack.

Learn how to defeat different classes. If you are melee, mages and hunters will kite you. Paladins will heal themselves. Rogues will attempt to run away and stealth, wasting your cooldowns.

Pick your target. While three-shotting level 5 players is fun, it isn't impressive. Look out for higher level players (15-25) with bad gear or seemingly limited skills to pick on. Avoid players with heirlooms.

Find other level 1 twinks to duel: these can be challenging and fun.

Always be open and explain how you got titles / loot. Be patient to those who accuse you of hacking or cheating.

Professions and Skills
At level 1, you can not learn any crafting profession, fishing, riding or archaeology. Rogues can not learn Pick Lock or Poisons. You may learn gathering professions, cooking and first aid.
 * Mining: Easy to level. No need to run around and gather just send enough ore and smelt your way up to 150. Grants only 5 stamina (50 hp), so may be useful for caster twinks.
 * Skinning: Need to run around a bit. Watch out for other people's 'leftovers' especialy in the staring zones where most players havn't the skinning profession. Find dead mobs or follow a friend and skin. Master of Anatomy (rank 2) grants 6 critical strike rating which is 11% crit. This is easily combined with levelling Herbalism.
 * Herbalism: Despite the changes to Lifeblood (herbalism ability), it still gives some health and lots of haste rating to use in fights.
 * First aid: Very important. Mail yourself cloth and level yourself to level 225, when you can use Heavy Runecloth Bandage. Remember that damage cancels the healing, so learn to use them wisely.
 * Cooking: Unimportant. Going all the way up to 425 requires a lot of farming. You have to visit Dalaran to learn grandmaster cooking. You can't reach 450 because the Black Belly and the Great Feast recipe go grey at 425 and there aren't any non daily receipes that can take you further and you can't do dailies. You can learn to cook your own Savory Deviate Delight and make Basic Campfires.

Fun stuff
Below you'll find a list of items you can use at level 1 to amuse your enemies.

Buffs
The following are buffs you can receive at level 1. This only includes world buffs and buffs from other players.


 * Fire Festival Fortitude (world buff) - Awards 30 Stamina to everyone in the Capital Cities during the time a midsummer quest is handed in.
 * Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer (world buff) - Improves spell critical strike rating by 140, melee and ranged critical strike rating by 70, and adds 140 attack power to anyone in Stormwind or Orgrimmar when someone in Stormwind or Orgrimmar turns in the head of Onyxia or Nefarian. Lasts 2 hours. It persists through death.
 * (Leatherworker buff) - Adds 80 haste rating to anyone near the user. It should be noted that this should be used by a Leatherworker in the group right before the start of a duel, as it cannot be used during, and does not last very long.
 * - Awards a random appearance and a possible proc buff.
 * Mark of the Wild - Increases armor by 65, attributes by 2.
 * Power Word: Fortitude - Increases stamina by 3.
 * Thorns - Causes 3 Nature damage to attackers.
 * Devotion Aura - Gives 160 additional armor.
 * Blessing of Might - Increases attack power by 20.
 * Power Word: Shield - Absorbs 44 damage.

NOTE: The reason that many high level buffs were not listed here, specifically player buffs, is because all player buffs are automatically downranked to a rank trainable at level 10 or lower when used against level 1 characters. One other thing to be noted is that buffs that do not last very long, such as Power Word: Shield and Drums of Battle, should be buffed only seconds before the start of a duel to maximize effect, as well as the fact that a player cannot be buffed by others during a duel.

Raiding
Players below level 10 cannot join a raid group. Also, level 1 healing classes no longer have access to a heal until higher levels. So while the format has changed, twinks are looking at more creative ways to down these 'raid bosses'.

All the following encounters are listed and detailed for twinks. Non-twinks are recommended to stay away from these encounters entirely.

Gamon (12)
Difficulty: Really Easy (1/10) - 5-man

Gear: Semi-twink (5/10) - Easily doable with semi-twinks.

Gamon is extremely simple.
 * Have twinks stand on either sides of him, and deal damage, forcing him to switch targets, giving the other a stab at his back.
 * Start off with a ranged attack or Magic Candle for quick, free, damage.
 * He has a chance to be affected by Discombobulator Ray.

Hogger (11 Elite)
Difficulty: Easy (4/10) - 10-man

Gear: Twink (6/10) - Requires most non-soulbound gear.

Hogger has its own article. Please visit the page.

Lizzarik (19)
Difficulty: Not very hard, if done properly (3/10) - 5-man.

Gear: Twink (6/10) - Requires most non-soulbound gear.''

Lizzarik is a travelling businessman selling various green and white swords. Lizzarik patrols with his friend Jorb a lvl 37 ogre from Ratchet to The Crossroads and back again. Both Lizzarik's and Jorb's level might be varying from time to time. Lizzarik alone used to be a nice step up from the classic Gamon raids. The tricky part with Lizzarik is that his friend Jorb bodyguards him. This means that either you have to get rid of Jorb first or take both of them in one fight. After recent patches fighting both Jorb and Lizzarik attracts the lvl 40 guards nearby making them attack you. You cannot fight the guards back. This means that the safest thing to do is to fight Lizzarik while he is patrolling between Ratched and The Crossroads. This also adding another problem, hostile mobs. When fighting Lizzarik outside The Crossroads and Ratchet you have to be careful not to aggro any nearby mobs. Lizzarik yields no loot and no exp when killed.
 * Lizzarik has 449 hp.
 * If your raid starts a wipefest you can repair your armor if needed by talking to Lizzarik.
 * Requires you to have the Ratchet reputation, talk to Lizzarik to achieve the faction.
 * Should be fought outside Ratchet or The Crossroads to avoid guards being attracted.
 * Jorb will attack you, if Lizzarik is attacked.

Shade of the Horseman (11)
Difficulty: Moderate (6/10) - 10-man

Gear: Twink (6/10) - Requires most non-soulbound gear.

Only available once per 15 minutes during Hallow's End. Lands after all fires are put out.
 * Before landing, he may throw pumpkins at players, causing them to lose control of their character and lose 5% - 10% health every second for 5 seconds. You CANNOT trinket out of this!
 * He has 2210 health.
 * He will fight hand-to-hand after landing.
 * He is hard due to his high health, but should be taken out shortly with 10 people.

Jorb (37)
Difficulty: Hard (7/10) - 25-man

Gear: Twink (7/10) - Requires all non-soulbound gear.

Fighting Jorb is quite similiar too fighting Lizzarik.
 * Jorb has about 1536 hp.
 * Jorb's friend Lizzarik will attack you when Jorb is attacked.
 * Requires Gadgetzan "At War".
 * The Gadgetzan faction can be enterd by killing Lizzarik.

Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof (55)
Difficulty: Hard (8/10) - 25-man

Gear: Twink (8/10) - Requires all non-soulbound gear.

Blackhoof has no tricks or abilities, and is a rather simple encounter. You will lose 25 Cenarian Circle Rep. Attunement:
 * It is advisable to spread mages out and time casts so Blackhoof will take damage and switch aggro before dealing any damage.
 * Remember to attack Blackhoof in the back for Melee damage to avoid being parried.
 * Healers should be prepared to heal a lot during this encounter.

This encounter requires a level 1 attunement of a sort. This will add Cenarion Circle to your reputation list at 2975/3000 Unfriendly and allow you to set it at war.
 * Have a level 70 hunter with Misdirection in your group.
 * Have the hunter cast Misdirection on you.
 * Have the hunter aggro Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof and he will attack you.
 * Once dead, have the hunter kill Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof.

Another way to add the Cenarion Circle to your reputation list is during the lunar festival. You only have to do The Lunar Festival quest and receive +5 reputation with the Cenarion Circle.

Cenarion Emissary Jademoon (55)
Difficulty: Hard (8/10) - 25-man

Gear: Twink (8/10) - Requires all non-soulbound gear.

This fight is more or less the same as fighting Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof. This is also an alternative for alliance to fight in stead of Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof

Doomguard (70)
Difficulty: Heroic (10/10) - 40-man

Gear: Epic (9/10) - ''Fully geared recommended. All non-soulbound gear, Voice Amplification Modulator and Insignia of the Horde highly recommended. Furbolg Medicine Pouch recommended as well.''

A Doomguard is summoned by a Warlock, and automatically kills a random party member upon summoning. This is considered the hardest level 1 encounter. To set up the encounter, do the following:

Find a remote location to duel, suggestively between the Valley of Trials and Razor Hill, due to it being the quietest place, with almost no high level character interference.

Use self-buffs and self-buff items for a "real"-style raid encounter.

You should summon the encounter near the graveyard, but far enough to keep away from mobs and guards. This way you can quickly resurrect as soon as you go down to avoid a total wipe. With 10% durability loss per kill, you can have up to 9 deaths per encounter, with 1 try per hour due to the cooldown.

Have the Warlock in your group for a "real"-style raid encounter, where upon summoning a random party member will be killed.


 * As the battle begins, keep your healers in the back away from aggro, as War Stomp (Doomguard) has a good chance of killing them if they are stacking full intellect and spell power.
 * Remember to "split" tanking between everyone, with racials like "Berserking" and "Blood Fury" being used to switch aggro.
 * Casters play a huge role in this fight. Not only do they attack ranged and keep aggro off with ease, but they can avoid attacks like Rain of Fire by standing far away.
 * Your healers should be fully prepared to heal nonstop.
 * Because of the Doomguard's insane damage, expect each member to go down in no more than 2 hits, usually 1.
 * Voice Amplification Modulator is extremely useful in this battle if your trinket is on cooldown.
 * If Rain of Fire (Doomguard) is cast, everyone must quickly move, or be killed, as it will deal 100 damage per second in a 30 yard radius.
 * Cripple will effectively reduce DPS by 45%, and may cause major damage if Rain of Fire (Doomguard) is cast while under the effects of Cripple, specifically it's movement speed decrease. Because of this, it is advisably to use Racials or Insignia of the Horde to dispel Cripple.
 * Be prepared to constantly move behind the Doomguard to avoid being parried. With a fully twinked team, the racials Blood Fury and Berserking will decide the "tank", and will allow up to 10 seconds of keeping aggro on one person, if being consistently healed by the healers, and allows more damage and more time to stay behind the Doomguard.
 * It is a good idea to split the melee damage between the front of the Doomguard, and the back. When the Doomguard attacks the back, the ones in the front will attack the back and regain aggro, making sure the Doomguard constantly switches, taking more damage.

Back attack
Having twinks stand at either side of an enemy will cause the enemy to consistently switch targets between the twinks because any mob higher than level 1 has an extremely high chance to parry attacks coming from the front. This will enable constant attacks to the back which cannot be avoided.

Kiting
Requires: Result: GREAT kiting at level 1. Gives you GREAT distance over your opponent to pull off ranged attacks or to use your bandages that can heal up to 250 a second.
 * Discombobulator Ray
 * Tricky Treat x5 (minimum)
 * Hallow's End
 * 40% movement speed increase over enemy.

Haste improvement
The possible temporary enchants are:


 * up to 80/208% haste. Drums of Battle.
 * Drums of Battle and other buffs appear to have scaled to level, or a random value up to a maximum. If it is either one, level 1 twinks are nerfed pretty badly, and if it's the first, we're as good as nerfed to the ground against high level players.
