The Murloc Challenge


The Murloc Challenge is a leveling challenge for World of Warcraft: Classic. The premise is to level from 1-60 killing only murlocs. The challenge was inspired by Reddit user Lark774 LINK in POST. He started the challenge and is creating a video series to accompany it, found on youtube LINK. I am not Lark, but am creating a companion guide to accompany the challenge.

The Rules

 * You may only kill murlocs
 * You may only use gear that drops off of the murlocs that you kill
 * You may only use consumables that drop off those murlocs
 * You may only use other items (ex. bags) that drop off those murlocs
 * Optional Rules
 * Some players may choose to kill murlocs AND their pets
 * Some players may choose to complete quests whose only action is killing murlocs
 * Some players may choose to be able to buy vendor items using only the money that drops off of murlocs
 * Some players may choose to train professions, likely first aid and cooking - as these can be leveled using the cloth/fish that murlocs drop
 * Some may choose to level fishing, so that they have something to do while waiting for murlocs to spawn

Levels 1-4
Levels 1-4 are completed by exploration. For this, players typically create gnome or dwarf characters, as their starting zone is most efficient for exploration. Be sure to unequip everything, in case you die. From Coldridge Valley in Dun Morogh (Classic), walk to Kharanos, Ironforge, and eventually to Loch Modan (Classic), completing every explorable area on the way. Travel to Stormwind City, explore 100% of Elwynn Forest, then walk through Duskwood (Classic) and Westfall (Classic) exploring until you ding level 4. Once you are level 4, you are ready to kill your first murlocs!

Macros
Be sure you have an equip and unequip macro ready on your toolbar. You will be dying A LOT in the beginning, so it is important to save money.

Equip Macro: /equip name of main hand item

/equip name of off-hand item Unequip Macro: /run PickupInventoryItem(16)PutItemInBackpack

/run PickupInventoryItem(17)PutItemInBackpack

Levels 4-7
These levels are completed by killing the NPCs and in Elwynn Forest. The first kills will be difficult, as you will likely only be able to kill one level 6 at a time with some luck. Be careful to pull only the level 6 mobs, one at a time.
