Preparation for the Gnaked Gnome Race.

Filed under: World of Warcraft — John Jorgensen @ 10:42 pm

BRK is organizing a Gnaked Gnome Race on the Drenden server. The goal is to take a level 1 gnome from the starting area to Menethil Harbor. The first one to the bridge wins um… Some unspecified thing. If you’re interested in participating, go hit BRK’s site.

I was curious how hard the run would be, so I created a gnome warrior on some random server and set out. If you go the obvious route, there are several danger points along the way:

  • The trogs in the first tunnel
  • Random mobs in Loch Modan
  • Orcs in the pass
  • Random mobs in the wetlands

I decided to try the less traveled path up behind Ironforge. This path is shorter and has different dangers:

  • The trogs in the first tunnel again
  • falling
  • getting lost
  • Sludginn
  • murlocks

I managed to make it without dying in a little less then 18 minutes including some time spent taking screenshots of the air strip. I may have to try the official run and see how well I do.
