Published on: 21 May, 2024 |
Guess what? World of Warcraft speed-runner Lmgd1 just hit level 85 in Cataclysm Classic only 3 hours after it launched on May 20th! This guy’s a legend. Not only did he plan everything down to the last detail, but he also dealt with Blizzard throwing curveballs by nerfing his XP gains mid-run.

Challenges and Strategies — Blizzard’s Nerf Hammers
WoW Classic content creator Sarthe gives us the scoop in his latest video. He breaks down how Lmgd1 found some sweet hyperspawns in Twilight Highlands to grind XP. But then Blizzard swooped in and nerfed those mobs, so they stopped giving XP just after he hit level 84 on his Shaman. Ouch!

Rolling with the Punches — Finding New XP Spots
Not one to give up, Lmgd1 moved to another area to farm more mobs. And guess what? Blizzard nerfed those mobs too! Eventually, he headed to Deepholm and found a sweet spot, raking in about 6 million XP per hour to finally hit that magical level 85.
Community Reactions — Mixed Feelings and Controversy
The community has some pretty strong opinions about Lmgd1’s achievement. Here’s a taste:
- Momoi — It’s the guy who scammed some other players for tens if not hundreds of thousands of gold in Wrath Classic.
- Terrifying1376 — At least it’s an Ele Shaman!
- LarsKochen — KEKW
- Exasin — And RF Archeology was even faster cuz 10 minutes before Cata launch gg this is ridiculous management.
- Tornado20 — Lol getting lvl 85 world first with an exploit really blizzard when are u actually going to sanction those kind of players.
- Vigor1337 — LMGD MMR GG!
- Holybrat — Who cares? This is not even a true world first. World first was back when Cata actually released, cata classic is not the same as Cata’s original release. Go do something interesting in retail then you can claim a world first.
- DG2020 — Someone else beat him to it 14 years ago. No one cares.
- Vanyryt — This guy still not banned? He offered RMT to Jokerd’s stream audience to help him hit 85 day before cata launch, he was offering gold and money paid to PayPal. I checked out a stream he did and he was saying stuff like echo raiders are losers and only in it for the money? No idea why anyone watches this guy. After he hit world first he said something like ‘I only got 4 subs, why am I even doing this.’
