Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog. The purpose of this blog is to document my progress as I attempt to level from 1-85 without spending one copper. I was inspired to do this challenge by an article I read on WoW Insider about a woman who recently completed this exact same challenge. For those curious about the person who inspired my attempt at this challenge here is a link to her blog documenting the challenge: http://doraslog.blogspot.com/p/thriftees-challenge.html

I have decided to take this challenge as an opportunity to also level a character class I have never liked, the Warlock. So Kenyaku the Troll Warlock was born.

The rules for this challenge are as follows:
  • No spending any money. Period.
  • No gifts of any kind from other players.
  • I will accept the occasional summon to an out of the way place from a guildie if offered, but will try to avoid abusing it.
  • I will do guild dungeon runs at appropriate level if possible as long as I am not carried by higher level members.
At the end of this challenge I will post a screenshot of my dinging 85 and then a screenshot showing my current gold alongside my statistics tab showing Total Gold Acquired. To be successful the numbers have to match.

  1. Yay - good luck :D Hehe - I really love the blog title - made me chuckle. Will be following your adventures with enthusiasm as I have wondered how this would work out in another class, but don't particularly wanna do it again myself to find out.

    When I started Wow I was the most shy, quiet person you could ever come across, but writing about my adventures, first for my guildies, and then via my blog, really helped me out of my shell, so hope you find that too. Don't worry if you find people reading you blog but not commenting - there are a lot of shy commenter's out there too. It doesn't necessarily mean they are not enjoying what they are reading :). Good luck with Kenyaku the Cheapskate!

  2. @Dora Thanks. I just tried my first random dungeon and while I made it through I died right after the final boss so I couldn't get a good kill shot. :( I will be posting an update when I ding 20 later today hopefully.
