This is my first ever attempt at making a video like this, and it took me AGES to make. It took a while to become (somewhat) efficient with the software used, and there was quite a lot of scope creep involved (I'd originally forseen the video being 20 minutes long max), but I'm really happy I got there in the end. A significant limitation was having to make a video about an alive online world whilst showing only me the entire time. I hope it doesn't spoil the video too much. It's a bit rough around the edges, I definitely think I messed up the audio levels, but overall I'm proud I actually managed to get it finished and uploaded! Any questions? Ask away! Any feedback to give? Please do!

The class quests truly were special. I started playing at the tail end of TBC, and leveled a warlock as my main. Quests to tame each of your minions every ten levels. The level 20 weapon quest, and the level 40 and 60 mount quests were truly epic. They genuinely made you feel like you’d accomplished something. Nowadays you just get it when you turn 60. But I *earned* my Dreadsteed of Xoroth the hard way - taming it at the bottom of Dire Maul with a group of guild mates helping me beat it into submission. It was a long quest, and the mats needed ended up costing more than people would pay for a regular level 60 mount, but the Dreadsteed was special.

Oh bro this gave me so much nostalgia. I was 16 y.o. broke and the only warlock in our little guild. The only reason I got the mount was because my guildies helped me to pay for the mats so they could experience the questline as well. After wiping so many times we finally got it for me at 2 AM. I had school the next day too 😅

You struck a hard chord in a lot of us with this video, I think. But it digs deeper than the nostalgia alone. A lot of us had deeply personal experiences with WoW, in our own ways. You captured the atmosphere and wonder of it all so well. I was never deep into it but I still sunk a lot of time in for years when I was a kid, on my dad's account. Watching this made me feel like a 10 year old again, playing my dad's Paladin while he was at work or asleep or away. Gathering minerals or whatever small things might help him on his path. My dad passed away last December, unexpectedly. I havent thought about WoW much over the last 10 years but since then, things like this really bite at me. The wonder of this game especially for a dumb kid was so immensely special. Lately I've been remembering forgotten feelings, and even just watching videos like this bring back so much. But this is something even more special, I'm not entirely sure why but your video truly invokes something deeply special. Maybe my dad did this quest, years ago. Maybe he didnt. I'll never know. But I feel closer to him regardless even in just watching this. And he'd love this video too. There was a magic in this world. I subscribed to you immediately. I am so grateful for your leap in making this video. Please continue to do more. This was beautiful and I hope for more amazing content. You not only brought out my lost 10-year-old-self, but you made me feel closer to my dad at the same time. You'rve given us a gift, and I sincerely hope you continue. I know my dad would want you to

Needless to say WoW has been a huge part of my life and remains so to this day as I'm autistic and it's one of my special interests. Watching videos like these fills me with such a deep sense of nostalgia. Most creators would have covered this quest in a way that showcases how annoying it is to get all the items, but honestly it is an adventure and a nice one at that. It reminds me of the druid aquatic form quest. It sent me all over the world and I didn't hate any minute of it, it filled me with a sense of wonder and set me on a path where later in the game I'd go out of my way on purpose to explore inaccessible areas and secrets.

This is when I really felt like I'd made it, that I could really call myself a paladin, and I ended up using Verigan's Fist for well longer than 10 levels, not replacing it until I'd reached the Western Plaguelands to face the horrors that made me play a paladin in the first place and got a sick glowing sword as a quest reward.

As a Wow player since TBC (retired for some years now), The level of detail put into Wow's lore and questing never ceases to amaze me. Things like the blind trader in Silverpine Forest are inconsequential backstories that most people (and myself) glance over and ignore. Still, at the same time they are the things that add spice to life and make you feel part of a vast, undiscovered, and very much living world, ripe for the picking. It makes me think of the start when the game was new to me, and exploring was the goal itself, instead of later when it became leveling up as fast as possible to be able to raid the latest dungeons and get the best gear for showing off and stroking the ego. I think your style is unique in that it combines different styles as you mentioned, and feel I could watch many of these, knowing that the game offers many interesting and quirky world-inside-a-world questlines. Very much enjoyed your storytelling, writing style (words used/ descriptions of the environment), the supporting ambient music, and taking it slow, focusing on the journey, not the end result.

Hearing Fable music over WoW gameplay is so soothing to my soul. It's a combination of my two favorite games of all time so thank you for experience

I played Vanilla WoW when it was still the only version of WoW, started playing right as Zul Gurub was dropping. You managed to capture the feeling of playing it for the very first time, and it brought back lots of nostalgia for me. Awesome video man!

It is very special to be in a world with others in it - even if you don't interact with them. I completely agree.

There will never be anything even closely coming to this. I am so grateful to have experienced Classic when Classic was Vanilla. I was 15 y/o with literally zero baggage. Blissful....

I find it very fitting that paladins and shamans, who are the faction-exclusive "spiritual leader" type characters, who fit in each and every party composition and excel at buffing them, both involve questlines that make them travel and thus see more members of their faction, and the world, than the other classes would. This questline also pushes the idea of paladins traveling around helping others, from very early levels. Since none of these places are such that they can do without getting helped themselves -- and most often it becomes an "I scratch your back, you mine" -kinda situation. (Also IMO this whole thing of "I can't do this alone, let's help eachother out?" is the very essence of what made classic wow so good, in addition to the world's atmosphere!) This video was very enjoyable, it reminded me of my first-ever wow character, a paladin, and how much I enjoyed this questline. I too think this is the best one. :) Subbed!

The resigned sigh, standing despite your numerous aches and taking up arms alongside some people you might not remember so well if it weren't for all the help you'd given each other, finding yourselves in unbelievable trouble after taking on a comparatively small goal leads you to places you couldn't have imagined-- Warcraft did such a great job giving many of us our own little Hobbit's journey. Also, I noticed that fable music in there. Thanks for the hard work, and welcome to the community♥

Just completed this quest on Classic. Used to play horde back in the day, but never played alliance. Decided the other week to start an alliance toon, and I have to say this has been one of the most enjoyable quests so far!

I played the game for 17 years, always played Horde. About 1,000 days played time only on retail, probably hundreds on private servers+classic; never saw an Assassin's Blade drop. That's sick

Excellent video. I really enjoy your storytelling style, and how you include the grounded player experience of things like traversing the world and what NPCs could be interacted with by your character but not Horde ones really added to the explanation of the questline. Great stuff, can't wait for more. Subscribed.

This was an amazing video. Also loved the nostalgic music, the Guild Wars music actually got me a bit emotional, many fond memories of that game... WoW and Guild Wars were both in that short golden era of MMORPG/Gaming. Wish I could relive them from fresh.
