Level 60 in just 3 hours – that’s how it works
The player Monkeylool from the European server Al’akir secured the so-called World First for the release with his record time – so he was the first player in the world to secure the maximum level in Shadowlands.
That’s how he did it: Instead of questing through the various areas of the Shadowlands, Monkeylool has only completed the non-skippable introduction in the area “The Throat” and then played in the connecting area Bastion until he reached the dungeon “The necrotic lane«Has unlocked.
He then got together with two guild friends repeatedly signed up for the dungeon, because it can be completed in only 3 to 5 minutes, but it yields a lot of experience points every time.
Actually only players up to level 56 can register for the Necrotic Lane, which is why he and his teammates had to rely on a trick: If a group member is still below level 56, they can register the party for the dungeon – even if their comrades have reached the level limit have already exceeded.
Since there were several players waiting for level 51 in his guild, Monkeylool was able to join a new group could register non-stop for the worthwhile dungeon and was able to reach level 60 in record time.
