Back before Cataclysm, there was a quest chain in Ashenvale that had you finding medicine for a sick child. The final fight of that quest chain was pretty nerve-wracking. This was because, due to my immersion in the storyline, I had failed to notice that the quest was flagged red — as the mob I was after was five levels higher than me. Also, given my level of newbieness at the time (I didn’t learn what stats meant until I got invited to a dungeon in my late 30s), odds are good I’d equipped a few greys and other non-optimal gear. I survived, barely, thanks to my pet, but you’d better believe it took a while for my heart to slow down.

Second place goes to Dar’Khan in Deatholme. I don’t know if they’ve downgraded it since then, but when I did it, my hunter teamed up with a couple of warlocks and it was very much a case of ‘burn him down and loot before the adds kill you’.

I was *that* close to soloing the Deadmines on my free WoW account as a level-capped lv. 20 Dwarf Paladin. I keep thinking I should go try it again. That stupid last boss (not counting the optional Cookie fight), I almost had him.

Bringing back bad memories of those dailies out there – the drop rates were horrible on… you know, I can’t even remember, I had blocked them out because I hated them so much. The keys I think to open the chests? Ew, not my favorite dailies, they make golden lotus look like cake.

I was doing a similar thing yesterday – trying to solo Temple of the Jade Forest at level 86 on my brewmaster monk as a training exercise. I managed to get down Wise Mari – it wasn’t so hard just took forever! But the trash the other way beat me up soooo quickly.

But normally my yardstick with a class is doing Nagrand Arena. My DK did the best – did all but the last boss at level 68 (in cataclysm).
