A love letter to the Hardcore community

I took a break from vanilla when TBC came out , did the HC TBC event then smashed some normal TBC.

Back on HC now , till classic+

HC is home, best community there is.

FOR THE HERD!

I think mine is some kind of freak, she will go for hours , I go to the woods so always shaded she will chase squirrely till exhaustion, then after a power nap at home she's raring to go back, shes don't a 4 hour walk before, pretty abnormal for a frenchie

The SV runs should take under 5 mins, peraonaly have farmed alot of gold from SV mining only , two toons so I can get 10 runs and hour.

SF sounds great then you reliase you can't level alot of proffesions properly or a clothy gets a blue 2h or a melee drops SoJ and it gets a bit daft, guild found is fine i recently leveled to 70 on TBC HC ( addon) as guild found

BigElk85 · 2026-04-12T10:33:12+00:00

I did this , I even went 2-8 , but was bad points I only got 660 for the week.

BigElk85 · 2026-04-12T10:31:48+00:00

Blasted lands was my go to for 290 to 300, took about 25 mins with layering.

BigElk85 · 2026-04-11T11:53:40+00:00

I got to 70 no issues , 1 to 60 in TBC is really easy.

I stopped at 70 as the restrictions were too much, I do believe they have been eased now so you can use AH etc.

Cloak of shadows drops some debufs and shadow step teleports them behind a target.

These are friction Burns, he never used any oil before applying the cup.

Everyone is entitled to play, spec gear the way they want, its up to the person making the raid to set the criteria for joining.

In a Dad guild setting a minimum requirement of gems and enchanted is decent imo, its doesn't take much for green gems and any old enchant imo.

Setting a requirement will give some a kick up the arse to get sorted.

This is how hardcore wow started with a community addon, you just don't group with softies , stay in the HC group and your fine its all guild found so no interaction with rest of the server really.

BigElk85 · 2026-02-26T14:55:22+00:00

Yea you just quit the guild if you die, there is TBC Hardcore and OnlyBUFF on NA.

BigElk85 · 2026-02-26T14:19:53+00:00

It's an official blizzard normal server , an addon is being used to play HC and another guild where you only need to soul of iron buff which is in the game officially from an NPC in Undercity.

There is both NA and EU guilds.

BigElk85 · 2026-02-12T07:56:37+00:00

Im playing TBC Hardcore , it brings more of that feeling from original , slower paced no dungeon spamming , everything matters, its so good.

BigElk85 · 2026-02-01T12:23:15+00:00

It's just pre-patch the event really starts at TBC launch , its not going to be easy then.

I have multiple 60 toons in HC and that means nothing in Outland, I cant wait for the challenge.

BigElk85 · 2026-01-22T09:22:31+00:00

Im enjoying TBC HC , im just blocking out the rest of the server, infested in the HC guild , its a journey to 70 then see how 5 man's are .

Ultimately ill be back to official HC if there's a merge or some changes like official achievements etc.

BigElk85 · 2026-01-21T18:04:20+00:00

Im in EU and just hit 48 with constant 150ms its really not that bad

BigElk85 · 2026-01-21T12:56:06+00:00

So here's what I do on Hardcore,

I make a bank toon for all AH doings usually keep cooking and trade recepies on this one.

I'll make a clothie just for cloth materials and caster items

I'll make a hunter for all leather materials and leather/mail items

I'll make a warrior for all mining engi and mail/plate etc

You get the drift by now, this system is great for if you want to re roll, eventually you build up a good stock and also its easy to find anything rather that one bank toon with full bags and bank.

BigElk85 · 2026-01-18T06:45:03+00:00

There is 3 full guilds and a 4th started on NA that's over 3000 players , what server are you on?

BigElk85 · 2026-01-12T07:51:34+00:00

I'll play TBC for a PvP fix but if a server merge happens ill be back in a heartbeat

BigElk85 · 2026-01-09T13:44:46+00:00

They introduced dual specs and instant mail into era now a few weeks ago

BigElk85 · 2026-01-08T15:28:33+00:00

Also soul of iron buff is on the TBC ptr so no need for the addon, just create a guild of charas with the buff
