Paeus the Peacekeeper

Draenei -- Paladin -- Dark Iron This blog will chronicle my attempt to run a pacifist toon in WoW. I'll be giving helpful tips for others along the way, like locations for peaceful quests and good zones to level in. I'll also be posting screencaps of particularly beautiful locations, observations about the world, and exploration highlights. There might even be an in-character story or two.

Another day, another level.  I found some easy no-kill quests at Amberstill Ranch, good for a quick 1400exp.  I thought I found two more at Gol'Bolar Quarry, but unless you can stealth it's probably not worth the time.  You have to go into the mine, and I died maybe 6 or 7 times collecting all the relevant quest items.  Still, it pushed me up to lvl 8, and that's something!

(Plus I'm easily bored and enjoyed the challenge)

I discovered to my delight that Chill Breeze Valley is CHOCK FULL of herbalism and mining nodes, exploration exp, and virtually no aggro mobs!  I didn’t notice gathering nodes in other starting areas, but maybe I just missed them.  I might have to go back and check, now.  Anyway, this will make lvls 5-10 much less painful.

(I also got a couple of quests in the area - one delivery, and one to gather items from an enemy camp that didn't require killing)

Day 2!  I picked up some basic robes for a more monk-like look.  I found out to my chagrin that Pallies don't get healing until after level 10, which will make my life a little harder, but so it goes.

I found several delivery-type quests in Stormwind that helped with the EXP gain.  It's hard to explore and gather when virtually everything can kill you and mobs' aggro range is HUGE.

Pacifist WoW Toon - Day 1. His name is Paeus, he’s a Paladin on the Dark Iron server (for the extra thrill of being hunted down by other players while weaponless), and he’s seen here with his little buddy, Timmy, the Onyxian whelpling.

(I have a perky pug named Damian Wayne so, there’s a theme here…)
