Hello fellow level 1s!
Level one twinking was the thing that always makes me melancholic when I think about it. When someone tells me to think about good old times I think about my level one rogue... eh that was an awesome time. I miss it.

I want to hear Your story - how you got into level one twinking? What were your biggest achievements? Who you remember the most? Write a LOOOOOONG post - let's all remember that magical time :)

Post a lot of screenshots of old time (up to MoP) raids / solos / PvP :)

Got to level one twinking when me and my brother made one back in TBC, it was an Undead rogue named Giant. Biggest achievement on that was probs getting PvP trinket just from killing 50-70's infront of Ironforge( after they had dueled and had 1 hp) AND getting Ogri'la rep for the trinket but then horrible fail and get dinged :(
 
I got into level 1 twinking in TBC. I was lvling a druid and all of a sudden a level 1 warrior twink comes up and kills 3 lvl 16´s. After he killed me a couple of times i decided to make one of my own. And the biggest achievement for me was getting the mats for Agm, at that time was server was really big, and i didnt have any friends to help me out. So i had to be sneaky. The thing i remember the most was soloing taskmaster fizzule. Great time :)
I would like to add some pictures but i dont know how to do it :)

All my level one vids and SS's I made back in WotLK and begin Cata are on my old computer, which I no longer have :(:(:(:(:( I'll have a look if I can find some things on my new comp.
 
Hey sorry.... I've been mostly afk in game lately and just a casual viewer of TI during that time dealing with RL junk. I love reading the stories! Here's a copy and paste from a post I made awhile ago about my journey:

Let me take you back to the birthplace of it all. Saturday, March 25, 2006. That's right, my level 1 twinking days are as old as 1/2 the people in BGs these days. So sit back young'uns and hear the tale of how the legend started :)

It was Saturday night, our guild had been tearing through AQ40 for the past couple of months. Patch 1.10 was on the horizon and we were eagerly awaiting our upgraded Dungeon Sets (remember this was pre-every slot epic raiding days).

I was just finishing a 3 hour UBRS run and I got a message from a guildie named Okchet. He said, "Hey chubs, wanna make a level 1 and duel outside of Org?" Instantly I started thinking of how cool this could be and of ways I could buff my guy up and destroy him. So I created my first level 1. A Tauren Warrior named One. Okchet, his brother Schmeg, and a guildie named Moos summoned me to Org where I ran around and got all the buffs I thought were possible.

I thought I was smart and clever. I went outside the gates of Org and accepted his duel.

In 3 sec I was dead.

When I inspected him I instantly realized, "ENCHANTS!"

From there it was a couple of hours of going through Thottbot (if wowhead was around, no one was using it), searching, planning, taking notes....

We dueled again. I died again.

"CONSUMABLES!" I shouted out loud. Waking my wife up in the process.

It was then and there the light bulb went off. What if we make these guys so powerful, so geared that we could beat up higher levels. We'd make a name for ourselves. We'd heard rumors of some crazy guy and his friends in Europe doing something similar....

...and so, the fun, the memories, the gold sink, the bitching at Blizz nerfs, and the awesome journey of level 1 twinking began.
 
My biggest achievement is back in wotlk I dueled a level 25 warrior and won. He got so angry and he called me hacker lol.
Then he wanted to duel again, I won again, he was so furious and he said "I'm gonna delete this character" while sitting to log out... :D
 
I was on my main(level 80 rogue at the time) sitting in Stormwind, when I saw a guild recruitment message in trade. A guy named Yesreally was recruiting for his guild called Waste of Money. A level 1 twink guild. I had never heard of level one twinking before, and it sounded really cool to me. I threw him a whisper, and after he explained that level one twinking was more than a couple of heirlooms on the go, I created a level one. I must admit I named my character Twinkyatone simply because a quite known 60-70 twink on my server for a long time was called Twinkywarr, Twinkypala etc. I thought the nickname Twinky sounded cool, so I called my mage Twinkyatone. Human female mage, I got a couple of arena masters, and decided to roll a rogue since they seemed a lot stronger at the time(This was in July 2010). Waste of Money grew quite quickly due to the level 1 twinking scene being almost entirely new on the server, but when 4.0.3 got released, my guildmaster levelled to 10. He was a shaman, and he was a really good twink. If I am not mistaken his main was like level 55 at the time, but he was really good at making gold, so he had no problems. I levelled my mage with him, and since we levelled a little while before 4.0.3 came out(because of removal of heals), my mage has some grandfathered level 10 gear today. I had Boud as my level 1 twink now, and I made some friends in Waste of Money, the one I remember the most was Oowtf. He is in LevelOneOwnage as an officer today, 4 years later, as Embracex. A dwarf rogue named Sjukt became the "level 1 twink gm" while Yesreally went on to be the level 10 twink gm, and we became a 1-14 guild. When cata was released the guild pretty much died entirely and I decided to make LevelOneOwnage.

I forgot to mention this earlier, so I'll throw it in here. The moment I joined Waste of Money I started looking for level one twinking videos on youtube(I was a youtube fanatic at the time I guess), and I found Level One Twinks, UltimateLevelOne and CBAtoLevel. They were huge inspirations for me as I twinked, especially in the early years(2010-2011).

LevelOneOwnage didn't grow as fast as I had hoped. I even gave a twink called Diana co-gm just so he would sign my guild charter(this is not something I regretted later, his friend helped me with tabard of the explorer, and he was a nice asset to our guild). I think it was because the server was worn out, and pretty much everyone that were interested in such things had already played it for a little while and got tired of it. Either way I got the guild up and running, we were about 5 active for a very long time, 2010-2012 or so. I was always recruiting, trying to get events going, but it seemed like whenever I got a group of maybe 3-4 friends that wanted to twink together, they would get tired of it before I got anyone else in the guild, because no events were running. LevelOneOwnage has done a lot of events, but since I played on and off they were never "every week", just casually here and there. I played actively for a long time, but in the last year or two I've been on and off. I still read Twinkinfo posts several times a week if not every day.

I don't know what my favorite moment in twinking was, but I certainly had quite a few nice moments. I remember especially when I was in The Barrens in wotlk with Waste of Money, and we were ganking a level 30-something druid and a 42 shammy. We were 5 level one twinks, and even though we died up to several times before we got them down, it was good fun. I also remember in the early days of LevelOneOwnage(2011) when we were in Redridge clearing out all the new mobs that Cataclysm had brought.

I also made quite a few youtube videos on our channel called LevelOneOwnage, and even though some of them seem embarassing and most of them are bad, I think it was overall a good experience for me and the viewer. I personally think my Boud - Level 1 twink, 2k achievements points and the most recent gear video were the best videos I ever made.

Overall I think twinking has been a really good experience for me. As a player who jumped from guild to guild all the time until recently(December/Jan 2013/14 I made a guild with some friends), I never really got any longing ingame-friends, but I found a lot of those in twinking. I think the community is of such a small size that even if you're a bad or only decent twink, you'll be able to talk to the greatest twinks in the bracket through youtube or twinkinfo. Still talk to old twinks on facebook and skype if I stumble across them. It's quite nice.

When i first started doing a Level 1 twink on my old dead server, which is still dead xD Bronzebeard which im still playing at anyways, my first ever level 1 twink was named : Twinkguard a level 1 twink warrior which i created in the beginning of The Burning Crusade i diden't really start him out as a Level 1 twink .. he was a bank char at first so i could store my items, my gold and everything on .. and then after a little time i started to get even more cool items on it like Ruby Shades which i also bought to my friends since we wanted our Bank chars to look good while doing auctions on the auction house and just having fun running around and drink alot of alcohol drinks to make our chars dizzy. Then a time later in the beginning of the Wrath of the lich king just a regular day .. i logged into my Twinkguard "Which was still a bank char at the time" and all of a sudden i saw another level 1 twink rogue called Duoc and another called ihugpixelz and they also had level 1's i just thought they looked really nice, since they had much of the fancy stuff that i had on my Twinkguard and they saw me and they asked me : Are you a level 1 twink ?, and i diden't even knew what the word twink meant, so i asked them .. what's a twink ?. A twink which in this case is Level 1 .. a twink could be in any level at the time the most popular at my server which ive seen before .. level 19's level 70 twinks and then there was lvl 1 twinks they did duels and they told me that they were doing a big community for level 1 twinks on the server which stayed at level 1 and you killed all sorts of mobs that we could kill at the time and we would have healers at level 1 healing ous just like playing level 80 at the time back then.

When they told me about all that good gear and such, since i was just using fancy stuff like Tuxedo Jacket and Ruby shades and such things and that they were just growing in numbers of having a level 1 twink guild .. which were growing with members everyday .. i just coulden't resist when they asked me to join the guild called : Knights of Love the level 1 twink guild Aliance i gave my guild to a new char and joined the guild with Twinkguard .. started to follow their tips on what gear i should get. So after a while when ive started gearing up abit .. i did my very first raid as a level 1 twink, i was so exciting and i just coulden't wait .. no1 told ous what we were going to kill

everybody just followed the Guild Master of Knights of Love called Duoc ... and then we came to this mob ... : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtaAsBFBlwM as you can see in the video im very excited .. esp when i got this new Herl Bow which ive never used before on my warrior so .. i just though it was so cool back then that i just had to try it on mob that we were raiding .. and people were complaining that i was using the bow .. xD instead of doing what i actually should have done which is actually melee'ing the mob .. but it was the most greatest experience in my entire twinking days when we killed Mor'Ladim :)

But sadly just right after the expansion of Cata released .. all in the guild stopped playing so then it went really boring and sad ... so as dumb as i was .. yeah .. that char dosen't exist anymore since i deleted it too make room for more level 85's and such but just after a short amount of time when i got 2 chars to level 85 .. i stopped playing wow for a very long while ... and then came back made new level 1 twinks ... all the time .. cause i coulden't decide what i was going to make for a level 1 twink and then i quited alot of times .... later in the end of cata i started playing wow agian since there was a new expansion coming up and i really hoped it was going to be a good one .. so i created a random level 1 twink rogue called Henodus just so i could gear it up and duel some guys in Goldshire since Goldshire always was my favorite place to duel at ...

Then all of a sudden i see someone with the name : Joydén which also is a Level 1 twink .. and i got really excited to see another level 1 twink which was so long ago and i really thought there wasen't anymore Level 1 twinks playing at that time so i talked to him abit and he said, that his guild which he was that was called liféless which i thought was a pretty cool name .. so i asked him .. is that you're own guild ? .. Yes he said to me and he explained that it's a level 1 twink guild that he made at 2011 and i was like .... wow :D that's really cool so i asked him if i could join the guild and he said sure ... so after a while the guild started growing since i started to recruit members to it and the level 1 twinking at Bronzebeard really started to get up the activity agian which was so awesome .. but i was never fully happy with my level 1 twink ... it was always something i diden't like with it .. it could have been the name ... or the class .. or the race so i just keeped on doing new level 1 twinks all the time so after a while when level 1 twinks stopped to play agian at the server and that i coulden't decide was class i was going to be or whatever name i should have or race so i stopped playing "Agian" for a very long while ... But then when i checked youtube a while .. i saw this new Expansion coming up for World of Warcraft .. : Mists of Pandaria ... and i was like .. Pandas ... ? hahaha lol okay cool .. since my friends started playing when the expansion came out

so then i was like .. alright let's see how this expansion is going to be .. so i returned and i leveld my dk to level 90 called Wispknight and i went to goldshire too just get some Nostalgia for abit .. since i had all my good memories and experience here from the game so it was very Nostalgic for me to return to that place agian ... but then all of a sudden .. Joydén logged on and he was standing in Goldshire with such awesome transmog on his head and shoulders and i was like Joydén! nice to see you so i talked to him and asked him about how's it goin and what he's doing on his level 1 twink nowdays and such.. Anyways then after that i said to him that .. now i will make a level 1 twink ... and i will never ever delete this char i will keep this level 1 twink and start twinking with you, just like the old days .. for thoose that haven't seen him before .. this is him : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oynPCknTY48

and here i am now .. still logging into my level 1 twink still doing duels at few rare moments :) and now all of a sudden im in the biggest Level 1 twink Aliance guild ever made :) as far as from i know with over 100 level 1 twink members in liféless which im now Guild Master in now :) this was really many things i wrote and i guess this is soo much written that no1 would take their time to read it haha xD but this is the main reason why i started twinking at first :)
 
oh man, so many good stories. Ive been around Twinkinfo for a while. I see your names but no idea where you come from. Now I do (Clubtohd is probably the age of my dad!). Fun thread.

My level 1 twink... Maybe not as an epic tale as some. In a few words, I guess we could say that it started with Youtube and stumbling upon Roskmeg in early WotLK... The guy had and was doing everything. When I saw his videos it just blew my mind how a little level one could do so much to higher levels. I was never to fond of level 1 twinks (they seemed to me as a simple waste of gold).

I decided as a joke to make one. Made her the ugliest possible. A female dwarf rogue with a very very disturbing face. In return, I named it Uglytwink. I think from that date, my reputation as "the twink guy" on Velen-US began. This was in patch 3.xx, very early in WotLK (where rogues had stealth and eviscerate). I had no twink friends back then, so I had to do everything myself (From timbermaw rep, to sporegarr rep with 2 accounts, to multiboxing for my WSG tabard and farming the ethereum keys - which I never finished). It was a blast.

I think that my biggest/proudest achievement of all is being able to say that my Explore Northrend achievement was only earned once on my account. And it was done so by my level one, from walking (ON MY OWN) everywhere possible (I had to tip a gentle lady to fly me around Stormpeaks and that zone in Borean Thundra). Each zone would take me 45+ minutes to discover but with the power of no-daze at lvl 1 and insane dodge stacking, it made it somewhat less painful!

The thing I am least proud of is having scammed a GM into giving my level 1 a Marshalling Point and then leveling a few months later because I was too lazy to farm AGM again for a 19 rogue.

I guess level twinks is something all twinks need to do to be actually considered a real twink. Its a real struggle to play them and gear em up with pleasurable farms.

After like a whole expansion, I finally got the courage to make another level 1. I dont play him as often as it is a lvl 1 worgen rogue (and I dont want ppl to report me). But right now im chilling in IF with my new sock xmog :)
 
I play on zul'jin, I'm a big deal... people know me... I have a lot of twinks, that smell of rich mahogany. I've made a Level One guide a few years back.

Twinking is why I play WoW. Some pics.




Noteable achievement:


I started twinking shortly after BC, then made a level one after the XP eleminator was introduced. Made a warlock since everyone else was making rogues, glad I did after the great 'Nerf known as Cata' hit. I enjoy helping others twink as much as I like doing it myself. Every expac hits twinks with something new to adjust to and a lot of times if there is no warning we are SOL. I have rode the highs of 100% dodge and 100% avoidance (rogues and warrior) and the lows two abilities, no Hit and no proff bonuses (Cata+WOD) and I'm still here, still twinking.

Holt shit bro. I am Ihugpixelz - Bronzebeard EU... Although that twink is now gone =(

My story -

I started level one twinking when a friend of mine asked if I wanted to make a level one and duel in goldshire. I was like "Fuck it, why not". For some reason something about it just grabbed me from the very start. I had no enchants or gear other than the starting stuff yet it was simple and fun.

We did this for a couple days until I met a dude named, Duoc. He had the coolest gear and chants i'd ever seen on a lvl 1 and said he was starting a guild of level 1 twinks.

Pretty much straight away I called one of my irl friends and was like "Dude, motherfucking LEVEL ONE TWINKS!". He was like "Fuck yes." We had already made 19 twinks by this point so we were more than up for it.

I made Ihugpixelz although I went through several classes and names before I just decided to go with that one because I could not stand to look at the character creation screen any longer. I geared up as best I could but I was never very good at making gold back then and spent pretty much all my gold on gear for that thing.

My main goal was to be better than my friend and eventually better than Duoc. But every time I thought I was catching up he'd come back with something awesome like the turban from dalaran for example which I remember he wore.

Then one day he came back to me with a BoA sword. "Wtf is that thing" I asked. "New BoA's dude" he responded "Go farm one on your main man".

"Fuck that bro. I'm out." and I ran into the inn at goldshire and logged out for the day. I was pissed especially because my main was around level 60 at the time and I still to this day DESPISE leveling!

I logged on the next day to find that Duoc was lvl 2. "Dinged while exploring" he said. I assume he made another char but this was pretty much the tipping point for me and level one twinking as I focused on my level 19 twink from that point on.

My best memory has got to be going to durotar and picking fights with all the newbies that attempted to attack me I stayed there for a week at least, must have killed hundreds of clearly outgeared players but a lot of them came back for more several times over until they got sick of it and logged on their main haha

Overall I had a lot of fun but I suppose the excitement kind of it went to my lvl 19 and eventually I deleted my lvl 1 twink although this thread has made me want to make one again. Maybe...
 
Dude! if that is you we need to meet up man! :D that was so long ago :D :D
 
My battletag is Royanz#2390 in case you wanna meet up later :)
 
i was browsing youtube and found level one twinks videos of their awesome achievements made my own and yea.... eventually i found this website met chubs and squeakyjack and went with them to their guild and twinked for a bit then the guild died .... then we are pretty much here not very interesting because im not a very good at creative writing ect.... but i have met some really awesome people through the years! keep on keeping on :)!
 
In early TBC my older brother introduced me to level 19 twinking, I remember the endless farming of WC to get those god damned legs we needed, and the enchants were also very demanding.. I remember dinging the twink from level 18 to 19 because I was so eager and later being told that it was utterly retarded because we'd have less experience to work with when gearing. Once we had the twink, I started playing battlegrounds constantly with it, almost always topping the damage list.

I started use leg enchants with +40 stamina on every char I'd level up, enchants became vital at all levels, including level 1. I honestly have no recollection of exactly from where I got the idea to start level one twinking, but I remember me and my friend pimping our chars up and our goal was to kill a rare in Elvynn Forest. Eventually we killed some random mobs in Elvynn and I uploaded them to youtube (I could not find any of these videos sadly).

After having started lv 1 twinking in late TBC, it took a long while until I'd accomplish anything outside of casually PvPing in Goldshire. After being influenced by youtube, I decided to start my own guild where we would make raids and kill stuff. Eventually we managed to get enough people online at the same time to do an actual "event". We ventured into the dark depths of Redridge Mountain and defeated Bellygrub, it opened all kinds of doors. We shortly afterwards took down "Lake Tresher", it was a enormous feat to me, and the guild. My brother who I Twinked with earlier was very surprised that it was possible with only level 1 chars. Despite him being a way more succesful wow player than me.

We started organizing raids and events very frequently, often with goals not very plausible for the group, e.g. Stitches. Discoveries of buffs such as Spirit of Zandalar were very huge, because we were alliance we could not acquire the buff you get in the barrens. Always being jealous of hordes for their racial advantages and the stress of having things nerfed such as Leg Armor, Raid Conversion and most importantly the heals. Since we couldn't heal anymore, everything has felt less "epic", the raid feeling I used to have is not as strong. Raiding is still enjoyable, but kiting doesn't provide the same legitimacy and raid feeling that the original way did.


This may have turned into a "summarize your level one twinking" post, but I know all of you are super interested about everything about me since I am the most interesting person alive.

- Yours truly, Ultimateys.
