Fastest twink failure?

[Mechatwink]

So I'm new to this and from what I've gathered the only things that will ruin a twink are forgetting to turn XP off if you're taking advantage of that way to fast-queue or getting a mount and being forced to level to redeem it. I was wondering what the fastest you ruined a twink is? My current record is 1 hour and 43 minutes from the time I got him to level 11 and the time I looted the Swift White Hawkstrider.

Time to level to 17 and start again I guess.

That mount really isn't that rare. I've literally had at least 10 of them drop.

I did ruin a twink with the Deathcharger though. I've since had 2 more drop. But that twink was pretty new too (a few hours?) so I just levelled it and made another. It did ruin my naming scheme though. I guess I could've deleted it but decided to keep it.

Yeah I've seen tons of these drop but never for me. Finally got one where a group mate didn't need it and I rolled and won it. Been playing since BC and never gotten it. I was alright with it since I didn't realize the mechagnome transmog didn't let you mog their pants.

GRATS! @Mechatwink at least it's just an 11...

I'm a bit of an Autist about getting certain pieces of gear to proc epic, or at least rare ( in the case of green quest rewards )
Cannot begin to tell you how many I've deleted on the spot for not getting the upgrade I demand in Purple.

I've only lost one twink to a mount score : https://www.wowhead.com/item=44168/reins-of-the-time-lost-proto-drake
& thankfully, it was just kindov a tool-around 20 & not some dripping BG Raidboss.

Thanks! I was happy to lose him early and not some 100+ hour thing that was fully geared.

i started a fury 10 when the last turbulent timeways holiday rolled at COT annv event, bought the level 51 vendor gear was farming for 59 gear, got the rivendare 2h sword, started unlocking mechagon zone, on a run the infinite timereaver dropped. i went and turned on xp to level and learn the mount

two other 10s still have a rivendare's deathcharger in their banks. have not leveled either. mount imo no longer means much, i would never use it

How about this, Cletus? Got her in 1 hour and 5 minutes this time....

TIME TO START AGAIN.....AGAIN.

Yeah, the Infinite Timereaver would be harder to pass up on than the Hawkstrider (or the Deathcharger). Those you can learn on an F2P/Vet account too. Requiring level 27 for the Timereaver might mean having to buy game time.

I got relatively lucky with the Timereaver and got it in ~800 attempts but it's one of those mounts I was never stressed about because I was always going to get it just because of how many TW dungeons I run. I had nearly 400k TW badges at one point. Even now I will 5 man my own group so in a 4 boss TW dungeon, that's 20 attempts.

If you do happen to multibox your twinks in TW, it's good to remember that you can buy game time AFTER it drops to trade it away to your paid account if you have one and it was in the group. And given how many people level their own alts with twinks, that's reasonably likely to happen.

So a 1-2 hour twink? Sure, reroll. Who cares? But if my fully decked 11 Fury Warrior with the good Mechagon rings gets a drop requiring higher level to use that I want and my 70-80 toon was also present, I'm buying game time to trade it, not levelling the toon.
