Are any of you going to try and get Rank 14?!

My big brother was a grand marshal. Never saw much of him.

Rank 14 was all I wanted back then, and I had a reasonable amount of time to get there within 6 months. I have children now, So they'll be farming honor while I sleep.

like my real dad said to me once before he never came back "hey son i'm going to the store to get rank 14"

The first time I saw someone with the PvP epics I thought to myself as a kid: "Wow, this guy has cool gear." Now I'd think: "Wow, this guy probably has a poop bucket in his room. Still cool gear tho."

No, no i don't want to be R14 thanks

I got rank 14 in vanilla. If asked if I would do it again I would say definitely not. It just way too time consuming and the dedication you have to put into that grind is insane. You are not the same person afterwards. Just don't do it folks.

that moderation tip was added in BC after people died doing the vanilla grind.

"it just turns into an arms race on who can waste more of their life getting digital items in a 14 year old game" Challenge Accepted

thx for reminding me Boar Thrills existed.

What if all the old vanilla players all gathered up and conspired to tell the masses how hard is is to get rank14, just so that it would be easy-peasy for them because nobody will try to do it except themselves?

As someone who spent 6 months doing this for 14-16 hours a day, everyday, I'd consider what's of importance to you lol. That said, smashing squishies with a list full of pots and windfury buff on my R14 Arms Warrior after 6 months of grinding was the sweetest crescendo into nerdgasm. Are BGs going to be released immediately? If so, get a group going right away and grind out constantly. There are honor tracking mods you can use to stagger who gets what rank to make it most efficient, if you work together. Generally, if we were vs another group we would just immediately concede to not drag it out. It was kind of bullshit and I wasn't about it, but that's what the group I rolled with decided on, and it was the only way I was going to get R14. You can pretty much never stop BGing. How long you have to go depends on how much competition for the spot there is. When I got R14, I got it the same week 3 other people did. It can range anywhere from 4 months to a year. If you can get away with other people using your account without getting banned, do it lol. Be warned that this is an easy way to get banned, and can totally fuck up how much honor you're raking in. I never did this but I know a lot of guys did. You could probably solo your way to at least R13 if people take shifts on the account. Or you could just wait until AQ and some BWL and get better gear. Honestly, if you're after gear, just join a hardcore raid guild and wait till you get to endgame content. You can still pvp on the side. I was in a raid guild that was doing 4-6 hour raids while pvping for HWL, and I had to fuck over my guild and dodge raids for 3 weeks while we were at Nefarius. I was their main fury warrior, and generally top 3 on charts, as well as a dedicated offtank. Make sure you pick your priorities. Good guilds are like families with long lasting friends, and you all work together to overcome difficult issues. No better feeling than downing that boss you were stuck on with only 3 people left alive in your 40 man raid. Nothing will make you better at raiding than PVP, though. No WoW boss design compares to the reflexes you need and develop inside competing with other people, especially nowadays when people are much more competent at video games than in like 2005 or whenever I did it. When I raided, everything and everyone felt so slow because my alertness was super high. PvP is really fun, and spending a lot of time involved in it is very challenging and very stimulating. There's a lot of unique interactions you're bound to have and a lot of high level competition. Nerd boners galore. Still, as someone who chased the dream, consider if you're up to sacrificing a highly dedicated 5-6+ months of your life non-stop in order to get the gear. It felt fuckin great using it once I got it, but in terms of real life, I turned into much more of a ragey, angsty dungeon troll and completely dissociated from any other facets of my life. Vanilla wow was one of the heaviest drugs, and I probably only got off it because the game evolved into something I no longer enjoyed. It's important to remember that these things are temporary and really don't amount to much else in life that you can compound on top of. Take care and have fun :)

Why do this grind? "For the gear and admiration of your fellow neckbeards" lmao

I appreciate any and all JOJO references and I bless you for including the SDC music

"So you want to be Rank 14?" Yes but not when considering what I have to do to get it

You just know someone is gonna die irl playing classic.

I love that this video has the editing quality/style of videos from back in the day.

You absolute madman. You got those two guys from Fiver didn't you?

This video was hilarious and informative! sometimes you make golden videos and this is one of them! great work.

This video was great on all aspects. Funny, informative and very well edited. Props to you.

This man is a legend, one of the best content creators ever.

You only have to play 12 hours a day past rank 10/11. If you want to hit r14 you can casually rank up until 10 or so and then go hardcore after

This should be the prime example of a high quality video GJ

Sick dude, thats a well made video if i've ever seen one! Nice sense of humor, informative, interresting scenes to just keep watching. 10/10!

You bungled those percentages by a factor of 100.

Good shit bro.. I literally put everything aside when I watch your videos instead of just playing them in the background. Amazing work!

The amount of quality that comes out of this channel is absolutely insane. Seriously, REALLY good job.

Damn! The editing on this video is top notch! Must have worked for quite some time on this

The side shorts had me dying 😂😂😂! Well, done. Subbed!

Rank 12 is actually Boots, Legs, and GLOVES. It says on the names - "General's" or "Marshal's" Rank 13 is Helm, Shoulders, and CHEST. "Warlord's" or "Field Marshal's"

great video and nice editing and visuals hahaha :D pro man!

these videos are incredible and funny. Your editing skills are unmatched and you should have way more subscribers, subbed.

Dude, this is just beautiful. thea way you put out the info... This is how everything in life should be learned.

Such an awful system. Your health is more valuable than this.

I just want to reach Rank10. i would be happy with Champion Set.

This was really funny, u did good boi!

I don't always sub to WoW KZfaq channels, but when I do, it is Platinum WoW

8:59 - when you see the login queue

wow what an incredible video! the acting you made was really entertaining and thoughtfull . love this stuff!

amazing editing my man. one of the most underrated wow channels!

That but with asmongold was quite unexpected. And very funny

I get hyped for the new vids man. You’re my fav classic wow KZfaqr. Keep it up dude ❤️

Love your videos and laid back sense of humor I will do my best to get that mount but good luck to me XD

8:59 I lmao, well done with these videos man

Hey I'm Boar Thrills, and i'm gonna teach you how to survive lmao i legit lost it there

LOL THAT JOJO's REFERENCE xD! epiccc 1:30

Well done my dude, this is awesome!

I didn't expect these edits, nice vid. 😂👌💯🔥

I've amassed more joy (that deep stress relieving laugh... From the soul) from this video and more entertainment value than viewing the Mona Lisa. Ty sir. This was a masterpiece. Statistical data with inside and general humor, all in one convenient parcel. Bravo! Encore! /Throws roses

I actually got rank 14 in vanilla. I made a short video talking about the grind. Took me 5 months of 12 to 16 hour grinding. I wish my editing was as funny as yours. All your vids are fucking hilarious. The SM dungeon guide still my favorite of yours.

I’ve never seen your channel before but god I appreciate your style man. Old school wow machinima hasn’t been around for a while and its what made the culture so enthralling before. Plus your long form essay discussion style with quality ass skits and fiver gags. You’re the shit, forsure subbed.

Excelent video, man! Thanks!

Classic Grand Marshall here.... yeh, I played all summer with no job.. I must say, PVP BGs was probably the best experience back then. but the grind was insane

I don't think a youtuber has ever made me laugh this much.

Man, you truly have QUALITY videos, you deserve so many more viewers and subscribers. I'm spreading this to all my friends!

That little zapping scene with Asmon at 9:02 was very original 😂 laughed my ass of

Back in the day I knew the regular high warlord of my server personally - It was a married couple, sharing an account. Well, the husband was working the graveyard shift, so with their sleep cycles already out of sync they just no-life'd it for months on end. That hunter was queued for, or in, Arathi Basin nearly 24/7. (relationship goals btw) So for any of you who kinda want to get to rank 14; Remember the part about competing with players of your own faction for bracket spots? Players like case above is who you will be up against. You have been warned.

Fantastic video once again like you said in the stream the paid guys are a great addition. In no time you'll be a big enough channel to get big man tyrone.

Liked and subbed, this reminded me of old machinima videos. Awesome editing.

Great video! Subscribed :)

I'm pretty sure that Timbermaw Hold was the first faction that I ever became exalted with. And I literally started that process, and completed it, as soon as I ran in to them, while leveling my main. So, this might be the sort of waste of time that I could get in to! Or whatever BC's version of it is!

Lmao you have the best classic WoW videos on KZfaq sir. In my opinion.

Really good job on video , good job make more ; ill watch another

Your videos are so high quality and entertaining

Your videos are so awesome!!! Informative, great editing, and funny clips.

That television part was classic platinum. 10/10.

ur editing/animations/sequences pretty op

Seriously you have some of the best videos ive ever seen. Keep it up my dude!

Quality content as usual!

The end of this video summed up how I felt exactly

I LOVED THIS VIDEO. I dream of creating content and I must admit you have creativity I doubt I have. Awesome video!

Oh my god, your editing is so fking guuuuuud

I don’t want Rank 14 for the title. I want it for the two handed mace because I am a feral druid

Was this the most amazing video I have ever seen? Yes. Yes it was.

Great editing!

This is the one of the best explanation so far. Thanks!

You can hit rank 14 mid week before the reset now that honor is calculated instantly so make sure you have gold in the bag to buy all the weapons so you don't have to do it again.

I'd like a full episode about Boar Thrills... :)

Great content dude

how do you not have more subs? the amount of effort in your vids is amazing

I do, but I won’t be

I always thought the "Scout" rank fit my Hunter the most

This was funny af! Well done

YOOOO why's nobody talking about the quality of this video?! HILARIOUS! Genuinely laughing out loud here, the channel flicking made me howl Subbed, amazing work, ty :D And no I don't want R14 ever

Also with your "So you want to be" series you can have a pimp my ride intro.

This system was trash in vanilla, it will still be trash in classic.

Thoroughly entertaining. Nice work

Amazing edit dude.

I was 4th Grand Marshal on my server. It was awful. More like 16 hours a day, but you could afk during queues (alliance). I remember one day the servers went down for the whole day, was the only day during the entire grind I got some decent sleep. Hope they change it for classic.

I LOVE BG'S, i didnt like arena too much in BC and what not, classic pvp might be scuffed but no DK's no arenas im in for life

Thank you. Entertaining & informative. This is what I wonna do at end game. Mostly through BGs though. Think I'll spend my life in AV lol. I was a Wrath baby & never really got too into PVP so this is all brand new to me.

Man i would watch that kodo documentary

I went for r14 in vanilla and i must say it was some of the best times in any mmo even though it was a brutal grind. Many other games have forced me to mindless pve grind to be able to compete in pvp which is my passion. Bdo is the last game i quit that had great pvp mechanics but no way to progress through pvp. If i try classic again i would like to find a good raiding guild to experience the raids, but i would definitely pvp a lot. Go to r11 casual and go for r14 if there is enough time to put in. R14 grind did make people crazy back in the day. One of the founders of my guild kicked me out because he was going r14 at the same time and did not believe two can make it the same week. He was even account sharing when i was not. Fortunately when the word got out about this i was helped by all the good pvprs of the server and i had the whole week instawin bg parties waiting no matter what time i played. I did beat the villain but as i excpected he also got r14 same week. Whole guild disbanded after that.

Dude.. You should be the WoWgod, Nice video editing skills+

This was a time saver for me thanks. Now that my dreams are crushed I can go on with my life XD

Awesome video matey

BOAR THRILLS- Hey, I wanted to watch that...

Problem with R14 is that the gear is kinda worse than late AQ40 / Naxx even for the melee. As an Ele shaman with R11 and full AQ40 set I saw no point in going further, gear was pretty bad compared to what I had already. Not that I even needed the R11 mount, just wanted the title for the looks. Also, titles get removed from your list as soon as you de-rank so that's a point to consider as well. It's not like in current WoW, when you can boast your High Warlord for all eternity. Sure, you can get to R14 faster than most of the guilds clear BWL, yet you'll get outgeared at some point by raiders. And it's not really possible to raid and pvp on the same toon unless you can literally play 24x7. Hope they rework the PvP rewards a bit.

Amazing video filled with nostalgia. Loved the Asmongold tabard and his head hitting.

I was a rank 14 player back in Vanilla and it was indeed a experience. I did have some fun in it though, as I was a night elf warrior and while I was moving to rank 14 there was a Tauren warrior who was doing the same. We always made a rule that when we encountered each other in a battleground that we do a salute while in combat in respect. We both also got rank 14 at the same time and congratulated each other. The bad part was while I had to mostly keep up around 40-60k honor every week to help get myself on up to grand marshal, he was having to make 120-160k honor to get high warlord.
