Congratulations to Pacipanster on becoming our 10th Dragonflight Pacifist Challenge Champion! This is Ster’s ninth max level Champion and very first Panda Pacifist – ever!! Pacipanster’s journey took 16 days, 4 hrs, 30 min, 53 sec, with a total /played of 2 days, 21 hours. 

When asked about Pacipanster’s leveling journey, Ster said, “Outlaw rogue was the easiest to utilize while re-learning how to level a Panda. You might be asking, hey wait, Pandas and Worgens can’t be Pacifists, because the starting zone ‘Exile’s Reach’ requires kills to exit, right?  That was then, this is now. Players can now issue a command to exit the tutorial area (Exile’s Reach) while they are still Level 1. In the case of Pacipanster, she was delivered to the gates of Stormwind to begin her Pacifist journey. Here are the steps:

• Create a new level 1 Panda or Worgen Pacifist, and select Exile’s Reach. Log into your new toon, you are on a boat.
• Open the chat window and type /run C_Tutorial.AbandonTutorialArea()
• Accept the starting quest, and you will be transported to Stormwind or Orgrimmar.   
• Open the chat again, and type /reload to restore your UI.
• Open up Game Menu, Options, Interface, disable tutorials.
• Go to the Inn, set it as your home to receive a hearthstone.
• Worgen only: you are auto-equipped with a green shirt. Never remove it.
• Lastly, abandon any starter quests you were given. Tada!

The tutorial Blizz provides is great for new players, but tedious for experienced Worgen and Panda players. Now you can skip Exile’s Reach, which is one big tutorial for new players, and now chase a Worgen or Panda Pacifist like everyone else. BTW – the above instructions work for non-pacifists too. You can create a Worgen, Panda, or Goblin and skip the Exile’s Reach and level up starting at level 1.

Don’t forget to follow the forum post that is titled ‘Paci-safe quests in Dragonflight‘ – must reading if you’re going to chase a pacifist. Also, loot the chests that spawn daily in BfA, which continue to provide decent XP. And – look over the zones in Shadowlands daily – some of those quests that say ‘Bonus Experience’ – while not all are doable by a challenger, the ones you can do pay full XP – all the way up to level 70.”

What’s next for Ster? ”Still have a mage and warlock waiting in the wings…”

Congratulations once again Ster on Pacipanster becoming our 10th Pacifist Challenge Champion of Dragonflight, and best of luck with your Challenge adventures.
