Did another run today, now on LB for a bit reduced pop. Still some people around, but not that many.
Got the run down to 2:30 with some things I learned from the first run, like skipping all echo island quests except the tiger hide one. Made a lot of dumb mistakes towards the end, that surely cost me at least about 15 minutes, these harpies in the canyon on the 2nd quest of the goblin are stacked, easy to add and die. Not setting HS to Razor Hill didnt help too.
On the other hand: warlock is very powerful once your Imp is up and you can do the "aggro triangle". Might still do more runs in durotar to get better movement and less hickups, then I will move to the 10-20 bracket.
Had a chance to sit down at my computer for a bit before work and everything should be updated now. I'll be classifying repack and Lightbringer run times in the same category for now. Tomorrow I'm off and I'll add a new set of leaderboards for Lightbringer runs and I'll try to consolidate some speedrunning information that has been discussed in this thread into the resources section.
My goal for now is a sub 1:50 Horde Hunter run and then to try some Ally Mage running. Best of luck to all!

Hey guys. I've started speedrunning somewhat recently, and I'm really planning on optimizing my route on a NE Hunter, and would appreciate some help along the way.
Started practicing more recently and noticed I had a 1-10 run that was a little faster than the other hunters posted here (Northdale) so figured I'd post - alot of room for improvement still.
Dankmandan that hairstyle is atrocious but nice time, will get you added soon. :lol: Is it possible to upload a better quality screenshot? I can’t make out the seconds values. Or you could just tell me and I’ll take your word.
Just did my first try from 1-10.
2 hours, 26 mins, 27 seconds.
Could have done it a bit faster though (died 3 times unintetionally)
Also had like 1k exp into my next level already :D

Also a suggesion to JPY, is it possible u can add a "video" in your scoreboard, would be awesome if people started posting videos too, i will personally record my next run. That way we all can learn a few things :p
(this run was on northdale)
Was just a straight printscreen so not sure if im gonna get any better haha, was 2h 16m 49seconds exactly. Im gonna keep playing it through until 20 and see what kinda time I can get there with as little rested exp gathered as possible, so i'll update as I go.
Dankmandan it might just be my phone.
Tactics nice run, will get you added soon. And yes, I plan to try to consolidate a good bit of information into the first post when I get time (should be soon, actually) but for now if you browse the previous posts here there are videos of runs on the leaderboard and runs from others.
E: Updated leaderboards.

I had a similar time when I tried it. Yeah, there is almost always room for improvement. But good job. :)

Check your inbox. :)
Jpy I believe you put me up in the leaderboard as a rogue instead of Tatics, I didn't post anything yet though
bogo Tactics Fixed that, sorry!
1hour 48m 31s
Really comfortable run, lots of luck with early bags and trash. Glad I toughed it out and stayed up tonight.
Will upload video soon.
E: also the fix for rested mentioned earlier doesn’t seem to work for me. It’s worth noting my mangos config folder had those variables but with no values (the “ = 1” was not there for all 3 lines, I added “ = 0” to each line).

Those three lines should be there 2 times. Once without values, and again with values. The lines without values are also commented out in my file (with a # before the line). Just ctrl+f for "rest." and there should be 6 total matches. Thats how it was in my case at least and haven't tested it yet, so no guarantee here:)
When I decided on class and race I will also start practicing more, just did some orc warrior/rogue runs to barrens, but not very impressing runs. Has been over a decade since i last did those quests;P

Soshir I see, must’ve overlooked the second set. Thanks!
E: run from last night:

Updated OP.
Double checked all times and made sure all runs were placed in the proper leaderboards.
Added spoiler tags to each individual leaderboard to reduce clutter. (It was getting a bit overwhelming with all the activity lately..)
Added Lightbringer leaderboard.
Added the discussion about disabling rested on repack into resources.
Added a video section. (I only used runs from people that posted their own videos here.)
First attempt on the LH repack: 1:59:57
Four deaths. Two collecting Shimmerweed. Two in Gol'bolar Valley. All avoidable.
This is one of the most interesting threads! Good work Jpy and all the people submitting your runs!
Timberfist Nice time, will get you added soon.
