World First Level 80 Death Knight Speaks Out
So Dessembrae (Giskler) is the first Death Knight to go public with his feat of hitting 80 first. Is it possible that someone else did it first? Absolutely, but there is no denying the greatness of his accomplishment. Until we see other wise, I’m gonna dub Dessembrae (Giskler) as our world first! (Makes sense to me that if someone else was gunning for the feat, and I’m sure there was plenty, we would have already heard from them.)
I took the time to get some words from Dessembrae (Giskler) on how this came to be:
DKinfo: So, how much sleep have you got the past couple days?
Dessembrae: I have slept 7 hours since Wednesday.DKinfo: Where you in beta? Was being the world first DK a goal or something that just happened?
Dessembrae: I was in the beta and I leveled a DK to 80 there. Being first to 80 wasn’t really a goal, I wanted to get the leveling out of the way fast and I just seemed to be on a roll.
DKinfo: What was your route to 80? Did you Quest, grind, instance? You can just give a brief summary.
Dessembrae: I had a lot of stuff farmed before the expansion launched (quest items that aren’t bop etc) so after the starter zone I went around and handed in quests in Blasted Lands, Lights Hope and cloth donations in every city.
I entered Outland at 60 and ran through Hellfire, Zangarmarsh, Terokkar and half of Nagrand and went to Borean Tundra when I got to 68. In Northrend I did Borean Tundra, Howling Fjord, Grizzly Hills, Zul’Drak, Sholazar Basin, Dragonblight and Storm Peaks last.
I did every single quest I came across in every zone and ended with Storm Peaks at 91/100. I did only one instance run in The Nexus.
DKinfo: Did you have help along the way? Was it a special powerleveling session?
Dessembrae: I had help with some of the more difficult group quests like Ring of Blood and Amphitheatre of Anguish. I had planned a powerleveling session for months in order to get the leveling done with so it wouldn’t conflict with my studies.
DKinfo: Will your new DK be your main or do you plan to go back to another character now?
Dessembrae: The DK will be my main, I have no plans of going back to my old characters as I love the DK class.DKinfo: What are your goals now? Professions, Achievements, End Game?
Dessembrae: First of all I’ll be maxing out my professions and then start doing raids with my guild. The long term plan is to go back and do all the old content for achievements.DKinfo: Most importantly how long have you been visiting DK.info?
Dessembrae: I’ve been visiting the site for several months (just reading until now).
DKinfo: Anything You would like to add? Give thanks? Say hi?
Dessembrae: I’d like to give thanks to everyone who helped me out when I needed it during the leveling craze, you know who you are.
So there you have it, our first level 80 Death Knight. Dessembrae is on a EU server, so of course it would only be fair to be on the look out for the first US level 80…

Another question, “Do you have a life?”
good 1 lol, i couldnt do that at all, must be very commited.
I have a level 61 Blood Elf DK on Burning Steppes (Saltorius) Level 61, mainly been doing instance to level, most fun way, get gear, wepons and exp
A guildy got the same question actualy uoshadgo when he was around 78 on his DK
Im taking it slow, my DK is 61 but im mainly leveling my druid now shes coming up to 73 now so.
The good thing with a DK, and particularly unholy spec is that you can powerlevel really fast since you can pull loads of mobs and basicly end the fight with full health. So theres no downtime and great dps combined with extremely high survivability.
[...] 70 wurden wohl auch durch nicht seelengebunde Questitems nachgeholfen - so wurde es zumindest im Interview im DeathKnight Blog erklärt. Gesamte Spielzeit war hier wohl 2 Tage, 10 Stunden und 40 Minuten, wie lange ich bis [...]
Bladnebla,
Why are you taking your frustrations out on the forum? We didn’t kill your computer. I was in the market for a new computer when WOTLK came out. I tried to install it on my existing computer and the program said that my computer did not meet the minimum requirements to run the game. So I did what I already knew I needed to do. Get a new comp or upgrade. That should fix your problem. Don’t take it out on the forum…
Dessembrae, Congratulations! I can’t immagine how fast you had to be leveling. My Dwarf hunter is only 72, and I just got there last night (11-16-08). And I thought I was working hard. You totally schooled me!
Unholy is for puds, BLOOD IS FTW!
Congratz! It took dedication which is a great attribute to have. Me? I’m still trying to figure out if I want to level me paladin or warlock, lol. Both are fun, so I’m having a hard time deciding. I may give DK a try.
Guys, he’s slept 7 hours in 4 days.
It’s just crazy
