Hello everyone. Those of us a fan of Nixxiom on Youtube already know of this, but it sounds super fun (like a tweeked version of the Ironman challenge)

This challenge consists of two parts:
-Part 1 is you must find the one ring. That means that you need to go out, kill mobs, quest, or whatever in an attempt to find a ring. The first ring you find is "The One Ring" and must therefore be destroyed. You are not allowed to wear the one ring unless you are a gnome.

-Part 2 is you need to destroy the One Ring. In order to do so you need to travel to Blackrock Mountain, stand on the suspended island in the center, and delete the one ring from your inventory. After deleting the ring, you will do a /played on that character and screenshot your success. The fastest time wins.

►BASIC RULES

1. YOU CANNOT DIE. If you do die you lose and must delete your character and try again.
2. No mounts, no potions, no dungeons, no pets (Hunter and Mage) no professions, no buffs, no looms, no auction house, etc.
3. First Aid and Cooking is allowed. Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew!
4. You cannot change out of your starting clothing or equip new clothing (no shoulders, trinkets, etc). This rule does not apply if you play a warrior.
5. You can upgrade your weapon - only grey, white, and green weapons are allowed unless you are a Blood Elf.
