The Path of the Duelist

Optional 1v1 Honorable Combat Leveling Route Added

Heroes!

Some among you live for the thrill of Honorable Combat. A blade at your hip, magic crackling through your veins, your adrenaline burns in a fair duel against a foe: one Hero against another, your skill versus your enemies; no tricks, no ganks, no ambushes or outside assistance--only steel, and a pair of warriors--one lives, the other dies.
Once, such a path was blocked to you--confined to a handful of regions in the world where the law of the land demanded Honorable Combat. 

Now, however, a new path opens:

To those of you who love Honorable Combat, to the Heroes who wish to prove themselves against powerful foes, to the adventurers who seek, at all times, the fair fight--a new road lays before you:

The Path of the Duelist is open. 

The Path of the Duelist is a brand new leveling route that grants Heroes a road to 60 that stays entirely within 1v1 Honorable Combat Zones. Using it, Heroes can level from 20 to 60 in High Risk while staying inside of Honorable Combat Zones. What that means is that Heroes who believe themselves competent duelists, who seek the challenge of engaging other adventurers on equal footing, and who dislike the underhanded techniques of multiple opponents in High Risk, now have a way to level in the way they prefer. By walking the Path of the Duelist High Risk Heroes who wish to can guarantee they’ll remain in 1v1 Combat Zones for the entirety of their leveling process--whether or not you thrive, however, remains tied firmly to your personal skill.

The Path of the Duelist is as follows: heroes seeking to walk it should stick to the following regions, which, when visited in High Risk, will appear as Honorable Combat Zones.

The Path of the Duelist:

• Ashenvale
• Desolace
• Feralas
• Winterspring
  • (Has always been 1v1)

Now, Heroes who wish to embark on a High Risk journey through exclusively 1v1 Zones can do so, meeting other duelists and putting their 1v1 skills to the test. When you slay a foe and claim their equipment, you’ll know you did so by overcoming your enemy with your own skill. Similarly, Rather than worrying about potential groups of Heroes running you down and taking your gear, you can now rely on Honorable Combat laws to ensure that you’re fighting one--and only one--hero at a time. 

The Path of the Duelist allows Heroes who wish to level in High Risk to travel a path entirely in 1v1 combat. Heroes who walk it will contend with other Duelists on their path to power, showing their skill in single combat, and making a legend of their adventure.

Good luck in your journey, Heroes.
