Can you say... Fist Weapons? Last I checked they used the same skill now

Why doesn't this say Knuckle Sammich?

I leveled mine to 350 out of boredom, now it'll actually pay off! Not an easy task to get to 400 though.

Find something that you can't kill and won't move like Gordok Spirits and afk (myself I watched a movie on another screen).

Commento di Aleom

another good place to level your unarmed (or any weapon skill for that matter) are the Infernal spawns outside your respective settlement in Shadowmoon Valley. The groups of three guards pick up and (generally) hold the threat from the Infernals, and you can just go in bare-fisted and grind away. They spawn so fast and there's always one around that the most downtime you have is the 4 second run to the nearest Infernal. And since I *believe* the levels are based on number of swings and NOT damage done, you can do this at any time.

Commento di Qmccumber

Or you can try the corrupted shaman mobs in Shadowmoon as well. As long as you don't break their totems so that their shield goes down,they won't attack you.

Commento di 121748

tsk tsk, just strip naked, equip torch of retribution and attack rats in deeprun tram!

Commento di Anthara

Edit: Gordok Spirits no longer work as of 3.1

Gordok Spirits are great for safely skilling up any weapons, if you can get to the king's room in Dire Maul North.

They will not attack you.
They will not become immune to attacks.
They will not die.
They will keep you in combat, preventing log-outs if you go AFK.
There are no (wandering) enemies in agro range, once you get to them.
There's no risk of random world PvP coming your way.
They still give skill-ups as of 3.0.8, unlike banished mobs.

Basically, they're training dummies that grant skill-ups.

Does haste affect unarmed?

Commento di Lutillian

One can also get a warlock to banish a demon repeatedly and whack at it for awhile.

Commento di 117034

Or do like me and some of my friends did, if it still works, and duel a much higher level toon. AFK for a while and come back to maxed weapon skill...

P.S. The first time, I forgot to remove my Molten Armor and almost killed the little rogue I meant to help.

Commento di 130349

Gutrot shouldn't have a problem with this one.

Commento di rakkynon

You can easily raise it if you're going to MH, just have your tank attack that ? dragon outside of the cave and voila.!

Commento di amberdevir

Or just use a Torch of Retribution and a rat in the tram. Easy 400.

Commento di jubs916

just beat on one of those invincible dude in Dark portal areas south of stormwind for a while, that should get ya pretty high till, you can level of him anymore, probably over 300

Commento di Gingerelle

*lol* this is great. I level this anyway, because it's better than having your skill at like 2 when you're disarmed. My friends and I have done fisticuff duels just for fun, very amusing XD.

Commento di 227458

The best way to level any weapon skill is to attack the guys in Shadowmoon Valley that are bound by the totems. The best one to work on is the one by the altar of shadows. There are two air elementals that will pop near him from time to time, but easily killed off then it's back to wailing on an immune target. It works great

Commento di 174290

kill the mobs at the entrance of Shadow Labyrinth, they don´t attack and u get your skill.

Commento di shadow1515

I don't think the dummies work. I left my character beating on one in Orgrimmar for an hour and he was still at 312 when I came back. However, he skilled up another 25 times just by beating on a level 30 mob in Scarlet Monastery.

Is this Bugged?
Cause I been grinding mobs non stop for the last few hours, yet it wont move.

What type of mobs give weapon skill?

Do librams effect your weapon skill if they equipped?

Commento di 248625

Grimtotem Shaman's in Feralas proved to be the best place for me. I just picked up some gray weapons from low level zones, and headed out to 68, 46 in Feralas. Low chance of getting ganked, and these mobs heal themselves, with enough hp that at higher weapon levels you dont ever actually kill them. With lifeblood, I was able to stay in combat for almost 45 minutes straight as a clothie mage. Also, there is a shaman by himself on the far east end of the camp that you can pull all by himself and just afk it. cheers!

p.s.- i just left my gear on becuase gold wasnt a really an issue and it gives lots of intel. Pick some up before you head out there and grind it off, beacue intel really really helps the grind.

Commento di Pherias

Iceskin Sentries south of Ymirheim in Icecrown. Stoneform Gargoyles that are immune to attack.

Commento di 99640

The banished demon Azaloth on the second highest tier of the Ruins of Karabor just outside Black Temple is a great spot. Almost nobody is going to need the quest nowadays, and since the mobs are level 70... at 80, they won't attack you for being in their proximity. Wail on the demon all you want and the skill keeps going up. He is immune to attacks. (Especially easy access with a Blessed Medallion of Karabor)

Remember, to break out of combat quickly... just kill the channelers (Sunfury Warlocks) keeping him banished and take out the big lug himself. He has 27945 health. - Enjoy

Commento di 53307

Iceskin Sentry
are great for leveling weapon skill in WOTLK.

-just press the attack then go afk, you wont get any aggro there
-3mins from Dalaran (see the map on the link)

edit: add the link

Commento di Yeronimo

For easy level up in Stormpeak Northrend.

Little west of the K3 flightpoint at 38,86 you find Dim Flathoof. Lure a Gnoll towards him. Dim then shooshes the Gnoll away. After that you will still be in combat with the gnoll, but he wont hit back. You will still skill up.

398 and 399 took about 1 and 3 minutes. Last point 23. But that might have to do with the fact that I was level 80 and the Gnoll 77.

Commento di 226137

I don't think I have ever gotten angrier with Blizzard than I have trying to level this skill and get the Achievement. It has been well over 400 hits without the last point from 399 to 400. Don't know if it's bugged or if the last skill point needs to be from a mob close to my level but I was killing Boulderfist Ogres in Nagrand for way too long. I'm level 80. This defeats the purpose of the achievement system when they are such a time sink as this. Dire Maul worked for me. Do not grind this out the normal way. Find a shortcut. Goes for this also https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/achievement=705

Commento di chaosking202

Azaloth is the best mob at this point to level your weapon skill. He will stay banished unless the Sunfury Warlocks are killed.

Commento di Indref

If you are an achievement crazed nutter like me, you are probably doing all the lowbie level quests, for various reasons.

While doing these quests, it doesn't matter if you have an epic equipped or if you are going barefisted, the effect is the same; you one shot most everything.

As such, get out there and quest and explore, and make sure you are bare handed the whole time.

You will hit 400 before you run out of quests.

Commento di 266010

as of dec 10th : it is still confirmed that the gives the skill ups. now i THINK that blizzard might fix this, they uselly like to make it impossible, but all in all - id say the sooner you get the acievement the better :D

Commento di 410

I have been hitting on the Primordial Drake Eggs in Sholazar Basin. While I have not hit 400 yet seems to be easy leveling armed/unarmed skills there.

Commento di karti

rogues, shamen, hunter and warriors:
its easier to level with first weapons than unarmed because unarmed speed is 2 where fist weapons (recommendation: mainhand and offhand ) go down to 1.3 speed and you can dual wield them..

Commento di ccbutch

Don't forget to wear haste gear, it helps alot with that horrible 399-400 time sink.

Commento di 239741

If you are going to skill on a banished Enemy mentioned further down, do NOT FORGET to equip as much haste rating as you can, as it will GREATLY decrease the time it takes to skill up.

Commento di Marinara

Which would be better to stack for this achievement, haste or int?

Commento di Jerenn

I farmed the Grove Walkers just outside of Dalaran. They have 12k HP, way more than most mobs around, hit like total pansies, and they heal themselves. As a shaman I just dropped healing stream and every couple minutes throw a heal. This is the best mob I've found to use for this. By the way, 399-400 does take a really long time, but I got there eventually on the same Grove Walker that levelled me to 399.

Commento di 267115

Got this yesterday, just felt like putting up a bit of advice.
If you're a class with healing spells like a shammy or a druid, then the easy thing to do if you've hit 80 is just find a random mob about 8 levels below you, pot a HOT on you, and punch away. Just thought i'd put in the 8 or so levels below thing because it takes about 10 minutes to get 397 to 400, just good to kill something that might be slightly worth looting.

Commento di 135156

There are three good options for autoattack and walk away. All the mobs are invunerable, don't hit back, and are easy to skill up on.

#1 - Gordok Spirit in Dire Maul
#2 - Rothin the Decaying in Dragonblight
#3 - Azaloth in Shadowmoon Valley

#1 Was a pain to get to in an area that I don't ever visit any more. If you want complete desertion, this is where you can go, but it's distance away from everything and the fact you have to navigate through an instance make it the least desirable of the three.

#2 Rothin is the best located to your day to day activities in Northrend. So great to pop over while you are waiting on other things going on. The only downside is you have to navigate through a cave, and since this is an active quest for a bunch of folks, you will get cross faction and quest hunters disturbing you. Not the best option if you are looking to auto attack and go AFK.

#3 Azaloth is my personal favorite for skilling. You can fly directly to him, it's reasonably close to Shattrath so porting in and out is painless. Fly over to him, drop directly down on him (you won't aggro his warlock keepers at 80), and go to town. Remember to unequip your armor before you start pounding on him, as dropping aggro is somewhat of a pain (run a good distance away or log). Also SMV is pretty deserted nowadays, so you're unlikely to run into any other players.

I've spent the past 4 hours trying to level my unarmed from 399 to 400 and I'm ready to just give up. I've been killing anything and everything.

Commento di 65968

If you can heal yourself, I found the Reanimated Crusaders outside Crusader's Pinnacle are good. They can do a pretty decent amount of damage to you, but if you can heal yourself, they'll heal themselves as well.

The damage wasn't that high... I healed myself through it with Rune Tap as a Blood DK.

Commento di cladovan

I leveled up with Rothin the Decaying who is immune to all atacks and he doesnt atack u ..

eazy skill level up !

Good luck !

Commento di PilsnerDk

It took me 28 minutes to go from 399 to 400 Unarmed skill, at 1.85 speed, with 183 intellect, and hitting a lvl 60 elite (I'm lvl 80).

Commento di 218119

Primordial Drake Eggs in Sholzar Basin seem to be better for me, as they are situated in Northrend.
The ones near the road are not even close to any of the Drakes, and have a nice 5500-ish health.

Commento di 282807

just completed this achievement, was in zul farrak and got a wild hair to finish it.

went unarmed, and with fel armor, killed nearby mobs and went fisticuffs on my choosen biotch. I killed the first one.. and found another. they don't hit very hard, and my fel armor kept me at full health. after this i decided to finish out wands, staves, and daggers for the achivement master of arms.

took about 30 mins of pounding at 399 but finally hit 400 in unarmed.
wands took considerably less time used it exclusively on the mobs running up the stairs, but then end of the battle, i hit 400.
daggers took somewhere in between. using a junk dagger i picked up -- grey item does like 20 damage.

staves i was at 399 for a while to begin with so couldn't really tell.

remember to move or jump everyone once in a while to avoid the AFK.

Easily the best place to get this achievement is in Wintergrasp. Kite an elemental near a graveyard until you get the Spiritual Immunity buff.
This is the ultimate afk spot because absolutely nothing can kill you.
If you are a pet class (Hunter, Warlock, Mage with permanent Water Elemental, and Unholy DKs), you can send your pet in to aggro one of the elementals then pull them back up onto the platform where the Spirit Healer is.
Here's a few spots (thanks convulse for the coords for the Alliance spot)
Horde: 20.85, 35.16
Alliance or Horde*: 68.7, 30.3
* This spot depends on who is controlling WG at that time.

Tested and verified working in 3.3.5. Here's a pic

~~PLUS you can get honor if your side gets Wintergrasp.~~ As of patch 3.2.0. you now get ported out of WG if you aren't selected to be in the battle once it starts.

Commento di 259033

Commento di MIMP

Another option for those that don't want to dedicate a ton of time to this and only pursue it casually at 80 is the mobs inside of Violet Hold. If you live in Dalaran like most of us you can hop in, punch a few things while you chat with friends and guildies; you never have to leave "home".

Also, for squishy classes the NPCs in there will tank stuff for you, if you can handle their damage output you can run toward the middle of the room and fight them slowly without too much interference from the friendly NPCs. If you get overwhelmed you can always run to the NPCs for help.

Commento di 216119

Confirming that you still (the 4th of January 2009) can train your weaponskills on Gordok Spirits.
This will be useful for following achivements:

It's a great idea to get the Crescent Key yourself for the following achivement:

The Keymaster

You get the Crescent Key in Dire Maul East and it's required to enter Dire Maul North. Read about how to get this key in Phazz' guide.

Commento di Boristus

A good place for Horde to work on this one is on one of the boats that you bomb in https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=11170

The North Fleet Reservists do not fight back, are fairly accessible for any Horde members with a flying mount, and are level 69.

Downsides are that they only have 7400 health, and don't heal themselves, so you will have to switch out or drop combat every so often.

The reservists are friendly to Alliance Players.

Commento di 22039

Isn't the training dummies in cities good enough? Or does that take extremely long because they're level one?

Commento di Robgar

so does anyone know exactly how many ounches it takes between 399-400?
also, does it make a diff if you have a shield equipped as long as you dont use any of the offensive attacks?

Commento di 301559

Yea, Azaloth in Shadowmoon Valley is definately the place to level any weapons. Does not attack back and still able to skill up. Jan 10th 2009. As a level 80 I just flew in, landed in front of him, and never drew aggro, so easy and worry free. No special weapons or trinkets to equip.

Commento di KiwiRed

I finished this on my priest earlier, simply by meleeing mobs (unarmed) while working through starting-zone quests for Loremaster; it probably took a little longer than doing it with high-level mobs would have, but I got quests done, so for me it was a good system, and a better use of my time.

Commento di seraph1337

I've been wailing on Ambassador Hellmaw in reg Shadow Labyrinth at 399 unarmed since 12:26 on my feral druid. It is now 1:44. I still am not at 400. I'm swinging at 1.9 speed. This is getting a little ridiculous. =/ Will update when it rolls over to 400.

Update: I had to finish up some dailies so I set it off, but I'm going to leave myself autoattacking when I head for bed. Can't imagine I won't level within 7 hours. Just letting people know, this could take a while, so find something else to do if you do not have any way to speed up your melee.

Commento di Tassadaru

As of today, 24.01.2009, 01:50 AM, I am leveling my weapon skills in Dire Maul, on the Gordok Spirit. It still works in 3.0.8, hasn't been patched yet.

Get it while it's HOT!

Commento di 199035

I don't know if this is true or not, but I seem to level up weapon skills much faster on mobs at, or above my level. I once went into a 25-man vault with all my gear broke, including my two weapons (Fury Warrior, stupid I know, but no one noticed.) Anyway, I didn't really care much at the time since it was a pug, and no one else seemed to care anyway since they hadn't noticed.

I leveled my unarmed skill from 200 to 396 in that one fight with Archavon.

Commento di 284796

Hitting Azaloth no longer works.

Commento di 304398

If you've got enough mitigation, the Grove Walkers below Dalaran are pretty handy for levelling unarmed. They don't do much damage, won't move, but will heal themselves, so are pretty hard to kill if you're not using a weapon.

On my prot warrior I just used my Medallion of Heroism and Enraged Regeneration to keep myself from dying and Shield Block and Demoralizing Shout to reduce incoming damage.

Commento di 204981

Hellmaw no longer awards skill it seems. been swinging away at him with a 1h mace for 5 mins now and im still on 1/400 skill.

Commento di ardezar

Patch 3.0.8 severely reduced the amount of time required to level up weapon skill.

Getting to 399/400 is a joke. The last point which would take an eternity before only took around 5 minutes, and I'm being generous.

I did this at Sunwell Isle at the Dead Scar. There are undead mobs that have around 6k health and that hit for very low damage. You can go semi-afk while you do this. Remember to check back every once in a while to top off your health. Enjoy!

Commento di Wintermetal

Very easy for a Warlock, just make sure you have fel armor up then find an elemental and whack at it keeping up banish every 30 seconds. I would presume this works with all weapons.

Commento di 14782

As of February 7th, I can confirm that the Gordok Spirits in Dire Maul STILL give skill ups.

More importantly, I can also confirm that intellect DOES still appear to affect weapon skill ups. In my feral gear it is taking about 10 swings of my 2h mace to get a skill up. In my casting gear it is 3-5. I have switched back and forth using Shadowmeld to get out of combat and it is consistent each time.

edit: If you're using white weapons to skill up, make sure you bring ones that have more than 18 durability. My white dagger started with 18/18 and was 0/18 before I got to 400 (somewhere around 360, I wasn't paying attention).

Commento di 319540

Go to the IF dummies if your 80 use a fist weapon in your offhand then attack the raid dummy might take an hr go on wowhead for that time hehe!

I used Proto-Drake Eggs to level it. They spawn something once you kill them, but of ally the easy things I've tried, these are the easiest that are still working.

Commento di Dolondro

If you're a paladin and you want minimum travel time and to just level this up when you have time, just drop down from Dalaran and attack the Grovewalkers.

Shove up Seal of Light occasionally and you're laughing. They do very little damage (on plate at least), heal themselves and are *very* convieniently placed.

Skill ups plus possible greens plus leather, and with 14k hitpoints you get tons of hits onto them before they die.

Didnt really take that long, levelled up staves, one handed maces and daggers (maces and daggers from drops off the yetis).

Edit: I spent maybe 2 hours total? Didnt seem like it took hours.

Commento di 318001

its also very good for this achievment to use a off hand fistweapon than you will get 2 strikes instead of just 1 :)

Commento di DrMrsTheMonarch

I've found two great ways to level your skill:

1) If you are in a lvl 80 dungeon or a heroic, your unarmed goes up considerably when fighting bosses without a weapon. While I wouldn't recommend this, I found it out unintentionally in Heroic Naxx when we were fighting Meathook without realizing my weapons were red beforehand. -_- My unarmed went from about 150-200 up to 350 that battle alone.

2) If you are level 80 (and I assume you are if you are bored enough to try for this achievement) go to Crystalsong. The Grove Walkers there are great. They are neutral so you don't have to worry about aggroeing others, they don't hit hard at all and they also heal themselves so you pretty much have an endless punching bag. I usually limited myself to a certain HP that if I got down to it I would vanish, or sprint away till I lost aggro. They are exceptionally slow and super easy to lose. Use your own class' methods to lose aggro and escape. Then just HP up, and go back and dps the same mob again and again till you are 400 skill.

Be careful though, if a large neutral Ancient Watcher walks past you while you are hitting a grove walker, he will attack. Those guys are level 80+.

Happy achievement hunting!

Commento di ddejaege

I just went from 10 unarmed skill to 400 in about 25 minutes on my Warlock. Not only did I finish the achievement in 25 minutes, it only took me 2 mobs to do so.

The best way I found to do this was off a mob in Crystalsong Forest named Dispirited Ent. I am specced Affliction and am well geared. I unequipped my weapon, used Siphon Life to keep myself up, and went to town. When the mob gets under 50% or so life, it throws a hot up on itself which heals for a decent amount. Since the most damage you're doing as a warlock, even at 375+ unarmed, is 5-10, it takes an eternity for the mob to run out of mana. If it starts to get too low, don't Siphon Life as much. The first tree took me from 10-395 skill. The second from 395-400 skill.

Commento di 276971

The place to do this is at Archmage Allistarj - Assuming you're not on the quest to kill him, you cant.
Me being level 80, i just ran in there, unequipped Death's Bite, and hit him up nicely.
He will drop to 1hp, and not go ANY further down, but he hits back.
So if you use Allistarj you cant afk it completely, but just stick around, watch a movie,.
At the time of typing, i just hit 400 whilst afk.

Commento di 309391

I'm using the guys at Tyr's Hand in Eastern Plague Lands, they're level 60 Elites (6500HP) that hit for 67 DMG Max on Plate and heal themselves... levelled from 275 - 399 in 1hour there plus they drop 25s each....
399-400 Is taking ages though!
This place is good for DKs to level up their unarmed skill as its close to Ebon Hold

Commento di 256772

As a fury warrior, since I get actual weapon skill level ups while questing (and have all 3 of 2H axes/maces/swords available to get the 4 skill achievement, including unarmed), getting my unarmed skill up is a concern of mine. While I was lower level, I didn't bother to try and concentrate on my unarmed skill, but still had around 150-200 or so, just from being disarmed by enemies. Fighting Omen got me to the mid-to-late-200s since my gear completely broke during that fight.

Once I hit high levels, I started to think about getting my unarmed up, but knew that I'd too easily kill low level creatures. Instead, a good way I've found to get several things accomplished simultaneously, is to have fist weapons equipped while doing low-level dungeons. I can carry lower-level guildmates through, I can get the achievement if its a dungeon I haven't yet done, and I can get unarmed skill-ups all together. And any loot gotten is purely for vendor/AH/low-level alts.

I would also like to recommend Proto-Drake Egg for unarmed skill. Clothies like me do little damage since we dont have that much strength and hit the eggs fairly lightly which means you can go AFK for 15 mins.

Need 1 person helping you:

1. Go to Wintergrasp, unequip all breakable items + damage trinkets, get killed by a mob.

2. You res at the graveyard, with the Spiritual Immunity from the Dwarven Spirit Guide, you will be immune to all damage.

3. Have your friend pull Chilled Earth Elemental, and take over his aggro. (Be sure to keep fighting on the graveyard spot as to not lose the immunity buff)

4. Skill up your unarmed, until you have killed the mob.

5. Repeat. (Took 2 hours to go from 357-400)

Commento di 347185

Uhh, for the alliance, there is a mob in IF, Cenarion Emissary Jademoon, near the Flight Master of IF. You can turn on your reputation with Cenarion Circle to "War" and take off your weapons and pop this girl for a while. She gives lvl ups as of 4/8/09. If you are worried about your reputation, before the Emissary dies, you can run and get out of combat for her to reset. As a mage, at 5% I drop aggro with Invisibility! Have fun!

Commento di Wildhorn

This is such an unfair achievement for casters and druids.

And as 3.1, I can tell that training on banished mobs doesnt work anymore. 368/400 staves skill, trained on Ambassador Hellmaw for over 10 minutes without a single skill point.

Also, Gordok Spirit doesnt work anymore too.

Look like Blizzard want us to do it the hard way.

A good way I found in 3.1 to level unarmed is to go to the Argent Tournament area and attack valiants that other people are fighting. There's no risk of getting attacked and they're high level so it goes relatively fast.

Commento di 106410

By far the easiest way to level any kind of weapon skill is to enter Violet Hold normal alone, and attack the mobs in there. If you are in danger, heal, bandage, run out of the instance, let the guards handle the mobs. If you are carefull you can pull only one fo the summoned four. One of those mobs hits around 200 on plate (20k armor), which isn't very high, I think even cloth wearers might give this method a try.

Just completed this achievement on v3.1.1.9835 and OMG it took a long time! I estimate I spent about 2 and a half to three hours beating things to get this. Good luck and persevere!

--edit--
Just to say I tried hitting all sorts of things, elites, primordial eggs but nothing made much difference.

Commento di 295513

in 3.1, still working on it, Blood dk, using rune tap to stay up and going afk for about fifteen, then rune tapping again, doing the grove walkers in crystalsong forest. 350-399 approx 1 hr, 399 to 400- still going, been hours. Does it really have to be this time consuming blizz? its apointless achievemnet for anyone not using fist weapons. It should be an easy fun achievement like most of the other ones in game. Its not like u get anything for it, its not part of a meta... except maybe master of arms it could be considered...either way, 399-400 is like taking a screwdriver to your brain if you try to just sit there and watch. and for all the clothies going for this, that aren't self healing warlocks, i'm sorry...

Commento di 273706

Easy for paladins.

In a cave in Blasted Lands (66.7, 29.3) is a level 58 elite named Archmage Allistarj. He wont die unless you are on the quest to kill him. He will remain at 1 HP. He hits back, but if you are a paladin, just use Seal of Light and you will heal yourself with each melee hit for more than he deals. You only have to check in on your progress every half hour to reapply your seal.

This was so easy. 250-400 took about 30 minutes. 399-400 was 15 minutes which was 4 clefthoofs in Nagrand. Having intellect really does help, 687 intellect (14.7k mana) is what I had without my shield and main hand. Looks like some of the people commenting here put in a lot more time.

Get as much intellect gear/buffs as you can...lower melee stats if you can. Go out and pick your favorite Outlands mob. I missed beating clefthoofs so they had to die. Drop your Windfury totem and Healing Stream totem and watch some youtube. Refresh totems every 5 minutes and in less than an hour you'll be done.

I'm working on Master of Arms now. Axe and maces are done. Unarmed skill counts towards this achievement....on to Staves!

Commento di 408671

Nice easy way to get this is:

1) Go searing gorge and do the quests (From Kalaran Windblade 39,39) for this item: https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=3454
2) Go to K3 in Storm Peaks. Just outside K3 is a crash site you will find these mobs: https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/npc=29404
3) Pull one, and make sure you hit it unarmed - YOU MUST DEAL DAMAGE.
4) Near by there is a friendly NPC walking around the crash site named Dim Flathoof - https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/npc=29642
5) Pull the mob to him, Dim will fear the mob, and after the fear expires, the mob will be bugged. You can still hit it, but it will not hit you.
6) Equip your Torch of Retribution and start attacking. It will say "Immune" when you hit the mob, but it will still count towards your unarmed skill. Sit back and enjoy.

Commento di 335902

I leveled mine to 400 attacking Grol the Destroyer in Blasted Lands. He doesn't die and does little damage if you're 80 so if you can heal yourself you will do fine. It's inside a little hut so no one can see.

Commento di Powdercake

Please correct me if I'm wrong:

Currently, the only way to level unarmed weapon skill while AFK is to obtain the Torch of Retribution. To get the Torch of Retribution you must complete a short quest chain in Searing Gorge.

All of these quests start and end with Kalaran Windblade (39,38). The earliest level that the chain can be completed at is level 40. However, the quests are geared towards players around level 48.

1. The Flawless Flame
2. Forging the Shaft
3. The Flame's Casing
4. The Torch of Retribution
5. The Torch of Retribution

1. The Flawless Flame

Collect Heart of Flame (4) and Golem Oil (4). These drop off of golems and elementals around The Cauldron area. Magma Elementals drop both quest items so you may want to exclusively kill those.

2. Forging the Shaft

Collect Thorium Plated Dagger (8). These items drop off of all the Dark Iron NPCs in and around The Cauldron as well as the Slave Workers.

3. The Flame's Casing

Obtain a Symbol of Ragnaros (1). This item has roughly at 5% drop rate off of all the Twilight's Hammer NPCs which can be found at the Twilight's Hammer Camp in the northwest.

4. The Torch of Retribution

Simply wait for Kalaran Windblade to finish creating the Torch.

5. The Torch of Retribution

Pick up the Torch of Retribution. It is floating in the pillar of green light in front of Kalaran Windblade.

Time to level up the skill!

You can now equip this item and attack a critter that fights back (a Sewer Frog in Dalaran for example) and go AFK while you level up your unarmed weapon skill and defense skill. Make sure you take off your gear because you will suffer durability losses from fighting.

Commento di Maxlock

Wintergrasp is amazing for this achievement. as a lock i Hellfire my way to death and when i res i send my void to one of those elementals around, and once the mob is on the graveyard i start hitting him and then i go watch a movie or something, as i am immune to any damage while i'm still in the graveyard.

just remember to take off your gear that has durability as it's gonna take a long time to level and as long as you're in combat you will lose durability

Commento di 430546

As a prot paladin, I was able to AFK-tank the Fel Reaver Sentry. He has over 850k HP, and only hits for around 550. Put up all your buffs, seal of light and Alt-tab to do something else. Took me around an hour to go from 399-400.

Commento di Msbehavin

Ambassador Hellmaw in Shadow Labs no longer gives weapon skills, however, the mobs outside the instance do. Just make sure to tag one if its wailing on the Lower City Operatives inside the instance portal to bring them out to you.

They do hit back, but the operatives will help you kill them.

Kite Varedis to Shat, make sure he's immune when he gets there- Announce in trade he's there- over the course of two hours (Approximately the time it takes to get into an instance now-a-days) You can level your weapon skills up, not have to worry about dropping (Healers will heal because its funny) about holding aggro (Most of the time Tanks test their skills on holding him) or DPS meter (He can't be hit.)

Make Varedis your punching bag today- for the low-low price of Blizzard sucking.

Commento di Spoonzilla

At level 80, one of the easiest places to get this is in Halaa (If your faction doesn't control it). The guards won't really do much damage to you at level 80, and they have quite a bit of health so you can attack them for a long time xD If you need to heal, you can just run across the bridge so you're out of combat =P

Commento di 123096

You can use this Torch of Retribution and hit on lvl 1 mob and stand there for half an hour or so.

This only works with unarmed skill points

Commento di Aim04

And just to verify, the Proto Drake Eggs in Howling Fjord still gives skills.

Commento di 363678

I would like to mention another place to get this: Violet Hold.

Enter VH solo and don't start the encounter, just attack the mobs that are fighting the VH defender NPCs. There's a constant supply of them, so you'll have plenty to attack. Self-healing classes should have no problem staying alive, and for those who can't self-heal, it's not too hard to get out of combat so you can back off and eat/drink. Just stop attacking and let the defender NPCs get aggro. If you get in a pinch, well, the exit is right behind you so you can duck out.

I did 1h swords from 390 to 400 in about 10-15 minutes, and unarmed from 390 to 400 in about an hour.

The only downside is that it does require more active participation on your part, because the mobs do die, whether from you or from the defender NPCs, so you have to keep acquiring new targets. But it seems like the old "engage and walk away for an hour or two" methods have all been "fixed" by now. The advantage is an uninterrupted endless supply of mobs, and a quick exit in case of emergency.

Commento di djlinks

Grove Walkers are pretty great for this achievement so long as you can heal yourself periodically.

Commento di Slavco

Ahoy hoy fellow Achievement addicts!

So since blizzard cracked down on the whole Rothin The Decaying scam, i needed to figure out a good enemy to wail on to level up this skill and my weapon skills. I seem to have found a pretty good one for anyone who can stay alive as long as they are only attacking one thing at a time. The Cultist Corrupter's at Sindragosa's Fall in Icecrown are very handy as they throw up a Bone Shield that absorbs damage when you hit. I fought one for 10 minutes before he died. Another perk is that they don't "Run away in fear" so you can slam them till they are down. As a prot pally all i did was throw on seal of light, blessing of sanctuary, and refresh Sacred Shield every 60 seconds and i was in buisness. Good luck!

**UPDATE** i got er! Took me 45 minutes to get from 399-400 using the technique I mentioned Above.

Cenarion Emmisary Blackhoof in Orgimar is good for this. Went at war with Cenarion Circle and pulled him around the tower and went to town. No world pvp, no looking for other mobs.

Would just like to point out for those looking to level their weapon skills and attempting achievements, with the stealth nerf on the mobs in blasted lands and Dire Maul, try these mobs instead:

Horrified Drakkari Shaman (lv 73) https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/npc=26583

These trolls come in waves at the bottom of Drak'Tharon Keep and can keep you occupied with a steady stream of mobs to whack on. Also, they hit pretty low at roughly 130-190dmg per swing.

Hope that helps :)

As many of the earlier hints seems to no longer work I'll post something that will rather easily take you at least up to ~360 skill without much hassle, the Dying Soldiers in Icecrown (as horde, there probably is some equivalent for the alliance). You can't really go afk on all of them as there are other mobs in the area, but still just took me from 1 to 365 in about ten minutes or so.

Commento di MagusMaximus

Thought I would add something I did as a frost mage, hope this helps someone:

Grab yourself a Glyph of Evocation and head down right below Dalaran in the Crystalsong Forest.

Any mob will do but I used Unbound Seer. Throw up Ice Barrier, and beginning your hitting. By the time your ice barrier is gone, you should be able to use it again. If you take any extra damage, or the mob your attacking is about to die, simply Polymorph the mob (this regens all their health), and use evocation (with the glyph, you will regen 60% of your health).

When you're done, simply engage the mob once more and repeat!

Or as a Mage use every 30 odd seconds or if it breaks. Bandage every once in a while and you'll never die. I personally used and when they got low on hitpoints i just and they went back to full hp. They also hit only 250-300 so lasts quite a long time.

Wow..first post here..a lil more to the fire

Like some other people,i did just out of boredom and because i was rep grinding with gnomeregan exiles (ughh),and i said to myself...why dont i do this ach?...well,i have a few insides on this matter

*Beign a 80, i went rep. grinding in Dun Morogh,doing all the low lvl quests with an unarmed skill of 125.

*One quest needs (sorry,dont remember the quest) you to kill some trolls,in the trolls camp,theres a cave..with lots of trolls..i just disarmed myself and begun the hunt...it took me 4 or 5 hits to kill one troll (clothie...no strenght on limbs)..so by the time i got out of the cave,and killing roughly 30-40 trolls went from 125 to 380 unarmed skill...in about half an hour.

*Once u reach 395 skill points,the hits u need to land are more for the points to go up,so instead of going one point up per hit,u need to land 6..and in 397 u need to land 15....398 are 25..399 is 50...and the last point is roughly 100 hits before the point. Take this in consideration when u do the ach,because most of the replies i saw are from people that go afk and watch a movie or something..i did this moving around,and the time i took for the 125-400 skill points was about 2 and half hours..the last point took me 30 minutes or so.

So u see...its not a hard quest,u just need to move around and kill low level mobs (mobs i killed were lvl 9-10)..and the last point does take a lot of time to go up...but if u move and kill,it shouldnt be that to much of time...one friend spent 5 hours trying to get the point left with the iron dwarves in storm peaks

Just a lil something that i throw in here...could be wrong about the number of hits,but its a fact that after skill point 395,u need to land more hits for the points to go up.

as a side note.....great job by everybody here,this page is a lifesaver to everybody playing WOW!.

As a prot paladin, I did this in hellfire right by the outland portal. using Devotion Aura, Seal of Light, Blessing of Sanctuary, I pulled fel soldiers out 1 by 1. they have 90k HP so they dont die very quick, and whatever damage they deal is taken care of by Seal of Light.

The only downside is that they have a small knockback. Just make sure to position yourself so they dont knock you over the edge of the world. backing into a wall or cliff is a good option.

MOST STUPID ACHIEVEMENT IN GAME . The time needed to get 399 to 400 is ridiculous

Commento di rhagz

Easy way to get the unarmed achievement (Did Somebody Order a Knuckle Sandwich?) for an Arcane Mage is to go to Violet Hold. Not sure if it affects these mobs but just in case make sure it's on normal difficulty.

Go down the stairs into a corner and wait for one of the dogs, Azure Mage Slayer, to run by. Grab it and pull it to the corner. You can't really AFK this way, but going from 1-400 unarmed took me around 20 minutes. My method was just to keep Mana Shield up and Spellsteal the haste buff (Arcane Empowerment) every time he cast it. It gives 50% melee haste, lasts 10 seconds and is recast every 20 seconds.. so about half the time you will be hasted 50% for around 25% total effective haste. If you have decent haste gear already you should be around 75% haste during this period, making your attacks really fast.

Use Mana Sapphire, and when your last charge is gone use a Presence of Mind to instantly recast a new one (does not work just to refresh charges). If you are a Blood Elf use Arcane Torrent every chance possible and lastly, when you are at 50% mana or below wait for the last second of the haste buff and before it fades start casting Evocation. The buff gives 50% casting haste as well, so my Evocations were casting in under 4 seconds.

Between all these mana regaining abilities you should be able to fight one dog for easily 10 minutes or more.. and if really careful you may be able to fight the same single dog for the entire trip from 1 to 400.

Commento di 554189

As a mage I was in swamp of sorrows and thought it would be cool to punch a crocodile to death. It took awhile but when I was done I was already at 300 so I decided to just finish the achievement. If you decide to do this I recommended you go to SoS and fight the Tangled Horrors. They don't do much damage to you at 80, and once you get them down to about 50% health they cast a Rejuvenation spell and get back to full health. As long as you check back every 15-20 minutes to heal (as a cloth wearer at least) it's super easy and you don't have to sit at the computer. Good Luck.

Commento di 565093

Protection Paladin, I went to the Pustulent Horrors in Icrecrown. Back up against a wall so they don't throw you and just wail away. They're elites with 67k hp, but they don't hit very hard.

I actually leveled up every weapon skill to 400 this way. When you get to about 375, you can just put up Seal of Light and afk and you won't die. Unarmed didn't start hitting semi-reliably until about 380.

Commento di canviskiller

Best place i have found to level ALL weapon skills is "The fleshworks" in icecrown pull a risen soldier off to the side and start whacking away, on my 20k armor warrior they hit for 50's and by the time they get me to half health my enraged regen is already off cooldown.

took me around 35min 1-399.

there is also a crap load of risen soldiers there and they have a very fast respawn so you will never run out!

also guys remember to buy loads of +int gear as it seemed to really help me level weapon skill very fast compared to no int in the 350-400 range.

Commento di 26549

If you're looking for a mob that you can skill up on I'd suggest Grark Lorkrub (only works for Alliance I think, though). He's a level 56 elite in Burning Steppes inside the Blackrock Stronghold. When he gets to about 25% hp he automatically resets his health but your toon will continue auto-attacking him.

It has been stated that the Weapon Skill statistic will be removed in the upcoming Cataclysm expansion pack. Here is a quote posted by Eyonix, a Blizzard Poster on 03/01/2010.

Weapon Skill - This stat will be removed from the game completely. Classes will start with all the weapon skills they need to know and will not need to improve them.

Feel free to read the rest of the thread here.

That does mean that this achievement will be removed though in Cataclysm, as with the Master of Arms achievement.
Edit: Removed unrelated stuff.

Commento di Jehosaphat

For caster classes (or any really) I found an easy way to do this.

Head to Searing Gorge if you have not yet completed the quests line from Kalaran Windblade. You will get to a quest called Set Them Ablaze! in which you are given a torch to burn down 4 watchtowers. This torch is actually an equipable two handed weapon. For whatever reason when you melee a mob it counts as unarmed (prob because not every class have some 2H skill but all have unarmed) and the Dark Iron Steamsmiths in the area are immune to its effects (cause its fire damage maybe?).

I fired up Ice Barrier and autoattacked until I got to 400 easy. Last 10 points were a drag. LIke everyone above stated, 399-400 took impossibly long... maybe 20 minutes?

Commento di ClasscMalcontent

Heads up: The final skill point in Unarmed from 399-400 can take upwards of 45 minutes if you're unlucky. This can happen with many of the Unarmed Skill 'farming' methods. So, for the very last unarmed skill point from 399-400 you may want a mob level 72+ to potentially make that very last point not last long. It's still RNG but the last point seems weighted towards 'mob that is not gray to you' being a higher chance. Best of luck with the final point RNG!

For 0-399 the method below will go the distance. And you may 'win' the RNG 'lotto' and get that final point faster than most.

Fastest method I have used so far that should help in WotLK classic.

Get the Torch of Retribution that starts with Velarok Windblade in the Searing Gorge with the quest The Flawless Flame.

Use it to quickly level Unarmed Skill by swinging away harmlessly at critters. Among the best: Penguins. Many do not move! Find an iceberg. Swing away.

Specifically try the coordinates below in the Borean Tundra or anywhere else you see a penguin standing stationary on an iceberg in Northrend. You can use any critters anywhere but most move around.

The penguin method is the best method. Enjoy!

/way Borean Tundra 58.65 82.15 Tundra Penguins

Note: No penguins real, virtual or otherwise were harmed in the creation or usage of this tip. Swing away Merrill.

P.S. Any household task you may have can be done while only occasionally moving a bit to prevent AFK logout.

Well, so I just found out, that you can semi-afk it on the entrance to Gnomeregan. There is a phasing between the snowy fields of Dun Morogh and the entrance to the elevator. In that doorway are 2 lepragnomes - which only appear when you walk inside the Gnomeregan-Caveentrance. You can aggro one of them and backstep onto the snow - you will be able to hit it, but it won't attack you. This works for about 40 hits then the game phases you back to Dun Morogh, fronstep and repeat. Did my 1-400 in about 35 mins that way.

One day before Cata Classic Prepatch, and when the achievement disappears.
As a Prot/Fury Warrior, I had been working on this while leveling/questing in Fury spec, so I don't have a time frame there. After I hit 80, I entered LBRS with a shield and a white level Dalaran Fist Weapon with 1.80 speed to get from 375 to 395 Unarmed skill (easy). Sent the cloth and greens over to my alt to process.
I hit the Grove Walkers underneath Dalaran from 395-399. Took about 30-40 minutes.
Went to Crusader's Pinnacle after to hit the Reanimated Crusaders (and made sure to unequip my shield as well). Roughly 10 minutes.
