Ratherbrute sent this to us (he saw it in a signature on the forums), and I love his description of it. It's a profile of a level one twink, and Ratherbrute calls it "an existential WoW exercise." Basically someone out there, either in this profile or in the game (this character doesn't show up on the Armory, but the only character with this name shows that characters under level 10 aren't profiled on Blizzard's database), has pimped out a level one character.It's definitely a fascinating idea, though. What's here mostly consists of enchants-- health and stamina chants on the armor give this level one paladin 453 health. For comparison, I went and rolled a level 1 myself-- an unplayed level one blood elf paladin starts with about 38 health. There's also a bit of extra damage on the weapon (untouched paladins hit for 7-10, and the twink hits for 13-17) and a little extra armor.
The Unadorned set used here is from a vendor in the Ghostlands-- it does seem to be the highest armor set available from a drop or a vendor. There is better level one armor out there (note that the armor is level 10, but level 10 is not required to wear it) from quests, but I'd imagine that actually completing any quest that pushes you past level one would defeat the purpose. Same deal with the weapon-- there are better swords around, but they're all quest swords, so it'd be tough to find something better while still remaining level one.
Of course, while Ratherbrute says this is all just existentialism, I'll still ask the central question here: just why would you want to twink a level 1? What is this pally planning on fighting, anyway?

Fighting creep all your life ftw.
This is the kind of idea that makes me laugh...in that horribly depressed, sort of way that's usually followed by a sigh.

at least this one shows up in the armory. 122% dodge? Is that possible?

Hahah. A level 10 twink. That's awesome. Someone's put some serious work in him considering he's carrying two grand arena master trinkets (from the arena in STV), which means the character has looted the chest there 24 times.

I have one that beats the 122% dodge rating. You can find his/her profile here: NeverDie 134% Dodge FTW.

Dueling bragging rights? I see alot more duels happening in Goldshire then ever before, lotta lvl 2s and such, just playing around with lvl 8-12s... kinda weird really... some are winning... i guess if you have the time on your hands, why not embarress someone when you're only a lvl 1 or 2

lower lvl twinks are all about dodge. Dodge rating scales with lvl, so a dodge rating of 1 on a lvl 10 is much better than on a lvl 19. A lvl 10 can be over 100%, thus making it impossible to hit them from the front - no wing clip, no gouge ect. Plus, they hit for a good amount. The problem is, casters will kill you since dodge dosent matter and warriors can use overpower on them. Still possible the best flag runners in the 10-19 bracket. Mix it with speed ench and you can hit them from the front and you can't catch them from behind : )

I was in Crossroads and this lvl 1 came and asked to duel... at first I was like pshhhh... so I let him hurt me... when I (being lvl 15 or 16) noticed the damage dropping, I started hitting back and lol it took some time to kill that sukka... then I inspected and saw all the enchants... neat...
