Twitch Streamer DesMephisto Honored with In-Game Item in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
Well-known Twitch streamer DesMephisto, who is famous for his innovative speed-leveling strategies in World of Warcraft, has recently announced that Blizzard Entertainment will be introducing a special item in the upcoming Shadowlands expansion as a tribute to his achievements.
DesMephisto’s most recent record-breaking accomplishment of reaching the max level in just four hours and 17 minutes has left other WoW players astounded and inspired to follow in his footsteps. The item, named “Desm’s Fistos,” will be a pair of plate gloves with haste and mastery as secondary stats. This item serves as a recognition of DesMephisto’s exceptional speed and expertise in leveling up.
In breaking this recent record, DesMephisto surpassed his own previous record. Taking advantage of the WoW 16th Anniversary experience buff and the Darkmoon Faire buff, he managed to level up to 50 almost two hours faster. This achievement highlights his constant pursuit of pushing his limits and setting new records.
It’s worth noting that this is not the first time Blizzard has introduced in-game items as a tribute to players. With each expansion, there are numerous nods to both Blizzard employees and regular players who have made significant contributions to the game.
DesMephisto has gained quite a reputation in recent months for his goal of collecting all available plate armor appearances and one-handed weapons in the game. Additionally, he has leveled over 60 characters to the max level and has set multiple speed-leveling records. Beyond gaming, he also uses his platform to raise awareness for mental health issues and has successfully raised thousands of dollars for various charities.
