Items to reduce character power / level

So I’ve been doing some achievement hunting with my lvl 120 and I’m running into this annoying instance of low level mobs that die in a single hit even when you go naked. Some of these are need to be only slightly damaged, often dungeon bosses, to start a phase that’s required for the achievement.

Now, achievements are supposed to be achieveable, right? So I think a neat solution to this that also provides a bit of fun and lore to the game is having curse items that only have a detrimental effect such as reducing the amount of damage that you do, or increasing the chance that you get hit, or lowers your resistance.

Another approach could be to enable a mode where your character is able to time travel or time shift or whatever to lower their level for some time. Time shifted dungeons are good and all, there’s a big limit in them in terms of what you can do.

There’s a toy, Soft Foam Sword, that you can get that will nearly kill trivial mobs. I haven’t tried it with achievement hunting but I’ve found it useful when I’ve gone back through low level quests to work on Loremaster.

I’d definitely try out the soft foam sword, you also want to change gear that has proc effects, i.e. azerite gear, trinkets, neck, legendary cloak … and check your talents.
This way I was able to finish achievements and quests that required mob to a very low health level. Iirc the soft foam sword will never deal a lethal first hit.
Happy hunting :slight_smile:
