I sold my starting weapon and the food I spawned with to afford herbalism and from there everything else was easier.
does it count if you heal someone or stay in the group of someone killing mobs/doing killing quests

Get to 15 and then heal guild runs? Or does being in a group that kills things makes you an accessory?

Personally I’m counting it. I think it sort of a matter of if you hire someone to kill, you’re just as guilty for the death kinda thing. Though I can see someone being able to get much farther by the healing duties.
But why? This is World of WARcraft, after all.
For the hell of it and to see how far I could get with out killing.

how about only killing animals/nonhumanoid creatures, of which it is morally acceptable to kill? hunting is fine for example, but killing humans is not, otherwise i don’t think that it’s possible

OP’s idea is actually quite doable, he’ll just have to become an economic mastermind and then go around paying people for carries through quests and dungeons.
I think I’ll do that after I finish my pacifist run, maybe play a hunter to fit the role.

Some of the talk to people quests give stuff and coins. That said, she’d need to get up to required levels for various ‘talk-to-people’ quests later on too. Also I think apprentice profession training is just 10 copper, but the mining pick was something like 83 copper. Dwarves have a find treasure ability that would’ve helped locating treasure chests, but not sure we see any until outside the starting zones. Might be possible to use auctionator to help locate underpriced goods on the AH and buy/resell those for coin for gear as she advances. Maybe dance on mailboxes if all else fails.

Lol that may help more if the character for this run was a pretty elf. But yeah for something like this because I don’t ever need the weapon just selling it is worth while. Especially cause it doesn’t give any special stats or anything to help. For anyone else trying this I would definitely recommend starting with herbalism first. A) It doesn’t require a tool that costs more. B) base level herbs (Peacebloom and Silverleaf) sell to a merchant for 10 copper, it doesn’t take long to get enough for things like mining.
You did bring up an interesting point though. It may have gone easier for me if I had chosen a dwarf instead of the undead I had. That tracking for treasures is really handy.
That raises a lot of interesting questions about how far someone could get, what classes/races/professions you could use, etc. It’s like a reverse ironman, but with even more planning.
It sounds like you’ve already gone through the quest databases to find out just how much quest xp you could get. I imagine there’d be quite a few massive gaps.
It seems like you’d have to play it straight as far as loopholes are concerned. I could see having another character like a paladin help protect you for some parts, but they wouldn’t be able to kill anything (just cc/heal). I guess things like buying cloth can quickly start getting into grey-areas.
For a related project, you could try a shaman spirit-warrior that’s only allowed to kill hostile elementals. Or a priest/paladin that could only fight demons/undead.

I like both of those ideas! I’m already looking at special challenge playthroughs to try when I stonewall myself with the Pacifist run.
A lot of people have been suggesting the buying of mats for certain parts. I’m still debating whether or not I should. I think I’m more than fine to sell my mats from mining and herbalism but I might only be able to spend it on gear from vendors and skills mostly focused on Subtlety. I dunno still debating a few things but really happy with my progress so far.
this could be a fun class challenge actually. Maybe I’ll try this if I ever get bored.
if I’m not dumb you’d have to run up to tirisfal for 1-10 undead right? then after that you can go to darkshore for some ghosts, then duskwood/SFK (I’d argue worgen could be an exception to the undead/demon rule), from there the satyrs in desolace then the demons in desolace, then blasted lands?(can’t think of anywhere else) and then finish in the plaguelands.

Classic wow was made during a time where grinding mobs was how you leveled in mmos. Quests are basically cosmetic and I still find it funny when people complain there aren’t enough quest drops. They are basically there to direct you towards mobs to grind so a pacifist run shouldn’t even be possible. It wasn’t until at least Panderia that gathering gave xp.

I leveled as a “Pure” Priest.
No offensive spells trained. Wand until 60. Heal everything I could.
It was fun to get immersed in the character. I wish you luck!

MadSeason talked about someone that did it in Vanilla on one of his YT videos. It is possible, you just need to do all the delivery quests and other quests that don’t require any killing. I don’t think it can be done without questing.

Does killing ghosts/demons count? They’ve already died once, if anything you’re doing them a favour.
