But how do you disable it? This new game mode makes it so you can't interact with players in most traditional ways, with trading, mailing, and using the Auction House disabled while this extra-difficult ruleset is active. Solo self-found mode turns the already difficult WoW Classic experience into an even harder one, ensuring everything you find and accomplish in the world happens on your own.\u00a0 This ruleset is definitely a step up from your everyday WoW Classic Hardcore runs, and some players might be caught off-guard by the increased level of difficulty once they get out into the world. If you struggle with SSF mode after enabling it in character creation, you can always turn it off. Here\u2019s how to disable solo self-found mode in WoW Classic Hardcore.\u00a0 How to opt out of self-found mode in WoW Classic Hardcore You can disable the solo self-found ruleset, barring you from trading and exchanging items with other WoW Classic Hardcore players at any time. But you must keep in mind that you can't turn it back on once you\u2019ve disabled it.\u00a0 The only way to turn the ruleset on is by applying it in character creation when making a new character. You can then only turn it off by speaking to an Apprentice Watcher in one of the game\u2019s major cities. These NPCs will assist you in making the permanent decision to opt out of solo self-found mode during your Hardcore run.\u00a0 Apprentice Watcher locations in WoW Classic Hardcore Alliance Hall of Explorers, Ironforge Temple of the Moon, Darnassus Horde\u00a0 Hall of Legends, Orgrimmar The Apothecarium, Undercity You should be relatively familiar with Apprentice Watchers if you played WoW Classic Season of Mastery back in 2021. These High Elf NPCs are the same folks you would talk to to activate the Soul of Iron buff that marked a deathless SoM run.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/how-to-disable-self-found-rules-wow-classic.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1150960"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1720"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1150960"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1150960\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1468837,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1150960\/revisions\/1468837"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1468825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1150960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1150960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1150960"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1150960"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1150960"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1150960"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1150960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
