Relevant: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinking For me, twinking in World of Warcraft was locking my character's level and then finding the absolute best gear for that level. Due to how stat scaling is changed from expansion to expansion, you can find "breakpoints" where the stats from BiS (best-in-slot) gear for a level scale your stats significantly higher than what was supposed to be possible. An example of this was during the MoP expansion, level 80 twinks could use item level 409 gear (with level 80 being designed around ~272 level gear) and would get ludicrous stats, like 50% critical hit chances. This allowed level 80s to actually compete with level 90s, like when someone soloed a 10-man level 90 boss as a level 80: https://www.engadget.com/2013/01/09/level-80-paladin-solos-some-mogushan-vaults-bosses-gets-vengea/ https://www.engadget.com/2013/01/09/level-80-paladin-solos-s...
