Create Death Knight from Level 55 Character as Contributor

Hi All,

I have the contributor status.
So when I want to create a Death Knight I can simply do it without a level 55 character.

I wondered if there is still a way for me to level a character to 55 and turn it into a Death Knight.

This is for the sake of RP / completionism to level a character and then turn it into a Death Knight. But it seems I can only create a new DK from the creation, not choose an existing level 55. (although I do not have an exact level 55 char right now)

Thanks!

Well, it always was so that you just create new character as DK, not turn one of your current into it

I see. I thought it would keep all of the Achievements / Progression etc. from that char.
