Hello! This is my first time posting so please forgive me if I am not fully within the preferred format =) I searched for similar things and did not find anything so I am sorry if this ends up being a re-post.

What this exploit does: Hides your character unseen (except your name at certain angles) while in booty bay. You are able to access the auctioneer, open the window, enter the exploit area and be hard to find for just about anyone. I was never killed in the past with this location however note that I am not posting this exploit for invincibility, I am posting it for being hidden and less likely to be killed or detected.
I had discovered this exploit a few years ago and for some reason thought they fixed it, however I just tried it last night and it still works.
This exploit only works for a human female (its the only character race/sex that fits in the exploit)
Instructions:
- Create a level 1 human female with an ultra short name. I have found LL with alt codes the best and shortest (examples: alt-141 alt-140 etc)
- Get your level 1 human female to Booty Bay (get naked! Not sure if this matters but naked is fun none the less).
- Get money to said character and go to the lesser known auctioneer in the lower building.
- Once in the lower building look behind the auctioneer. Note the pile of sacks and a bookshelf to the right of the stacks.
- Take your character onto the sacks and face the auctioneer.
- Open the auctioneer window
- Back up into the corner on-top of the bags and slip into the corner.
- /sleep in the corner hidden behind the bags
- Activate your auction scanning software(I use AuctionNinja) and clicker if you so choose and voila.
If you are having a hard time getting into the corner keep trying. Try before activating the auctioneer. You can easily jump in and out of the hole. You can also jump to reactivate the auctioneer if someone kills it. BE SURE to deselect the auctioneer after you are in the hole. If you keep the auctioneer selected and someone manages to select you; you're just itching to give away your local.
Tips NOT to forget!
- Do not enter or exit the hole with anyone in the building.
- Remember to use a short name (Sticks out side of building regardless of how you lay facing).
- Remember to lay down in the hole (Your body turns phantom and you can see the dark head sticking up if you don't).
- Remember to deselect the auctioneer once in place!
I hope this is helpful =) Thanks!
Note: There is also a helpful dead run/rez mini-exploit that still worked for me and gets you there a lot faster. You die in Elwynn as close to Duskwood as you can. Run through Duskwood to STV passing the Rebel Camp while dead. Run all the way to Booty Bay resurrection angel and log out. Log back in and rez. If you try to rez at the spirit without logging out and back it, it will teleport you back to the graveyard you went to when you initially died. Helpful tip for running lowbies.
A view in the hole:
At some angles the name cannot be seen:
And can be seen at other angles, thus the helpfulness of short names.
