keeping all the barons loot for yourself. Stratholme

[stigeon1236]

Sort of a follow on from my rep. post really, but maybe even more useful. Some1 will have to confirm this for a 5 man group, because i only know it works with 2 lvl 70 chars.

Find an excuse for entering the instance late (late enough that the rest of your group has the barons ultimatum). Then enter and you will notice that you are not a part of the timed event. Clear to Baron Rivendare inside the time limit and make sure that it is YOU that aggro's the baron 1st. (even if it means a leeroy jenkins for you melee types lol).

Hopefully you didn't cause a wipe, or get kicked and you will notice that when the baron died, you got 100 rep for the non ultimatum kill, but 300 for your teams completion of the timed event.

Now the cool part It doesn't matter what drops, as long as YOU pulled Rivendare, it will all come to you. its like the rest of the group aren't there. And the best thing is you can greed on all so the group can see that you didn't need on any of it and there can't be any shouts of NINJA coming your way.

I hope this works for people who can use the items and sorry for the long a**e post. Imagine if you did this and the mount dropped *rubs hands together*

This would probably be useful pre-bc but I don't see a use for it now, since if you need the loot you probably have a friend/guildy/paid someone to run you through. It would be very hard to put together a group for that.

Although it is an exploit, so +Rep.

[stigeon1236]

I see what you mean. Any 1 around that level will be desperate to get to outland asap, but i often see pugs looking for scholo or strat on lfg. Just thought it was worth sharing.

Thanks for the rep btw

[ryder18]

thats a good idea

No, you still probably will never even see it.

Taken from Wowhead.

What is right, is that no site has enough information to get a valid droprate. And of course even if it was 0.1%, it doesn't mean that if you do 1'000 runs you're guaranteed to get it. To be 100% sure you get the mount needs an infinite number of runs which is, quite frankly, impossible. What can be calculated, however, is the number of Baron kills you need to do to be 99% sure it drops. This is just for the sake of being an exaple, we do not know the actual drop percentage so we assume it's 0.1%. You can use your own droprate if you want to follow along.

So, let A be "Baron drops the mount". So P(A)=0.001, assuming 0.1% droprate. P(B)=0.999, where B is "Baron doesn't drop the mount". (no, i cant write a complement line here so it's B). The chance of Baron not having dropped the mount on x runs is 0.999^x.

Therefore, the chance of Baron dropping the mount at least once on x attempts is 1-0.999^x.
If we want to be 99% sure it drops on these x runs, we let 1-0.999^x=0.99.
We can then solve x, so we get the number of runs needed for 99% assurance:

0.999^x=0.01
ln(0.999^x)=ln(0.01)
x*ln(0.999)=ln(0.01)
x=ln(0.01)/ln(0.999)
x=4602.867

So to be 99% sure it drops, we need about 4600 runs.

so assuming you do this 10 times a day it will take you 460 days, so its not completly impossible, it just makes you have no life

When I quitted WoW 4 months ago, my friend had solo'ed Strat ~230 times for the mount, without it dropping. xD And it got even more funny when some guy from another guild boosted his friend there and got it, haha!

[Timmy420]

This could possibly be usfull if a friend or two went to farm the Baron mount. Than you could just ninja that if it drops.

Apparently i need 5 posts to make a new thread.. and i need to get them now to share a exploit i just found out.. so here is one

[bl@cK!]

Imba, i have my own PreBC Guild

[tsiibii]

Ill try it thanks

[superfly_]

Nice idea :P

[Waffeleisen]

Stupid that the mount drop rate is so bad. Otherwise it would be really nice!

[Berifor]

Good find since it is an exploit
