Avoid spirit res costs when you cannot retrieve corpse

[d0om]

2 different methods! (although one takes a lot longer)

1)If you die somewhere where you cannot get to your corpse (high in the air on one of the floating islands, etc) ressing at a spirit healer is very expensive (especially if you carry around multiple gear sets.)

However, if you get a friend to party with you and queue you for all Battlegrounds, you can join the battleground while dead and then /afk out to res for free! (you can even beg some mana biscuits / buffs off other players first)

I did a search and didn't find this. Its something I have known for a long time, but not everyone will know and it saves you a lot of money!

(You can join battlegrounds while dead, while you cannot accept a summon. No idea why they designed it that way but they did!)

2) Walk into a capital city, and log out. Wait about 12hours, when you log in again you will be alive! You don't have to walk into a capital city, but it will take a lot longer if you don't. (I think it uses the same timings as getting rested XP, since its seems to go faster at the same rate in a capital city. A normal inn will not work as you do not get the "resting" Zzz icon while dead in an inn, but you do in a capital city.

The second method is dull. Do you rather want 10 minutes resurrection sickness or not playing wow for 12 hours?

[d0om]

You can log and play on an alt for that time. I use it when I am levelling and alt and get ganked / get bored after dying. You can log off and come back to the alt another day.

The first method is much more useful, I just thought I would include both for completeness.

Only problem is you will get queued in one zone, but then when you AFK out of the battleground you end up where you were queued and will probably spend that 10 minutes traveling back to where you were :-/

Im sorry but this is just... horrible.

The average player knows this and nobody with half a brain will wait 12 hours or more just to avoid a 10min (omfg its over 9k) debuff.

Oh yeah, you were just trying to contribute...:yuck:

Getting back to you were is a small price to pay compared to the 25% durability reduction from the spirit healer; It can add up to a hefty price if, like d0om said, you carry around multiple gear sets.

Both of these ideas have their ups and downs, well done.

Agreed:confused:

Im not quite sure if you are joking...what does add up?

Nice, didn't know this =] I expected it to be the "open a ticket with a gm" thing

[Katak]

The first method is epic, +rep, didnt know about this

[Sir Valden]

wow i thought everyone knew this great job telling everyone who diden't =D

[Ultimateman]

I thought about posting this but I didn't because, oh yea, it is working as intended and therefore not an exploit. This belongs in guides, along with 100 of the last 150 threads in this section.
