Minor: more than 10 Instances per hour

[Gihelle]

While doing my farms for the Love Rocket, I noticed a minor exploit that allows you to create more than 10 instances per hour.

The exploit lies in how the system counts different instances. As of today, you're limited to join 10 different instances per hour per realm location

What does that mean? Means you have 10 instances per hour in each of the different tabs in the realm selection screen:



Which means you can do a total of 40 instances per hour if you really wanted, being 10 in the United States realms, 10 in the Oceanic realms, 10 in the Latin America realms and 10 in the Brazil realms.

I tested this doing 10+8 runs in one hour, being 10 in realms from the Brazil tab and 8 in realms on the United States tab.

Not sure how are realm tabs grouped by in Europe, but it should work in a similar way, but it is worthwhile to test it.

This exploit is minor because mostly people that already have toons on different tabs can exploit this for dungeon mount farming (or in order to complete all your 20 Love Rocket runs in the same hour).

TL;DR: You can run 10 instances per hour per realm tab.

If your theory is correct, you can do 60 instances per hour on EU servers

Have fun with that 1 minute instance.
Whatever it is ^^

It's not "minor". Great exploit. ☺

It is quite possible to trash farm for 1 minute. Bastion of twilight for example (and much of that is loading screens).

If this works as Eryxion states, then I agree with Kaizuken, this is actually potentially huge.

Max rep on confirm.

This is useless and not an exploit. Dungeon finder instances (such as the love rocket one) do not count towards the cap.

They do actually count towards the dungeon limit. And if you haven't ever found yourself instance locked, good for you.

[rdruid69]

This is totally awesome for me. I have chars on both US and LA so I can do 20 runs per hour for the 2 dungeons mounts I still don't have. +rep

Oh? Then how will you explain that you can do that dungeon on all 11 chars on a single realm (additonally SavedInstances addon doesnt count them for the hourly limit either)

In my experience, you can run the holiday bosses as much as you want, as long as you run only that. However, if you try to go into another dungeon after those runs, it won't let you, and it then also locks you out of the holiday boss runs. You also can't do x10 a random dungeon then do the holidays.

What I did:

1) Ran ZG x10 on alt 1
2) Tried to run holiday on alt 2
3) Lets me queue, but doesn't let me port to the dungeon after queue pops

I can however run holiday x12 in a row no problem.

What does that even mean? haha

[Container]

This is actually quite huge as stated above.

Thank you for this!

[Razor33]

This seems amazing for Raid trash farm without getting locked out for people with multiple chars on multiple zones.
For now you have + Thanks for sharing , if more people can confirm this working you will have max rep from me as well !

Thats what I used to think, but during the valentines event I always get the "too many instances" error message on my 11th character on the same realm.
(Even when realms are connected, they have separate lockouts for the 10instances/hour, so you can easily do 20 when you have 10characters on each of the connected realms)

If u go on BoT heroic 25 (whatever highest difficulty it is), you can clear the first room of trash in about 1 min mattering what class u are, which greens, epics, and I believe there is decent cloth drops there too. Also he means he will give max rep(+10 or +7 for him) if someone confirms it works.

On topic, Awesome find man, there is definitely more with this and would not call minor in any such way. Sick find. +4
