[Exploit] Fastest Baron Mount run, using Zombie

[Kaysea]

Long time reader, first time poster on MMOWNED, but I believe I may have found something just too fun. (Sorry if this is a repost, I didn't find anything exactly the same)


With the new increased drop rate for the baron's mount, and all sorts of new tricks with zombification, I may have found the fastest way yet, without using 3rd party programs.


We were planning on using the "friendly undead" exploit to run me through Strath for a try at the mount, (he's a hunter, he can solo) We were going to have him run, feign, and kill the three bosses. While he was killing the Baroness, I was dicking around and ran up to the gate to the slaughterhouse. it was a targetable object, "doodad_6" or something like that, and I was able to open the gate. I ran through, opened the gates to the baron, and he ran through the abominations, feigned, and went right in to kill the baron. No mount drop, but at most, this is a 10 minute baron run.


Sorry if this is a repost, and i'll put op pics in a few minutes, after we run back in.

It's been posted on here and many other places that zombies can interact with game objects, gates/doors, so common sense.

+Rep for attempting to contribute and help you shed your leacher title. We need to encourage more people to go out of their way and contribute, you never know they could discover something great

[Drome]

Well, it's hard to discover things, and when you discover them you realize you're a dirty reposter, and that's even worse than leeching in other's opinions apparently.

I should know :<.

Anyway, on topic, I didn't know this until now, so thank YOU for providing this information. +REP good sir.

Tbh this just makes it slower.

Think about it, a legit run takes about 10-20 minutes depending on class, with this method sure you can open the gates as a zombie (walking at slow zombie speed) but then you have to fly all the way back to a city to get the diesease, and considering this is now 2 minute debuff, I doubt it's even possible to reach Baron Rivendare in there on time.

So all that travel, would just make it 30 mins or more, and no Dust/Essences, which on my server sell for alot due to twinks

I think he means you run as a zombie to the door since no mobs attack you and with the endless fetch-buff it seems pretty easy to do so.

EDIT: or at least one guy should be a zombie

This guy has a point...sort of.

It might take alot of work to get this run set up initially, but if it is done correctly, it can save you ALOT of time. But you need at least 2 accounts to do it right. Plus, for those who have done baron runs alot anyways, the change of scenery is EXTREMELY welcome.

What I do is this:

1) get the disease on a high level character (this is not the char who will be getting the mount) and get that character to the service gate entrance at undead strat. (you can't fly to light's hope because the argent dawn will pwn you)

2) Get your main (who will be getting the mount, separate account) to the UD Strat service entrance.

3) If possible, get a third level 70 character to the UD Strat entrance and give this character the disease. This character does not have to be on a separate acccount. The reason you give this third character the disease is for backup purposes; if your diseased character dies, this character is around to give the disease back.

4) Take the alt char (zombie) and the main into UD Strat via service entrance. The main must open all of the normal gates for the zombie.

5) using the zombie character, run to the slaughterhouse gates and open them via right clicking. then open BOTH doors to the baron. Along your way (both there and back) you should be looking for crates along the side. These crates have critters in them that you need to attack so that you can heal yourself. Also, you may want to clear the trap near the spider boss with your main ahead of the zombie.

6) Run the zombie back to the entrance of strat, using your main who is parked there to open the gate to let the zombie out.

7) Log the zombie character offline.

Run your main to the baron and kill him. Run out of the instance and reset it. Repeat steps 1 - 8.

Note: ANY time you are using your main to do something, you can log your zombie offline so that the disease doesn't tick him to death. This is an important part of the process.

This goes faster with someone helping you, but when done properly, saves you anywhere from 5-10 mins on a perfect solo baron run. It is also more fun if done properly.

It's times like this that I wish I had a rogue (or my druid was level 70 with good gear). This seems a bit hard to pull off now with the disease being such low time, however I'm going to +rep you since it works!

[Brolly]

thanks for reminding me on the baron mount...i used xyz....1st try nothing...2nd try OMGZOMFGROFLLOL the Baron Mount

A friend can clear the three bosses, the slaughterhouse and Baron in 10-11 minutes. He's a pally. So unless you're a low DPS class, not really worth the effort.

Getting the plague, getting there alive as a Zombie, then walking to Baron while keeping yourself alive (losing health over time blows) is a long tedious adventure, which would easily take an hour at least. In the meantime, you could have already killed him several times.

If you really want the mount that bad, just find a friend to go with you and duo the whole place in 8-10 minutes. I mean, if you can convince someone to wait around for your zombied self to walk to the Baron, can't be too hard. I've duo'd it at 65 with pally/druid in 15 minutes with less than worthy gear. So, interesting exploit, but no where near fast when you take into account everything you need to do to actually exploit the instance.

Not really. I infected a level 1 on my second account and used a Recruit-a-Friend summon to pull him to the Strat service entrance. From there, he can infect me or my level 45+ friend.

+rep for nice find ( i know you can't do this anymore though )
