Farm Baron from Strat..Without killing Any trash!

[Druidmoonkinkk]

[PATCHED] as of 3.0.3! Much harder to do!



Got bored and decided to take another go at farming the baron mount. I had been farming it since I started Wow over 3 years ago. Now that they upped the drop rate, I see everyone and their mother with it. So, after being in there so long, I got tired of killing the boss just to open the gates. Always wished there was a faster way.

After dcing right after an eye knocked me out of stealth, I was pissed and trying to log back in, spamming my Forward key, since I was next to a pack of Ghouls. During which I saw myself on the other side of the gate. Curious, I attempted to try and repeat this..Which I did.

Doesn't matter how good of a computer you have (mine is custom and so is my huband's. I've tried on both pc's..while his is better than mine, it still works)

1. Enter Strat, open the gates and whatnot and stealth or run through (stealther's don't have to kill any trash) and go to the slaughterhouse gates.

2. Alt+f4 out, right there. You want to completely exit the game!

3. Log back in, and once you hit your loading screen, SPAM your forward key. Sometimes you will log in and get instantly dc'd again, just means you got caught in the item you was trying to pass through, so just log back in and try it again.

4. Profit! I did 20 baron runs doing this with only killing baron (or an eye if it spawned on my way)

You can do this from the slaughterhouse gate all the way to baron's room.

Help me please!:
Question: I instantly load back in and can't get past the door! This doesn't work!
Answer: Oh it does..your cache probably is loading to fast for it to work. You can log onto another toon and fiddle around for a bit to clear it, or upon logging in, put a CD in your drive or do something to make your computer process a second task for the loading to be slown down.

Question: I keep dcing, what am I doing wrong?
Answer: You are doing it right, but not getting far enough. When the area finally loads, your character is stuck in a graphic so it kicks you back out. Just spam your forward key harder and win.

Someone posted a macro on how to auto-dc yourself im sure you can use that to do this too.

[Skapocalypse]

Anyone have confirmation on this? If so, +rep and a huge hug for saving me four hours a day.

[Pyromancer]

Would this work if you edit door model too then?

[Druidmoonkinkk]

Using a model edit does have a chance of getting you banned. This is just straight to the game.

Video is at 71% rendering, so I will be posting soon.

Would love to have these kind bugs on my warrior
+rep for you after i have posted this.

I am flying down as I type to try this out.

I can't stealth, so it's gonna such, but w/e.


+rep if I can get it to work.

[Skapocalypse]

When you say, "spam your forward key," do you mean that we should be holding it down or pressing it rapidly?

I can't get this to work, but I'm sure I'm just doing this wrong.

I load in, and I don't see the gate, so I spam forward, but a second later it pops up, and I'm still outside the gate.

I tried putting in a CD in a drive (but it was blank), but still nothing.

I'm gonna try and get this to work. :P

Pressing it rapidly

I just got it to work!

+rep and <3!




All I did was spam my forward button. Idk about you but I have 2-3 seconds of 'seeing the world, but no one in it' type stuff, so I actually walked pretty far. I am running a few extra programs on my computer hoping that helped.

While on the loading screen, you spam your forward key (tapping it rapidly) don't wait till you see your character, just spam while the bar is still loading. Don't stop until everything loads up. If you can't get past the gate, you can always log out and try again. Took me about 4 tries to find out how to repeat this perfectly.

[TBJ]

Yeah, been spamming forward (W).

Third try now, logged onto a few other characters like you said.

Attempting 4th now.

If you are having trouble, remember to log off your character and to another one to clear the cache, or while at the loading screen, pop in a CD or start up another program to send some of the memory process elsewhere to slow down the loading.

[TBJ]

Meh, still nothing.

Can't wait to see your video. ><
