silithus: carry silithyst without speed decrease

[g3gg0]

when you want to carry in those silithyst in silithus, they will slow you down and drop if you try to mount up.
so simply *cough* get a mammoth or a bike and mount up with that.
(or ask a friend to let you mount)

you can now carry the silithyst to the extractor with speed decrease debuff, but running at full speed.

maybe someone will have some profit from this hint

[Sacrox]

What use is a speed decrease? O.o

[g3gg0]

you will get a slowing debuff when carrying this silithyst -> not wanted.
mounting up with a normal mount -> you drop silithyst
mounting up with mammoth/bike -> neither slowed nor dropping silithyst

[Aradroth]

No one does this anymore so how is this useful?

[LettersFromWar]

I imagine the use for the speed decrease was from when AQ came out and there were a lot of people there, so that pvp thing there was actually used. This is kinda useless because I don't know anyone with a bike/mammoth who would want to do the silithus quest, but it is a nice find.

[g3gg0]

well, people may do that for reputation/achievement reasons.
(DK, new twinks etc)

its not really worth the rep at all since you can get more by doing something else

nice find though

might not work anymore next patch when they will make vehicles like regular mounts

[7itanium]

People still go to Silithus?

also this is not an exploit.... the item will not let you "mount"... but a mammoth or bike is NOT a mount its a "vehicle"

therefor this is working as intended

[smakapotatis]

Actually turning in an Silithyst Geyser will give you a buff for 5% more damage done for 30 min - so it can be usefull afterall?=)

[g3gg0]

working as intended? well no. the intention of the silithyst is:
not to travel faster than walking.
no mounts, no shapeshifting (slowed down) and no port afair.
the debuff clearly says "...movement speed limited..." so they made you
drop the silithyst whenever you tried to walk faster.

if it were game mechanics, going through walls in AQ40 would be also no exploit.
its based upon the same assumption that there will be no vehicles.

anyway. i made my last few rep for the "warden of cenarion" title using this exploit.

[Zamboni]

Turning in a Silithyst Geyser is said to count as a kill for the Wintergrasp Slay Them All! quest (plus the 20 Honor for the Geyser quest). Being able to do this at full mounted speed may make this worth doing while on Runecloth farming runs.

[hugehair]

yeah thats true

[thakillers]

1 silithist hand in gives 20 rep with CC and 20 honor. It aint much, but considered if your luckly you can get 1 per 2 mins done, within 1 hour you have 600 rep and 600 honor. Now its getting more usefull. Now, when you combine farming by doing the assault quests and this, you can drag yourself (4x 250 rep from quests and around 10 hand ins (300 rep) get a nice 1300 rep per hour. An nice and easy way to farm rep with cc, unless you farm aq40, those scarab thingies that drop from bosses give 500 rep each hand in (Both Brood of Nozdormu and Cenarion Cirle)

Vehicles are another creature and therfore they will not be slowed but your character will be.
