[Honsu]

This is just great! Amazing find.

I hope this is not considered hijacking, but I wrote a guide on how to do this afk here: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-gu...arm-halaa.html

Anybody can do this with Skull of impending doom. Skull of Impending Doom - Item - World of Warcraft

Start the effect then take off your gear as its happening. Not tested but seems it would work.

Okay... I've just farmed all 170 of my tokens as an horde paladin so now I'ld list my findings:

The method I used was to use two characters; as a paladin there are three ways to kill yourself: seal of blood, hand of sacrifice, divine intervention. My method revolves around seal of blood however DI does grant you the token (20 min CD).

What you need:
* A paladin (a priest with shadow word death can also do a simular tactic)
* Another player of any class type (Refered to as Player 2 from now on)
* Bank all your equipment and strip naked

Move to the southern-most side of Halaa, across the bridge and onto the main land there are a two nearby Talbuks which are easily accessable and:

* Start a duel with the second player
* Player 2 accepts duel
* One player pulls a Talbuk (If the paladin pulls, use hand of reckoning since it will do only 2 damage)
* Player 2 takes the aggro on the Talbuk using a low rank spell to obtain threat without killing it (CC is even better, I personally used a shaman paladin and therefore used Hex)
* Player 2 kills the paladin / priest in a duel
* Paladin / Priest casts judgement or shadow word: death on the talbuk
* Player 2 auto runs away from the fight to get out of combat
* Paladin / Priest spirit ressurects in Aeris landing / Halaa (if controlled) and flys back.

Ta-da! you now have a battle token for everyone who particapted in this method, the talbuk is still alive and ready to be used again while you take the quick flight back and go again from Aeris Landing!

Things to look out for:

* Ensure the paladin / priest is WITHIN the Halaa zone, you can do this moderatly far from Halaa, however if you are not classed as in the Halaa zone, you will die without tokens.
* Do not play around with the bombing runs around Halaa, I found that there are still people of the oppersite faction around still trying to get their mounts the geninue way, don't give them an excuse to gank you, if they do try to run outside of the Halaa zone so they don't get tokens.
* Do not kill the mobs you use! if you kill the mobs nearby you will have a headache kiting mobs furthur away to Halaa everytime.
* Make sure ALL items are unequiped, I know backs, necks, rings, trinkets, offhands do not have durability but they add stats and therefore make your farming longer.

Other findings:
* Fall damage does not work, no matter how high I fall from, whether PVP flagged or not
* Items that damage you do not grant you battle tokens, such as dark runes or demonic runes

Hope this helps someone!

This still works doing it as we speak with pally / rogue.

Thanks for write up.

Time to get me that mount then

[sagn_jdi]

Got the 170 tokens needed in an hour flying up, dismounting and then die. Thanks for the tips

As for Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Sample farming I would suggest The Twilight Ridge. Good AoE spot, and I feel there's a better drop-rate here. As a bonus you'll get tons of cloth and greens aswell

Edt: Forgot to say that I'm a priest. The tokens comes when the Spirit of Redemption dies

[ThatModGuy]

Hehe awesome, thanks dude!

Could you recall me of an item that were able to inflict some damage to urself & kill in the process the same way Warlock can ? I was sure such item exist as a trinket, that could be handy for other chars who're not warlocks

Skull of Impending Doom - Thottbot: World of Warcraft

Use: Increases your run speed by 60% for 10 sec, but deals damage equal to 60% of your maximum health and drains 60% of your maximum mana over 10 seconds.

For people with out spells to hurt themselves. Has a 5 minute cooldown.

Reward for the quest Forbidden Knowledge in Badlands. Quest for both horde and alliance. Hope this helps all the rogues, hunters etc that can not kill themselves.

Anyone tried doing this with the Hysteria glitch? Just curious.

[shadowwake19]

falling wouldnt work i dont think, because you arent actually killing someone, just dieing.

Priests can do it with their spirit mode.
