Farm Ramps Bosses FAST

Trying to finally contribute, but wanted to make sure what I posted was worth your time. Searched around and didn't find anything about this farming method.
*No pictures at work guys, I'll try and upload some when I get home.
*I believe this belongs in exploits as its not how the instance is intended to be completed.

Farming Ramparts FAST.
A lot of people are working on their alts right now (including me) and as soon as you hit 58 you head to Hellfire where the new gear flows like a river.
So here's a quick way for you to do multiple Hellfire Ramparts runs if your class can stealth.

Needed:
1) LvL 70+ Class w/ Stealth (May work with a Mage) (Runner)
2) You to being able to move your Alt if you're multi boxing. (Alts)

How it's done:
1) As soon as you enter Ramps, kill the first three mobs (the two stationary and the pat.) SET LOOT TO MASTER LOOTER! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

2) Your alt/alts stay in the entrance area not going any further than the bridge.



3) The (Runner) enters stealth and heads towards the first boss, avoiding the wolves that have Detect Invis/Stealth. *NOTE: At level 80, you can walk past many of the mobs without being in stealth and not pull aggro.

4) When you enter the area of the instance where the first boss is, he pats along the curved "road." You'll want to wait until he is at the peak of his path towards the ramp where you go up a level in the instance. The bosses path and the area looks similar to this.

5) Aggro one of the bosses adds (the healers) and Sprint/Dash up the ramp, pass the caster mobs in the hallway, onto the large "Outdoor" area where the archers, and the patrolling wolves are.

6) At this point you'll want to LOS the large group of mobs so they all come up to that outdoor area. Your ideal posistion will be right infront of the area where you can jump down to the entrance. DON'T actually jump down, just stand right next to it. See this diagram:


------------------|
bridge to last boss
------------------\
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\ KILL SPOT
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\-----------
xxxxxxxxxxx|--------|
xxxxxxxxxxx|--ALTS-|
xxxxxxxxxxx| BELOW |
xxxxxxxxxxx|--------|





7) AOE down the boss, his adds, and any mobs he/you aggro'd on the way. I've only done this as a rogue, but what I usually do is pop Evasion, Adrenaline Rush, and them spam FoK like crazy. It usually clears them all out by the end of AR. Druids could simply Bear+AOE or Boomkin Hurricane/Typhoon.

8.) Master Loot the gear to your alts.

9.) Continue to the last boss, fight him like normal. The only important part is NAZ WILL SHOOT FIREBALLS AT YOUR ALTS, BE READY TO MOVE THEM!

10.) Open the chest and Master Loot the gear to your Alts.

11.) Everyone exit, reset, and repeat.


A couple of notes about this process:

- Master looting makes this possible because your alts are in range of the bosses upon death.
- The second boss, Omor, Resets if you pull him too far from his zone..so unfortunately this doesn't work for him.
- Only tried with a Rogue so Druid results may vary.
- A level 80 of any class may be able to simply run through without stealthing because of the low aggro range.
- You may only enter 5 Instances per hour
- The socketed gear is great because you can put WotLK gems in them making them quite OP for their level.


SHORT VERSION:
1) Have your alts stand right in the area before the bridge when you first enter the instance and set loot to master looter.
2) Stealth to the first boss. Pull the first boss all the way to the spot on the second level where you can jump down to get back to the entrance and kill him while staying on the second level. Master Loot the gear to your alts because they were near the kill spot.
3) Kill last boss and Master Loot gear to alts because again they are near the spot where you kill the boss.
4) Repeat
5) Profit.

Remember, this is a great way to get some easy gear for your Alts once their ready for BC! Hope this helps people out!

Waiting for the pictures. Looks confusing atm.

Basically just enter instance with alts. Go through the entire instance on main/80, pull first boss and move him near the bridge to the 3rd (the one with the drake) boss, and kill. AFAIK you can't pull the 2 other bosses there since they reset.

It's common sense, but pretty useless since the majority of people I know who run HFR are there more for the XP, not so much for the loot.

Useless? You kidding? I wouldn't mind all of the Ramps blues on my shaman, that's for sure.

Definitely not common sense either, as it definitely never occured to me that pulling the two bosses together by the healer and tanking them at that exact spot with the alts positioned near the entrance would allow me to master loot them the loot, and I never realized that the dragon boss would also shoot fireballs at the alts during the fight.

But maybe that's just me.

I agree this is pretty common sense...enter the instance, stealth to the bosses, ML to the alts.

But the first pull seems more troublesome than anything. You'd have to pull the first boss through 10+ mobs (not including his 2 healers). Which can be rather a pain depending on what class you are and many of these mobs are ranged and FLEE so you're likely to aggro either of the 5 pack of mobs on either side of the final boss bridge (1 immediately on the right looking @ the bridge, the other by the tunnel you came from by the chest spawn)

IMO, just stealth to last boss (who has the better gear anyway), ML, drop down and repeat.

2 rep from me.. you put enough effort in to deserve it..

[timebandit1]

This is awesome, it's just like the wailing caverns exploit but MO BETTA

[pwnanobrien]

Yeah it is common sense, but you'd be suprised how many people don't take advantage of the quick loot to help you on the grind.
Thanks for the rep guys, I just didnt want to post a complete bs, and untested guide/exploit when I finally did.

BTW, you don't have to kill both bosses at once, the key is just to have the first boss at that spot so you can ML the loot to your alts. You can kill the last boss where he spawns and ML.


AND the reason you're pulling all those mobs is speed, not safety, this is very doable with rogues and druids.

looks very complicated =p...thanks though

Hello!
The first and the last boss are ok. What about the second one? he reset after pulling him near the killing spot.
Please explain me how to do with this one.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
