Argent Tournament Icecrown Citadel: Easy getaway

[fknsonikk]

This exploit involves the daily quests "At The Enemy's Gates", which you get as a valiant, and "Battle Before The Citadel", which you get as a champion. Note that these are the alliance names of the quests and if they are named otherwise on horde it would have been nice if you mentioned this in a comment.

As you probably know, these quests involve the new mounted combat system and in these quest you are fighting four types of scourge which are found north of the Icecrown Citadel.

One of these types can be especially hard, the Boneguard Commander. He has 250 000 HP and starts with three stacks of the shield buff that reduces his damage taken. There are also a whole lot of other mobs nearby and they also respawn at a fast phase. Due to this, you can without noticing suddenly have multiple mobs after you, maybe enough for a certain death.

This is where the exploit comes in. The mobs are in a phased area of the ground north of Icecrown Citadel. If you go southwest like this screenshot indicates:



If you are going in the right direction, you will go into another sub-zone called "The Court of Bones". The border to this goes along some cracks and stones in the terrain if im not mistaken. When going into this sub-zone, you will leave the phased area of the daily quest and the mobs will no longer be chaseing you. You are then free to heal your mount up with the spell because you go out of combat right away.



I know this isnt gamebreaking and most of you probably think the mobs are not too much a problem. On the other hand some of you may so i hope this can help!

Interesting stuff...

same name both horde and alli side ... well cause you know ... obviously they brought both horde and alli together in a state of neutrality resulting in no ganking so i dont see why they would do something so trivial as to change the name of the quests because your with a different faction.

Yes the mobs are a joke, until you find you have bitten off more than you can chew. I think this is actually quite useful tbh decent find.

Well it will help some I guess.Still though running away will usually cause the mobs to run away in the first place but if it doesn't work like that here nice find I guess

It feels to me that they have a longer "leash" than most mobs, they follow you all the way to the argent base camp at least. Getting out of combat instantly can be nice too because sometimes you are in combat due to other people, and having to wait to heal up your mount is quite boring.

The valiant quests have faction specific questgivers and many daily quests do actually have different quest names depending on faction.

Just a quick note, it looks like you can go the other way too to get out of the phased sub-zone. Going pretty much directly east will get you into The Court of Bones aswell.
