Stratholme Baron run, no minibosses

[Cheatertroll]

Thank you as this works great.

This must be new or just added as you think this would have been found out before this. +rep

Still working after today's maintenance. Thanks for sharing

[andymk]

works 4 also for me ...

note: everytime when some critters come out then a gate will despawn i think ...

after 15000+ runs of strath.... since Bc.... No mount yet...

15000... Seeing this exaggerated number just made me curious of how long it would take to actually carry out this huge operation So here's my conclusion;

----------------------------------------------------------------
15000 runs divided in 5 runs/hr = 3000 "5/hr-runs"

Let us assume the person who tries this got no social life and
a daily playtime of, lets say, 15 hours (approx. 10:am to 01:am)

3000 "5/hr-runs" divided in 15/day = 200 days(!)
----------------------------------------------------------------

Now THAT'S some serious dedication! :eek4dance: And alot of bad luck if the bony Horse didn't care to drop

Actually, if you didnt notice he said since BC.

During patch 1.3 I remember doing baron, with 10 people (LULZ) and I remember starting to count runs because I had done baron so many times without ever getting beaststalker boots.

I started to count my runs from that point on, from 1.3 - 3.1.1 although I stopped cuonting after BC came, I started again once I started to solo baron for the mount.

Before BC = 250ish runs (under-estimate)
During BC = (??) Didn't count
WotLK = 13 runs, and on the 13th run, the mount dropped.

Blizzard actually increased the drop rate by a vast ammount, from 1 in 5000 (pre-bc) to 1 in 100, during WotLK.

I can confirm that it works.
But in order for a door to despawn you have to break a crate that spawns those little bug thingies. I can say that this is truly amazing. I now have the motivation to farm the deathcharger once again. Thank you <3

[capnjack]

Going to go give this a shot tonight

[jpvdpoel]

Been farming the mount for years, never even _seen_ it drop. This is going to make my farming so much easier. Trying it out tonight! <3

[darkaurion]

Nice job ^^ I'll try it this night ! +rep

Nice find! +rep. By the way, you can also open the gates where the bugs spawn (between Nerub'enkan and the Magistrate) by opening crates along the way. The bugs still spawn though =(.

Works well, +rep.

Thanks alot!

My first post here and sorry if it's already been posted somewhere in this thread, but if you have the quest Houses of the Holy and picked up the 5 holy water (not sure about about the water part but just noticed it after I got the 5)

But with the quest only the double fake crates get the looty glimmering glow and the actual lootable crates are just plane crates... hope this helps someone make the runs even faster
