Halaa Token Mount

[wetwlly]

There have been a couple of threads about Halaa and killing yourself with your own spells. But some of us aren't lucky enough to have those spells.
So there were two items in the game, and trinket and a offhand.
The trinket no longer works crystal of zin-malor (i think thats its name) and the skull of impending doom is an offhand that still works.

But who really wants to wait 5 minutes each time to kill themself just to wait another 5 minutes. I certainly did not.
So if you have two accounts ( or just a good friend who has some time to spare ), have your best buddy sit at Dalaran Sewers near the arena battlemaster, group up with them, and while you are at Halaa, ( its best if you control Halaa, because then you have a closer graveyard, if not you will have to do about 2 minutes of walking to your corpse ).

Now that you are at Halaa, and you control it, and your friend is in the sewers or near a Arena Battlemaster, fly up dismount ( i always do about two spells just to trick the server into thinking im fighting someone, so i use thunderstorm and water shield ), use offhand (die).

Upon Ressurrecting, have your friend queue you for a skirmish 2v2 arena. It's only up to about a minute wait, but most of the time i instantly was queued for one. Enter the arena, and leave on both characters. You should end up back in Halaa, with your offhand cooldown reset . Rinse and Repeat til you have the number of tokens needed for the Talbuk Mount.

Simper View (for those who hate reading like me, even though i write alot):
Player 1:Acquire the offhand [The Skull of Impending Doom]
Player 1: Go to Halaa. Control it.
Player 2: Near Arena Battlemaster.
Player 1: Kill yourself (do self spells or something also)
Player 1: Rez
Player 2: queue for skirmish 2v2
Both Players: Enter and Leave Arena
Repeat until Friend gets tired or you reach 100 tokens


I would like to credit the people who made Halaa Token Threads and whomever made the Shake your bunny-maker thread for no cooldowns using arena battlemasters.
I just had the idea to throw them together to reduce my time sitting on this lonely island

Thanks for Reading, apologies if this has been posted down someone's thread.

Wouldn't work. Can't group queue for 2v2 Skirmish any more, it'd have to be rated. I found a way, not sure if it's still possible. But, if you kill someone with res sickness you still get the halaa token. Could just farm an alli/horde friend at the GY.

[wetwlly]

you can still group queue skirmishes, i just finished doing this =]

A sidenote for anyone farming the mounts (Hell yes! I've just got 100!): the crystal powders for Research Tokens, even though it says you need 20; only 10 are handed in at the moment, whether it is a bug or a stealth buff I don't know.

rly the easiest way is to get a mate from horde side to cooperate with u ..
when i farmed my 170 tokens i used my horde druid acc let my friend log it and he partied his main with me and went afk near me and he was flying from gy to the bridge i kill him he spirit ress and fly again
around 2-3 a minute depends on loading screen time..

ya only way to speed up from there would have been your friend to control halaa, so real close graveyard.

[hpdark]

the EASIEST way BY FAR, is to have a warlock friend or alt acct warlock come with you and spare 5 min of their time. Group up with the warlock, have them take off all their armor, life tap down to nothing and use hellfire, then accept rez sickness from spirit when you guys control it. have them die right by where the ghost is and just keep doing it, you can die like once every 10-15 sec and both of you will get marks

[wlfbck]

you get marks for killing yourself? oO

[wetwlly]

not killing yourself really. like falling to death wouldn't count. but using spells and items that act as killing effect aka hellfire, DI, the skull of impending doom. those work.

[Broken Shadows]

Kind of confused..?

[junkkiller]

rez sickness puts durability penalty on inventory gear too

[ThatModGuy]

Surely there's some mechanics for stopping this now?
Sounds kinda similar to something i've heard before but meh.

[wetwlly]

to not take durability damage when doing the warlock method, place armor and weapons and wands in the bank to avoid paying repairs.. i did not notice until i got the last 70 of my 170 tokens that my lock had full red inventory. a good 50g repair bill


edit: to add upon that.. if you need help getting research tokens from oshu'gun powder samples. the best place is sunspring post, lots of guys, all the guys drop it, and its an okay drop rate. good luck

[MasterGold]

Going to put my armor on the bank and try this :-)

[bluemeep]

Awesome, I wasn't aware of the skull offhand before now. I just gave it a try with my rogue and it worked like a charm.

Helpful hints for anyone else interested in trying this:
1) You must be in the region of the zone specifically named "Halaa", not just the basin.
2) You must be flagged.

Took some trial and error at first before I realized that. See ya'll in 99 more tokens.
