Farming classic raid instances - little hint ;)

[Raage]

Hello everyone out there!

As some of you know, it's quite possible to farm some of the classic raid instances - or maybe even TBC raid instances, not sure about that though.

However, in order to enter a raid instance you have to be in a party with someone and it has to be converted to a raid!

Now, finding a person you can group up with so you can solo a raid instance, is easy - but finding a person who can stay until you're done is another story. The problem with being in a raid, is that you cannot do quests - so therefore, the person who'll be your "raid-partner" who's not even helping you out cannot do quests in the meantime.

Here's the trick though!

In order to bypass this requirement, you'll simply form a party and convert it to raid. Enter the raid instance, whereafter you'll leave the raid and invite the person again, so it's a party instead of a raid. By doing this, the other person can quest while you do your instance, because you will NOT get teleported back to your inn, even though you're in a party

I hope this hasn't been posted before - and I hope it could help some people out there!

Hehe yeah,
or you ask if someone log on an unused twink, invite him and he can log off and log on his main again.

Seems like common information, probably a repost.

That's true as well I guess, but my method lets you talk in party chat with your friend as well instead of whisper

Nonetheless, I suppose it's common information and it's not like it's a huge breakthrough in WoW, but it's worth a topic in my opinion!

EDIT:

Well, I guess you aren't doing it right I'm playing on EU as well!

Do what I do, and start a trial account, and have him sit idle in Durotar, and Dualbox your way through raids.

I do ZG, MC, Onyxia.. and so forth on my Druid.

Not really an exploit in my eyes

actually it is . when you go in a raid instance you must be in a raid group and therefore cannot do normal quests

You don't need to dual box, you can log off of your trial account after he's in the raid. Offline raid members are the same as online ones for this "trick"; they aren't booted from the raid.

Exactly what I was gonna say

You only need to be in a raid to enter the instance. You can then just kick the other guy from the raid and you won't get ported out; I've done this many times. You have to repeat the process if you die though.

Awesome!
I'll try this when I can buy more game time...=[

I usually log an alt, invite someone to a party, convert to raid and promote them. Then I log my main and ask for invite and to get promoted. Kick the random you invited and I got a raid with myself
