Save Time with Jousting Daily by Banking Infinite Marks

[Aaubert]

In this screenshot you see 4 jousting mark rewards in the mail, all of which are 5 days old. The interesting part is that the quest items you receive from jousting are supposed to only last in your mail for 24 hours. They did this so you couldn't fill up your inventory, do a few billion jousts, then turn that quest in 1x/day for the next year w/o jousting again.

Jousting is boring and annoying, and while not really "difficult", I enjoy cutting it out of my schedule. Currently, wait times on my battlegroup for a DPS for a random heroic are around 20 minutes. So its way easy to queue up, fly to argent tourney, joust till your instance pops, then turn in the tokens every day for a week.


TL;DR Version-

Fill up inventory so you have no room.
Joust in the Argent Tourney Area and receive 1x Mark of the Champion per win.
All marks will go straight to your mail and say *EXPIRES IN 24 HOURS*.
Turn them in at your leisure, 4, 5, 6 days down the line.

This one says you can get 4 extra, which is NOT the exploit here.

A quote from this page you helpfully linked says: Yeah but they will be deleted after a day. Did my quest today also like this =)

Another great quote: they send you the mark in the bank, where it stays for 24 hours. This makes it so you only have to do it every other day.


READ THE ACTUAL POST, AND THE TITLE OF THE POST WHERE IT SAYS "INFINITE." I didn't just toss that in there for shits and giggles, I put it in there because they're NOT deleting after 24 hours like they say they should, hence the exploit.

Either way, anyone who's actually managed to accomplish this 'exploit' before, or any of the others, should already know exactly what you've posted here.
A) It would not have been that hard to post saying, "You can actually get infinite from this"
B) This one obviously leaves them in the mail, not taking them out and putting them in the bank, yes, again, wouldn't be that hard saying, "If you take them out of the mail, they will retain in your bank forever"
Either way, the basis of this exploit has been posted before, many times. I just didn't see the point in making a completely new topic for one added piece of information.

Sorry mate, i disagree. I guess to make the thread suit your view, I could rename it to "THINGS THAT SAY THEY EXPIRE IN 24 HOURS REALLY AREN'T SINCE PATCH 3.3", but really, i don't think it matters.

The previously mentioned "exploits" aren't really exploits. The game is working exactly as intended. You can do a quest. You can get your quest items. If your inventory is full, you can sneaky-bank another day's worth, which expires in 24 hours. All of this uses the mechanics the game is supposed to do.

What I'm talking about is using a inconsistency between what the game says and what actually happens to make an annoying daily quest better suit your schedule.
