Unlimited Hilt Farming Runs

[3N16M4]

Ive seen many posts about this but none mentioning how to avoid BOTH debuffs. Doing this lets you run any of the Frozen Hall instances as many times as you like. No saves (or few, see below), no repairs.

To start, dont use random instance finder. You are farming the hilt remember? So in specific check only the 3 forge, pit and halls instances. que up and wait for it to pop. Using the specific dungeon feature DOES NOT APPLY 15 MIN DEBUFF LIKE RANDOM DOES.

Go through just like normal. (A suggestion is to ask if people will be ok with clearing more trash in POS, some dont mind and it gives you more kills toward drop chance).

Now the way to not get saved is easy. And most people say the best way is to leave while dead, but that costs money in repairs. Best way to do it, leave group while in combat. Yep, that simple. So while the group pulls the boss, wait to enter combat and then leave group. Doing this will not give you the 15min Deserter debuff.

Do it all as many times as you want.

Some notes:

It may be a good idea to leave group on the pull BEFORE the boss. Reason being if you leave at the start of a fight, there is a possibility they will 4man it. In which case you get saved. Youll know your saved if suddenly you recieve emblems. Check your group. If your a DPS I absolutely recommend you leave on a trash pull right before the boss. Healers, make sure theres not someone who can heal even as offspec (priests, druids, shaman). Tanks, you are free to leave at any point during the boss fight and enjoy the fact that Garfrost is running around ROFLStomping your group.

Cheers, and GL on the Hilt.

Just got the deserter buff while in combat (45k tank with a healer with 9k mana BUFFED and most gear is defense/dps, noty)
EU realms.

If I leave a group, even while combatted I will get kicked out of the instance and back to Dalaran, secondly, You will still only be able to enter 5 instances per hour. So this really have no better use than all the other guides.

Ive been doing this for the past week. And have yet to run into the problem of the 5 instance limit.

The point of this was to get to continuously enter any of the Pit, Forge, or Halls instances.

And Thidan, i do this on US servers. EU may be different but I have yet to get deserter.

This is common sense >.<

I wont call it common sence..
I didnt know about it

I thought you only got the deserter debuff when you left a random dungeon group. If your using the specific dungeon finder i don't believe you would get the debuff.

Why you gotta flame the man?
This seems like a cool idea, if you have the time.
Though, I'd like to see some pics.

It is kinda common sense IMO. More like a guide and not an exploit.

detailed explaination, fairly nice idea, i agress with nona, it's more like a guide

i posted this in exploits rather than guide because you will get deserter if you just leave any group, random or specific.

Leaving while in combat and not getting the debuff to my knowledge is not how blizz intended it. and as i understand it, that is an exploit, taking advantage of some quirk in the game. IE never getting saved to an instance with a 15k gold item drop.

I have to reply as you are wrong as you do not get a deserter debuff after leaving after about 6 mins (IIRC)

So this is working as intended and is not an exploit, sorry

I have done this for a while now (and would have posted if i had the rep - anyhow), I always queue as tank and go PoS HC specific each time. As I am tank I make sure we clear the majority of the instance on the way to the first boss. Right before the first boss I usally pull the skeleton to the right allow the group to 95% kill the mob then leave the party. As a tank (or healer), you wont get saved as they will need to replace you.

Even if you are a crap (offspec) geared tank, you surely can tank the adds before bosses without being entirely crit proof.
