tank for your own alt in bc dungeons reg/heroics. Situational.

**jack070780** · 01-14-2010

Ok so i was wondering how the trading soulbound items would work from a dungeon and how to make it work for me.

I wanted to get the reg/heroic magisters terrace items for my rogue he is 71.

Couldnt find a group or a tank with high hp like a pally that can use SOL to basically solo it for me.

But i have a pally which didnt help my cause.

So what i did was invite my GF to a group with my pally (Or what ever toon you wanna solo it with)

Then i gave my gf lead logged and the relogged to my rogue. she invited me so that now my pally and rogue and her hunter (which couldnt solo the dungeon) were int he same group.

I had all 3 zone into said dungeon. I tested in Ramparts reg. although i also tested in kara with no luck. doesnt work in raids it seems.

Then i used my pally to solo to the second boss in ramps cause i killed the 1st one to fast.

Anyways dps second/demon boss. Got him to roughly 15-20k hp. Then using 2 minimized windows of wow to make it easier i logged into my acct (the same one my pally is on) but on the second minimized window.

Logged onto my rogue, once he appeared i used my gf who was standing next to my pally to dps the boss the rest of the way.

Then after the boss died i used my gf's huntard to loot and sure enough the loot also popped up on my rogues screen.

She can solo the reg ramps boss but this was a test. the test was, could i successfully tank till insane threat is obtained and to 15k-20k hp then switch toons fast enough to where my pally was still on the dc timer?

*(Dc timer is my term for the amount of time a toon will stay in the game and do its job once your d/c'd)

I found that not only could i trade the loot amongst all 3 toons using my gf as the middle man or needed on the loot screen. But also that my pally would last long enough after a forced d/c to finish tanking the mob giving me time to hop on my rogue and profit.

I would shorten this but Meh. This isnt a repost unless im a moron (might be) cause i first looked to see if it was possible before i tried.

Its rather useless if you have a friend to run you through.

But useful if its just you and a friend and your main can do the dirty work.

I imagine this would work with any heroic as well as in northrend but you couldnt solo that stuff anyways.

Not sure that a SS would provide any proof cause i could just solo it on my pally and wait for the time to tick away to take the SS. it does work i tested on reg ramps and bc heroics have the same dungeon systems so it'll work.

what is this I don't even....

**zhypher31747** · 01-15-2010

He's using 1 account, it has both his tank and alt, hes just logging onto his alt while his tank is fighting so his alt can still loot...

I personally think this is a really great and well thought out exploit.

It is not working as intended to kill things with a character on an account and then get the loot with another character on the same account.

Being able to gear up an alt like this is a great idea.

Now if it also gave xp...........

The method of boosting your own alt has been around since...since....since....Well a long time. Don't have the time to search for other posts but soon enough I'll get back with links.

I read all those posts and the idea is the same. However posted no less then 1 year ago and later. So im sure you can see how i missed them. Also Their way made it so 2 ppl could get the loot but with the new loot system i could trade the drop between all 3 toons so its just adding to a dead post i suppose. Oh wells. Im sure some people will enjoy this. Also im telling people this will not work in a raid ive tried. Unless im just unlucky.

You always, always, ALWAYS use the search button.
See how easy that is?
I'm not intending to flame, just pointing out.

Search is utter fail most of the time, I don't blame him for missing it. Mainly because most of the people on this site barely speak english and give their threads weird names.

Even if it was posted a year ago, i can see a repost being... ok. People would have joined wtihin the last year, people may have forgotten, or missed seeing the first post(s) to being with.
