Get into Acherus (DK only zone) as a non-DK, without hacks

[mrtiller]

I've Decided to come back to mmowned, and I thought i should come back with a decent exploit, so here is my guide for non-DKs to get into Acherus, the Ebon Hold, without any sort of hacks.

This method uses the "otherworld" glitch, however, unlike most posts that involve said glitch, this one gets you into acherus with mobs and other DKs. You should also have a good idea on how it works. Here are the two threads that explain it, the first one is cryptic and you need to look around for info, the second one explains it perfectly.

Requirements:

A slow fall buff long enough to sustain slow fall for 30+ seconds (in other words, a slow fall buff you can chain). The one i use for non mages is the festive brew mug: Filled Festive Mug - Item - World of Warcraft (Levitate works, just get a slow fall buff that allows you to mount, then use levitate mid-air.) Nogg works too, just bring 5-6 stacks.

Epic ground mount

A form of self-resurrection, like reincarnate. You need this because when you land in Archeus, you take 100% Fall damage. If you're not a shaman, get a lock to soulstone you, it won't run out unless you take a long time (I'm not sure if it goes away if you drop group, so tell him to keep group with you). If you feel like gambling, you can buy a darkmoon card: Twisting nether. Bubble works too if timed right. Finally, if you have a DK friend who happens to be an engineer, you can have him try to shock you back to life with the gnomish army knife, or have a shaman friend go too, he can rez you.

being horde is a plus but not needed

Also, you need to use this macro to disconnect yourself.

/run if(not scm) then scm = SendChatMessage; end; function SendChatMessage(msg,type,lang,chan) scm("\124cFF00FFCC\124Hitem:19:0:0:0:0:0 :0: \124h" ..msg.. "\124h\124r",type,lang,chan);end;
/say DISCONNECT RISK: TRUE.

Method:

First, you must take the zep from Tirisfal glades to Howling Fjord, and then back again. Its important that you don't zone out of HF or Tirisfal besides using the zep.

Then, go to this spot:

and d/c yourself using the macro. It's important that before you do, get your method of slowfall on your bars, as you will start falling into a jump that will kill you once you log in. If your loading screens take a long time, consider taking your settings down.

You should then fall into Dragonblight, around here:

ALSO, ONCE YOU LAG OUT INTO NORTHREND, NEVER TOUCH WATER WITHOUT WATER WALKING

If you didn't, and you're still in tirisfal, go take the zep to HF and back to tirisfal and try again. I find that if dont change your gear once you get back to tirisfal and jumping before you d/c helps alot.

Keep walking until you reach a bridge (http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/143...1709210512.jpg).

Keep going until you reach the next location in this screenshot:

If you look above you, you will see Acherus without the building structure:

Climb up the path to the side until you get to this rock on the side of the mountain:

Face your character in this direction, your goal is to float above this little mountain that is marked in the above screenshot.

Slowfall and mount up, then slowfall towards that black circle. The tricky part about this is that you need to d/c when you are on top of the bottom level, which you can't see. A good marker is the portals used to go from the bottom and upper levels. Here is a screenshot of where i usually d/c:

(Special note to pallys, before you d/c, you can bubble, you will survive the mysterious fall damage that hits you, its tricky to time though)

If you do everything right, log back in and you should be dead in acherus. Reincarnate/soulstone and and enjoy freaking out DKs.

wow sounds good can anyone confirm this?

[imjaspar2]

nice ill go test it

[Kudu]

I will always wonder how people discover things like this... How??? lol

[izzywizzybuzy]

Can you do any of the quests?

[morten11]

is this confirmed?

[trevorm7]

I got far enough to see the npcs floating in the air, but didn't have a [Filled Festive Mug].

Trying now with one I sent from an alt.

Edit: When I use the dc with Divine Shield on it was gone when I logged back in, but I still had Forbearance.

[trevorm7]

Confirmed.

Made it there but died almost instantly when I logged in as expected. There might be enough time to use my bubble if I spam the hot key as I log in.

[xpression]

can you interact with npcs? would be huge because we could buy the dk mount from vendor

[trevorm7]

Bubble trick worked and I'm technically there...

But kind of stuck.


Made it. :P


Btw I bought the [Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade] but only Death Knights can learn it anyway, so it's useless.

[izzywizzybuzy]

Hi I made it as mage using slowfall and iceblock. All you can do is take the flight path. It adds the flight path to the flight path map but you cant actually use it. I tried flying to acherus from IF as well which also didnt work it says a path is not available.

[Lothe]

Nice one

[Hilner]

Since this got confirmed, i'll +rep x3

[chartgraves]

works like a charm

[sheepking]

Is this the instanced starting-area? If not I can also come there with my WoWInfinity^^
