Fast skilling up Herb+Mining

[Blasph]

Wow really? You all are acting like this isn't a repost x50043003. This has been posted and reposted and reposted over the years of wow. it's VERY old and the fact you can "fly in azeroth" doesn't make it new.

Yeah and not everyone lives their lives looking on forums buddy, it's the first time i heard of this, even though it does sound pretty common knowledge.
I'm sorry for being one of those who didn't know of this before, but i live my life outside the house.

Can this be explained a little better please?
Thanks

+repped never heard of this before!

How does this work with skinning? When you skin a mob, it acts just like you're looting it again. If you don't pick it up, it stays on the body with the only option of looting it, if you loot it, the mob disappears

It was hot fixed for skinning.

You pulled 5 mobs togther, skinned them without looting. Then used the Skinning key from your proffessions tab.

Does the gathering/mining grant the character xp?

If it gives a skill point, it should also give xp

I tested this recently, when goin around ~5-6 nodes in circles you get the skillpoints almost everytime, however XP you get only on the first gather.

The fixed loot stays the same, it could be worth testing this on highlevel nodes with the Engeneering [Volatile air] drop chance item, as when it dynamically added those (read: not already in on spawn) it might reset aswell.

This trick is now obsolete for Skinning.
I do not know whether they have fixed the Herbalism and Mining counterparts fo the exploit but I know for a fact that the Skinning is not working anymore.

I'll try this in a second. Uhm, this would be an insanely easy way to level wouldn't it? How is the xp you get off mining/herbalism calculated?

Still working on EU server. Nice!! Tyvm!

EDIT: In fact, it is nerfed. You can use a node over and over until you've levelled once off it though. So if you have, say 5 green ore/herb nodes around, you can still use the exploit in order to gain 5 levels off em, when usually the chance of gaining 5 levels would be very slim.

This could come in handy for low level gather toons who don't wanna cruise an area without flying mount to farm what they're after.

Thank you nonetheless, I'll probably make some use of it in the future.


EDIT2: "/reload ui" and level again off em. LOL Blizz, weak.

Same probably goes for skinning. Try downing 10 mobs in one spot, all addons off for faster reloading. 10xskin, reload ui, repeat. Depending on how fast your box is, this might be a nice exploit even after the fix. I'm still curious how much exp this supplies.

[CronFlakes]

there was a kind of fix for this in early LK when the farmers would only pick out the minerals and left the junk. So Blizz made the node despawn after a minute or so of tapping it. Good advice though.

Been here 3 years and never knew. Sweet, +rep.

[porphyria]

will gladly give it a try , thanks
