Solo Rep Farming in Firelands till Honored?

[zorrotm]

In Firelands for the Alysrazor fight there are two birds. It is possible to mount one bird, point it at the other and kill it. If both birds aren't killed they will both respawn... You will gain rep from this at least until Honored. While this may be more educational and interesting then useful it is an exploit nonetheless. It however will require dieing... unless vanish or feign death and the likes work... so it may be a costly "farm" as well. Like I said, may not be overly useful but still an exploit.

How do you access the birds if there are 2 guards with 650k hp keeping them locked out, and at encounter start, they hit you for 50k fireballs.

Drink a redbull.

I only did it once and that quite by accident so I am open to others experiences... but I did it as rogue. Accidentally pulled while waiting for group to res (nobody was alive at this point because I had just vanished and everyone else wiped) and since my vanish was on cd I popped Evasion and sprinted to bird, was able to mount and ended up killing the other bird. Is nobody able to replicate this? I will have to try on my hunter with deterrence.

[Subcore]

Well, I have a rogue too. When encounter starts, I can't mount a bird, and 2 mobs are attacking me, I can't kill them fast enough. I couldn't mount the bird because it was marked as enemy.
I tried to vanish, but then everything comes back to way it was before.

[zorrotm]

I didn't vanish because it was on cd... and I suppose it glitched and allowed me to mount when I wasn't supposed to. But ill try my hunter by tomorrow and report back...

you have to click VERY high on the birds to get the mount arrow. i think this was the issue with mounting described by Sdolac.

However i have issue with something in the OP

hile this may be more educational and interesting then useful it is an exploit nonetheless.

Like I said, may not be overly useful but still an exploit.

[NO "USELESS"]

Im calling useless because the amount of rep you get per kill, having to die or wait out CDs, time involved getting to the mobs without pulling the instance. the time investment to reward ratio is nearly nil.
