Fly and Use Abilities Without A Mount (Northrend)

[zeplo]

Hi, first time poster long time lurker here.
I was recently flying through Northrend only to find myself able to fly use abilities at the same time!
It's actually a very simple process

Fly into Wintergrasp from the Borean Tundra, it only seems to work when coming in from the Borean Tundra (I may be wrong)

This will also only work if when zoning into Wintergrasp you are affected by the Noggenfogger Elixer, skeleton form. (haven't tested with other transformations) You don't need the transformation to stay in the glitched mode, just to enter it.
You are also able to fly inside buildings you would normally not be able to.
This will not work in any other continent.

Good luck and have fun
Edit: Recently tested with the RAF Obsidian Nightwing mount, I was reduced to 110% speed, but still able to fly. Other mounts will give you normal flying speed.

So just fly into wintergrasp while being a skeleton? And then what? Dismount? Stay mounted?

I used a noggenfogger and had 2 buffs, small and skeleton and I couldnt do anything while being mounted. Dismount and mount again had the same usual error message.

Just fly into Wintergrasp as a skeleton, on your mount. It will auto dismount you but you'll still be flying.

How can you mount with skeleton transformation?

@lashthebest
It is now allowed, as of this most recent patch. Go ahead, try it

You only get dismounted when the battle is in progress. At any other time you can keep flying. You might want to edit your first post accordingly.

I'm trying to test it now but i can't get the skeleton buff with the elixir, only the slowfall (after more than 40 elixir driked!), can someone tell me why?
Is Blizz maybe working to fix it so have disabled the buff? (EU Server)

[azza]

same thing is happening to me every noggenfogger i drink is slowfall (US servers)

[gurluas]

Maybe another transformation works?

[Zazs]

Noggenfogger is bugged as of today. They are looking into that.

Actually, you may want to test things before you post. As you sir are incorrect.

Just to bump this up and confirm that with Noggenfoggers restored to their proper use, this does still work.

+ rep, confirmed working. I popped Noggenfogger while I was in the Borean Tundra, flew on my Ironbound Proto-Drake into Wintergrasp and was auto-dismounted even though the battle wasn't on again for another hour but as soon as I was dismounted I was floating with 451% flight speed and was able to use all of my abilities while floating. Excellent find!

One problem I'm having with this exploit is when you zone out of WG while floating your speed drops back to 110%

*edit* only lowers it during battle zoning out.

*edit2* does not work taking boat to Stormwind or Zep to Org

I noticed the same, so I mounted on my Proto drake and then dismounted and my speed stayed at 451% outside of WG
