Quick Molten Core Entrance (Small exploit, may be a gateway to other exploits)

[patricide]

While on my paladin, i decided to go to Molten Core to see if i can get one of those new pets that they added in 5.1. I am not attuned on this toon, so i had to go in the long way. Because I did Molten Core and BRD on 3 of my other toons, i entered too many instances at the time. To kill time I went outside of BRD, went to hand in the attunement quest. While i waited for the timer to expire, I was bored and swam in the lava. Pressed up against the wall below the blood elf male that gives you the quest for Molten Core attunement, to the right (facing where the blood elf is facing) where the wall and lava meet, I saw a loading screen for Molten Core, and got teleported to it. I'm not sure how this can be helpful, unless you want to save a few minutes on a not attuned character and just skip to the raid, because if you are attuned, you could just talk to the blood elf and get ported to Molten Core.

(Theory) Possibly there are more glitches like this that can bring us to other raids, possibly even old ZG/Naxx?

Could you link a picture or two, please?

I'll put a video or picture up of it tomorrow, i need to go drive to my brother's to watch his kids. I'll probably end up staying there overnight.

This is as old as Molten Core itself, if you jump through the window instead of talking to Lothos, you'll get sent to the Molten Core.

Literally has been around for years, hah.

Yeah thats been the portal since Vanilla.

Thought i'd just go ahead and save everyone the time to do the honors of uploading it.. It's the window in the right of the picture.

^^ this... you are talking about the small hole or window in the wall next to the npc correct? If so that is how I always zoned in

This was the real "leap of faith" back in those days.

Working as intended.

This was new news to me, thanks

Sorry, this thread like the previous one 3weeks ago, is the same. Repost of a known information.

The "lava" thing is obviously because that is the REAL speed entrance to molten core since it's opening.
The elf standing there were added later in the game for new players to zone in without knowing how to.

There are still long time players who don't even talk to this gayish elf to rush MC from times to times


Ps : Nowadays, if you didn't knew about this entrance, i can understand that this could be misleading

The window was to get in when you were dead, the elf has always been there afaik ( also to get the quest ). He was not visible when you were dead.
Also, when you were lagging it failed and you died in the lava
