Increased chance at galleon mount:

[CMCarries]

As we all know, the galleon mount is very attractive; VERY attractive. But it's extremely rare. I have a little trick that I use before trying for it.
1) First I run ToES LFR and try to chain as many fail coins in a row; 2-4 is optimal.
2) Then I look at galleons loot table for [insert class here]; In my case a shaman, and look to see which has the least amount of available loot. For me its resto,
3) Then I go that spec and kill the boss
4) When you roll the coin, based on how many failed coins you have had a spree of, you will have a very high chance of loot, and the fewer available options, the higher the chance of getting that beautiful mount.

Note: I did this to get the Sha mount and Galleon mount, and will be doing it for Oondasta and Nalak!
I Hope this guide helped you guys; I know its not an exploit, but it's a nice little trick I use and I wanted to share with you guys!

[Devestation]

then why post it in exploits?

[Lejes]

It isnt 5.3 yet.. so this is just a theory.

Got the Oondasta mount while back, now I am thinking and you are right, I was disc priest @ that fight and had also alot failcoins and I got the loot with a coin.

Bad luck streak protection is not enabled yet...

QFT ... and more of a guide than an exploit.

"I know it's not an exploit"

posts it in exploits.... o.0?

This is clever use of game mechanics.... nothing more, not to mention that you're talking about exploits on the PTR.....

[fearfart]

So this is in fact not viable? or is there already some *other* form of streak protection active on 5.2?

[Leonim]

badluck streak ain't in the game yet

[TehVoyager]

Not an exploit

5.2 is not active yet, so the Failcoin streak protection is not yet active.

this isnt even clever use of game mechanics. this is just stacking the odds in your favor.

imho move to wow-general as this isnt even fleshed out enough to be a guide.

1. No theories
2. Roll Fail protection isn't in the game yet.
3. This won't work, world bosses give spec specific loot regardless of what gear you have (you can receive the same item more than once)

You mean 5.3 is not active yet. And stacking the odds in your favor, if this works in 5.3 is active, would most certainly be clever use of game mechanics. Deff a guide tho.


@OP. Most certainly a theory since the patch isn't even live yet. And claiming that it worked for you kinda robs you of cred.

He obviously means if you keep losing rolls, youll have a better chance at getting loot.

[Ckala]

lol, how can i keep losing rolls???
