stop with the "move to elite" crap.
That being said, elite discussions require 325 rep, legendary discussions is 600 rep... the elite exploits/elite guides etc can be reached by donating, the others can't

MOVE TO ELITES NOOW PLEASE. Good find +5rep. If this actually works it will probably be fixed in no time so I wouldn't bother wasting time on it :P

I thought it was a 100% drop for alchemists at high enough skill? Ive done over 300 tol'vir solves now without getting the recipe, not having alchemy, and my brother will full alchemy got it on first jar

I thought you needed alchemy to be able to loot it...

You can ONLY loot it with alch, hence why it is a zero percent drop chance for you.

And no, the loot chance of the vial of the Sands recipe is still something like only 5% chance on a Canopic Jar. Your brother got EXTREMELY lucky to get it on his first one. It is absolutely NOT 100% drop chance for something with Alchemy that's at high enough lvl and raising your alch does not increase your chance.

Honestly, it's RNG (getting a canopic jar to solve vs other artifacts) x RNG (drop chance) which is what really makes it such a long grind. It is a little better now with the mantid device or else previously it was RNG x RNG x RNG.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble here, but I have been doing this since WOTLK in order to get the Reins of Blue Drake from Occulus bags and further did it to get the Halloween 85 items from the 80 chests and as the OP posted... canopic jars...

This worked for over a year back in the old days, but unfortunately Blizzard did nerf it, it could have been re-introduced since but this has been fixed for a very long time and I doubt they have caused this to happen again.

That's the whole point man. In my OP I acknowledged that this is from a very old trick that Blizz supposedly fixed. Thus people haven't been trying. However, with Canopic Jars it appears to work.

So, it is one of two things... it is a unique to canopic jars bug that blizz missed, or the loot container resetting to some extent has snuck back into the game.

[lolilolilol]

This is just a repost ALL container reset by default when new patch hit. Blizzard fix some container but i have see this exploit posted 10 times with a different container..

I'm gonna try it with the zandalari bags. And will update on may 21.

[Sliptree]

Confirmed. Stuck all bags with only gold in them in the bank and checked them today. Several had Blood Spirits and one had a flask, which weren't there before.

This worked great. Stored 35 pet bags as well as loot bags from LFR and World Bosses. Got triple gold in most, epic boots and the I got 3 various pet battle stones and 4 pets. +rep

Put 4 different bags in my bank 2 days ago, and after todays patch I tried reopening them. Beleive it or not, it worked! Got new loot! Seems to work after any major restart (hotfix or patch).

The bags tested were:
Daily JC Research Bag
Serpent's Heart bag
Greater Cache of Treasures
Tank reward bag from random HC

If this works with the new BMAH random item bags, this is ****ing massive.

+rep to OP

(you must spread some reputation before giving to x again)

I think this got me a 72 hour ban as a fyi. It's the only exploit I've done other than the Deepholm disable CRZ. I had 40 bags in my bank that I was saving till after the patch.

It worked beautifully though! Got a ton of extra gold, pets and items.
