Bag resets

[rr2109]

Ok so for most of MOP I have been using this exploit and figured I'd post it here as it still worked after 6.0.2. Currently any bags/boxes you have in your inventory before a patch are reset regardless of what you took out before it. I farmed about 40 big bags of linen before 6.0.2 and only left bandages in them and they all resat and have had unclaimed black market containers in my bags for over a year and the loot has changed with each patch landing me the pureblood firehawk. I haven't seen anything about this posted here but if it has been feel free to remove this. Besides that start farming bags like the ones from the townlonge steppes rares and just leave 1 junk item in each, buy lockboxes and remove just the gold etc.

Wish I knew about that before you posted it haha, +Rep anyhow!

lets hope when 6.1 comes out this also works

I tried this on several of my toons as it was posted a while ago, however none of them reset, some were in my bags, some in my bank, but regardless of where they were, none of the bags had different loot in them when I logged in last week

I also got Black market container in my 2 characters bags, ( PVP RING 522ilevel ) ( Blue drake ).
I still have them, and i got them over a year in my bags and nothing has changed.

So if I were to buy an unclaimed black market container, I'd have to put in a random trash item before i take the loot out?

You don't take the item out unless it's worth taking out.

Step 1. Win Blackmarket container
Step 2. DO NOT AUTO-LOOT IT, but open it and look at the loot instead.
Step 3. If it's a mount, something rare, worth gold, etc, loot it and GG. Continue to Step 4 if it's something you don't want.
Step 4. If it's something you don't want, close the box without looting the item.
Step 5. Repeat steps 2-4 after each patch

+rep to OP, you're a beast.

edit: I'm assuming it works with LFR loot bags, and similar. I'm definitely gonna try it with some stuff when servers go back up.

Definitely work. I had a Bling-o-tron prepatch gift on a reroll bag and when I opened it, it gave me Sky-bo (the new pet from Bling-o-tron).

I heard about this with the black market items, however I didn't know about the zandalari bags.

+1 this might be incredibly useful, permanent free gold every patch per bag you keep in your inventory.

Also might work for things like tiny treasure chest, and other gold-containing items.

Will carry this knowledge into Draenor and never autoloot a lootbag ever again.

It might work with LFR lootbags, but more often than not those lootbags are going to contain just gold and nothing else so this wouldn't be very useful considering each patch they make the previous patches normal gear redundant.

Just an idea, but this might also work on the filled pumpkin bag you recieve from headless horseman. So in case there's no mount inside, keep it until after patch
You might be more lucky then

The bag requires Hollows end, so it will disapear when the event is over.

Also, just to clarify, I had LFR bags, Black market containers, Big Bag of Zalandari supplies, Ghostiron Ore lockboxes and various other containers/bags across approx 12 toons and none of them had different items in them.

Just for getting them, yes. But you can open them after event tho. Would like to know where the difference lies between people that got it to work and others that couldn't reproduce this..?
Any suggestions?

[Ehnoah]

Will get fixed anyway so no need to wait for 6.1 (since its here now)

But Nice find + Rep

[never_healed]

wasnt this whole "bag items reset after patch" proven to be nonsense with 5.2 and 5.4?

[Fermie]

Haha, yes, they will disappear. I saved 8 bags on my paladin, and one week after hallows end THEY WERE GONE... Omg, i didn't even loot/checked them... -.-<----
Maybe i had a mount in those
