Using the same raid lockout Every Week to farm rare mounts! No Second Account Needed!

[markons]

Last week i cleared on my alt Dragon Soul up to the Ultraxion so I could farm him. This week I didnt had an option to extend it. In other words save was gone. That kind of shit started to happen ever since my Rain information started to look like on the picture below. Sometimes scrolling down fix it but 90% of the time nothing happens... Before that screen shot was take i killed LK and Malygos but the save is not shown there. Does anyone know how to Fix this?

There is a workaround for this.
First use this Makro:

/run for i=1,GetNumSavedInstances() do n,id,_,_,active,extended,_,_,_,d = GetSavedInstanceInfo(i) print(n,d,id,active,extended) end

You are going to see all your instances in chat with the instance name, the instance ID as a number, if the ID is active or not (true/false) and if the ID is extended or not (true/false).
Then you will have to count which ID you want to extend, e.g. DS ID, which is displayed as the 4th ID in chat.
You then had to use this macro:

/run SetSavedInstanceExtend(4, true)

If it is e.g. ID 7 you want to extend, replace the "4" in this macro with "7".
You will get a message if your extension worked.
If you made a mistake and want to get your extension (here for ID 4) rolled back, use this macro:

/run SetSavedInstanceExtend(4, false)

Hope this helped


Btw. Is there any way to get this method to work with Firelands/Ragnaros?

[ShinjidaiNoKami]

Its probably the same way as the other raids. I will test it for firelands later and repost.

[markons]

Just tested it out, works like charm. But is blizzard going to fix it or not, its been like that for months now...

[ShinjidaiNoKami]

Well not anytime soon i guess. Its not like its that gamebreaking or important. It just saves time.

THX YOU A LOT !! Just got mine with this method, ofc it doesnt influence drop rate, but that was way much faster. No more ICC !!!!!!!!!!

im wondering if there was a change anytime recently with this?
I've tried to do this with BWL and AHN'quiraj and its not working.
I have more than one account. I invited other account to group, then made the toon I was going to farm on leader and left group.
if I try to go back in the instance now, I wind up in the same instance and will get a message that im going to get ported.
trying to reset instances doesn't work. If I kill on the farm toon. the other account doesn't show credit for a kill on that boss, but it still cant kill that boss it missed.
entering the instance will have that boss down.

I also tried to do this by the group finder tool as well with the same results

I just tested the usual ICC lockout that I use every week and can see no issues with it - I farm ICC on the same lockout each week with 4 farming toons.

Glad to be able to report nothing has changed as far as I can see

You can't use this method in raid instances prior to Wrath of the Lich King.

Does this method work with Siege of Ogrimmar Heroic?

Unfortunately it would not work on fighting the last boss over and over in SoO Heroic because you cannot kill the last boss unless you had killed every previous boss on heroic difficulty. This is why it works for something like Icecrown Citadel, because you can clear on normal all the way to the Lich King, then use the trick to get the ID to another toon, and swap it to heroic. Any dungeon that requires all previous bosses to be killed in heroic will not work. The ONLY exception to that rule is Dragon Soul because there is a trick here on the forums on how to still do Heroic Madness, even if you haven't kill the previous bosses on heroic that Blizz has never bothered to fix.
