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

[Sklug]

Is there any way to speed up the progress because i always have to wait for my logged off toon to give me groupleader to put in on heroic. If i accept lockout and leave grp, i get ported out of the instance.

Hrm, never noticed this issue. Don't you retain lead since the toon you are trying to kill the boss on is the one that creates the LFG group to begin with?

wait no, im making the lfg group with the toon that has the 10/11 icc id. then i log to the toon i wanna kill the boss with and join the group, hence, i dont have lead. i always have to wait until the lead gets given to me after the logged off is offfline for 5minutes or something.

or do you make the lfg with the toon you wanna kill the boss with, then invite the toon with the id? im confused

Ya, re-read the instructions. Make the group with the toon that is not saved yet. That will hopefully resolve your issues

Thanks again to OP - got Invincible this morning. best bit was I didn't even notice till I was emptying my bags in Dalaran - the FOS only pops up when you click on the reins

Because i need the shaman "secret"set and it's boring to do all those boss each weeks

Been using this method on ICC for a few weeks with no issue. How ever I can't for the life of me get it to work on Firelands. Everytime I get to Rag on Heroic, he doesn't spawn...

Edit: Mount dropped for me right after I post this, so never mind haha

It should be noted that the reason it doesn't work on heroic FL is that you need to kill every boss on heroic to get Rag to spawn on heroic. This trick does not work with saves. It works in a place like ICC because you can clear all the way to LK on normal, then switch it to heroic. You cannot do this for any dungeon that requires full heroic kills to get final boss to spawn heroic. What this means is that essentially any raid since I think maybe DS during the Cata expansion this will not be effective, unless someone figures out a trick to get the heroic boss to spawn even when you cleared normal (there used to be a working exploit in DS for this but Blizz fixed it around 6.2 I think).

Unfortunately it will not work in SOO because you cannot get final boss kill on heroic unless you kill every previous boss on heroic.

You have 2 options, convert it to raid before you log over so there is still room for you, then kick everyone when you log back except for your "saved" toon. Or, just don't allow auto-invites. This will require you to log back and forth an extra time though, as is done in the video.

You could try to sign up the group for the skirmish category (3vs3), I guess the most "auto-join" addons don't search inside that category.

An interesting note regarding the auto-accept method - If you leave an LFG group open long enough and the leader is offline for long enough, it will automatically give leader to the next person that joins.

So the reason why I find that useful is that when I join the group on an alt, I un-check auto invite, but leave the group listed. After the run, I start the logout, then at 5 seconds left (time doesn't really matter), I re-check auto invite, then leave the group.

So it lets me just hop on my next alt, instantly get leader, then adjust the size and difficulty without having to wait for leader to pass. It also saves me the time of having to re-create the group. Just make sure that you don't enter it on Heroic. Of course, it does have a drawback. If someone joins within the 10-30 seconds it takes you to log onto the next alt, they'll probably delist the group.

It won't work on ToT due to the way the raid lockout works in that expansion, sadly in regards to requiring heroic kills of all bosses to be able to do the final boss on heroic. In ICC it was cool cause you could clear ICC 25 in normal mode, then swap it to heroic just for LK. Once Cata came out essentially all raids to get heroic final boss you needed to clear all previous bosses on heroic, and it has stayed that way with all subsequent expansions. There used to be a cool trick to clear DS on normal, so this trick worked on DS, and then you could glitch it to still clear Madness fight on heroic. Blizz fixed it like patch 6.1 or something like that though, sadly. Haven't seen any other tricks since.
