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

[gazeire]

Cheers for this, took a few attempts to get ICC going but worked in the end.

ICC is a bit tricky. You need to make sure you are cleared up to LK in normal mode and the saved raid is for normal mode, then when you log on your other toon and he is in the group and everything, set the lockout to ICC 25 normal, zone in and accept the NORMAL lockout. Then, once inside, you can now switch it to heroic. But, you need to be saved to normal. I will make a note to make this more clear.

Ahhh thank you very much Sklug. Now it makes sense .
Thank you for clearing it out.

The tricky part was, that the guy in the video was doing Ulduar instead and there's no HC mode for that raid, so I guess that's why he didn't mention that the raid needs to be on normal diff.
Ohh well, at least now I know for the next week.
Thanks pal .

For people trying LK:
1. You done step with saved ID and other Char to farm in one Group
2. Go with Char to farm infront of the instance
3. Change to 25 Player
4. Move in the instance and then change to 25HC
5. Kill the Boss and Enjoy.

This is just super awesome, especially for me, people getting annoyed if you do this with 10 alts a week.

so just to clarify what I think I understand..

All the steps could be condensed to

"Invite an alt on your same account via LFG"

"Disband group before the boss kill"

Yeah ?

I understand the value of meticulous steps.. I do.. just sayin' ;-)

For like ulduar yes, for LK no.

Edit: There seems to be some confusion on what/how to clear these instances so your lockout sharing alt doesn't get saved.

For ICC, clear everything on 10 man NORMAL mode up to LK. So now you have a 11/12 lockout (or 10/12 if you skipped Valithria). Make sure the alt stays outside the instance, get the group together, and once you are on the character you want to kill LK on, fly to ICC and make sure it is set to 25 man NORMAL when you enter. You'll get the "This instance is in progress, 10/12 blah blah," press OK. Switch to 25 HEROIC and you get another notification. Press OK, kill LK, weep because Invincible didn't drop. The alt that shares lockouts will not be saved if you do this.

For Ulduar, clear everything on 10 man. 100x faster if you do this on a rogue since you can use the Shadowstep exploit posted here to skip everything after Kologarn and just kill Vezax immediately. So now you have a 4/13 or 11/13 lockout (or w/e, forget the number of bosses there are in there). Get the group together, and make sure the raid size is set to 25 man when you enter. You'll get the instance in progress notification, press OK, kill Yogg, weep because Mimiron's Head didn't drop again.

I have an issue where the Raid Size will not change, i got my Farm char in grp with the SAVED Char, but when i change the difficulty to 25man and log onto my unsaved char its 10man? trying for icc btw!

Sounds like you are clearing in Heroic mode? Saved toon should be clearing in NORMAL mode. Also, you don't need to adjust proper raid size until you are on the unsaved alt you wish to run through. Once you are in the premade group, with the saved toon offline, change the raid to ICC 25 normal, ZONE IN, then once you are inside you can switch it to ICC 25 heroic.

Your ordering in your explanation makes it sound like you change the raid size to 25 before you swap to the unsaved toon. This would not work. So, as long as you are saved up to LK on NORMAL, and you only adjust raid size on the unsaved toon, you will be fine.

well, if you do this with ulduar (since you cant change to heroic) even if you're saved id char is offline, he still gets the lockout for 25man, i dont know how to avoid that, maybe you have to kick the alt before you pull, but then you might get kicked after one minute.

someone tried something like that so I can use my saved ID for ulduar with 10 toons in one week?

Hrmm, you don't actually need to kick the offline toon from group. Just clear up to Yogg in 10 man normal, since that is fastest, then after setting up the premade group, before you zone in on the non-saved alt, set it to Uld 25, Zone in, accept lockout. Disband premade (not even necessary if you are going to be running a chain of raids on that alt).

Completely OT, but that's Details!, totally awesome new addon worth spreading word about to as many players as possible!

[riotlev]

no that does not work, i changed to 25 man, went in killed yogg, came back with different char, but now i have yogg active on the 10 ID but already killed on 25 ID

its weird, cause there is no heroic mode

I think you misunderstand man. A while back blizz changed how save IDs work. You don't get saved to 10 or 25 versions of raids anymore, blizz changed that. You get saved to boss fights. It makes zero sense to say 10 man raid ID still has yogg whilst 25 man raid ID doesn't. There is no such thing as 10/25 man raid ID anymore, there is just one raid ID (exception only to TOTC I believe).

Just follow the steps exactly and it will work. I ran through 9 alts in Yogg today (which I might add is a bit of a pain to solo for some classes due to the tentacles and constant stuns lol).

Any way this would work for a 1 boss raid, like Onynia's Lair? Since you can't really create a lockout there...
