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

Thanks for this post. I just wanted to add that your SAVED char can set up multiple raid lockouts and share them with each alt. By that I mean I used my 90 rogue to setup both LK and Yogg (using Shadowstep glitch) lockouts. From there, I grouped like in the OP, set to 25, zoned in to Ulduar, accepted lockout, killed yogg, ran over to ICC, accepted lockout, set to heroic, and then killed LK all in like 10 minutes. So if you're gonna sac one alt, load him up with lockouts and run all the raids at once with your non-saved.. just be mindful of the heroic setting(s)

for the second time my character whose ID I used got saved to LK HC aswell, after doing this neat trick.

All I can say is you are missing a step, not doing it right. I ran my army of alts again this week and it worked just fine, as have others who have posted here. LK is tricky. There are exact steps to follow in the OP in regards to ICC and many people have erred in the way they have followed them. The correct way to do it is to clear up to the LK in normal mode. NORMAL MODE. If you go into ICC in heroic mode it will not work and will save your toon with the ID. You can clear all the way up the LK in ICC 10 NORMAL!!! If you want to clear in ICC 25 normal that is fine as well, but you have to clear 100% of the dungeon in NORMAL mode up to the LK. Then, once you have cleared up to the LK on normal mode, on the toon that you want to share the ID with and get the LK kill, you do the steps to create the LFG group and so on, THEN, when you are ready to go and you HAVE NOT ZONED IN YET, and your "saved" toon is in your group and offline, then you change the raid settings to ICC 25 NORMAL!! Then, you zone in... you get the popup to accept the ID, you click yes. Now that you are inside the instance with the saved ID and the raid is set to ICC 25 Normal, THEN you can change it to heroic mode. Then you kill the LK. If you do not do it in this exact order, you will save your alt.

Pretty much everyone I have chatted with that struggled to get this to work was not following these steps exactly. Ulduar is different because there is no normal and heroic modes. ICC is just special in the way that it saves you to the heroic instance immediately when you go into ICC on heroic... you just can never be on heroic mode until you are on the unsaved toon and inside ready to kill LK and only then do you swap it to heroic. Hopefully this helps make it more clear.

ez spets

1. Log main and clear ICC till LK on 25 Normal
2. Create custom group
3. Log Alt and Sign Up (use auto accept when creating custom raid on main)
4. Fly to ICC with alt and enter
5. Log main and make alt leader (of just w8 till ur alt becomes leader)
6. From alt enter ICC on 25N , when inside accept save and change to 25HC

Done

Works all the time

I dont understand how people fail to understand this :P

Doing the Lk one works like a charm but for the Ulduar nto so much.

Clear through general in 10 man
create a lfg custom group
Log over to alt, join group
wait until I have lead on alt switch to 25 man
zone in and kill
Works great the first alt
When I got to repeat on a second alt after switching to 25 man says yogg is down
Where did I mess up?

Thanks

The way you mention your steps seems odd to me and makes me think you are not doing it right. The LFG custom premade is started on the toon that is not yet saved, the toon you want to share the lockout with. So, you make the LFG group on the non-saved toon, log back to your saved toon and then join the group. Assuming you checked the box "auto-invite" when you setup the group, you should be able to accept the invite immediately. Then, you will see your alt offline. The alt that is offline is the "non-saved" toon. Log back over to that alt, and you should be ready to zone in. Change it to Uld 25, zone in, and you should be good to go.

This exact same procedure needs to happen with each alt. For efficiency, I'll usually run 1 alt through Ulduar then fly him to ICC and run that. Then, you need to disband the group and start over on the 2nd toon. Again, start the LFG on the new alt and unsaved toon, log back to your original saved toon with the kill still left, and blah blah blah repeat the steps. Just go back over the steps 1 by 1. It's honestly really easy to miss something. GOOD LUCK!

Could that work with SoO Mythic?

Would it be possible to clear the instance up to endboss on normal/or heroic 10 man or 25man and then switch to mythic the next week to kill endboss/ mythic Garrosh?

Before Cata u had 2 tipes of save . 1 on normal and 1 on HC
Since then u cant kill last boss on HC/Mythic only if u cleared rest on the same dificulty.
You could transfer save to a diferent char but that save has an ID so the second you kill last boss or any boss in that raid the ID of the raid changes. So both of ur chars ... saved or not get saved.

I hope i explained my self correctly.

For example if u go with randoms on Mythic SOO and u leave on last boss but they kill that boss u automaticaly get saved to.

I'm not sure if i did this right... + I'm little confused about the farm/saved character... becaue you have to clear the instance with the saved character and kill it with the farm character - according to his steps... what if you can't kill the boss with the "farm" character??

i did it this way and i would like to know if it worked:

1: cleared DS 10nm with my main toon lvl 100.
2: did all the LFG group stuff and got my lvl 90 twink into the instance and was asked to accept 7/8 ID. i clicked on 7/8 ID, but still wasn't saved. OP refered this lvl 90 twink as "farm" character... Am i supposed to kill the boss now with my lvl 90 ?! would not make sense...
3: what i did now was changing to difficulty from 10nm to 10hc (which is not needed for any mount drops) and now i was saved for this ID. + i extended the lock out (all on my lvl 90 twink)
4: i logged back on my main and cleared the instance on 10nm.
5. my lvl 90 twink is still saved for 10hc and i think i can kill him next week but i'm don't know if i'm able to extend the lockout again.

i think i have to clear with my lvl 90 twink, than switch to main, kill on hc and extend on twink

The whole point of this "exploit" is to farm the mounts from last bosses on as multiple chars as posible in 1 week with the smallest effort.

You clear with main till last boss, then log alt and kill last boss, log a nother alt and kill him again, log a nother alt and kill him once more ... and so on .... then u can log main and kill it with that to so next week u only have to clear with 1 char till last boss, or you can just expand the save so next week you just kill the last one.

" i think i have to clear with my lvl 90 twink, than switch to main, kill on hc and extend on twink "
YES.

Did anyone try ToES (Terrace of Endless Spring) / Mogu Vault?

I can't get it work. Any workaround for them?

[freeloading]

This won't work for earlier raids like BC/Vanilla ones like Black Temple, Hyjal, etc cause I would like to farm pets mostly
