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

[zirocks]

OMG... I got it to work and cleared Ragna with all my alts -no mount. I wanted to clear Ragna with my "main" also and surprise, surprise... Pureblood Fire Hawk is mine. No more Firelands!!!

Need to try those 25man raids on next week. Let's hope that I'll get them to work also. Thx guys for your help!

How did you get it to work in Firelands ?

This shouldn't work in Firelands. Maybe he got lucky and got it on his first kill, is the only explanation I can think of.

Of course it works in Firelands, you don't have to kill Ragnaros in HC for the mount.

Well nice, for some reason I thought I always remembered it being a heroic only drop, but I just looked it up on Wowhead and confirmed it drops in normal! TY!

Tried to do the heroic switch on Madness of Deathwing on four different characters and I couldn't get it to work. The fight triggers but Deathwing just fades away instantly. It used to work almost all the time for me, seems like they've fixed it

I used it for Elegon and Ultraxion yesterday, works fine.

I was using this method for months to farm the rare mounts. For deathwing i was using the macros to "accept" the fight and set it to heroic in one step.
It worked like 99% of the time but since the legion prepatch, it looks like it was fixed somehow. Everytime i tried, deathwing fades away after a second
Anyone else experiencing this behavior?

macro for 25hc e.g.:
/click StaticPopup1Button1
/run SetLegacyRaidDifficultyID(DIFFICULTY_RAID25_HEROIC)

I just went and ran uduar on 5 chars with my alts lockout using this system and it seems the same gear keeps dropping? is loot determined with the lockout ID?

That was the case years ago in early BC but Blizzard changed that a long time ago. Can anyone else confirm this? May open up other exploits e.g. selling guaranteed mount drops.

No its not the case. Today i finally got my mimirons head on the thrid char. Therefore it cannot be the same loop for all chars.

Can also confirm different loot is dropping as normal.

Not the biggest batch with only 2 chars, but I think I can confirm this one

I cannot get this to work any longer. Once I complete the raid it saves the lockout, regardless if I used the proper procdure.

I just tried it in Ulduar and it worked just fine. Maybe you can give details on which raid this happened. Of note, if you try to clear a dungeon on heroic, you get a heroic ID and this will not work. You need to farm to the desired boss in normal mode. Then, when you swap to the toon you wish to share the ID with, only change the mode to heroic once the toon phases into the raid.

This is why this trick only works on a limited number of raids since many raids you cannot do last boss heroic unless you also clear all the earlier bosses on heroic too.

Just gave this a shot a few days ago after not using it for months and it didn't work for ICC.

Lockout alt appears to be saved to 11/13 H25 with LK alive, but my other characters who join that lockout automatically have the LK dead. I'll give it another shot later today.
