    Repeated steps 2-3 with another character. It said the raid was 9/9 with all bosses cleared.
    The raid lockout on my initial character still says 8/9.

    So I could not get this to work as of wednesday.
    Unfortunately it doesn't work on Black Temple or any of the Vanilla/TBC raids due to how raid IDs work and were changed when WOTLK rolled out. I will make a post on the front page to make it more obvious. Thank you for clarifying though!

When I extend the lockout for next week it says something like 13 days left. Now next week rolls around and it says 6 days left and the extended lockout is still active. If I try to remove it, the raid ID expires. Also I still have to enter the raid on my saved character so my alts don't enter a fresh raid, even while in the same group
    Well there seems to be the problem, because you enter with the character holding the lockout. Seems you do something wrong here
    Even if it was explained multiple times, let me explain you what i do in short words:
    1) login win the alt you want to farm (this alt has NO id, nothing extended) <-- this is the group leader
    2) create a group in lfg tool and check auto invite
    3) log onto the character holding the lockouts, make sure the ids are extended and join your own group using lfg tool
    4) relog onto the alt (group leader) you wanna farm
    5) leave lfg tool (not your group), make your way to the raid(s)
    6) before entering make sure you set the difficulty to NORMAL and kick realmhopper from the group (there is a chance a realmhopper already cleared the raid you want to clear)
    7) have fun and repeat with other toons

    Last but not least, it sounds weird when you write 13 days left since the wow "week" got only 7 days but starts at wednesday (EU). So if you login at wednesday, its kinda impossible that a raid id is still active.
    Hopefully you did something wrong and this will help you farming the raids properly.

    I tried it with 4 chars, didn't want to waste more IDs. It doesn't matter whether I try it with a shared normal ID or a fresh per toon created one. Deathwing despawns as soon as you do the Heroic-Trick and wont respawn aka ID is corrupted.
    The raid ID is not corrupted In that case just move out the raid, set back to normal mode (even if it stands at normal mode), reset instances button and re-enter.
    This worked for me EVERY time.

    Do you have to reset the instance at any point? Found this video through reddit, and it seems like people are having, or had trouble with this method, unless you pressed "Reset instance", which I do not see mentioned here?

    No, no need to reset instance at any time. The other person was talking about the old DS 25 heroic exploit to clear on normal, but still kill on heroic, which has been fixed. If you try the exploit now it just bugs out the fight and you have to zone out and reset instances. However, that is now unrelated to this exploit.

    With this exploit, just follow the steps exactly as stated on the OP, and you should have no issues. I just did an ICC run right now for 3 alts using my extended ID from the previous week on the toon that carries the IDs and I can confirm, as of August 23rd, this exploit still works.

    Is this something you can get banned for? Has anyone gotten banned for this? It's extremely handy for ICC and it would save me so much time, but I would hate to lose my whole account.

    What do you mean by extended ID? I presumed you would have to clear at least once a week with one char.
    Don't just say thanks, click thanks!

    An extended ID is when you have a raid lockout, such as everything dead in ICC except the Lich King, then after reset, you extend that lockout so that you can continue to use it.

    It typically looks like this:

    - Reset rolls around.
    - Go into your saved instances (Social tab -> Raid Tab -> Raid Info button)
    - Find the expired raid ID
    - Click it to select it
    - Click the "Reactivate Raid Lockout" button
    - Enjoy using your old lockout

    Keep in mind that you only restore the lockout on the character who won't be completing it. The goal is to always have a character with only the Lich King up on normal, then by using this thread's method, joining that lockout on other characters and then swapping it to heroic 25 (on the other characters) for the kill.

    This trick does not work with Dragon Soul. It does work, and I use it every week, for ICC, FL and Ulduar.

    You are not going to get banned for this. You can do the same thing, and have been able to do the same thing with 2 accounts for years. With the introduction of the LFG tool, it allowed you to no longer need a friend or a separate account is pretty much it, making your life significantly easier.

    The reason it does not work with Dragon Soul is because you need to clear every boss heroic to do Madness heroic. If you are farming a boss on "Normal" it does work.

    No, it does not worth with Dragon Soul because of how the raid id is set up by Blizzard. I have tried dozens of times and it will not work. It simply does not work.

    I am sorry, but this is not accurate. I literally just tried it myself and it worked. Remember, it ONLY works on normal mode Raid IDs. If you are trying to used or share heroic raid IDs, it will not work. If you are extending normal IDs, it works just fine. Of course, in DS, that is mostly useless if you are trying to farm the last mount on madness because it requires Heroic for it to drop. Meaning, you have to clear every single boss in heroic to do madness heroic. But, if you are extending NORMAL 10 or 25, like if you are farming Ultraxion normal, it saves just fine.

    How do I keep extending this raid lockout if I can only remove it? People on here are saying you can keep extending the lockout on the same character, but from what I'm seeing, that is impossible.
