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

[Zemsta]

Since there's no Auto-invite option for custom groups anymore, does anyone know if there's a way to make this work-
or
if there's any new method to using the same raid lockout every week? If so, please post the link if possible. Searched through the topics and found nothing relating this.

Thank you!

You can still create an LFG-group on your main, then log off and onto your alt and queue for your LFG-group. The group doesn't de-list for a while.

Log back into your main and accept the invite, then back to your alt.

Recently did this with Ulduar, got my Mimiron's head that way

If I remember correctly, it doesn't work for all raids. Dragon Soul doesn't work, for instance.

Thank you lilsniff!
Do you know if ToT does work still? And Mogushan palace or ICC?

Works for

- ICC (Lich King)
- Firelands (Ragnaros)
- Ulduar (Yogg-Saron)

Does NOT work for

- Mogu'shan Vaults (Elegon)
- Throne of Thunder (Horridon/Ji-kun)
- Dragon Soul (Ultraxion/Deathwing)
- Black Temple (Illidan Glaives)
- Sunwell (Kil'jaeden Bow) confirmed by lilsniff

Given that it partly works it makes me believe that it just got bugged and Blizzard never bothered to fix. Still this might change, it is worth checking after each patch - they often fix(or break) things without announcing.

Although off-topic, you can add Sunwell (Kil'jaeden) to this list. Last time I checked it did not work either.

Can anyone properly explain how this works? I'm in the same instance ID on my main and my alt but how do I get my alt to accept the lockout? It's not like BfA where it comes up when you enter asking if you wanna accept the lockout

Does this work for Mythic mounts like Hellfire Citadel?

[Zemsta]

Afaik, this method doesn't work for HFC nor BRF mythic. But those two raids have their own shortcut quests. By completing HFC shortcut you're able to start from Mannoroth (so only 2 bosses) and with the Blackrock Foundry shortcut you can get straight to Blackhand. You have to put some efforts (to complete these quest) but I think it's worth the time.

Still works in WOTLK raids, Took me awhile but I got it figured out.

Clear raid on NORMAL, make a custom group and log back and forth till both toons in same raid. Before joining group make sure raid is set to NORMAL/25 on the 2nd toon. Enter raid while original toon is still leader. once inside wait will lead passes, go outside and set to heroic and renter.

I created a new group for every toon.

Neither method works for ICC Heroic anymore, as of prepatch.

Similar methods still work with some other raids.

epic, hope Blizzard doesn't nerf/fix this, you can do it with 2 accounts or a friend anyway..

+rep

doubt they will change this since it has been a thing since WoD. I dont get how people is say "Nice find"... It is sooo old

Nope because those a raids with raid IDs. It works on normal and HC. For raids like ICC you have to clear up to LK on 25m norm and then on the other toon while inside set it to HC since LK HC does not require you to kill the former bosses on HC. That means the same trick wont work in Dragon Souls because DW HC requires all the other bosses being killed on HC and HC DS is on a lockout ID.
