Minor heirloom upgrade exploit

[Majino]

So this morning I ended up getting and heirloom ring from a ship mission.
I went to Ironforge to purchase the item to upgrade it to lvl 100.
The server was restarting soon, so I used it on the ring with less than 10 seconds left.
Right after I used the item, I was disconnected because of the restart.

This afternoon when I logged in, the ring was upgraded and I still had the item in my bag as well and was able to sell it back for a refund.

A free upgrade every week

this doesnt work

For him it worked, maybe it requires some tweaking. Great share tho!

[Majino]

It may be a timing thing. I literally did it RIGHT when the server went down.
I'll try again next week, could have been a fluke. Just wanted to share in case someone else wanted to try it.

If this works with other stuff that requires upgrading anything ( crafted weapon upgrades for example ) this might be really useful

[Majino]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing but was unsure if the upgrade items had a cast time.

The usual end-castbar before disconnect attempt to exploit
