[Hunter (3.2)] Mount Hyjal Exploration

[VJTD3z]

Forgive me if my post isn't up to this community's standards -- first post.

I've been exploring for a while, whether it be by following MMOwned guides/posts or finding my own ways to things I've never heard of (but I'm sure have been posted on here). I read a post on Wowhead that explained chain-casting Eagle Eye through the use of a macro, and that immediately made me think: Hyjal.

What you'll need to see into Hyjal:
-A hunter of a satisfactory level (think Winterspring, it's the easiest spot).
-Eagle Eye learned (might also work with shaman Farsight, but I have yet to test this)
-Patience, as usual.
-The macro:

/cast !Eagle Eye

The guide:

Stand somewhere near the Winterspring/Hyjal mountain border. Close enough to hit the mountain would be satisfactory, but realize that Eagle Eye is limited in range, despite its in-game tooltip.

Example (my favorite spot)

1. /cast Eagle Eye (or use the button on a bar or spellbook)

2. Aim up toward the top of the mountain that you can see.

3. Move your cursor slowly downward until you're able to cast the spell. Make sure that's not a tree, those are a pain.

4. Finally cast the spell. If you landed on a mountain side, great. If you landed in a tree, jump/move to kill the Eagle Eye. If the cast fails, return to step 1.

5. Use the macro in the box above. Keep this on your bar, you'll be using it for the remainder of the exploration.

6. Cast the macro at a spot on the mountain above you. -- Continue this until you can see the inside of Hyjal.

6 NOTE: Be sure not to cast too far away from the Eagle Eye's location, that can break it. It also appears that the Eagle Eye is killed once you reach a certain distance away from your character.

7. Cast Eagle Eye to move around. Do not jump/move/do anything that would involve your character. That will break the Eagle Eye channeling.


The main reason that I found this method as very useful is that you do NOT get ported out of Hyjal by No Man's Land because your character technically isn't there. You don't discover the zone. You don't enter the zone.

I'm fairly certain that this is not a repost. I've searched and searched, then used the nice little "similar thread" feature. From that feature alone, I don't see how the majority of these reposts can exist.

I don't plan on becoming a regular poster here. I just decided that this was epic enough to have to share with the community that's helped me a bit. If I find anything as intriguing, though, I will post it.


Edit log:

Note: I'll have to get 2 more posts, I can't seem to upload my pictures as attachments.

Found a couple of topics I was meaning to post on, but never logged in for. I guess that works.

1 - Added "reason" line.
2 - Attempted to update post. Did not have enough posts for my picture links. Pictures wouldn't upload, either.
3 - Edited the attempt in after achieving my posts.
4 - Added this edit and the above 3 edits to the log.
5 - Forgot a picture. Edited in.

This is not what exploration is about.
