[6.0.2] Flying to/on Azuremyst/GM Island/Ghostlands

[Hazzbazzy]

Hi all,

I've been wanting to do this for a long time and I've never really had time; by using displacer beast at end-game walls it's possible to bypass ALL of the walls both on the way in an out of a zone. As a result, it's possible to both fly to (Online) and fly around (Offline) places like Azuremyst Isle, Ghostlands, and most likely GM Island (untested). I do owe credit to allkazar on the forums for highlighting that blink worked to pass the walls in another thread (http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...ml#post3261168 (Possible GM structure in Northrend))

In terms of classes eligible to do this, you need a teleport spell and an instant mount. As a result, Druids are the easiest to do this on (displacer beast + flight form with glyph). However, it may also be possible to do it as aMage with the Halloween event broomstick, as that's instant. Additionally, if you activate Offline Mode at the point I do, every time you log into your character you will receive a "World server is down" error and GM will have to move your character to make it playable once again.

Here's some extremely raw footage from about 1AM, proof of concept if anything else.



DC Macro:

/run for v=1,500 do for i = 1,GetNumFactions() do SetWatchedFactionIndex(i) end end

*FFS was used in this video for directional purposes (not required)

Nice video. Thank you for share. But i think u cant reach GM Island with this method. When u bypass some of invisible walls then u just fall down and u get disconnected and world server is down error message. They fixed it. It was working for patch 5.0.3 - 5.1.0

Anyway +rep for u

I will try it, but I can't see the walls being any different to the ones in this video.

IIRC This worked awhile ago for GM island but then they made a no mount zone after a few walls.

What about glider + DP? How far does the no-fly zone go?

It starts after a few walls and never ends. I'm not sure on how many walls though. You would be gliding almost the whole way to gm island while blinking through walls on the glider.

Well, as far as I know past the first few walls there's no height limit; I'd need a couple of gliders but I'm guessing it's possible If I'm high enough.

Good Stuff
I didn't fly to GM island lately (since Wotlk actually). But considering the distance from Kalimdor to GM Island, you wont find a place even remotely high enough to even think about gliding there or say.. half of the distance. But I also dont know when said other walls come into play. Also to add something to your post, as a mage with blink you can probably also Ice Flows + Mount. I didn't test it but I think there is no need for an instant mount, for mage atleast.

There was a great old thread here on OC about flying from Tempest Keep to Eversong Woods:
http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...dnt-exist.html (Slow Fall from Tempest Keep to Eversong Woods (if the Blue Wall didn't exist))

That thread inspired me to release my Halloween Broom / GM Island video (Oct 2011):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgS_XUKhA_0

Three days after I released that video, Blizzard changed it so you couldn't mount in most Unknown zones (such as the Unknown beyond Teldrassil's end-game walls).
I was under the impression that this was still the case, and was why Druids weren't doing this sort of thing the moment Displacer Beast was added.
Your video shows differently. I must spread my reputation before giving again to The Hazzinator.
Very interested in this thread. Curious to see where this all goes...

In terms of finding height, I'd just blink past the first end game wall and fly up for about 30 minutes; the only problem I'd have then would be finding my way
Edit: I'd also love to see if it were possible to fly from Ashran to Temp-JT as a Druid

Does it still works?

Not tested this patch, but I see no evidence as to why it wouldn't.

is this on private server or retail

is this on private server or retail

...retail. Quite clearly retail.

Unless it's stated otherwise or very clearly isn't retail, then explorations here will almost always be on retail.

Exploring on private servers isn't really the same and kinda defeats the purpose of the 'adapt to survive' nature of exploration.

Unless of course you're doing so in order to explore areas that no longer exist - that's totally understandable. I'd give a lot to go back to some of the old haunts from the pre-Cata days.

Better get looking for another way to the Second/Other world then :P
