[Release] Baron easy mount farming

[~sInX]

where's the pathway start?

[Iksf]

Did it 57 times to get the mount with no cheats after the drop rate increase

[malingshu]

no mounts are dropping~~

[Pwntzyou]

a gm banning you is not that big but (as of rumor) they can check to see your log and could see that you killed Baron without killing the ziggurat bosses.

They can see what bosses you have killed and the order you killed them in... if you magically killed baron 5x in a row without any other bosses, well then...

[toxicsnipe]

it took me about 150 runs to get it.

Ouch nice one ;> Thanks for contributing!

[Mrrgrrbl]

~90 runs, no mount yet -_-

Hehe lots of questions, not much answers. I've been exploring these forums for quite time, and google is good friend of mine. However, I still have no idea what to do with baron.MPQ

What I understood, I need to use Model Edit Fix to allow using modified files, but how do I attach this baron.MPQ to my original gamefiles? How do I drop through the floor and mount under the Stratholme, and how do I climb up through the wall at Baron's room?

I have never done anything like this. Which softwares are totally needed for this sweet tweak? Thanks in advance for your patience and replies.

edit: Well I downloaded WoWMe for 3.0.9, copied baron.MPQ to my World of Warcraft/Data/ -folder and renamed it to patch-baron.MPQ and then ran WoWMe (for 3.0.9) which launches my WoW-client, I hit F8 before logging in (nothing happens btw?) and when I enter my realm, nothing has been changed.

I'm not really good at this but try renaming your file to something like "patch-5.MPQ" or "patch-z.MPQ", nothing greater than 1 character anyways.

Also, I don't think you should be seeing anything special happening when you press F8, as it just "turns off" so to say.

Where does the entrance to the tunnel appear? I don't think it's working for me but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Make sure you go through the back door of Strat. Walk a little bit inside and it will take you under Strat, just follow the path and it will take you directly to Baron.

Wow. Actually this works for me now

For those who are still wondering how it works; I copied baron.MPQ to Data/ -folder and renamed baron.MPQ to patch-5.MPQ and then having Wowme.exe (for 3.0.9) in my Wow root directory. Run it, hit F8 before logging in, then log in, enter Stratholme dungeon and just on the first corner "swim" through the floor and drop down to the path, mount up, drive northwest and you should pop up at Slaughterhouse or the Baron's room.

This is awesome thing. Thanks. +REP

50 times and still going hopefullly ill get it

The edit is working as of patch 3.0.8.

You can download it here.

The zip folder is password protected. The password is “fr0hzn.com”
It contains 2 patches.

* patch-p.MPQ contains the stratholme edit
* patch-d.MPQ removes all doors from the game (not my work actually)

You will need the second patch to get out of the slaughterhouse after you’ve killed the baron.
I recommend you to enable both patches just when you’re farming the baron. There are some bugs in cities where you get stuck in air. So just disable them during normal play.

Good luck

Its amazing, +rep author!, 15 runs so far, nothing but alot of blues

[rimalah]

362 runs so far in WotLK.. 0 Deathchargers for me.

Got the epic blade though, not what I was looking for.. :P

Though I'm so happy to skip those minibosses with the help of OP, but can't understand some unnecessary glitches like Auction house block? Oo
