Best way to use elixir of Ancient Knowledge

I went from 57 to 75 with 1 Elixir of Ancient Knowledge today and couldn't find any posts about this method so i figured I'd share.

What you need is an Elixir of Ancient Knowledge and either a second account or a nice friend.
Basically the point is the buff does not drain the time when you logout.

Get your leveling character to the outside of an instance that your friend or 2nd account can pull the entire place in 1 pull, but also near your level.

For example from 57-64 I did ramparts. 67-74 i did utgarde.

Now you either go inside or wait outside until your buddy pulls the entire instance and is standing close enough to the entrance that you will get exp from walking in or logging on.

Then log in and tell him to kill them all, should take like 30 seconds or less to down the group.
Go out of the instance and log out, friend resets, rinse and repeat.

I can explain in more detail if people don't understand or want tips.

Professions in a nutshell

I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flowers. I put on women's clothing, And hang around in bars. Mage [Herbalist] [Tailor] LFW

On my Warlock, Tailoring and Herbalism. I spend my days burning shit down with demonic power. I spend my nights embroidering pants and picking flowers.


Anyone else wish they'd have a proper look at profs before WoD?

So many profs it's a simple case of grind to 600, then maybe be able to make something useful/profitable.

With tailoring there's bags, and with engineering there's mounts/pets/Jeeves/Moll-E etc, but it does seem lacking in many other profs. Just wish they could be more useful before 600.

Robin Williams WOW Tribute Discovered

A couple of weeks ago, we ran a piece about the tribute Blizzard had planned to honor the late comedian Robin Williams. Well, it now looks like the rumors surrounding the said in-game tribute were true, as the genie NPC created in reference to one of the late actor’s iconic roles, has been officially uncovered.

The tribute was discovered in the World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor expansion beta, by a player named “Haldhur”.

Apparently, Haldhur came upon a special-looking item within one of the new areas introduced by the expansion. The location of the item known as the “Ever-burning Lamp” is on an island near Talador, and once players interact with it, a genie is summoned.

The genie then says “infinite cosmic power/itty-bitty living space” in clear reference to one of Robin Williams’ lines from Aladdin. The lamp isn’t the only tribute-item apparently. Next to it, there’s a broken egg-shell, which could be a reference to Mork and Mindy, as well as a bunch of other, smaller bits of paraphernalia possibly referring to some of the other roles the actor had had over his career.

Apparently, there are two more character models included in the expansion which could also end up as Robin Williams-inspired NPCs, but the presence of these characters – unlike that of the genie – has not been confirmed yet. That of course does not mean they aren’t in fact in the game already.

There’s also been another discovery made within the game data, that of the title “Comedian” which will probably be used in association with these new characters. Once the WOW: Warlords of Draenor expansion pack is released on November 13, we’re quite certain all the characters and tribute-elements shall be discovered on short notice by the community.

TLPD CRZ Farming ALMOST without noodle carts.

This is not a guide on how to block CRZ for TLPD! Check out Boku's simplified version if you need help.

This is simply at tip for everyone who is farming TLPD using the CRZ method. Noodle carts are kinda expensive on some servers and some people can't afford them. Using this trick you can cover 2 out of 4 TLPD Routes without noodle carts, but please note that you still need noodle carts to kill and loot TLPD.

This trick uses the elevators in Storm peaks. While standing on these elevators you can see all mobs around you, and you will be able to spot TLPD/Vyragosa if it flies by.

Location:

The 2 other routes needs be covered using noodle carts but this trick will certainly help you save some noodle carts.

Fairly Private Spot to Kill Huolon? (Timeless Isle -- sigh)

Well, I had a horrible time tonight trying to kill Huolon solo with a 510ish Shadowpriest.
But there was useful stuff learned.

When Huolon spawn on my server tonight, he bugged out and became caught in terrain between the small round mountains where the wire-walkers go to open chests.
I was able to levitate over to him by jumping from an adjacent mountain (near the spawn point of the Riverspeakers Trident on the path toward the Ordos Temple), but was not able to hit him with any spells. Assumed I had disconnected from the server when the mob started giving me "too far away" messages -- so I decided to go around and take the trail up the hill (long way up lol).

Anyway, he did finally get out of the terrain, although I am not sure how (doesn't he only have the 1 spawn point?) -- and was flying slow over the east end of zone as normal.
I tried the stupid albatross thing and the timing was wrong. So I rode up there again and he was pathing on the extreme Eastern side of the Ordos hills, and I had the idea to just tag him, jump off the hill and levitate down to the water.

The Ordos shitheads leashed back to the trees but the dragon followed me down to the water.
In fact I had him close to 35% health when I ****ed it up and got caught in the lightning breath.

After the third time of that and realizing this isn't a thing to do while tired, I wanted to at least share my stupid spot where Huolon can be dragged down by a character with Levitate (OR the Hozen diving helmet thing I guess! with 200% swim).



You could also do it with Potions of Water Walking, a shaman, or a death knight's path of frost (I think).

But the point of this spot is, if you're on a busy server where this mount/mob is truly camped/farmed 24/7, he does not reset aggro like most other mobs just because you passed a certain point on the terrain. You do have to keep some damage up on him but chances are he isn't gonna just leave you alone.

If you use the priest method without the diving helm make sure to avoid the patches of lightning that Huolon will lay on the ground/water in between lightning breaths.

BTW for most players the lightning breath is fatal, a one shot -- unlike the crimsonscales who hit for about 250k or less, Huolon can not only take a bite off your ass but swallow the whole thing.

Another method of getting this annoying mob killed is a skillful use of the stupid Albatrosses.
If you whack your Highwind Albatross w/ your autoattack while flying, the mob will usually pause and hover for a moment.
More whacks = longer hover but eventually he will start flying again.

You can time whacks to slow down the bird while also DPSing Huolon but I haven't perfected this method myself.

New quest that leaves a black powder trail behind your character. (beta)

The amount of dicks that will be drawn during this quest will be staggering. Someone call the people over at Guinness' book of World Records right now. But when you turn in the quest the quest text says "Now don't you go doing anything inappropriate with that powder."

I'm sure Blizz knew exactly what they were doing.

WoW Transmog Guide: Water Jetpack

This is a relatively unknown little animated transmog item called the I-Scream Cryocannon and it looks like it might be unobtainable come Warlords of Draenor. To get it you need to complete a quest chain ending in thousand needles. Te quest you need is called Special Delivery for Brivelthwerp and to keep the jetpack you leave it in your log indefinitely so long as the quest item is in your bags you will keep the visual jetpack.

You can skip to the video below where Bryan walks you through the quest chain necessary to unlock the Water Jetpack or follow the written instructions..

1. Start in Ferelas with the quest: The Grimtotem are Coming 
2. Accept the next quest and start the worlds longest boat ride. 
3. Complete the quest Down in the Deeps 
4. Accept the quest Bar Fight! & head downstairs to the Innkeeper buy a Bottle of Grog & use it on any goblin. 
5. The next quests are self explanatory, bang them out then head to the boat and accept Special Delivery for Brivelthwerp from Mazzer Stripscrew. 
6. Keep the quest in your quest log and as long as the item is in your bags it will appear on your back. 
7. Simply stick it in your bank if you want to take a break from it.

Bypass walls and pvp invulnerability exploits

Walk through walls in Strand of the Ancients.

When defending, put down a mushroom chair in the exact location shown in the video in round 1.
In round 2, jump on the chair and walk straight through the gate, without the need to destroy it.
Your whole team can do this.

Semi-invulnerability while defending Isle Of Conquest.

Put down a chair underneath the gate when it goes up at the start of the bg. When the gate comes
down again, jump on the chair and inside the gate. This is very powerful for defenders. It allows you
to bypass the teleport cooldown and move in and out of the keep at will, defuse bombs without
interrupts and, on the edge of the gate, puts you in a semi-invulnerable state where you can draw
multiple attackers without being seriously damaged.

Defend flags in Deepwind Gorge protected by a teleport field.*

Place darkmoon tiger inside one of mines at the beginning of the releport field. Jump on the tiger
using Votuus's early start method (Early Start in Battlegrounds 5.4.8 By VoTuUS - World of Warcraft Movies).

This allows you to defend the flag protected from all melee attacks, as melee attackers are instantly
ported out if they get close to you.

Ninja cap carts in Silvershard Mines inside the drop-off points.

Put down a mushroom chair inside one of the payload deposit points at the exact point shown in
the video. This makes you invulnerable to melee as no one can get in there easily, and protected
from range attacks on three sides. Particulary for stealth using classes this makes ninja-capping
carts very easy.

Blizzard has "six or seven" World of Warcraft expansions planned; "easily 10 years worth of stuff"

World of Warcraft director Tom Chilton has revealed that Blizzard have “six or seven” expansions planned for their iconic MMORPG. While the expansion that will arrive after Warlords of Draenor is already in active development, a number of others clocking up “10 years worth of stuff” are being discussed.

“I think it’ll be quite a while before the financials indicate that it’s just not worth doing anymore."

Speaking to Gameplanet, Tom Chilton confirmed that they’re already thinking far into the future of World of Warcraft. ”There are about six or seven different ideas for expansions that we can take elements of and say, ‘You know what? Let’s take that and put it in this one for our next expansion after the next one.’ Or we might shift the timelines around from what we originally envisioned. There’s easily 10 years worth of stuff that we can draw from – more, really.”

The expansion after the upcoming Warlords of Draenor is already in active development, and they’re already starting to think about next. “We are already in progress with our next expansion.” explained Chilton. “We already have zones in production for it. Our next expansion after that, we have a couple of different options that we’ll be choosing between over the next several months.”

When asked about the next decade of Word of Warcraft’s future, Chilton seems confident it’ll still be around. “I think that not only do we have content planned out for a good amount of time, I also think that while MMOs go through a life-cycle, the life-cycle tends to be very long.” stated Chilton. “As long as there are enough players demanding that we make more content then we’re likely to do so. I think it’ll be quite a while before the financials indicate that it’s just not worth doing anymore.”
