Invincibility, CT Gold Farms, Damage Buffs For All Classes... A Summary Of Working Exploits (Patreon)
Content
Patreon is an excellent service but it has a serious drawback in that there is no search function for the posts of a creator. Additionally, while there are a substantial number of posts on in the archive here, it isn't clear what does and does not work, so I'm going to be periodically posting updates on to the status of "major" exploits. Everything listed here still works. I've only included plays which yielded positive feedback from Patreons regardless of how useful an exploit might be to me personally.
Note the Update comments refer to the current status of the play and any changes. Also, anything I published on youtube is now public information and is not included on this list even if it still works.
This is NOT a comprehensive list, there are many interesting, valuable and fun exploits in the archives which don't appear here-I'm focusing on what Patreons indicated what they believed to be the best content.
Gold Farming
How To SOLO The Shadowmourne Questline-250K Gold
https://www.patreon.com/posts/12077031/
An ingenious play one of my youtube commenters kindly shared with me how to do the impossible and solo this questline which normally requires multiple players.
Update: This is now worth 400K and one of the best gold-making exploits in the game!
Up to 35000 gold every day in nine minutes (requires substantial set-up time)
https://www.patreon.com/posts/7943230/
The fastest possible method of raw gold making. Requires investment and, depending how much you want to make, a large amount of time invested. All that said, you will be virtually printing gold if you do everything in the guide.
Update: This was the very first post I made here and still generates a lot of raw gold to this day. Unfortunately because class trials no longer award level 3 Garrisons the set-up time is insane. On the plus side you can't get banned for doing it since exploits are no longer involved.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/8582202/
A guide to the basic principles of gold farming exploitation, giving you a chance to uncover the best possible type of exploit: one that only you know about.

10K Gold Item Ultra-Fast Farming Method 60k Gold Per Hour
https://www.patreon.com/posts/15785334/
A very interesting discovery about Dire Maul allowed me to make a lot of gold using Shaman far sight.
Update: Still a very powerful method. The item in question takes a little longer to sell than in Legion. However, this also allows you to control the price more easily.
"Fly" In No-Fly World Zones, Gold Farming Expensive Pet
https://www.patreon.com/posts/11383761/
A trick to farm race-specific pets.
Update: The Fel Meteorites were nerfed, but it is still easy and profitable to use class trials to do the same thing (see comments).

Amazing Drustvar Phasing Glitch, No Mobs-Herb/Mine Ultra-Fast
https://www.patreon.com/posts/23909327
Update: This method allows you to gather quickly and easy in Drustvar by removing mobs. Note that there are other methods where you can eliminate mobs or their ability to attack you using other exploits anywhere in the game, but these methods are generally more time-consuming to set-up than this relatively simply trick.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/22617986
Update: Still works very well and is unlikely to ever be fixed.
Instant Respawn Farm, Drops 13K Gold Item
https://www.patreon.com/posts/22119029
Update: This popular instant respawn farm still works well. Note that there are actually quite a few valuable transmog items from this farm: but be aware transmog doesn't sell that fast.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/16670880/
An obscure Northrend mob has an ability which mages can spellsteal and stack infinitely creating gamebreaking cast speed. Can be used in Raids/PVE.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/21911014
Update: A rare example of a class of exploits which work in arena.
Other Exploits
Major Gamebreaking Invincibility/Phase Exploit
https://www.patreon.com/posts/14112132/
This VERY powerful method makes the player effectively invisible to any mob in the game, while allowing them to heal and/or attack with minions.
Update: Worth adding that this allows the player to gather herbs and mine without harassment making it a huge money-maker in BFA. It also allows healers to focus exclusively on healing in raids since they take no damage in fights.
Gamebreaking-Summon Infinite Trolls Anywhere
https://www.patreon.com/posts/2215903
Update: Still works but sadly only 3 trolls may be summoned at a time. Nonetheless this still allows most classes to have infinite resources and makes several tanking classes literally invincible.
