Wow Retail, (Gamebreaking) Infinite Lootable Mobs Glitch In Broken Isles (Patreon)
Content
EDIT: Fixed. Mobs now drop no loot.
The following exploit allows you to create infinite mobs for fast experience gains or gold farming.
The quest "Close Enough To Touch" lies near the end of the Val'sharah quest chain. In this quest you are meant to locate Malfurion Stormrage and must search through some illusionary manifestations of Malfurion.
The second, illusionary Malfurion in the quest is located at the edge of a pool next to a nightmare totem. When you click on the image of Malfurion a darkfiend trickster appears and attacks you.
You can glitch this in the following manner:
1. Click on the first illusionary Malfurion, then go to the second and join a raid group
2. You can select one of the many raid groups usually advertising on group finder.
3. If you have difficulty finding a group that will accept you, you can start a group yourself, log-out and have one of your alts join it-then convert the party to a raid by right-clicking on your character profile in the top left of the screen and then selecting "Convert to raid" from the drop-down menu.
4. Once you are in a raid group when you click on the second Malfurion you will then produce infinite lootable Darkfiend Tricksters.
The Tricksters drop fairly standard Legion items-some trash items of marginal vendor value, Shal'dorei silk, greens, and can also yield lucrative items from boon enchants. You can automate farming the mobs easily. This is probably the best in-world raw gold farm in game currently, but the real value of the farm is in experience gains for players in the 98-120 bracket.
This is the fastest possible form of mob grinding. There is a significant problem however in that if a same-level player summons infinite mobs then they will quickly become overwhelmed. The best solution is to pacify the mobs with aggro from something like a high-level Brewmaster monk statue. The leveling player may wish to use BFA engineering explosives to speed things up.
A warning: do not overdo it. You don't want to crash servers, which is a possibility with a infinite replication glitch like this. I would try and avoid having more than a hundred mobs active at any one time.
EDIT: I'm still working on how best to optimize this. Seems like a persistent aoe ability such as flamestrike or consecration works best, since this minimizes gcd downtime. Not clear to me how or if the gcd interferes with the clicking on Malfurion in some way.
