New, ULTRA-Powerful Hunter Farming Technique, Dungeon Farming For 50-100K Gold+ Items (Patreon)
Content
(EDIT: July 2022 update - essentially this is still working though the azerite gear used to reduce the cooldown on feign death seems to be no longer obtainable. Also the wall separating the glitched mobs from the players has been beefed up and is no longer easily breached. Players can still use barrage to kill the glitched mobs however. This is still a VERY good glitch farm.)
A Patreon recently explained to me how to greatly enhance the power of a gold farming exploit. First, I'll explain the basic method and then show you how to use the advanced method. I'll also show you a new example of this method in action.
NOTE: You can just ignore all the theory stuff here and just go to Razorfen Kraul and farm the glitched mobs in question-however using the full method you will make a LOT more gold.
Basic Method
Long-time Patreons will know that one of the most powerful gold-farming exploit techniques requires a hunter involves using the hunter's feign death ability repeatedly to re-spawn certain types of mob.
For newer Patreons it works this:
1. You might get 2 mobs in a dungeon, perhaps doing some kind of roleplay.
2. When a hunter kills one of the mobs, and feigns death, the mob you just killed re-spawns.
3. Repeat.
This method can allow you to kill mobs very fast-much faster than using any normal farming technique, and get a high chance of acquiring items with a low drop chance that fetch a high price.
Exploiters try to find mobs which respond to feign death like this.
New Powerful Method
A Patreon contacted me with the following message:
"HoA + Azerite power Duck and Cover (wowhead.com/spell=280169/duck-and-cover) and the new SL legendary Craven Strategem (wowhead.com/spell=336747/craven-strategem) stack. Giving a 10 FD cooldown."
Why is lowering the feign death cooldown important? Because it increases the speed with which we can re-spawn mobs, increasing our gold per hour profits.*
Farming Razor Fen Kraul For 50-100k Gold Items
The Patreon who shared this info shared an amazing glitch in Razor Fen Kraul .
"There's a few rare zone drops that are worth upwards of a few hundred k depending on the server. imgur.com/a/6LoCoTk There's this spot here in RTK. Just near the entrance. These mobs here are riding on some untargetable boar mounts. When you kill the riders, you remain in combat with their mounts still on you. Dropping combat causes the riders to respawn. Seems to be something with rider mobs e.g. Gundrak so maybe there are more out there. They can't be targeted due to being obscured so I use the survival talent Butchery. It's an AoE that is able to hit them. Butchery + the FD combo means you're resetting every 10 seconds and with the short butchery CD there is little downtime."
Note that the mobs in question, the Blood Banded Razorfen, are behind a gate-however this can be jumped over on the left-hand side without any special tricks.
This is an exceptional contribution: I would bookmark this post if you have a hunter and/or any interest in gold-farming. Note that we have multiple active glitch farms in the archives here based on the feign death mechanic and all of them just became a lot more profitable.
*For sophisticated players-using the play dead ability on your pet while the hunter is in feign death mode will allow you to increase farming even further. You must use a pet with an aoe ability for this to work-a snake/worm with a "burrow attack" ability is a good option.
