This is a rough guide to exploits in 9.2. I may update it as more exploits are discovered.


1. Phasing Exploits

In World Of Warcraft patch 9.2 the new zone of Zereth Mortis is presented. Even more so than in previous patches Zereth Mortis is characterized by treasure-hunting: for this reason phasing/invincibility exploits are extremely useful and lucrative - more so than in any previous patch.

The easiest way to make gold:

The north of Zerith Mortis is mainly desert densely populated by hostile mobs and elites. It is not possible to kill these mobs efficiently at this time. Consequently supply of the lucrative materials in this zone is limited so any one who can bypass the mobs in the zone can make a lot of gold and/or get a massive advantage towards gearing. We can do this with phasing exploits. 

Some examples of phasing exploits:-

I have verified this glitch works in Zereth Mortis - it is extremely lucrative for gathering and allows you to acquire cosmic flux at a ridiculous rate essentially just by running around opening chests other than the ones which require keys. Pet/minion users can tag rares through their pet and loot them.

Also, try:

Which has much the same effect except the mobs are removed altogether rather than pacified. (Edit: seems to be a nerf here, the ores and chests do not seem to be spawning now).

In addition to these approaches you can invite a player into any scenario with a secondary character and/or partner and escape combat instantly. This method will resurrect the player if dead.

(There are other more exotic methods in the archives for the curious).


2.  Glitched Cache 

Patreon Aqua writes:

  1. Hello, my friend! Thank you for your content. I wished to share one glitched cache/chest which is not working properly for me today.
  2. There is a Toccatian Cache in Zereth Mortis, by coordinates 52.46, 57.16, which I was able to loot 5 times in a row by using 2 point of energy from Pocopoc.
  3. I did it just now, and after 5 times in a row the Cache is still there. i know it's not much, but I got (2, 3, 3, 3, 3) Cyphers of the First Ones (valuta) practically within couple of minutes just by super simple riddle
  4. I will try to come backl to that Cache later again, when energy of Pocopoc is again up
  5. May be it glitched for me because I was clicking it too fast right after I looted it the first time? Not sure.
  6. Aqua Allegoria12:07 PM yep, the chest is still there. Also a local questfor opening a chest  is same glitched by coordinates 65 41
  7. It doesn't give promised gold, but it gives the same value as the previous cache.

There is an addon for solving harder riddles, called "Zererh Mortis Puzzle Helper". It will not solve the tangled version (the easiest anyways), but will help on more complicated ones

I will send a link to video tutorial for this addon

Initially I thought this might be intended by Blizzard, however these two posts on the official bug report forums seemed to suggest otherwise and give support to Aqua's assertion of a glitch.

Either way, this is a very good way to grind infinite cyphers. 


3. Terrain Exploits

  1. "You can get into unintended places in zerith morttis with door of shadows. (Archvaldor note: in fact you can use most reticle-based movement abilities)
  2. Aspirant’s Stretcher can push you inside a wall if you’re in said unintended place.
  3. You can get under the map of Zerith Morttis by doing such."


4. Spellsteal Stacking Glitch

Something fun for mages here: the mob "Mawsworn Striker":

https://www.wowhead.com/npc=181407/mawsworn-striker

has a buff which increases health and resistance to physical damage by 10%. This can be stolen from multiple mobs and stacked to make the player temporarily invulnerable to physical damage. Use of spellsteal it itself not an exploit, but when permitted stolen spells are not usually supposed to stack.

You can do some fun stuff with this for example-stack multiple buffs, and enter a battleground one minute and thirty seconds after the que pops, being immune to physical damage for the first encounter. You can also use it to do overpowered damage against elites with the Greater Pyroplast PVP talent, which is based on player health when attacking mobs with high HP.

Or you can just use the stacked spellsteal to grind mobs in the intended area, which is otherwise difficult for a squishy class to do efficiently.

Is the Wildhammer quest Glitch working in ZM? Because in SL it didnt worked, when i tried it last time

Archvaldors Warcraft Hacks Premium

Actually neither of the major phasing glitches worked in the Maw...tried both hearthing directly into ZM having set a point and it worked. I tried wedding glitch on patch day. Note a lot of the chests require keys which can't be obtained with the wedding glitch.

Hud

Hey, I tried the wildhammer phase in ZM but no ore or chests are spawning? is there a certain amount of quests you need to have done in zone for it to work as I see above you we're able to do it in ZM? i quested up to unlocking the weekly % quest

Niccerson

I haven't tried my self yet but the glitched cache could be fixed in the latest hotfix from 25.02 as they stated this under the quests part: "Fixed an issue that caused Cache of Creation world quests to not be completed after opening the cache." This still could work as nothing is written about it in the hotfix: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/pocopoc-infinite-energy-infinite-chests-infinite-cyphers/1190327

used the glitched cache couple hours yesterday. limit was pocopoc's energy. was fixed couple hours later.

Used the Netherwing debuff and it worked like a charm in ZM. Ported to dungeon, teleported out of dungeon, dropped group and used the Oribos teleport and finally the Zereth Mortis port to get there. Ore and chest that dont use keys were good to go.

Archvaldors Warcraft Hacks Premium

Yeah I was surprised at how well it works given it didn't work at all in the Maw and wasn't much use in the other zones. If you have a pet you can get keys if only through tags but it is only viable with hunter and lock.

Bigun

Ive used the trinket's you get from the netherwing faction to tag rares in korthia. They have an on use, ally to fight for you effect but it dosn't work every time you use it. It's a low level trinket and if it dies before tagging the mob then, no loot. Im going to work on obtaining a higher level trinket of similar type.

Niccerson

I did some research for other items, which could help tagging. I think only summon guardian (pet) ones work because they always spawn with aggressive and follow commands and they all state in the effect text: "fight for you", "fight by your side" or "fight at your side". Not sure about others which state e.g. "protect you" as I think they mostly only attack when you attack target X or get attacked. The highest level trinkets in this category I found are ilvl 58, which are 3 MoP trinkets found in the filter list below. Though they have the longest cooldown of all trinkets, with 1 hour. The main link will be this Wowhead filter search I made to list and show most of them in one place: https://www.wowhead.com/items/armor/trinkets/side:3?filter=107:161:195;0:1:1;fight+for+you:0:0#0-2+18 Additionally I found these quest items, consumables and other trinkets not in the list above which could work as well: Trinkets: - Horn of the Traitor (Quest reward) - Goblin Bomb Dispenser (Engineering: Goblin Engineer) - Defender of the Timbermaw (Quest reward) Consumables: - Glowing Cat Figurine (Dropped by Ghost Saber in Darkshore) - Explosive Sheep (Engineering or AH) - Compact Harvest Reaper Kit (Engineering or AH) - Thornling Seed (Possible loot from "Warpwood Pod's" in the Dire Maul dungeon) - Gnomish Flame Turret (Outland Engineering: Gnomish Engineer or AH) Quest Item: - Cleansed Timberling Heart (consumable item given on a alliance only quest)

Bigun

Thank you Niccerson, damn I love this community.

Bigun

While phased we have no harmful abilities that I know of besides a pet class. So any trinkets that have flavor text along the lines of "Your harmful abilities have a chance to" or "Your damaging abilities have a chance to" are suspect.

Niccerson

May should have added that not all the trinkets in the Wowhead filter search list are for use, it just shows most of which I think can tag. I am very much certain that all of those items do not work as you cannot tag/attack yourself. But I was wondering if any class abilities would work, such as priests temporary pet to tag!?

Niccerson

Thanks for the information! I will further update my resource and add all class abilities which could work then. I’m also right now myself on the netherwing rep grind and once I can do the phashing glitch, I will try to acquire every single item and try it. I’ll keep you all updated!

I found a SLOW gold dupe in the DK starting zone. The quest https://www.wowhead.com/quest=12720/how-to-win-friends-and-influence-enemies provides a box that contains 3 weapons that each vendor for 1 copper. What I've run into that's preventing this from being decent is: The quest giver is not close enough to a vendor to instantly vendor/abandon/reacquire the quest (requires a small amount of movement). The quest giver is inside so mount vendors are not an option. The quest is not sharable. The player is locked (as far as I know) to the DK starting area and cannot return after acquiring a vendor spawning item (guild herald/guild page).

Infinite duration flasks: I assume it's a Cypher piece but the source i found was not clear, but logging out and back in will reapply the flask time extension, up to 24 days after which it will remove itself. https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/t5zafu/i_only_used_1_flask_and_logging_out_and_back_in

I have been playing around with the puzzles on Zereth Mortis in order to try and escape it so I can be untargettable/be phased. When you speak to Firin and initiate a puzzle challenge, you are phased out and become pacified. I tried to escape it and to an extent I did. If you enter a scenario/dungeon from MoP/Garrison etc, then teleport out, then initiate a puzzle challenge, when you teleport back in, you are invisible. I invited a friend and they joined my instance and said they could not see me. I'm a Paladin and learned that I could bubble, to which I could see the bubble but they cannot. So I teleported out and the puzzle is gone but now I am just a floating weapon. If you unclick the puzzle debuff, you will be freed but you will not be phased anymore. So instead I did the character unstuck and was teleported to Orgrimmar. However, the puzzle was still up, Firin was still talking to me and I completed the puzzle. But was now unphased. I was hoping to gain more with this, however, I did learn that if you enter a BG or dungeon through the Queue finder then no one can see you or target you. You still can't cast spells but you can AFK. If anyone can make anything useful out of this let me know.

Discovered this one myself and got exactly the same results. It seems like it should be game-breaking but you can't do anything in the phased state apart from execute invincibility mechanics (for me it was ice block). The only use I can think of is a kind of ultra-stealth for warsong gulch and twin peaks since you can right-click the buff and attack out of nowhere, but that was too niche for an article. I'd be very interested if any one can find an application but offhand my guess is there isn't one.

Mark Jackson

Doing the following put my puzzle engaging character into a strange void location: Open chest showing dialogue options for 2 energy/9 energy, board an ally mount, select the 2 energy option. I couldn't find a way to exit the puzzle and stay there, though I didn't try doing the dungeon trick while there

Matt

Just did this, that is genuinely crazy.

Mark Jackson

Something small I read, for the quest/world quest in Zereth Mortis where you examine the elementals: If you click on yourself while casting the examine, the debuff doesn't apply to the elemental. This allows you to get all 12 examinations from one mob. I haven't tested this yet but it seemed to have some credibility from others in the comments.

I finally did pull the trigger and got back in the game. After one week of rep farming I finally did this and it's amazing! Still working as of now (24/03). Thanks archie for somewhat renewing my interest in the game after some long Years :) Gathering herbs and minerals is very relaxing :D

Niccerson

I just got the Netherwing rep grind done myself (I hated doing it ^^ so that's why my update for my previous comments under the user "Bigun", is coming now first) I tried getting into dungeon queues in time but always ended up on the drake flight without the buff and had to wait till being able to get back there (I read a comment on Wowhead that you could use the item "Swapblaster" to skip the flight though!) I then tried my own way, which worked just flawless: You need to have the toy "Wormhole Generator: Shadowlands" and Shadowlands engineering of at least 1 skill to use it. You then set the portal up exactly at the spot where you talk to Illidian or you'll do it when Illidian starts talking, then talk to the npc to initiate the quest, let them talk till Illidan blows your disguise, you get the debuff and once you have it just port to the Shadowlands zone of your choice. Tested and working as of 11.04.2022 PS: I'm now going through my resource for items which could work tagging npc and then I'll either edit or comment below myself here so keep an eye out if you are interested for more informations ;)

"I just got the Netherwing rep grind done myself (I hated doing it ^^" Yeah it is a LOT of grind. I only thought there was a 10% chance I could glitch that quest when doing it the first time which made it worse:) I never fully optimized the port process ty, thanks that will really help.

Bigun

During TBC timewalking event buy https://www.wowhead.com/item=151016/fractured-necrolyte-skull from vendor for 750 timewarped badges. Go to any lfr npc and enter a raid. I use my garrisons lfr. Once inside lfr instance port out and use the toy. Then fly over to netherwing ledge and pick up quest. When you get the debuff re-enter lfr port.

Niccerson

Most of the items are not working or just not very well, due to scaling as the mobs will instantly die and things like the explosive sheep does not explode. I guess we can move that all to the side and should focus on pocopoc, as he does work well with tagging mobs in ZM. After some progress in the console you will be able to choose an aggressive or supportive mode for pocopoc. And with the aggressive mode it adds another aoe spin attack button, which costs energy but once or twice doing it on a rare should get you loot. Best we can do now is to find out how to make pocopoc as powerful as possible.
