Blizzard recently removed the requirement to que for battlegrounds at Battlemasters in faction cities, which is a change from the original Wrath Of The Lich King. 

This has created some interesting and exploitable side-effects.

Currently you can que for a battleground even when dead-this has never been the case in any incarnation of World Of Warcraft I can remember. When you leave the battleground you will be returned alive to the point you died, or any location you moved to while in ghost form. If you die a long way from your corpse you can avoid having to do a ghost run with this method.

Some parts of Northrend are impossible to access without flying, and for this reason Blizzard allow you to use a ghost gryphon to return to your corpse. You can simply use the ghost gryphon to any location you wish, enter a battleground and when you return your character will be alive at the point you were last at. 

Ghost gryphon's are only provided on death near locations which are near inaccessible areas. I discovered this method whilst on the border of Storm Peaks and Dragonblight. 

To summarize the method:

1. Go to any area where you are given a ghost gryphon on death eg the border between Storm Peaks and Dragonblight. 

2. Let a nearby mob kill you.

3. Fly where you want to go on your ghost gryphon and que for a battleground.

4. Enter the battleground and when you leave you should be alive at your desired location.

Tried to use this to fly to a different northrend zone but was 'dismounted' upon entering the new zone. Still works for zones where you are allowed to fly the ghost though

Hello Arch and Patreon squad, has anyone gotten a chance to see if the Wolvar/troll fighting in Gun Drak can be utilized in a similar manner to Arch’s post on the mobs a few years ago for retail? I believe the original post was about the wolvar not leeching significant exp for their assistance with the mobs. I’m fresh off the boat in Utgarde so it’ll be a minute for me to see myself

I checked that yesterday-it is partially nerfed. I have a clear memory you could tap any mob and provided you did so before the wolvars got to it they could do all the damage and you would get full xp. You know seem to need to do about 25% damage to get full xp. It is still an excellent grinding location though-the wolvars stun mobs so they are very easy to kite. I'm compiling a mega-article on this stuff btw.
