The following exploit will allow you to teleport between LFR and normal, heroic and mythic raids, saving huge amounts of time travelling to raid entrances and significantly increasing your gold per hour.


Simple Explanation

Put simply the method works like this:

Any time you are in an LFR raids, and your character is teleported between areas of that raid you can right-click on your portrait, leave instance group, and you will be transported to the normal in-world version of that raid. You will then be able to enter the normal, heroic and mythic versions of that raid.

This is very valuable because it allows you to go straight from the LFR version of the raid to the normal, heroic and mythic versions. This allows you to kill bosses without any downtime travelling between LFR and normal, heroic and mythic versions of the same raid. This significantly increases your raw gold per hour.


Full Explanation With Examples

Emerald Dream Glitch

A while back Patreon Treegnome contributed the following comment on an old article:

I found a strange interaction from Rift of Aln on LFR difficulty today. If you "Leave Instance Group" after killing Xavius, before it ports you to the Emerald Dream area,  it will somehow teleport you to the actual Emerald Nightmare raid instance on whatever difficulty you have your legacy raid difficulty set to. 

My guess is that it tries to teleport you to the Emerald Dream on LFR, but that teleport fails since you left the instance group, so it teleports you to the default point in the instance at the very beginning, which happens to be at the actual Emerald Nightmare raid location. 

Essentially, this means you can teleport to clear Normal/Heroic/Mythic Emerald Nightmare directly from talking to Archmage Timear in Dalaran to queue for the LFR instance. This'll save you some time as opposed to flying out there and increase gold per hour a bit. 

 I don't know how strict the timing on this is, but I don't think it has to be very exact.

So to summarize Treegnome's method: right-click on your portrait after you kill Xavius and Leave Instance Group. You will then be teleported to the inside of the Normal Emerald Nightmare. You can then leave the raid, taking you to the entrance in Val'sharah  and reset the instance.

Antorus Glitch

I tested Treegnome's method and it occurred to me that maybe other raids work in the same way. I tried this in the LFR version of Antorus the Burning Throne. After killing Aggramar Magni offers you a teleport to the encounter with Argus. If you leave the instance group during the cinematic you will, after a short delay, have the cinematic repeat and then be transported to the Antorus entrance. 

This method likely works in other raids and will continue to work in yet to be released content - the only requirement is that the raid has some kind of internal teleport.
