Patreon Contributions - Fascinating Exploits (Patreon)

Here are some of the fascinating contributions from Patreons and elsewhere. 

I am extremely grateful for all contributions. 

In no particular order:

First  a quick one from me:

Shaman's Unintentionally Able To Port Players/NPC's

Shamans can currently teleport players up to 80 yards away by using static field totem and then the pvp talent totemic projection. This is NOT an intended mechanic and is very powerful in pvp.

Quest Allowing Fast Experience At 60-63

The quest "Training Wings" in The Waking Shores is currently bugged. The quest has you take control of a whelp and defeat some enemies, then you are flown back to the platform and booted out of the whelp. I was able to bug this by flying low enough as I killed the last enemy for the quest so it didnt dismount me. I'm not entirely sure how well this will work for speed leveling in general, i was getting about a level every 30 minutes with some genuinely good aim. You can sit in the middle and just aim your camera to hit almost the entire spawn area of the smaller weed creatures, they die in one hit and the cooldown for the ability to kill them is very low, its also hard for anyone else to steal kills from you for very long as long as they don't know to skip the auto return trigger so the mobs are always plentiful, I didn't ever have a time where I ran out of mobs to shoot. I don't think this would be the best for 60-70, but if people are grinding alt armies then this might be a viable option in combination with Rested exp, my 30 minute figure didn't use rested exp at all. I was also able to safely abandon and re-acquire the quest, as well as easily duplicate the glitch with the methods provided.

Unfortunately this quest is part of the main campaign and I didnt think to test if you are able to leave this one behind but i would assume you wouldnt be able to, so i wouldnt advise this for anyone who wants to complete the story on that character until 70. I also saw that the zone only scales to level 62 and you are left behind at that point, from 64-65 i only gained 144 from the plants and around 1400 from the elementals, greatly increasing the speed i was able to power through these levels, but ultimately not going to be very good into the later levels

(In response to a question from me about how to do this faster)...

I did this on Monday, I’m not exactly sure what the exp values I was gaining were besides 162 from the plants at 62, 160 at 63 and 144 at 64

It was enough at the beginning levels for me to notice and try to find a way to cheese it to where I could solidly gain exp from it, and I did 62-65 in just about an hour and 45 minutes. 

Pet DPS Glitch

Aetherian 

There's a talent for Demonology called "fel sunder" which causes your felguard to apply a damage taken debuff of the same name to everything hit by its bladestorm ability.

Changing talents and removing fel sunder without re-summoning the felguard seem to allow him to keep this effect, applying new fel sunders even without the talent.

This might be indicative of other useful pet-related talents being usable without a talent point. (Archvaldor note: Indeed it is, I'm working on related exploits right now.)

Broken Quest Item Giving You Powerful Dragon Ally

Naouta (from youtube)

Over in the Obsidian Citadel, there is a quest you can get called "Hands-Off Operations" picked up from Exadria (She stands next to sebellian). It task you will freeing some whelps and killing "Ashbinder Tornecha". When you use the dragon summoning item to call upon Osoria when attacking Tornecha. She can become "glitched" and get stuck in her dragon form. When this happens she will spam a VERY strong attack 2 times a second or so for about 85-100k dmg. she will follow you anywhere in the citadel and can keep up with some small flights. 

Some dps figuresl:

1. [Searing Bolt]: 3.76M (76.8%)

2. [Searing Bolt]: 868K (17.7%)

3. [Azure Strike]: 218K (4.5%)

about 162k dps in 30 sec

Archvaldor Niche Exploits

Here are some niche exploits I am fairly certain will interest some patreons but probably not everyone so I thought I'd post them here.

1. Using Rescue or Leap of Faith on a person who is dragonriding will cause their character to disconnect and prevent them from logging out or back in if the game is forcefully closed

2. Fishing in lava always produces a grey item worth 5g. This is not super-lucrative but Botters will see the angle here. (EDIT this seems to have a proper loot table as of  10 December, thanks to Reese for update)

3. Monk detox, pala cleanse and priest purify disease appears to have a 2-second  cooldown despite an 8 second cooldown listed on the tooltip and a blue hotfix from Blizzard apparently addressing this.
