Noticed you left some comments on a couple of my videos, so I decided to check your channel out. I'm not a gamer nor do I play WoW, but it seems like you've built an awesome community. Keep doing what you're doing and keep up the good work!
Oh thanks, thats so considerate, really made my day. Yeah I've been binge watching your stuff (your watch time may double:)), I love your directness, and your analysis, you cover so many things I was curious about. Let me know if you ever stray into my area (psychology of vg and hacking is often fascinating) if I can help out.
I really wholeheartedly appreciate the content you put out, especially when you take the time to make little guides like these for players just starting out. I've been playing WoW for about 11 years and seeing videos from you pop up on my playlist is always so refreshing. Every other WoW based channel seems to be putting out videos like "Make 100,000 gold per minute!!" and tons of clickbait, but you always seem to have something of real value and substance to contribute to our community. I probably won't comment again for a while but I wanted to take the time out to thank you; you have the attitude of someone who was the foundation game was built around and it's nice to see that people like that haven't been quashed out of the game entirely.
Or you could just make a 110 class trial, send over 50 gold to whatever race you want to unlock racial mount on and purchase the mounts, use the mount, delete class trial and rinse and repeat.
It's possible but you have a strict class trial creation limit, and not being able to create class trials has a huge cost in terms of lost gold and other opportunities..
"Entertain yourself for 30 mins" That's easy enough to do- Watch more Archvaldor videos!! Love your work and thank you for making such quality content :)
If possible for your class, doing this method in tank spec would make it significantly less likely for you to die. Monks could probably use the ox statue as well.
with BfA out and azerite traits, there is an azerite trait which gives you a 12k shield and a 13k HoT upon taking damage/every 30 seconds. combine that with just having high dodge chances, youre virutally invincible.
3 tips for this method that i haven't seen here yet (or maybe i missed out). Use your 15% XP/Reputation Guild Banners before you kill the mobs :) You can also use the 10% XP/Reputation one while you're waiting for the CD on the other banner (It is only 10 min CD tho). The 2nd tip .. do this under an Human Character for the extra 10% rep and 3rd tip if you do this when Darkmoon Faire is up, you can get basically 35% Rep Boost with Banner+Human Racial+Darkmoon Faire Buff. I hope this helps!
Demo warlock with Prydaz and talented into Demon Skin would probably allow you to stay afk for a lot longer since it would be nearly impossible for the mobs to kill you.
Yeah that's correct, you also get lower city rep. I think it also counts toward that darkmoon thing quest where you kill things. Probably other stuff I can't think of.
Cabal summoners run out of mana after summoning few mobs and they don't seem to regenerate it. Also the summoners can't summon other summoners. So it doesn't really work :( or im just doing something wrong
Yup. When you get exalted the quarter masters will sell you special mounts like the turtle you see in the video. There's no other way to get them. Sometimes the mounts aren't visible till you hit exalted.
Really? My rig isn't state of the art but it can cope even at max settings. It might be a specific issue since, if you rig can run wow at all it should be able to do this. As an alternative, running both wings of Straholme or 3 of Dire Maul is a pretty good alternative because those instances share cooldowns with each other.
Btw The nuclear option for settings is loweing your screen resolution. Makes the game look like shit but works. If you try that and still have issues then my guess the problem is not to do with the power of your rig but implementation.
It has to be something where you get rep for killing stuff, so apart from guild rep and lower city rep most other tabards work differently. The cata tabards work the same but work only in level appropriate dungeons, so you'd need to find a similar opportunity there (I haven't...yet).
What are you doing with it exactly? I'd try just cut and pasting it into the chat box. If you try and formally create a macro and click on it there can be issues....
Weird. Working like a charm for me. Is it possible you have cut and pasted an extra space or character-that can wreak havoc. Also are you using other macros successfully?
oh yes, camping aoenaxx (still dont have it!) for hours on times and tabbing in to find yourself logged out again was very annoying. macro works beautifully!
No, they can:) They killed my max level mage and he has decent gear. Maybe this isn't apparent: BC mobs now scale to 80 and do very small amounts of damage. Thousands of them can kill you if you leave it for over an hour.
Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks wow, really? I guess maybe because I normally play on my hunter are my Paladin and they have a lot better gear armor wise then a mage LOL. But even on my cloth characters I can type in / sleep and lay there all day and they rarely ever hit me. All I keep seeing is miss miss miss miss miss LOL maybe I have better luck. Still a great video though
Have you tried this recently? Until 7.3.5 yeah mobs wouldn't connect. But my mage (the one in the video) takes around 10-30 damage from each hit. That adds up when a new mob is spawning every second. Or maybe palas have more dodge so that doesn't happen, haven't tested that yet. If you aren't getting hit then with the afk that means you could just leave the thing on for hours, you'd only need to switch tabards every so often.
Michael Michaud uh, actually enough of them will. Since they are humanoids they can crit, and crits are guaranteed hits. Each one might only take out a few hp, but if you have a hundred of them on you then they can still whittle you down. It is in fact possible to die in old instances.
Blizzard can ban people for pretty much anything: but in this particular case it is very, very unlikely. Usually with this type of play they nerf the opportunity but take no action against players.
Not so much the macro, any sort of botting. That said, because you have to do something every so often you should be alright. If you use a script to do it for you then you are really playing with fire.
Killing bosses will get you locked out quickly and requires active farming. This can be done mostly afk. Per minute invested this is much faster than any alternative method.
That's a great explanation. The mostly Afk method would also allow more rep to be farmed without lockouts. Only time I think it could be worth farming both ways is in trying to mount farm while grinding classic rep (ex. Skadi; really close to Argent Dailies anyway).
Here's an easy step by step guide on how to watch this video: 1. Click on the video. 2. Pause it. 3. Give it a thumbs up. 4. Leave a comment on how grateful for the video you are. 5. Watch the Video. Thanks for the guide Archvaldor, I haven't even seen the video yet but thank you anyways and I love you ❤
Hehehehe...were you around in pre-cata wow? Deathwing was flying around everywhere and killing everyone-you got an achievement for it. Never seen people so happy to be burned to death.

Ty mate.

if dis work dis huge
its been a method since class trials came about, its nothing new.
I got all my fac mounts like that
It's possible but you have a strict class trial creation limit, and not being able to create class trials has a huge cost in terms of lost gold and other opportunities..
Fair point, just felt like I should leave that option there too for anyone who wants a quick solution.

Yep there are many broken azerite traits.

Yeah, I missed those. Thanks those are important suggestions.
Timeline is very helpful. Thanks.
The Cabal summoners Seem to run OOM and never summon anymore mobs
I think having a Prydaz would allow you to afk infinitely without dying. Would require testing tho.
Ah probably. There's a few other ways I think that should keep you alive.
Great Video man! Thanks!
Brilliant stuff as always
Demo warlock with Prydaz and talented into Demon Skin would probably allow you to stay afk for a lot longer since it would be nearly impossible for the mobs to kill you.
such an underrated channel D:
Should also mention: this will work for your guild rep. Could be useful if you’ve just joined a new guild.
Yeah that's correct, you also get lower city rep. I think it also counts toward that darkmoon thing quest where you kill things. Probably other stuff I can't think of.
Works great still, thanks man!
Cabal summoners run out of mana after summoning few mobs and they don't seem to regenerate it. Also the summoners can't summon other summoners. So it doesn't really work :( or im just doing something wrong
How does the afk macro work? thanks!
Also use the guild flags for more rep
Oh yeah forgot that bit, all rep gain buffs(dm fair etc) help.
Wouldn't the WQ in the Broken Shore that has the shitton of imps be a faster way?
Dunno, try it. It got nerfed for xp though so maybe no rep also.
Do you know if this will work with the actual rep grind in this dungeon (aka no tabard)?
You get lower city rep if that's what you mean yah.
I'm new to wow? Do we buy something from the quarter masters?
Yup. When you get exalted the quarter masters will sell you special mounts like the turtle you see in the video. There's no other way to get them. Sometimes the mounts aren't visible till you hit exalted.
very slow respawn (26.11.2018) and i always get stunned. maybe there is another good way?
Seems to be working fine. Are you sure you are doing everything as it is in the video?
@@archvaldor maybe i understood something wrong, can you write down what you do in detail? it would be very kind.
killing that many mobs at once is really stressing my computer. any specific settings I can lower to help?
Really? My rig isn't state of the art but it can cope even at max settings. It might be a specific issue since, if you rig can run wow at all it should be able to do this. As an alternative, running both wings of Straholme or 3 of Dire Maul is a pretty good alternative because those instances share cooldowns with each other.
Btw The nuclear option for settings is loweing your screen resolution. Makes the game look like shit but works. If you try that and still have issues then my guess the problem is not to do with the power of your rig but implementation.
Will this work for other tabard rep collections? I've already got all faction mounts.
It has to be something where you get rep for killing stuff, so apart from guild rep and lower city rep most other tabards work differently. The cata tabards work the same but work only in level appropriate dungeons, so you'd need to find a similar opportunity there (I haven't...yet).
The AFK macro isn't working for me. Am I missing something?
What are you doing with it exactly? I'd try just cut and pasting it into the chat box. If you try and formally create a macro and click on it there can be issues....
I've tried both ways and still go afk.
Weird. Working like a charm for me. Is it possible you have cut and pasted an extra space or character-that can wreak havoc. Also are you using other macros successfully?
How long per exalted on average
Good stuff
Brilliant
great video, special thanks for that afk macro :)
Not mine that one just cribbed it off the official forums. It is very useful isn't it?
oh yes, camping aoenaxx (still dont have it!) for hours on times and tabbing in to find yourself logged out again was very annoying. macro works beautifully!
It's a nice video and does seem useful, though you should make it clear that if your max level these guys are never going to be able to kill you
No, they can:) They killed my max level mage and he has decent gear. Maybe this isn't apparent: BC mobs now scale to 80 and do very small amounts of damage. Thousands of them can kill you if you leave it for over an hour.

very nice.
Good vid
Thank
does this still work
No they fixed it, though clearing the whole instance till cap is pretty fast still.
@@archvaldor wouldnt just doing PoS be faster
Can i get banned for this? I mean i think that wouldnt break any rules because you are just using the dungeons mechanics but im not sure :/
Blizzard can ban people for pretty much anything: but in this particular case it is very, very unlikely. Usually with this type of play they nerf the opportunity but take no action against players.
Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks okay thanks for the comment, i think ill try it later when im back home^^
1 more question, isnt it very likely to get banned for that macro?
Not so much the macro, any sort of botting. That said, because you have to do something every so often you should be alright. If you use a script to do it for you then you are really playing with fire.
Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks im not a native english speaker can you simplify that first sentence please?
7:19
Why do you write "Fast method" ? This isn't fast at all. I'd rather rush a smaller instance and get 500 ish reputation per boss kill
Wasn't meant to come off as a "enormous prick" ... then enlighten me, what am I not understanding?
Killing bosses will get you locked out quickly and requires active farming. This can be done mostly afk. Per minute invested this is much faster than any alternative method.

Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks Hahaha no problem
"Sadly I already got all my racial mounts via class trials but it's still good to know.
I did it ... i died
XD
Hehehehe...were you around in pre-cata wow? Deathwing was flying around everywhere and killing everyone-you got an achievement for it. Never seen people so happy to be burned to death.
I don't "stood in fire" the "fire stood on me "
Has anyone tried this on Mythic?
Shadow Labs only has normal and heroic.
legend has it if you comment within 10 minutes of archvaldor publishing a video he'll like your comment, is this true
No.
