How to: Farm timewalking instances

[cletus]

nice tips using a druid to dreamwalk out, gotta try this tonight.

BTW, when does it count as "double instances" using reset ?

Some other method on this thread mentioned it. I can't remember exactly. Look and you'll find it.

Also, I'm not even sure you need Dreamwalk. You can probably just Teleport out of Dungeon (from the icon, not a hearthstone with a CD) but, like I said, I needed something that could queue heals anyway. Oh and Monk teleport is another option but you don't get that at 10.

Something may well have changed with 11.0.7, I was in Timewalking Stratholme Service Entrance trying to farm for Rivendare's sword on my 11 twink, when I logged back in she was back near Chromie in Stormwind. Possibly to do with the fact there was a patch and hence servers being reset?

It's Cata TW this week not Classic TW so this makes sense. Your Strath TW instance is no longer accessible. It's like if you log out in DMF, the event ends and you log back in. I also have toons with the Remix icon with location saying "Shrine of Seven Stars" that will get ported to Org/SW when they login.

I suspect if you didn't log back in until next week (when Classic TW is back) you would still be in Strath TW.

i was ported out of DM gardens where i was trying to get a trinket. last week i had 3 players that stayed in WOTLK TW dungeons and was able to get 3 gossamer trinkets. so it was probably due to the patch or just like in CATA, everything jacked

I'm using Cata TW for this week, I'll pivot back to Classic next week -- but is the Rivendare runeblade actually still good? Wowhead suggests it scales down to 0 damage + heals at 11? I think I have every other warrior drop I want from Strath service entrance.

Whats the point in farming it in TW vs not TW? badges? easier to just que and run

Actually you can't even enter Stratholme deadside normally till 15 -- a fact that I discovered by trying to sprint in there with my lvl 11 (incidentally -- for Alliance races the Dalaran portal to Dalaran Crater is the closest, unless you're a DK who hasn't done the Legion order hall -- just as Karazahn is the closest for Horde to Deadmines). I had to use a couple of other characters to summon that one back to the Stockades via the summoning stone as it was impossible to walk back out due to the constant display of the Stratholme loading screen and back.

Lol, I had the exact same experience on my lvl 10 fury warrior a couple of weeks ago
I got out of the mess by queuing in the Random Dungeon Finder, and when the dungeon popped I accepted it and was immediately teleported out of the loading screen and into the Random Dungeon. Before that I had first tried the "Character Stuck" feature without luck, and after that contacted a Blizzard GM who claimed he had moved my toon to a safe place, but that was apparently not the case so I was still stuck in the loading screen of Stratholmes service entrance / dead side. Only being summoned away from the blinking loading screen and straight into another dungeon saved my poor toon from becoming a living dead in the loading screen of the undead Stratholme side...

Sometimes I buy a level boost ingame with one of my priests (using mind vision) from other players for gold to see how fast and in which way they boost.
Today I got a very weird boost. A level 70 demonhunter was queuing timewalking dungeons and always hit Scholomance. 20 out of 20 dungeons in 18 minutes..
How is that possible?

 

[shanker]

why not ask the booster

i would have been like wow, we got scholo 2 times in a row and definitely would have asked in the 3-5 times getting it again. to wait and see it pop 20 times then come here and ask

Guess what, he didn't want to tell me.

I figured out how by myself in the meantime. In MoP timewalking you're sticky to Scholomance when queueing with a class trial in your group.

As a DH you can do this dungeon within 60 seconds. Want to boost your own toons, with this method you can do it in about 20 minutes.

Not my own video but it shows how to skip.

Many folks already know the 'logout trick' where you can logout for 30+ minutes inside a timewalking instance in order to reset it. However, most do not know that after the initial reset you can use a second account to reset all instances without waiting the 30+ minutes.

Here's how it works:
1) Queue for timewalking
2) Clear the instance
3) Log out inside the instance
4) Wait 10+ minutes
5) Log back in to fresh instance
6) Invite 2nd account and pass lead
7) Clear the instance
8) Log out inside the instance
9) Reset all instances on 2nd account
10) Log back in to fresh instance
11) Repeat steps 7-10.

Enjoy!

Yo, does this still work?

Edit: YES, it still works

on these resets, does Ooze go back to being busted? or does it remain meh like in the rest of TW

if you stay in the instance, make sure you get some kind of mailbox toy/item so you can send repairbots/vendors to your twink. Katy's Stampwhistle for example.
