Train Weapon Skill while AFK with no risk of dying – World of Warcraft



If you want to skill weapons skills for Master of Arms or Did Somebody Order a Knuckle Sandwich? Achievement, there is a very secure and easy way to do this while AFK, as gaining the last few skill points can take some time! My record was 30 minutes for 399 to 400!

The trick is very easy. Use a Dalaran portal to Shattrath and go to Shadow Labyrinth. If you’re level is high enough (lv 78 or higher, when the mobs turn in grey), simply go to the first boss Ambassador Hellmaw. He is banished (DON’T KILL THE MOBS IN THIS ROOM, or the will be set free!!!).

Go behind him and turn auto-attack on and go AFK. Because he’s banished he won’t ever die and when the trash mobs are gray to you, they won’t attack you either. Make sure to check out every 30 minutes or so to make sure you hit the cap of 400 and change the weapons for the next skilling.

Update 1: Seems it works with Gordok Spirit in Dire Maul too.

Win Wintergrasp in 5 minutes Exploit Tactic – World of Warcraft



There is a 100% easy way to win Wintergrasp in very short time. All you need to do is, gather a raid 10-20 min before Wintergrasp starts.

If you’re defender

Dugi's Ultimate World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King PvP and Leveling Guide Move your defense as close as possible to the spawning place of the enemy faction and/or to the western/eastern Workshops. Once the Wintergrasp Battleground starts, catch as many horde as possible on their way to the keep. Hold the workshop as long as possible to prevent them from having many siege weapons.

But nothing really spectacular! The real exploits comes in, when you’re attacking the keep!

If you’re attacker

Dugi's Ultimate World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King PvP and Leveling GuideHave a warlock and 2 people fly to one of the towers. They need to be quickly to get inside the keep to one of the towers, before they get dismounted or detected. On the tower let the warlock place a summoning stone.

Now port your whole raid to the tower and hide. Make sure they are staying somewhere on the outer lines where the gun spawns, so they don’t get ported out of the keep when the siege begins.

When the siege begins, you won’t be ported out of the Keep. Now simply wait until your enemy enters the outer yard, charge out of the tower and roll over the allies. You will get the necessary kills pretty fast for First Lieutenant. Who ever dies in the keep simply gets a Wintergrasp Demolisher or Siege Engine. And wait in front of it. Once your faction got 16 vehicles, zerg down the walls and go for the artifact room. Zerg it too and go in and win.

I guarantee you, your enemy will be surprised as hell and you will have easy game rolling over them. The main advantage of this exploit tactic is, that you can destroy the guns from within and don’t have LoS problems or allies who shot from above the small gun terraces (and if you’re melee you can get up there anyways) and of course very quickly gain your rank for the siege engines!

Have fun owning Alliance/Horde with this dirty tactic!

Chopper/Mammoth speed/no-dismount Exploit – World of Warcraft



For all who didn’t know: The Mekgineer's Chopper/Mechano-hog/Reins of the Black War Mammoth/Reins of the Grand Black War Mammoth are technically no mounts. They are counted as vehicles.

This gives them some special abilities, which regular mounts doesn’t have.

  • Don’t get dismounted when you enter a no-ride zone
  • Hunter’s Aspect of the Pack/Cheetah stacks with the mount (this means you get 130% mount speed instead of 100%)
  • No fall damage. Yes you read correctly! With this mounts you don’t need to use “no fall-damage” hacks and tools! Do it completely legally
  • This special vehicular mounts are also immune to some CC effects (i.e. immune to the nets of the Goblin Town Guards (Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Everlook, Ratchet)

This can give some great advantages in PvP. Some examples:

  • Arathi: Quickly get the tap the flags at beginning of the BG (Aspect of the Pack/Cheetah = faster than any other mount increasing aspect)
  • Arathi: Jump down from Lumber mill without fall damage or slow fall
  • Alterac Valley: Aspect of the Pack/Cheetah + Vehicular mount and you’re the first one to cap Snowfall graveyard! (Necessary for the Achievement)
  • The Eye of Storms: Jump down from the starting position. By not having to jump on the small stone to prevent to get 60% of your HP as fall-damage, you can ride straight forward and head directly to Blood Elf Tower. Saves a few seconds which can be important for a 0/2000 win
  • Warsong Gulch: Get faster to the flag (with Aspect of the Pack/Cheetah and riding in the no-ride zone inside the Bases)

If you know more applications where you can exploit this, post it in the comments and share it with everyone!
