So does ANYONE have a pic/vid of how to get to Garfrost while avoiding 99% of the mobs? I have gotten to him a couple of times by hugging the side of the quarry but it seems to be very perilous to get by the mobs.
Any help welcome

Sajuuk posts his approval.
I might make a video later. I will do a paint picture if more than just you wants it (no offense meant).Quote:

Honestly it's just waiting for pats to get to certain points and running along the direct edge of the quarry. Shouldn't need a map...Quote:

Mount up before you go into the instance, start running RIGHT away... it's really not that hard. If you can't down the rider and the drake in a few seconds if you pull him then you don't really have the gear to kill garfrost that fast anywho.Quote:

Well my dps and healer are all geared, I am thinking of gearing my tank this way, yes it will not be as fast as a full geared team but if I can pull 25 - 30 badges an hour plus the gold from vendoring staffs etc it would be a more consistant way to farm badges fast. Based on times per instance posted here, badge faming randoms would be slower, i.e. (for me) 2 dungeons per hour is about as good as it gets with a low geared tank and so max per hour would be 12 badges per hour (I think :P ) , whereas if I can do 5 minute runs for Garfrost I get a guaranteed 12 badges per hour and the more I do this the faster it would get.
Work on being able to kill that first dude who puts the sword out FAST (blow cooldowns) and it speeds the run up.Quote:

- bypass the 2 groups of caster+little skellies,
- follow the quarry ledge
- skip big Skeleton
- kill first dragon+rider (just stun the rider when he's about 80% hp to avoid sword) - i kill it because for me it was quicker than waiting for his correct pathing position
- skip second skeleton
- skip second dragon (move to the right side when he's near garfrost)
- kill garfrost
- loot and use LFD > PoS again, you'll be in a fresh instance in a second.
No offense, but how long can you keep repeating this before you go mental?
me? once :-)Quote:

I have an all druid team, so I can stealth up to Forgemaster Garfrost. But even then it takes about 4 minutes a run. I'd love to know how to do it 2 minutes. That would be wicked.
Pulling no ads = 30 seconds to boss and about a minuet and a half for the kill (in mostly raiding gear, no t9)Quote:

I don't ever farm garfost anymore, I just don't need to and haven't for quite some time now. Plus ICC trash is more profitable.Quote:

Step 3: head DIRECTLY to the quarry's edge.
Step 4: give the dragon rider about 15 seconds to start pathing back up north and hug the wall, go into the cubby hole to the left and continue to hug the quarry.
Step 5: wait for second dragon rider to pat north and when he is about 4 seconds ahead of you head north behind his tail... the quarry moves left where he continues to go straight ahead
Step 6: continue to follow the quarry to the stairs of garfrost and start the fight.
Congrats, you have successfully reached garfrost with pulling zero mobs.
I play a single mage sometimes and i do this when i get the instance... it pissed people off and amuses me.
does anyone have an idea of what the Cataclysm equivalent of these ideas would be? Or any other gold making ideas for multiboxers? Im trying to find way to make a ton of gold to fund my 25 boxing pve project. I realize i could probably do it with 30 or 40 alchemists but first id need the gold to make that many alchemists. Lol.
