1. Use LFD Specific Dungeon tool. Port to Normal PoS

2. Kill Garfrost

3. Bail out , sell/DE loot

4. Rinse/Repeat

5. PROFIT !!!

[Catamer]

my only Cata prep is wondering why the heck everyone thinks there is anything to prepare for.
whatever changes they make won't affect me today.
whatever changes I have to make I can't make until it's out.
why worry about something you can do nothing about.....
The only thing the release of Cata has done for me is to remove ALL requirements or incentives to do ANYTHING because it will all be obsolete on day one of cata.
my gear will be worthless so there is no point in getting more gear which was the main point of playing the game.
oh well.

But does this "trick" not run into the 5 dungeon per hour lockout? (If you are able to run as quickly as FirstCow)

If you do the garfrost trick for one hour per day you can get about 1.5k gold every day while watching TV if you also have a JC to cut the gems and put them in AH, and an enchanter to DE the epics that sell to vendor for under 10g.

I prefer doing BG's, eventhough that's a lot less gold. Besides that i only play 4 shaman, not 4 + tank. so would cut profit by 50%. I guess it could work pretty well.

Besides that i'd rather spend 1 hour / day doing AHstuff and probably earn more then mindlessly farm. I really really don't like farming :>

Crowdx,

Yes it can. However, If I find myself burning Garfrost down faster than normal (which is usually around 10 mins total), I just go ahead and pound Ick too. He is relatively easy on normal mode if you're geared, and the extra badge and epic doesn't hurt either.

If you use the dungeon tool to enter and leave the instance (the button on the minimap that says teleport out/in of the instance) then there is no restriction of 5 / hour. So first time use the LFD tool to queue your whole team, kill garfrost, reset instance, use the minimap button to leave/reenter instance.

You can do this forever and you will not run into the "too many instances" issue. But if you try to enter another instance in the normal way, not with LFD tool, you WILL get the "too many instances" message.

Now I'm having second thoughts for sharing this piece of information. I hope this is not a bug on Blizzard's part and it's actually a feature to be able to use the LFD even if you already did 5 instances in the last hour. If this is a bug and Blizz fixes it, then I will be screwed. It will cut my income by 4 since now I do about 20 garfrost kills / hour.

I guess, if that happens, I will have to kill Krick too, that way at least I can get 2 badges in 12 mins, so 10 / hour.
