Instances per hour

[Drimistic]

Hi all.

I encountered the "you have entered too many instances recently" but i only ran SM Cath so i am wondering if i where to run SM Lib,Cath,GY,Armory and then Reset all instances will this count as 1 of the 5 lockouts per hour? I can run SM Cath in very little time and this would mean im left with 40mins+ before the lockout reset's. I will ofc HS and quest untill it reset's but this is tedious.

Thank you!

5 instances per hour is 5 instances. The SM sector is not linked, they are each their own separate instance.

Suggestion; loot to take up time if your looking for ways to offset income. Once everyone hits lvl 60, buying a shit ton of spells, mounts and various other items adds up quickly.

Yes, I usually take a stroll by Herod too, just to not get locked out. But feel free to do all four wings, it still counts as one.

Those two quotes contradict, but i beliete Uffela is right. I believe all of SM's wings count as one instance.

Scarlet Monastery is counted as ONE instance, whether you run one wing or all four. If you run Cath and Armory, taking time to loot after the run, you can usually avoid the lockout.

As Gurblash pointed out, buying all the training, spells, and mounts for your toons when they hit 60 will cost more than a couple coppers. And the cloth and vendored items will help to offset that.

How about that, learn something new everyday!

On my server, Wool cloth seems to be going for much more than mageweave and runecloth. make sure you loot that at least :-)

There's an addon out there called Loot & Reset that I found was pretty handy to keep track of lockout timers.

A definitation of the lockout is more about how many times you reset the instance and re-enter, so if you run 2 or 4 of the wings, it is the amount of resets you do that defines if you get the lockout or not.
correct?
