One Thing Nice About the New Patch

[beeq]

My internets were broken for several hours just yesterday, thanks to my ISP and their cable fault.. on a patch day!
I managed to test different groups for maximizing loot from outworld mobs, for example for cloth grinding and so on.

Due to current tap changes, each mob can be tapped five times, but you will get more "taps" with this method.
You can farm normal mobs with 9 toons; 4 toons in party A and 5 toons in party B. Make sure your party A tags the mob first, and then make sure that party B hits the mob before they die. You will get 9x loot this way. Party A will 'consume' 4 taps, and party B will have one tap left, but since they are grouped, the game adds 4 more taps for party B so every in it will get the loot.

If you tap a mob with 5man party, then all taps will be consumed, and any other player will not get the loots nor the credit for the kill, unless it's rare mob which still have the different tapping system.

I'm glad that Garrisons are nerfed to shit. I did nothing in WoD except Garrisons. I milked them pretty well though; have been purchasing WoW Tokens so much that my 10 accounts are active until January 2018 :P

yeah, i agree... i spent the whole expac doing garrisons, loging in and collecting the rewards after the patch and getting 0 gold and no items felt so liberating. i've been leveling a warrior team (!) and playing my main team only... haven't been so relaxed in months. even dropped the ring quest on all alt teams. (main has it already)

i'm glad the garrisons are dead, i've seen a ton of people doing some old school farming!

So with each toon being able to loot their own trash, how do each of you manage IWT?

I find that more often then not, 2-3 of my team dont close the loot windows and I am stuck with running around to close the window and approaching the body again to ry again.

I find that more often then not, 2-3 of my team dont close the loot windows and I am stuck with running around to close the window and approaching the body again to ry again.

I have a specific loot key for that:

Step 1 : Action 1 : WoW macro 'Loot' in 'Quick Setup 41' -> all
Step 2 : Action 1 : Do Assist Me in Non-combat Key Map -> self
Step 2 : Action 2 : <Interact with Target> -> all

and then I have that loot macro in Game Helpers -> World of Warcraft -> Loot

/run CloseLoot() ( essential! Frees up the loot window after looting for other toons )
/use Findle's Loot-A-Rang (which is totally optional, and currently working only in Draenor )

It's far from perfect, but it works most of the time. The trouble is when your main loots the mob, game deselects it, so you have to click on the corpse again, and then spam that loot key..

There might be several better configs for this, but I've managed to loot things with it so far

I really do need to get a closeloot macro going, thanks for the reminder beeq!

The loot a rang thing means you dont have to target anything right? Looks like all my minions are gonna be low level engineers too...

You don't have to be an engineer to use the rang, but it works only in Draenor..

It works without the targeting, but if there's loot far away, your toons would run closer, here and there different directions, if you have had a slaughterhouse going on The rang is a bonus, but if it causes troubles, then just the closeloot macro is great enough

I really do need to get a closeloot macro going, thanks for the reminder beeq!

yw lux! Happy looting

Thank you for this !!

Until I found this, I was just having all my toons jump (To close the loot windows) and then re-interacting with targets. I would have to do this 4-5 times to make sure all my toons received their loot.

The root problem is blizzard needs to fix the dang "that item is busy" problem.
