There is an older technique used in wow known as the "soft reset" where you:

1. Have your character exit an instance completely.

2. Return after half an hour.

This method has been used since original Burning Crusade to reset trash.

However in MOP Remix* you can actually use this method to reset a boss (and his surrounding trash packs). The second boss of Heart Of Fear Blade Lord Ta'yak.

You can do this repeatedly while running LFR or farming the Dread Wastes.

WARNING: if you complete the whole raid, you will be placed in the latter half of the instance and unable to access the blade lord, as the doors are closed. It is recommended you only complere the instance just before reset if this is possible.

*This actually works in retail but is less useful there, though I have farmed it in the past for the pet drop which used to sell quite fast.

Oh wow so you can reset him even in HC and get the loot? Pretty nuts if so

philip pace

So just kill him as normal and then come back? My main can solo that easily if so.

Yeah its not even that hard on heroic if you have some way to survive the unseen strikes and overwhelming assaults. By the end of remix we should be able to kill him in seconds.

Anna Luft

does this also work if you clear the rest of the instance or do i have to leave after killing him

Yes it does. If you clear the entire raid provided you exit the instance for half an hour and reset it then the bladelord and trash will be there when you come back. The other bosses will remain dead.

so a quick 1500 bronze every half an hour on top of clearing the raid, thanks man

Anna Luft

so i ran into a problem when fully clearing the instance, while he does indeed respawn, when i enter the instance i spawn before the second to last boss and the doors back are all closed, anyone know how you can get back to blade lord?

OH sorry Anna I forgot that happens. I couldn't find any way out of that situation. I mean there are exploration methods but they aren't very practical. Still instance reset so your problem should go away by tomorrow.

Anna Luft

for threads i do the layerhopping method on archiereus of flame you posted, seems far more efficient, especially because you get another rare with the dread boat nearby which also spawns regulary and sometimes the snake rare, but im gonna guess you combine it with some other farm?
