Fishing And Skinning Gold-Making Exploits, Anti-Stealth Abilities (Patreon)

(Edit: Heavy Nerfs To Economic Exploits)

There are some unusually good write-ups of exploits from the official bug report forums hidden in amongst the usual sea of nonsense. (I hope you guys understand how many "my helm clips through my character " posts I have to wade through to get to the good stuff:))

Skinning Exploit

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/urgent-massive-exploit-mothers-skinning-knife-with-algari-skining/1948909

There is a bug that using Mother’s Skinning Knife to skin in war within causes the skinning buff that secures rare quality skins to not fall of on use instead it last the entire 5 mins, massive parties are using it with multiple alts to permanently farm rare skins

Mother's Skinning Knife https://www.wowhead.com/item=130102/mothers-skinning-knife is an item from legion that allows aoe-style remote skinning, similar to loot-a-rang.

Fishing Exploit

The exploit (at least as I discovered it) consists of using the option to configure a key to interact, if you press the key to collect the fish and then quickly cast the hook again, the fish is sent to the mail and it does not cancel certain buffs like the one needed to catch Awoken Coelacanth, I didn’t even bother trying it on other fish like Sanguine Dogfish.

Interestingly the poster of this message goes on to link to a message describing a fishing net exploit that was being posted on a "secrets of wow" patreon. Despicable behavior obviously.

Anti-Stealth Abilities

If you have played a stealth-using class in an epic battleground recently you will know there are many player abilities which incorrectly bring you out of stealth. Here is a good write-up of all abilities that have not yet been fixed and bring players out of stealth incorrectly with the exact broken mechanics explained.

TLDR Warlock gains Tormented Crescendo by casting a Shadow Bolt or Drain Soul

(I would read the post though as it contains details on nerfed abilties and the exact mechanics involved if you plan to do any competitive pvp).
