Stonecore Skip - Leveling Exploit (Patreon)
Content
Patreon HJ sent me the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEqvwMpop2w
(I especially appreciate this as I cannot link to my own videos on here for legal reasons).
The video shows an ingenious skip to reach the last boss of the Stonecore dungeon in under a minute, which is currently an active timewalking dungeon. I found it could also be done with a vengeance demon hunter's infernal strike ability and rogues can do it with grappling hook. There may be other methods.*
There are a number of interesting ways to use this skip.
HJ suggested making a 70 trial character and using this to boost other characters. A twink can also do the same thing. They must be able to solo the last boss so they will need good gear.
Worth adding the fire elemental mobs further up the dungeon can drop a decent amount of volatile fire which is worth picking up if that material sells for a decent price on your realm. The skip may also have some utility for mount farmers though it will require more development to get the player closer to second boss.
This is an exceptional piece of work by HJ. I tested that exact spot very recently and could not break through, No one has posted any kind of skip or exploration glitch for the Stonecore since original Cataclysm.
*Warriors cannot use heroic leap due to the minimum range requirement. You must be standing on the rock to no-clip through the terrain as HJ shows. You can often no-clip through invisible and visible barriers while standing on an object which bisects the barrier.
EDIT: HJ wanted to say this "I’d like to clarify: if you already have a level 70 booster character, such as a Demon Hunter, and you join a Timewalking dungeon with a free class trial character(or a fresh boosted char) in your party, it will only queue you into Stonecore repeatedly. So you can Clear the dungeon every 2 min.".
