Instant Boss Farming - Improved Method (Patreon)
Content
Recently this video was uploaded to youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqaKS1uAmzw
It explains how to farm bosses repeatedly in low-level dungeons. Out of respect for the youtuber's work I will not explain how it works-the video explanation is very clear and takes only a minute to understand.
However, I do have a improvement to the method. The original method requires a specific snowman toy only obtainable at Christmas or multiple stun toys, in order to be used continuously. An alternative is to obtain this toy https://www.wowhead.com/item=113570/ancients-bloom
This toy has a 5 minute duration and does not break on logout. It is easy to obtain all year round by camping a rare in Draenor. This toy can be used continuously. You need no other toy. Simply use the basic method but do not cancel the tree buff-it will remain active through logout.
You will need to kill the boss without cancelling the stun buff-this is easy for pet using classes. If you do not have a pet try this trinket I wrote about here:

This means you can kill a boss 10 times and hit instance lockout with one use of the ancient bloom toy. I used it successfully to farm Baron Rivendare.
Limitations: Note that you cannot loot the boss in question-the loot will go straight to your mailbox and will be collected afterwards. This means you cannot loot normal mobs or gold using this revised method-though I have not found any particular reason to do so. You also need to be farming a boss you out-level so this isn't appropriate for same level twink gear.
This exploit is a mount farmer's dream. It is also useful for farming rare drop items and also valuable rare ores (though the mind vision method in the archives here is even better for ores).
