wow Easy Way to Farm Invincible, Mimiron Head, Tusks, Etc. on Alts

A lot of you might know this little trick already, but BlackeyesTV has made a few videos showcasing an easy method of sharing lockouts with your alts so you can easily just head to your boss of choice directly, without having to clear the instance pretty much at all (even after the weekly reset). Basically the method is pretty simple, but many might not have thought of it, and there's specific quirks for some raids (like ICC).

Here's the basic version, which works for Ulduar, Siege of Orgrimmar and a lot of older raids: you clear the instance on one character (let's call it your main), create a custom group in the LFG tool; re-log and apply to the group with alt No.1; re-log to your main and accept the application from alt No1; re-log one last time to alt No.1 and kill your boss of choice, whether it's Arthas, Yogg, Garrosh or something else. After you down the boss you simply repeat the procedure for alts 2-infinity, and you can even extend the lockout each week so you don't even have to re-clear the raid at all (although you do lose 1 try that way, as your main will never down the boss). You might want to kick the main char out of the group for safety, but he shouldn't get the kill saved even if you don't. As for Ulduar specific stuff, just don't talk to the Keepers so you have a chance at the mount dropping.

For ICC there's a few additional steps to this: first off the main char has to clear it on Normal, then, when alt No.1, 2 etc. get invited to the group, you have to wait until the alt gets group lead, switch to Heroic, and then kill Arthas.

The Siege of Orgrimmar video is basically the same as the default/Ulduar version, but there some tips for actually downing Garrosh, so we can take a look at that one as well:

This method should work for most older raids, with some perhaps having some additional quirks, while newer ones have the skips built in. Hopefully this helped out some of you still searching for those rare transmogs/mounts etc!

  Does this technique also apply to Garrosh Mythic? I also need that mount.

No, it only applies to raids up to Heroic difficulty.

doesnt work with mythic raid as once u kill a boss on mythic that lockout has a numbered ID and anyone u joins after is locked to that ID and has the same bosses dead

my alt didnt get the option to change the  raid to heroic when I zoned in to ICC after clearing it all

just gives me a box that tells me to accept the raid is already in progress 

this appears to be hotfixed, might want to take the thread down
