Legion Remix: New, Super-Powerful Exploits, Fastest For Leveling And Infinite Power Yet

The first exploit here is very strong indeed, a faster way to level than any I've seen and also a fast way to farm infinite power. The one downside is that it is only available when the world quest "By Water Be Purged" is active-this is a Broken Shore quest located on the right-hand coastline of the Shore.

"By Water Be Purged" gives you a water elemental vehicle to farm mobs with, normally in a phased location. These phased mobs do not award experience. However there is a way to escape the phasing. When you click on the elemental you just onto its back and for a few seconds a cogwheel buff is revealed on your screen-right-click this buff to remove it. This causes the vehicle to remain in the normal unphased world. This means you can use the elemental's incredible power to farm mobs in the area super-fast for experience.

You will have to unlock the broken shore world quests to do this which means completing the legion intro-an alternative is to fly a new character you want to level to the quest area and have them team up with a character that already has shore quests unlocked and have them to do all the farming.

While in the elemental you cannot loot mobs-however, you can leave the vehicle and return to the area you have been farming and loot the mobs that way. This is a fast way to get infinite power. Or, a partner/second account can loot the mobs for you.

Thanks to Lord Slaain for telling me about the exploit potential of this quest and a prominent member of Random Acts Of Violation for explaining the cogwheel mechanic (this was back in original Legion some years ago). Amazing to think this exploit is still active in Lemix and even more powerful than before.

Here are some other superb contributions I have been sent:

A Patreon kindly sent me this:

I found something rather curious. In Legion Remix, during the Druid Quest "Idol of the Wilds", Blizzard gives you an extra action button that reduces enemies HP to around 5%~. it was added so Druids have a chance to do this quest as Old World Content, as you have to lower the enemies' HP by a lot so you can interrogate them. This area sadly doesn't include any Elites, but it does Include a Rare Spawn and enemies that can get the Imbuement you showed off in your Murky video. Being able to essentially One Hit kill any enemy just by channelling for 4 seconds as a Druid in Bear form is pretty damn quick and does grant you some decent EXP.

I want to highlight the following two contributions which appeared as comments on a previous post of mine as many patreons interact with the site only through e-mail and would have missed them:

Not sure if this is known, but while I was walking with Prince Farondis during the “Save Yourself” quest, I noticed that Legion Assault mobs are visible and killable during the quest. I tested a few spots, and the Temple of a Thousand Lights is extremely good for leveling. The Dreadsworn Annihilators were giving me almost a full level each. I pulled around 20 levels in about 12 minutes, and my XP bonus was only around 150%.

Obviously this only works when the assault is active, but in theory you could park a row of characters on “Save Yourself” and just wait for the Azsuna assault to start.

One thing to keep in mind: I did this late at night 11PM, so you may lose XP during the day when more people who are doing the assault legitimately.

On Lemix, there's a potential exploit with your weapon's versa (limits unbound) and it's damage reduction. It's reproducible, but not sure if it's exploitable.

First, the base DR seems to cap somewhere around 75% damage reduction, no matter your actual versatility %. (Doesnt matter if you have 150, 250 or 999). However, the actual damage mobs do to you seems to be quite wonky. There's reports of people going into a m+ dungeon with decent amount of versa, resetting their versa, and getting hit for 400m by normal mob aa's.

Second, the (potentially) exploitable part: If you go to a dungeon or a raid with zero versatility, kill a mob, then add 150 versatility, kill a mob, and then add more versatility (another 150 or to your max) the damage reduction stacks. Basically, I've seen mobs that were hitting for 350-400k go down to 5-8k melee hits.

It seems the damage reduction is calibrated on entering or leaving zones, and adding more versatility inside a zone, after killing a mob, somehow multiplies the damage reduction. However, the problem is that as far as I can tell, 1) this amount resets to the normal -75% damage reduction when you engage a boss and b) it's not exploitable in M+, since when you start a mythic + dungeon, the versatility gets "normalized" and brought to the appropriate level.

This is basically an immortality bug, and if properly exploited, will absolutely break the game in Lemix (beyond the level it's already broken.) I'd also suspect that people are already exploiting this, given that we've seen keys up to +187 cleared succesfully in time, which should otherwise be quite impossible, even with 999% vers and Remix's gear levels.

To reproduce this and test for yourself: Use a character with atleast 250-300 versatility. Go to a dungeon (have 0% versatility when entering, e.g reset your limits unbound). Kill a single mob from start of the dungeon, set versa to 150, kill another mob, and set versa to 300 or the highest amount you can. (With capped weapon and the right method, I suspect you could do this for multiple steps). Note the damage you take from white attacks at each stage. You should see the damage drop significantly between each step.
