Going to make the run from Arathi to Badlands. If I agro the dwarf guards in the tunnels does it automatically flag me? How long does a PVP flag last? Can you turn it off?
Sorry I’m totally ignorant on this and don’t want to lose my character over doing something dumb.
yes if the dwarfs hit you, you will probably get pvp flagged for 5 minutes.
if you’re high enough level, buy some lesser invisibility pots. those will help a lot
I wouldn’t do it. There is probably an Alliance rogue with an edgy name just waiting for Horde to run through and flag themselves.
I have read some posts on reddit and people were saying you’re only flagged if you attack back. Not if they attack/agro on you.
Wish I could find some clarification on this.
EDIT: Can you log out for 5 min after flagged or do you actually have to stay in game and let that timer run down?
Yup.
Buy a couple lesser invisibility pots and skip the worry.
I thought I saw a blue post somewhere saying that they made it so that those guards don’t flag you u less if you attack back. I’d look into that
War Mode and PvP flagging are two separate systems that enable you to engage in combat with members of the opposing faction.
When not in War Mode, you will become PvP-flagged if you engage in the following activities:
Attack or be seen by a PvP-flagged NPC, such as a guard or shopkeeper, in a town of the opposing faction Accept a quest that requires you to be PvP-flaggedAccepting a PvP quest will keep you PvP-flagged until you complete or abandon the quest. Otherwise, you can toggle PvP-flagging on and off by typing /pvp in chat. When you toggle PvP off, there is a five minute countdown before the flagging disappears.
I don’t know about Defias Pillager but I’ve level’d multiple characters through Loch Modan on Skull Rock and I’ve NEVER seen a 60 camping those tunnels.
Anyone know what level the guards are?
Just do the thelsamar skip. Look it up on youtube
Lesser invis works but you need 2 of them and have to stand around for 10m because there’s two consecutive tunnels with guards.
HAH! That’s awesome. Videos are from a year ago. Wonder of they fixed it.
Also if I recall there are guard patrols on this road near the graveyard?
The place you spawn is safe at level ~40 when you go to badlands, but dont move east into thelsamar, go west. You can also just use an invis when you spawn if you want to be extra safe. Its a lot easier and faster than running through the tunnels. I just used it today, there’s a bunch of skips like this that speed runners use.
ur still sayin the edgy word. ur still keepin that garbage goin. man ur type holds on to annoyin stuff n never lets go
This is how it works in Retail. Not Era. In Era you are only flagged by entering an enemy capital city, attacking a guard or accepting a PvP Quest.
But this explains from where the bug comes.
Another way of immedialetly dropping the PvP flag is to take a FP.
Right, I am sure the Horde wouldn’t do that either… 
Sure they would. And that’s fine, it’s WARcraft. If you’re flagged you’re flagged. Proceed at your own risk.
EIGHT DAYS LATER…
Who’s holding on and not letting go?
That sounds pretty edgy to me.
