Quick and easy way to get T3 TDS gear for your non-flagged alts.

T3 zones are locked behind a bunch of annoying hail/turn-in tasks, and while I did them for my primary group, I am too lazy to do it again right now for all of my alts. I found through experimentation that the standard zones, and missions based on the standard zones, are coded to prevent unflagged toons from zoning in but that the restriction is missing from heroic missions. As long as you have 3 characters flagged for the zone/HA, you can drop a campfire and port your unflagged toons into the HA instance.

Tested with Thuliasaur and Combine Dredge HA's. Probably works with the Arx, Degmar, and Cavern HAs, just haven't tested it yet.

It also doesn't look like they lock the TDS HA's when the named spawn, so you should be able to taskadd the specific alt you need loot for. I like the Thul HA since it is relatively easy and can spawn up to three named and the mobs inside are decent experience. Kill the 15-20 necessary mobs, spawn and curbstomp the named, drop the instance and repeat (no pieces of eight but no lockout).

If you're just looking for quick named farming, the Combine Dredge HA only requires killing 5 trivial mobs to spawn the named.

The only unfortunate part of this is I've only seen Highwater Bracers drop in HA's, but you should be able to piece together a set of T3 non-visibles and some decent weapons and brinys.

Thul drops:
Colorful Glistenwing Cloak
Wingblade
Dead Man's Veil
Talon of Rexsaurkarus
Temple Raider's Cloak
Grael's Stud of Summoning
Sol Staff
Spike of Rituals
Thaell Ew Totem
Tribal Ritualist Stud

Dredge drops:
Dread Vnayyanye's Censor
Vnayyanye's Transfixion

I am guessing based on the known loot tables off Alla's that there may be some additional loots not listed here. All of them have the chance to drop Median, Greater, and Glowing brinys for sure.

Happy hunting.
 
Just FYI - This works for several of the missions as well like Degmar and Thuli but it does *not* work for Combine Dredge even though it's porting into the instance. I haven't tested it with Arx. Had no problem with the HAs as mentioned above though.
 
Too bad we cannot campfire into the upper tiers. I am have a very difficult time with the siren cavern quests. Especially the brothers quests, there are way too many adds near by the two sirens and the charmed brother, stupid spiny turtles.

THanks for the info about campfireing into the upper HAs.
