it can be done but imo its just for shits and giggles (pro status) as youll most likely end up waiting for vale or pits or a bad mnts to finish. not to mention it takes experienced timing and even then it has a high fail rate.

but here's what to shoot for if youre testing this out (this is not the fastest way, as mentioned above you can glitch the mindblades but try this way 1st to get a feel for the timing):
-get to plains monument
-kill patrol & pops & terrors
-cast recall on reaper
-take quest
-run to pools side
-agro pools side and lure them towards pits side (make sure they're all following you)
-wait for the pits side groups to be nearly passed the banished dreamrider entering towards reaper
-cancel recall and agro the pits side groups
-lure them BEHIND monument -- make sure to keep terrors agroed onto you and dont let them break or move or they'll agro reaper and you're done
-continue luring them BEHIND the monument towards pools side
-by this time pools side should be agroing onto you
-keep everything away from reaper and kill

once you get that down fairly well, try doing it without killing the mindblades. kill the banished at monument and glitch everything else in the same manner as you pulled pools side groups toward pits.

good luck

no, you kill the lone banished to pop the mindblades and then aggro them at the end of their patrol, use them to fuel damage to kill everything.

Leave the 6 mindblades and the terrorwebs alive, pull the mindblades out to pools side so they don't aggro the reaper when he spawns, then sliver down the terrorwebs & go glitch the mindblades, come back & then do 4h.

It's about 5 mins faster

abit too complicated for pugs? and i dont get it... so, you've killed the rider in the center and poped the three mindblade wave... you then kill the other 2 banished riders and have in total 6 mindblades (3 that always spawn when u get there and 3 from the first rider u killed)... these 6 mindblades u get them into poolsside away from reaper and u recall back to reaper to kill the dryders? thats what i understood... this seems to be easy and it will definitely keep you from killing 21 more enemies... was that what u said Icy?
cause whenever i did plains, when i get to the turn from reaper area to poolsside 4h area, the mindblades lose aggro... and thats still way too close to the reaper to be safe...

thx in advance

Usually plains pop reaper 10-15 min (I`m curious about advice what groups is best to take then), and pools is usually 10-13min done, so solo 4h is just for "pro" status

This isn't for pugs, it's mainly for groups trying to get a decent time. Experienced people can do plains in 7mins using this, it saves having to wait for pools. In an "pro" group pools would be done in 6-7mins (+ like 40seconds-1min to run to plains), plains reaper can be up in 5-6mins, so why wait if you can solo it?

It's also handy for people duo running UW.

OK I get how to do this, just to clarify which way do you pull the pits side horsemen? Green or white:

As you can see I went along green, but I don't know if I simply lost aggro of the terrors or I went the wrong way.


Anybody who didn't fully understand like me ^^ to bug the 6 mindblades you pull them to pools side then across towards pits, so when you recall out they head straight towards statue and get stuck on the wall in-between them and the statue.

You pull them along the green line. Hug the wall, they only pull to around where the tree is, so you went to far. you can always use a bow to intercept the ones coming from pools side.

nope, because you never have to fight just 1 aatx, well, i don't have to.
when you aggro stuff, there are always ghraspings with it and sliver targets the aatx first, so in the end you got ghraspings left, which you can attack

I have a question regarding the mindblades. So u dont have to kill the 3 sets of mindblades, the ones that spawn from the ground? You can just kill them after 4h as long as u argo them first before they get to the reaper right? Meaning u kill the 3 that spawn from the middle dream rider, then you get the 6mindblades that spawn after, and then the 9mindblades that spawn after that.

The 3 mindblades which spawn more get glitched when you recall out, they just stay in the middle of plains and you just leave them there.

I've uploaded a video as well. I did it more "tutorial-style" with guildelines on how to do it. Please rate and tell me what you think.

4H solo tutorial

To glitch the mindblades:
Kill the Banished that spawns it. Run away and do NOT let them take agro. When they arrived and are moving around aimlessly, you can agro them and you can glitch them. You have to go as if you were heading for the entrance of the plains but you have to go via the poolsside. There is a small tree on your way, when you almost reached that, you must shoot the Dryders with a longbow and you can death's charge to it. If they're out of range, you have to walk as if you were going for pits until they break agro. Then go back to dryders via pitsside. Kill everything that's left there: the three mindblades that pop near reaper and 2 banished and maybe some Wailing lords if you hadn't killed them already.

From what I've heard, it involves an exploit (you pull a group then use recall to get them stuck, due to an exploit of AI pathing).

If it is in fact an exploit (getting MOBs stuck out of combat, due to AI pathing bug), then it seems to be a bannable offense...
