Have you ever been stuck in Azeroth, unable to get back to Outland because your hearthstone is down, and wondered if there was a way to easily get back to Outland without having to run through the Dark Portal itself?
Well, there's a way. Even when your hearthstone is down, there's a repeatable way to activate it and send you back to your hearth point.
On our realm, we call it the "Ghetto Hearth", because it's a cheap bit of a "cheat" to get back "home.
How is it done? Simple:
Join a party, and enter into an instance, and leave the party.
Then, a few moments after you leave the party, the game will notice you're not in the same party anymore and it will put up a notification: 60 seconds and you'll be returned to your hearth point.
All you have to do is wait out the notice and it'll hearth you back!
I use guildmates for this all the time, and sometimes I see people on Trade asking for a party for Ghetto Hearth, and I generally extend an invite to help them out.
Any other tricks like this one I should write about?
