Ok so i just unlocked the NH skip on mythic (long last), but how come this isn’t a thing? Well i dont think it is. And why isnt this account wide for every skip possible right now? Makes life in WoW so much easier

Main reason skips are not account wide is cause they are introduced at each tier for current progression/refarm.
This kind of does not work when you unlock a skip, and can log in with your alt to give the “skip” to another group/guild without losing a save.
If it was an account wide thing, you would see raid skips being sold from the first month of the tier, which would ruin progression for many guilds.
It might be possible to change it after an expansion to make them account wide, but i am not familiar with how much work that would need (coding wise).
As Razgard mentioned, they were introduced when it was current content, much like you have skips in Aberus right now.
I think it wouldn’t hurt to make them account-wide, once the raid moved into Legacy Loot. I only run M Nighthold and Antorus on 1 character, since I have the skip unlocked there. Antorus is a pain to try and unlock the skip for now alone because of Eonar, so I just don’t do it.
Also some raids require quest lines to unlock. Never did BFA? So you need to do stuff to get into the final raid.
Owww and +20 portals, why isnt that account wide yet ?
This sounds like the ideal compromise! Or when the tier is replaced with a new raid.
In the absense of a proper skip I guess you can use the LFG tool and form a group between your main with the skip and an alt without and skip to the boss for the quest that gives you the skip.
Bit of a faff but you only need to do it four times per alt.
It doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) work for mythic difficulty as mythic raids work on an instance based lockout. Meaning that if you invite someone to your instance and they kill a boss (even if they solo it) the boss is dead in that lockout. And anyone who is saved to that instance also can’t join a different instance of the same raid on the same difficulty.
This is about getting the skip on an alt.
Main and alt join up in LFG. Both enter the raid. Main opens the door to upstairs (Nighthold) or similar. Alt goes upstairs and kills boss for quest item to get skip and can then kill whatevr bosses they want for transmog etc.
Sure, your main loses out on killing Guldan for mount if your alt kills him. But this is only 4 times then two chars have the skip going forward.
I believe OP wants to get the skip for all their alts so they can farm the mount, not unlock it one at a time (4 weeks for each alt) with this convoluted method.
I think it’s a reasonable request considering how the new SoO skip works.
I did say it was a faff.
I did it on a couple of alts but I was farming the mogs there. I did get one of Guldan’s mounts by accident when doing that. Nighthold mogs are pretty good in general.
I’m not ooposed to the idea of it being made Account Wide. But since it isn’t there is this.
