Changes to World of Warcraft’s legendary drop rate
One of the most noticeable changes to World of Warcraft’s legendary drop rates is the addition of raid-based versions of these items. These raid-based versions of legendary items no longer rely on random number generation (RNG). Instead, players can now obtain legendary memories by completing quests and killing bosses. While they still have a chance of dropping legendary items, the drop rates of these legendary items have gone up by a considerable amount.
The recent hotfix also increased the drop rates of crafting materials. Dark Soul Ash, Shadowlands Ores, and Lightless Silk are now all buffed to drop at a higher rate. This should help players craft more legendary items more easily. Those who haven’t had much luck crafting their legendary items may find this news disappointing. In order to counteract this problem, players should consider farming for these materials.
Another change affects Reclaim, which reduces damage from certain enemies periodically. On Heroic, Reclaim now reduces damage by 25% of its original value. In addition, Ephemeral Motes have reduced damage by 20% on Normal and 25% on Heroic. Added bonus to the legendary drop rate is the fact that Reclaim also reduces damage from Anduin’s Befouled Barrier.
Fixes to issues with Xy Relic Dealer spawning after timer expires
Known problems with Xy Relic Dealer spawn after timer expires have been fixed in 5.4. This problem was caused by two things. First, when you are in an area with several Xy Relic Dealers, destroying them will trigger the ‘Decipher Relic’ quest. This quest will then be completed, and the player will be rewarded with the Xy Relics. Second, Xy Spellslingers will no longer target the same player twice during the same encounter. Third, in the same zone, a player will not be targeted by two Xy Spellslingers. Last, the timer will now last for only 10 seconds, rather than the usual 30.
Third, in Legion, a player’s Pocopoc’s Energy now increases immediately after researching Maxlim. Secondly, if the player’s Pocopoc has the ‘Decrypted Urh Cypher’ item, the quest will no longer prompt the player to choose a mount. Lastly, this quest will no longer cause the player to get disconnected while inspecting another player in a Premade Group. Fourth, players will no longer accidentally reset their Vigilant Guardian’s ‘Echoing Resolve’ ability after they re-enter the world.
Other minor changes in the Xy Relic dealer are fixed in the game’s settings. Now, players can separate the first wave of enemies in Myza’s Oasis and receive an additional warning whenever they were targeted by Purged by Fire. Tal-Inara will now reward players for skipping a quest. It was previously impossible to complete the quest, causing an unnecessary loss of experience.
Changes to Legendary Power recipes
Previously, the drop rate for Relic Fragments was much lower than it is now. This is changing as of the latest patch. The average number of relics dropped by daily quests and weekly reward chests will increase by 20%. Additionally, a new quest called “Relic Efficiency” will increase the drop rate of relics by 20%. The quest will also increase the average number of relics dropped by players.
Runecarving and Runecrafting recipes are now 100% drop-rate on all difficulties. This means that you will not need to worry about a lack of Runecarver gear to craft legendary power recipes. In addition, you can now complete the initial quest chain of the Runecarver in Torghast to receive a legendary memory. The recipe now only requires two gear slots, while the relic drops from a relic of a legendary.
Pocopoc’s Energy was updated right after researching Maxlim. In addition, you no longer need to worry about the “force field” effect as it reduced the amount of damage taken by an exposed core. On Normal and Heroic difficulty, the Force Field effect now reduces damage taken by the enemy by 20% or less. Additionally, the Damage done by the Wicked Star and Xy Acolytes were changed as well. They should now be more reliable to cast. Finally, you should no longer encounter the Skolex boss without defeating Anduin, as they used to be. This also affected the drop rate of Soul Cinder, a new legendary power recipe.
