😞 Something WoW Related That Made You Frown Today (Part 1)

Got all the way to Yogg-Saron in my incessant hunt for mounts only to find Ulduar had switched to Normal. I went back out changed back to Heroic, re-entered and it was Normal again. I then read somewhere that it’s only normal and there isn’t a heroic version. So how is it that the info for a chance Mimiron might drop is that you need to be heroic no watchers. No watchers easy. Heroic apparently not possible.
Very grumpy.

Let me quote myself:

Ulduar is a raid that have a conditional hardmode that gives you the chance to be rewarded additional loot from respective bosses. Each boss with hard mode available requires you to do something specific to that boss to enable their respective hard mode for that boss.
Also Ulduar was previously available as both N10 and N25, but is now merged together to N10 for timewalking compatibility, and all old N25 loot is available among with the old N10 loot in the current N10 version. This doesn’t matter in regards to hardmode anyway, just FYI.

The mount drop requires hardmode, not Heroic.

Yogg-Saron - whenever you freed the titan keepers from the influence of Yogg Saron, they will stand around the central room and offer a buff as their way of helping you take down this last boss. Normally this is promptly ignored as highlevel characters doesn’t need the buff to down Yogg-Saron.
This is relevant to the hardmode, as it’s legacy difficulty and following chance for hardmode loot scales with the amount of titan keepers that helps you with their buffs during the encounter. Since we highlevel characters don’t have to care about getting helped by them, we get the hardest hardmode and best chances for hardmode loot automatically without having to do anything.
