Hi all. My guildmates and myself got into a discussion about the BoE World Drop Epic drop rate. Thus far, I have personally seen 4 BoE epics drop since starting classic. Icemail Jerkin, Skullflame shield, Cloudkeeper Legplates and Elemental Mage Staff. All this in the 4 weeks since release.
My guildmates report similar trends. This seems to be a higher drop rate then expected. Indeed, I remember that in my Vanilla days, months could go by without seeing one drop. I was wondering if others out there think this is out of place for them too, or if random chance has decided to play tricks on just us.
I never saw a single BoE epic drop in vanilla, but I did experience it here in Classic once so far. And tons of blue BoEs!! Spoke to somebody who had seen three epic BoEs, and that was at about level 45.
In Vanilla I got an epic from a chest in Tanaris…So i can confirm they also deff drop in chests. Those random ones that spawn in the world. Forgot which epic it was, but it was not that great back then.
It was where ships were and all dockworkers are etc.
That was the only epic I had ever seen drop, for me alone in my WoW life back then. Seen only 1 blue on Classic drop for me alone.
