Bullions - too low drop rate

Why is the drop rate of bullions so damn low?!

Every week I clear LFR on 15+ characters until I have all the bullions I can get on each char, but on several of them I clear all 8-9 bosses and have 0 bullions to show for it. The only reason I do these LFR runs are for the bullions. It’s such a waste of time.
Why can’t the last boss in each wing have a guaranteed chance to loot atleast one bullion? Would it really hurt you, B?

By the way if you’re not playing them actively and just clear for the bullion cosmetics, you can wait till we’ve obtained all bullions. They get added retroactively.

Are you sure you’re not already capped on those characters? This sounds highly unlikely. I capped from 0 to all 3 bullions in 2 LFR wings last week, and so did everyone else I know and play with.

I’m not sure the game drop rates should be tuned around somebody playing “gotta catch em all” on 15 characters.

I don’t think this is a drop rate issue in the first place. Regardless of the number of characters someone plays. Either those characters are already at the cap or they’re not doing awakened raids. Something stinks here.

It happened to me twice and I’m getting bullions on two characters in total. Unfortunately, RNG does RNG things.

I don’t disagree, it stinks from every level but I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that they can at least figure out what characters they have received bullion on - as misplaced as that may be.

I’ve never gone more than 2 bosses without one but I guess it can happen.

No, but I think they should guarantee that a single character can 100% get them with a raid clear - which would by nature make all 15 of the OP’s work out.

Although I’m not sure there are even 15 individual cosmetics on the bullion vendor. Lots of trinkets and rings, some weapons which will have overlap with that many alts.

They added cosmetic vendors.

Wait they did? I may have missed these…

I am not sure what the droprates are. My ret friend cleared heroic and got the bullion literally on the last boss of the raid. I did 2 LFR wings on this mistweaver in week 1 and did not get a bullion. Then i did in the 2nd week 1 wing and got on the 2nd boss of that wing 2 bullions dropped at once. Last week the 3rd LFR boss dropped the bullion.

It seems RNG is RNG.

Wdym?

I always get my bullions within one wing, on all chars I do LFR on. I do LFR specifically because I always have to clear the whole raid on the other difficulties before it finally drops while I’ve always gotten one within a wing in LFR.

Yeah, they’re in the same room, not in the middle but to the side.

I will check those out later… I only knew about the bullion and tier token vendors :dracthyr_comfy_sip:

At least now I have an excuse not to buy the annoying BiS trinket that I don’t really want to have to play around :dracthyr_sweat:

I play 3 and none of them had any issues looting bullions. I’ve not seen anybody have this issue either, which I imagine I’d hear about considering I’m in a raiding guild and have contacts in several other guilds.

Unless this is a new bug from this week, meaning that people aren’t looting their 6th bullion from Vault, I’m more inclined to believe there’s an issue in something other than the drop rate. But then again, I’ve not seen nor heard anyone have this issue including this reset.

Fair enough.

It’s just RNG. The bullions have a high drop rate but it’s not 100%. Meaning you can sometimes just get unlucky. Few people in my guild had that issue, so did I. It’s not unrealistic, just unlucky.
Also it happened in the first week only for me, today I got it in my first Raszageth kill.

I mean, bugs are obviously a thing so I’m not discounting that, but to chalk this up to just RNG is really, really odd.

Again, I’ve a pretty big netrwork of people from several raiding guilds in which most people play more than one character, including myself, and I’ve not seen a single case of this issue, yet you’re telling me that this happend to you twice and that several people from just your guild alone had this issue as well. The likelihood of that is astronomically low if it’s “just RNG”.

Even if this was a bug it would be very strange that this happened to one person twice and also to several people in their guild. This sounds more like a confusion on how the bullion drops work.

One explanation I could see is that you and the others already had the bullion cap in your bags but didn’t realize it until later, thinking it took the whole raid just to loot one bullion. I’m saying this because that’s what happened with my friend just the other day. She was complaining that she’s not getting her bullions only to realize she already had 3 in the bags by the time we killed Tindral.

Keep in mind that the system is designed to give you a bullion every week, as well as catch you up to the cap if you’re behind. That alone makes it even more unlikely that you and your friends seem to have this happen to you somewhat regularly.

Nope! I tend to pay attention to this. I’m not OP, so that may apply to them but I tend to remember things, even if I play an x amount of characters. Sometimes it just takes a full raid clear rather than 2 bosses and that’s okay if you play 2 characters. For me anyway.

That’s the whole point of the thread by the way. OP didn’t like the fact that it took them more bosses to obtain the bullions on some characters out of 15. That’s why I also suggested that they do it later so they can get all bullions at once.

Lol really cannot be serious about u saying doing 8-9 bosses an it doesnt drop, i do it on 4 chars and it ALWAYS drops from the first 3 bosses.
