I was wondering if anyone had any solid figures?
Any bad luck protection?
Like averages?
Because I am seeing alts running around with 421 gear and a 457 leggo…
Yet my main thats pushing mythic raid hasnt even seen 1 drop at all!
Thank you

They say it’s about luck.
I know someone who took it from LFR first time he did it. Meanwhile I have 7 kills on nm+hc and it didn’t.
For 3 expansions I keep saying that loot has nothing to do with RNG. There is no possible coincidence that people underperforming take best items pretty quick (they still underperform, but they take free dps so they won’t be that far behind).
I’ve seen this happening in keys, in raids (people who barely did 25-30% of their performance got the items with 100 rolls, and I’ve seen it a lot of times, not isolated cases).
It is, but that doesn’t make it a good system

Thats my thoguhts exactly.
I have been farming Sark on Heroic every week. Yet some people hit LFR and normal and get it?
Surely they cant expect people to enjoy seeing alts with the weapon their main would get a HUGE use out of?
So imagine being benched during Prog due to RNG. Another slightly worse Evoker has it in your team but they get picked because they have the legendary so they buff the raid?
Basically RNG got you benched.
GG Blizzard. I would prefer there to be no legendary than this system for sure
You will get it, have patience fellow dracthyr
Was the same for the Sylvanas bow, I killed it basically every week on two difficulties, never got it, that’s just how legendary items are.
Our Evoker having killed the boss on NM and Heroic every week since the raid launched has only just got it in our most recent HC kill.
An article about it on WoWhead recently. No confirmed drop rate, but an opinion piece.
Personally, if I get it I get it, if not I don’t. It’s. there to be a cool item to get.
Its just luck. However you have one chance per week to obtain it. So you should always kill sarkareth on the highest difficulty available to you each week since doing it on LFR first would hard lock you out of normal, heroic and mythic with each higher difficulty having a higher drop rate.
No. Thats not how it works
Running on Mythic is your highest chance. Running it lower after that won’t give you any better chance.
However, LFR gives the lowest chance. But if you run Normal after, you have a bit more chance, same for Heroic and then Mythic.
There is only a certain amount of chance you’ll get it each week. You won’t get more chance by running lower, but you will by running higher.
But the chance of you getting it running just Heroic is exactly the same as running LFR, Normal and Heroic in the same week.
Ye i rechecked. So if you do it on LFR first youre going to get LFR drop chance on mythic.
That’s not how it works.
We have no exact math on how it works, we only have blizzard’s word that running it on a single difficulty removes the need to run it on anything below that for that week. From this one possible way it works could be that each difficulty is assigned a number of “Rolls” of an arbitrarily sided die.
LFR rolls once
Normal rolls twice
Heroic rolls thrice
Mythic rolls 4 times
If you roll LFR then normal, you get 1 roll and then the difference which is another roll.
If you do only mythic, you get all 4 rolls at once
If you do LFR then heroic, 1 roll then 2 rolls.
The most you ever get is 4, and every order you do them in always results in the same number of rolls as the highest difficulty you did.
Well the way Bornakk chose to write it is already confusing as well. Could mean it locks you out if you do mythic for then doing it on HC. Could be the 4 rolls as you said or since we dont know how blizzard entirely calculates it it could be that you should do lfr into normal into hc into mythic. Given Bornakk also didnt post again on the matter just makes it worse.
And according to the thread it appears people have gotten the item even on a lower difficulty after having done a higher one.
As far as I’ve seen it’s only been heresay. It’s all hearsay, but if you were to take the intent at face value and compare to where blizzard have used similar distribution: difficulty methods before (EP essence fragments) then what I posted makes the most sense.
Frankly I think not everyone should get rare items and the complaints / lengths people are cutting off their own feet making multiple evokers is pretty amusing. Players really do need saving from themselves.
Oh I havent said your post doesnt make sense. It does. Im just saying Bornakks phrasing is quite confusing and even the hearsay may have some level of credibility at least as far as Blizzard is concerned since it wouldnt be out of this world to have happened (and given the sheer multitude of bugs and whatnot we had in dragonflight thus far especially in regards of some drop rates im not really into giving blizzard the benefit of the doubt)
Ah depends. We dragged a guild mates 2 evokers with us on heroic. Didnt really bother us. But ye if you make multiple evokers and then pug on every single one of them then ye, you really shouldnt do that.
Indeed, it does need clarity but I don’t think it needs inevitability.
Exactly te attitude to have. Not demanding gimme now
