Collector's Bounty not working on Sylvanas SoD fight?

All the bosses drop extra loot, except for Sylvanas?

Also have been farming her with 30 characters now, and still no drop. While other mounts I have randomly farmed, I got within 5 attempts…

And yes, I know that a +5% increase in drop doesn’t = a free mount hehe. :slight_smile: But it seems odd to have farmed Sylvanas so many times, and so far NO ONE in those 30 groups have gotten her mount…

Does the Collector’s Bounty only work in solo runs? :sweat_smile: Which seems odd since all the other SoD bosses drop extra loot…

SoD & the collector’s bounty DOES work. I’ve seen this on all my characters (both solo & grouped), which I’ve gone there to clear.

You’re just making up excuses for the mount not dropping for you.

Remember that mount has a 5% chance to drop… 5, that means … there is a 95% chance that you will not get the mount.

There are also many other threads of people complaining about not getting this mount from this raid as well. So instead of creating more threads about this topic, it’s easier/cleaner to just add your experience to those existing threads.

Also, 30 runs is nothing. I probably ran Vortex Pinnacle over 100 times and only then the mount finally dropped. So keep trying, and you’ll maybe it, or maybe you won’t. You’re never promised to get all the mounts during this event, keep that in mind!

You are more busy “telling me off” than reading what I wrote and actually helping.

I gave plenty of valid actual reasons for why I feel like the drop isn’t working on there.

There is no help to provide. Try again after the reset this week and see if it drops.

You could have done yourself a favour and searched for this topic in the search bar :wink:

Your valid reason is that it never dropped for you! My valid response is you’re not guaranteed to get the mount on any of your runs. 5% out of 100% = 95% chance that you won’t get it.

30 runs, still 5% per run. The next run doesn’t stack to increase your chance. Nothing broken, nothing is bugged, everything is working fine! You are just very unlucky, pure & simple!

I know.

Had you not been more busy giving a “I’m sick of people posting about this” response, you would have seen I had written that.

And no… I gave reason for why believing that THIS particular boss might be bugged.

I gave so many arguments for why it could possibly be bugged.
Out of 600 people, not ONE got a drop. Statistically that’s not “+5%”.

So stop being mad about me posting about this, when there are legit reasons here to why I’m posting. If you are more busy using the forums to be negative, and don’t wanna help, that’s fine. But stop BS’ing.

Getting real sick og “toxic WoW gamers” and their crappy attitude. Just reply in a normal way, instead of being so angry, and have an attitude.

Perfectly resonable stats when the chance for no mount is 95% for all of them.

Thanks. Yeah it seems really odd :slight_smile: My friend who has been farming it too, hasn’t seen a single drop from anyone either.

Same goes for the Nine mount too, which half the groups continued farming after. Although the tmog drops did actually have the correct amount dropping, based on the buff. :thinking:

Unfortunatly every kill is a 95% chance to have no mount. Even with the buff you could kill a boss all day long and never see a drop.

Yeah statistically it’s a +5% chance EACH kill.

It’s not that “every 20 runs you get a drop”.

But with about 600 people running it, it seems odd to not see a single drop. That’s more of a “typical 1% drop chance”.

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

Think on reset, I’ll give it a shot soloing it. Just to see if that somehow makes the extra tmog drops actually work on Sylvanas, which would indicate the buff then working.

2 times I heard a person say in the groups, that you “need to solo the raid for it to work”… So it’s worth a shot to test. :hugs:

I’ve already told that you get more items per boss. If you’re in a group/raid, of course you’re not going to notice because you’re going to be needing/greeding, instead of seeing all the items in your inventory at once.

The mount is personal and not group loot, so it doesn’t matter if you run it solo or in a raid. The chances of getting the mount are the same now, as they were yesterday and will be tomorrow!

Also, the person who said “you need to solo that raid for it to work”… I guess people believe anything these days.

you are unlucky like I am with Jailer (50 kills and no mount), GL next week
I got Sylvanas mount after 15th kill BTW
119 Jailer loots overall but I heard it’s 1 drop per raid so I started to do it solo without multiple chars

Thanks! :slight_smile: And grats on the mount!

Glad to hear from someone, they are getting it. And that it is most likely just bad luck.

Hope you get the Jailer mount on the 51st attempt. :hugs:

I got sylvanas’ mount first kill this week while doing it with my girlfriend in a normal party, not raid group. I also got the nine mount after 5 kills from doing in multiple difficulties but solo. I think it dropped on hc for me.

I spent the last 2 days farming the jailer on all of my alts, I have about 30ish characters. I did some 5 man groups but the majority was spent doing these in 20 people raids since most of my characters are undergeared. Not one raid dropped a single mount for anyone. I agree with you, statistically it should be visible that the droprate was increased by 5%. And people have complaining about all of the raids they’re doing, not just jailer or sylvanas. People also complained Ny’alotha didn’t give any mounts to raid groups.

It’s not about the 5% buff being low anyways or getting free mounts. Out of the 16 mounts I still needed prior to this event I’ve gotten 10 drop this week so far. But for example jaina’s mount and the ny’alotha allseer I’ve not gotten to drop yet even though I soloed it on all of my doable alts. And I’m fine with that, I still have 3 weeks left to try and get those. And maybe I will not get them at all. I’m just saying that doing 25ish runs on jailer in mostly full raid groups and not one of them drops even a single mount for any of those 20 people per run seems not consistent with the added 5% buff. And those are just my runs, I’ve heard of people doing way more raid runs and not seeing a single mount drop on theirs as well.

Every try you have a chance to fail, but the accumulative chance of 600 differnt tries without dropping is 0.95^600.

That’s 4, 30 × 10^-14. Or 4 in a hundred trillion. It is true that 5% doesn’t guarante the drop in 20 tries and among thousands of players there should be unlucky ones but a hundred trillion unlucky is suspicious.

So, either the mount doesn’t have the extra buf…or that 600 tries value isn’t correct

update, I’ve now gotten the jailer mount today after 4 kills with just me and my gf in the group (not a raid)

You are one lucky undead. Don’t think that it is normal.

If you see the buff dropping off or any bugs with it, it’s best to report them in game using the bug report.

Eyyy grats! :hugs:

Just got my Sylvanas mount 5min ago too after 6 attempts. :slight_smile:

Did it soloing her instead, since I noticed soloing would make Sylvanas drop the correct amount of loot.

People during my previous 50’ish runs would ask if “I had disabled the Collector’s Bounty buff?”, because the amount of loot dropping was incorrect, as if the buff wasn’t enabled… But doing it solo fixed the loot issue.

So here are my overall drops so far during this event:

  • Blue drake = 4 attempts
  • Jaina mount = 5 attempts
  • Deathwing mount = 1 attempt
  • Sylvanas mount = 50’ish attempts in full raid groups with no luck, with only ONE other player getting the mount, out of the 1000 people I ran the raid with… Then when I the next reset tested it out doing it solo, it took me 6 attempts. :tipping_hand_man:

So honestly… Considering that my luck was THAT bad with only THAT mount, which was the ONLY one I created groups for, I think there is a bug with specifically Sylvanas, when doing it in groups. :slight_smile:

I agree, it seems odd… The 600 attempts though is correct. I did it with full groups every attempt, since I wanted to help people farm it using my raid skip.
