Dungeon/raid mounts drop rate lower since SL release?

Community General Discussion

Hello, stick with me on this one and only respond in a polite manner please, I am very curious about feedback for this.

I have started heavily mount farming in May of 2020. In the span of May-November I have received most of the dungeon and raid mounts with the exception of Ashes, Blue Proto-Drake, Mimiron’s Head, Ji-Kun, one Dragon Soul mount, Siege mount, Legion raid mounts and Underrot + Mechagon mounts.

I rarely skip a week (hard to skip during covid lockdown times), usually run the instances on multiple alts (most of them 4, Mimiron’s Head 12 per week) and recently I realised I cannot recall when was the last time I got a dungeon/raid mount drop.

Truly, I was struggling to remember my latest drop and then I realised, the last one I recall is approximately the end of the year, which was I believe Elagon mount.

Now, I understand the logic of probability the more mounts you get and the lesser instances you farm. However in the time of May-November, I was mostly farming on my main only. Which means since November, I am putting in about 400% more effort with almost zero reward for it.

The reason why I am posting this is because it hit me that I am struggling to drop anything ever since SL came out. Now is this just a silly ridiculous coincidence or were the old drop rates lowered or something? Has anyone else noticed this? I find it hilarious how I’m thinking I can hardly recall a drop for the last 8 months and then it hits me - that’s the time of Shadowlands release.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I haven’t read anything about it tbh, so they haven’t announced such nerf if it even happened in the first place.

The drop rate is already quite low, it’s very likely that you’ve just been unlucky.

RNG is RNG.

You could use the exact same logic and exact same circumstance and say “I was incredibly lucky at the end of BFA” instead of “The game has been nerfed?”

The mounts you listed as having left to earn are rare mounts that many people farm for years.

Nah not really. Rng is rng. As someone who has farmed every dungeon/raid mount up until Legion I can say it has always been that way.

Just recently I had to do 335 attempts to get Huolon. 2 of my friends in the same farm group got it on 7th and 17th attempt and another random person on 1st attempt.

I know someone who is on well over 300 attempts to obtain Ashes and hasn’t seen it drop yet so long runs of not seeing anything aren’t unusual. I would say that was unusual was your initial good luck.

Im also busy farming mounts.

When i started in may i had very luck and got Ashes in 30 attems, Onyxia in 10, Raven lord in 20, Flame of Azz in like 20, Swift Zulian panther on 1(!) attempt, and a few more like from a rare in Legion and so.

Since that i havent got ANY drop and im farming daily with 15 alts. Blue proto drake? Never drops. Drakes from Uldum? Never drops. Blackrock mount? Never.
Karazan mount? Never. Deepholm mount? Nope.

Guess its just the way of life:)
