Blizzard said this phase it wouldn’t be a gold sink.
However the 2 essences of earth we need to craft the epic shoulders only drop from lvl55+ rock elementals and at a VERY low droprate.
This phase only 1 appeared on the AH at a price of 35g.
Seems pretty unfair compared to the other classes/professions who don’t need such an ellusive item x2 from higher level mobs.
This way we Warlock Tanks won’t even be able to get the epic shoulders at all this phase.
Please change it to something more attainable at current levels or ditch it entirely from the recipe.
No, he’s crying about potentially bad game design.
I don’t know whether he is right or not, are the other epic crafts easier to craft with easier to obtain materials? Because if they are then this is not parity and is punishing some players over other players.
the leather engineer bracers are easy to craft. only the mats coming from ST can be a bit expensive or time consuming to get.
I gotta admit it sucks that your mats can only drop from lvl 55+ mobs as it seems like bad design. But I wouldn’t worry too much, if there’s a demand people will farm them and 35g isn’t that much.
I’ve been unlucky on the rands after we cleared ST and got only 1 nightmare seed - needed 10 for my craft so I bought them at the AH while they were around 20g/u. If it’s like gnomer the price will drop starting next reset but I wanted to get it done.
Nightmare Incursions are a good gold farm, you can easily get 50g+ an hour with a grp.
Didn’t they just update those to give less gold yesterday?
[edit]
Also, I guess this is my own problem but I also find the incursions to be cancer to do.
If incursions are an expected gold farm at this point then I guess I’ll become so poor that the game stops being fun and I stop playing it at some point cause I just really find them to be a cancer to do.
It has been nerfed in a weird way as not every quest give gold. Usually the easiest ones but it’s still very efficient.
Have you tried the incursions lvl 50 ? It has nothing to do with the ashenvale one.
I like to farm for about one hour/day on feralas and it’s actually pretty chill during the day. Few groups going around and once you know where to pick up items/get rescue going/know location of the bosses it’s not too bad.
I actually prefer that rather than my mindless runs around badlands farming mithril for ore during last phase. I do incursions mainly for the gold and am about to reach exalted. It’s a win-win.
