Follower equipments... they need a rework

[Udig-silvermoon]

I’ve been testing fishing equipment about a month and the results i got is a complete joke.
I’m using 4x fishing equipment and sending at least 6 mission per day without missing a day. My monthly results are:
11x Slimy Mackarel
20x Sand Shifter
49x Frenzied Fangtooth
51x Tiragarde Perch
45x Lane Snapper
27x Great Sea Catfish

I’ve recently started to use other equipments on different characters too and results are similar.
This needs a rework. They are expensive to craft and give nothing in exchange. The only partially usefull ones are demanding really high amount of mats. They are not accessible. Wasn’t a fan of legion rng system but at least we didn’t have to pay 50-100k for something half decent. Either completely remove them from game or do something about it.

legion mission table was not perfect, but was 10 times better than BfA one.
it feels very bland and rushed.
not only we have ultra expensive equipment that does not improve or alter the choices on who to send on a mission, only an unrewarding rng for extra loot, but also:
random troops with no control on what kind of type to recruit, I often have not a single troop right for a mission i want to do.
affixes combos that are not bypassable, like the stealth one ( malus if you send troops) and the cursed one that prevents bonus loot ( only counterable by troops) together.
rep tokens even when you’re already exalted, with no paragon reps, or BoA tokens to send to alts, and on multiple occasion i had ONLY rep missions available.
gold rewards are a joke.

I agree.

In principle, the followers HAVE a slot.

Crafters can CRAFT an item for said slot.

Make it worthwhile, ffs.

Otherwise, remove the slot all together. Why have it, if it’s going to be an insult?

As Kayleen said, Legion mission tables were 10x better. At least 10x better.

WoD sailing missions are STILL better, at least you can still try to get a BoA heirloom ring, if you’re lucky enough to have the mission.

In theory this system should have been better. It gave professions a chance to be usefull and removed the rng on equipments. They were not targetable in legion. But if the best they can think about equipments is the one we currently have then this is pure garbage. The numbers i put on my post were literally results of 34 days. They barely worth 2k gold.It seems and feels like this equipments have like 0.5 drop chance. It’s been 4 days since i post the numbers and i didn’t receive any drop from missions and still actively sending followers to missions.

This is why I’ve not bothered crafting any follower equipment so far. The results are not worth the effort.

I think you havent looked at all the follower items. Theres some good ones.

Blacksmiths can craft a +10% success chance item, and a -20% mission duration one.

Leatherworkers can craft an item that gives +10% success chance per minion along.

I think you haven’t read all of my post.
Those half decent ones costs a fortune and doesn’t really worth that gold

[Greezle-earthen-ring]

Untrue for the leatherworking one. Super cheap to make. I had so many expulsom early at the start of BFA that I skilled up Leatherworking to the point of making them to outfit all my peons. Then I dropped it again.

Nearly all BFA leatherworking materials are sold at trash prices, save blood-soaked bones which isnt used here.

At my realm expulsom is valued 800-900 gold at lowest. If you are crafting actively you most likely spending 3-4 hours a day to scrap and still have not enough expulsom.Agree about other mats tho but still it’s not really reachable and legion green equipments were way better then this.

[Greezle-earthen-ring]

im currently sitting on 250 expulsom from doing alchemy xmute and scrapping trinkets for about 5 weeks or so.

[Udig-silvermoon]

I’m currently at 0 expulsom and crafting darkmoon cards. Spending min 3-4 hours a day and wasting 100-150k each day to prof. scrap. If you have something to spend them on , they became the rarest mat

[Greezle-earthen-ring]

why are you making darkmoon cards still? seems even more like a waste of materials now.

[Udig-silvermoon]

If you min/max carefully , they are still giving huge profits in high pop realms and for low pop realms they are really profitable to craft. There aren’t really much competition for low pop realms and prices are still high.
