It was briefly fixed, but now it’s gone again… I wish I could say I have a good first impression of Dragonflight (the content itself is quite nice so far), but the UI, the item level issue, all the bugs and this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Silver dragon is for rare elites. Normal rares are marked with star.
Well, sad. I don’t even know what differentiates a rare “elite” from just a “rare”. So does that mean all the pre-MoP rares also don’t have a dragon because they are “normal” mobs just named and slightly stronger and rare?
Elite has more HP and is usually tougher to kill than regular enemy.
Rare has about the same HP as regular NPC, but usually drops something a bit nicer. Like a green item.
Rare Elite is like a Rare with drops but comes with Elite HP.
You’ll figure it out
It’s basically a bit of both. It’s your regular elite (more hp, dmg, abilities, whatnot) and a high chance to drop something good like the rares.
Pretty much this, and from what I’ve seen, all of them dropped a green BoE for me. That’s how I got a pretty yellow robe mog once
(In newer expansions, it’s a blue item in general, if not something like a pet or toy.)
To be honest, never noticed how some rare icons have wings and some don’t.
But anyway, I know what an “elite” is, but in WoW’s history it can mean anything from a harder mob (generally, in Classic, killing one at your level took like your whole mana bar and some kiting / healing) to a raid boss, so it also didn’t feel strange that some rares were much stronger than others.
