The great Canned Minnows LIE by Blizzard!

Junkyard Tinkerer is an achievement on Mechagon Isle that requires your character (not account) to tinker 1000 items in total. So far prior patch 8.2.5 this was done creating 5 Canned Minnows costing 25 scrap and 3 Ionized Minnow. The minnows are easily gotten from the vaccum-cleaner from the fishing NPC, the real gating on this achievement was a total of 100 SPARE crates (25x1000).

According to this wowhead post ( https://www.wowhead.com/news=295145/patch-8-2-5-content-update-patch-notes ) having Blizzards notes concerning patch 8.2.5 it says:

β€œThe prices for consumables crafted from Pascal-K1N6 have been reduced.”

Great right since Canned Minnows is a consumable? It is a painful grind/gate the achievement, so reduced cost is most welcome. So like a naive boy, I believed Blizzard and held off my crafting materials for the patch.

Logging in on patch day today, the cost is now 50 scrap and 6 ionized minnow for 10 consumables. Basically they doubled the cost, which now makes the achievement cost a whopping 200 SPARE crates instead of the previous 100 SPARE crates which was insane to begin with.

So much for believing patch notes and believing Blizzards. Not only is it a lie, they double up in opposite direction.

Have a nice Wednesday people.
