I’m talking about Iskaara Trader’s Ottuk in the first season it was still considered hard to get but you could be lucky and have one of the necks to show up in the weekly vault but that season is over and now it’s a nightmare to farm. The Eye of the Vengeful Hurricane neck rarely drops and when it does you have to compete with +20 other players for that item. You also have to get another neck item from another boss which makes this mount farm unbearable and really frustrating to farm. This is not your typical mount farm with a very low drop chance this is a mount farm with rng inside rng and inside another rng mechanic. I have a solution for this problem. Let the necks still be able to drop from the boss and then have a low drop chance for personal loot for these 2 bosses Terros and Dathea or you could add these 2 items back to the weekly vault.
It’s a unhealthy and frustrating farm.
Yes I agree, and I have the mount just to be clear.
This farm backfired severely, and it was one of the worst mounts to obtain by far (arguably even after Zereth Mortis protoform BS).
I’m not sure I agree with that. It was very easy to farm when it was the current raid tier. Most players ran Lariat and the neck was always going spare. It may be harder now that it’s not the current raid. I can accept that.
ZM was the worst combination of a mote farm and RNG drops from content. I still need one recipe that drops from the paragon, and two other recipes I don’t have the required drop.
The Ottuks in comparison where just a few that required items from farmable content. I’m not saying it was the best idea. However I don’t agree that ZM was better.
This is very far from being true in general. I’m almost 100% certain that this was the case in Mythic, or atleast in Heroic, however normal and LFR runs were mainly flooded by people that didn’t use the Lariat.
My personal experience - I started farming this mount when the ‘Turbulent timeways’ event occurred. On 2 alts, I received the Terros neck, and on my 3rd I got the Dathea one. I wanted to get the other one on these 3 toons, however when it did drop, around 20 people rolled for it, and upon inspecting, some people actually needed the neck. While I’m not for min-maxing, I’d still argue that it’s not really a good design to lose a piece of gear, that’s gonna make you stronger, to someone that’s gonna use it to buy a mount.
Also keep in mind you encounter alot of competition, and there’s always a chance that the neck won’t even drop. On occasions it dropped, atleast 15 people rolled for it. Once I lost the Dathea neck for the 3rd time, I just bought it for 100k gold from someone.
I agree, but atleast there’s no competition for it.
Nothing to do with Mythic, I even got my necks in Nm and Hc just rolling in group loot in pugs because nobody cared for them.
nobody wanted this garbage neckle from terros everybody was rolllin with elemental lariat
i got to keep one terros neckle cause “tuskars might be interested in it”
