2.4 patch Raiding Improvements

0. 2.4 Raiding Improvements | 02/01/2008 10:34:29 AM PST

We have a few changes planned for patch 2.4 that we'd like to share a little bit with you. First, all 25-player raid bosses will drop more gold and those who dropped set tokens will drop one additional token. Additionally, the the loot dropped by Doomlord Kazzak and Doomwalker has been changed to bind-on-equip. These two outdoor raid bosses will also drop much more gold than before as well.

Lastly, Scale of the Sands reputation will now be awarded in Hyjal at a much higher.




Since I've decided there's absolutely no relevant thread I could ever find to throw out this info...

We're making some improvements to the way the looting UI and related functions work in 2.4. These are just a couple of the changes planned.

First when you loot a Bind on Pickup item that only you can pick up (such as Heroic Badges) you'll no longer see the confirmation dialog. One less pop-up to deal with, obviously you want your badges, AMIRITE?

Also when you loot a Bind of Pickup item the confirmation window is going to list the name of the item in the window. You'll be able to identify that you're getting the right items much easier now.

There are a few more but I won't ruin all the surprises.




Patch 2.4 will remove the restriction for Ritual of Summoning that prevents you from summoning players into instances. Provided the player meets the instance requirements, you'll be able to summon them in from anywhere in the world.



Once every 24 hours, through Enchanting (not Alchemy) you'll be able to split a Void Crystal into two Large Prismatic Shards. This is through a new recipe that's being added in 2.4.

This helps reduce the exorbitant prices currently being seen for Large Prismatics, and helps raise the value of the Void Crystals. While this is the only change planned in 2.4 to help the Void Crystal prices, we're still looking at the possibility of additional 'help' for Void Crystal value in the future.

Abigor fails are copying links.

[Elunar]

we should definitely start farming that junky old robot outside bt :)

[Abigor]

I think we should to. because I have to imagine any loot gotten from him so far will be "unsoulbound" and perhaps sellable for the guild bank.

And yes, I failed at the links.

[Treng_Old]

zzzz no?

[Elunar]

i doubt that loot gotten prior to the patch would become unsoul bound. i just meant after the patch although we'll probably be up to our ears in sunwell demons so who knows.

Wow, thank god for the Void -> LPS split. I have about 80 Void crystals collecting dust in my bank... mmmmoneybag$$$

No more down time bringing in new people from outside the instance into the raid. Hot damn, I like it.
