I have been suggesting this sort of drop-chance gradual increase for years and years. This should be applied across the board for all the coveted items such as mounts, pets, rare transmogs, etc. Each time the item does not drop, the next attempt after reset will be a small tiny bit greater, and keep increasing until the item drops for you. No one should have to spend years and hundreds of attempts on an item in a video game.

@deadcan472 ай бұрын
Same experience. I had a few unopened caches on alt from before the buff. Logged on after and opened them and got double rewards. It's not the caches that are buffed but your character has a buff that increases the amount gained. So if they changed the values on character buff it could work. Not sure if it's worth saving cause another buff might never happen.

FYI if you buy on an alt something you already purchased and learned, the game will allow you to buy it but not to learn it. then you can vendor it back and get reimbursed. I learned that after purchasing something by mistake a 2nd time.

People need to stop complaining about how higher drop rates mean less prestige. Anything achievement-related (keystone master or AOTC or a multi-part chain or some weird mechanic) is still prestigious. It is not prestigious to have a mount that you had to spend years farming but the guy next to you got it the first time because it's a random drop (I'm talking to YOU, Heavenly onyx Cloud Serpent!) Everything that isn't achievement-related should have a higher drop chance OR ideally an increased drop chance on subsequent attempts. Sounds like Blizzard is going with increased chance, and I'm here for it!

The first attempt of the day on your account having a higher chance of an item dropping seems to apply to certain rewards and not others. on day 2 of the midsummer event I have still be alt farming (for capes for alts it's not a great drop rate for the capes) my 4th alt in the army got the deathfrost illusion to drop. Taking blizzard at their word and alts have 0 chance of seeing stuff drop after your first daily attempt on your main my alt shouldn't have been eligible for the drop for the deathfrost illusion as it was the 5th time that day I had queued for the boss, unless blizzard's change to holiday boss loot only applies to specific items so in the case of the midsummer festival that would be the drake manuscript and not something like the deathfrost illusion. Depending on what specific item you are trying to farm, the alt army strategy may not be completely dead with the new changes to how loot works.

@tenshikaren2 ай бұрын
I don't think the bronze cache will increase if you don't open until the increased bronze buff drops, because chest and other cache drops in the game determine the loot when it drops. I saved some gear chests unintentionally for a few levels and the gear was for the level I earned it at... not my current level if that makes sense. Otherwise, players could turn off auto-loot and peak into a randomized box until they liked the drop. Blizzard increase updates have always affected NEW drops, and very rarely would it affect old ones (usually modifying old gear, or they would give you a quest to make up some of the difference in bronze if the increase would have applied to saved caches).
