So, any reason for why tusks of mannoroth have such a low drop rate compared to other hidden mogs like taeshalach, scythe of the unmaker, etc? Why not make it like 1-2% like the others?
It is roughly 1%.
It is 0.02%
*edit. Just looked at wowhead and it says its on a 0.26% drop rate
Thereâs no way itâs even 1%. Far too many people have runs in the THOUSANDS and still no drop. A 1% drop rate would see MOST people getting it in less than 100.
You either have trolls bragging about how they got it less than 10, or everyone else who is clocking 1000-3000.
As to why? Because itâs the new Blizzard shte dynamic. Orc Warrior is highly desirable/well represented, and the Tusks are like the PINNACLE of xmog for an Orc Warrior. And because itâs popular, they make it stupidly rare.
Look how many DHs work their assets off for the full xmog of Warglaives. Same-same.
Yeah the drop chance is definitely below 1%
lost it in soO main raid to a friends/family alt
rough life
No, it isnât. If youâre going by a WoWhead droprate, those stats are unbelievably screwy since the difficulties were changed after MoP.
they supposed to be super liit and rare. Wahtâs the problem?
This is a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory but hear me out here.

The answer is simple, RNGesus hates plate wearers.
I could easily argue this point, but it seems anyone that brings it up just repeats âItâs ok to have rare thingsâ with their fingers jammed so far in their ears, itâs not worth trying to discuss things rationally.
So Iâll just wait hereâŠ

1% drop rate would see MOST people getting it in less than 100.
That is not how that stat works at all⊠1% means an AVERAGE of 1 in 100. You can still go 5000 runs without it because you just didnât get lucky.

A 1% drop rate would see MOST people getting it in less than 100.
Thatâs not how drop percentage works though.
That word⊠âmostâ ⊠try not to ignore it next time.
That word is actually the problematic part. Itâs wrong.
It is though. I get the RNG thing, Iâd rather it be locked behind some nearly impossible mechanical challenge so only a few elite plate wearer can use, but RNG is next best to keep it rare and exceptional. IMO should be removed from game after XPAC to reward those who killed it on time.
Anyone arguing that needs to understand stats better.
While YOU ARE RIGHT âŠ
⊠that it is POSSIBLE to run 5000 or even ten million runs on a 1% drop rate and still not get itâŠ
⊠that isnât LIKELY to happen. Because⊠math > you.
MOST will get it in less than 100. Because⊠thatâs how it works. That doesnât happen with Tusks⊠because the drop rate is SUBSTANTIALLY less than 1%.

since the shoulders can only drop for plate wearers
Is that still true? Doesnât it obey âlegacy loot rulesâ now? Which means anyone could get it?
No itâs not. Every time you step in the raid there is a 1% chance x item will drop. This drop percentage is unaffected by the number of runs.

Youâre orc no longer!
