Conqueror's Prized Varnish is broken?

I found a hero chest piece in a delve, upgraded it to a tier piece and then tried to spend my conquest on a Conqueror’s Prized Varnish to turn it into a PvP piece (which is the point of this item…)

It says “That item cannot be modified” when I try to use the varnish on the newly upgraded tier piece. Is this broken or is there something that I don’t understand?

Make sure you bought the correct one. There is a 700 conquest item for the shoulders/gloves, and 875 for helm/chest/legs.

I did. Tried both even

OK well you might be the first test case ever for this new item, as blizz doesnt test pvp things. it is probably bugged

must be… can’t find anyone else online even talking about it

I’m guessing they only coded it correctly to work on items that are already tier, like raid drops or vault drops, so pvpers could get their 4 set with conquest/bloody token ilvl without waiting for catalsyt charges. Catalyzing a non-tier pve piece, then conquest upgrading it was something they forgot to test.

I feel like this is the entire reason it was added though… so that you didnt have to choose between UPGRADING pve or pvp pieces. who knows though…

Yes it is one reason they added it, but is also helps pvpers get their 4 set quickly if used differently. It lets pvpers who are willing to do some PVE get their 4piece bonus very quickly compared to simply waiting for catalyst charges every 2 weeks.

A pvper who gets 1600 rated CR for the extra charge can have high ilvl 4set next week if they get lucky with PVE/vault drops: Use two catalyst charges on Bloody token purchases, and conquest-upgrade two tier pieces from pve or vault.

Either way it is not working and it is holding back players who participate in both PVP and PVE. At this point I wish they would just make PVP gear free and give us all of it at the start of season. Would bring so many people to this game.

Sitting around waiting for other people to find the broken stuff first, hehe. :dracthyr_comfy_sip:

isnt wow one of the most popular games in the world??

Uhhhhh. Kind of? Like, it’s a giant mmo and really old but not really comparable to some of the most accessible f2p games like mobas/brs.

yea hey buddy u a league fan

It’s so boring that Blizzard doesn’t have a release note of all the broken things.

Literally just a company going, “Let’s have our customers do our QA, not like they pay us or like we can afford real QA!”

Bro this game is like 20 years of spaghetti held together with duct tape and hope

Lol people arguing with a guy for posting a bug, its crazy how pve only players (moba players?) are so weird to wow pvpers lol. Either way hope blizzard fixes this soon, kind of unreal how many bugs are on release. Some of us actually play every game mode !

This doesn’t matter. Release note the new issues each season with updates on eta for fixes.

Bricking honor transfers for multiple days is a joke. Having items not work is a joke. These aren’t hard to release note, expect more from the billion dollar corporation, not less.

Or provide a work around (bring back item to vendor to send honor to alts)

Ye, this stinks.

Kind of expected when they’re changing how it works and it just came out. :dracthyr_a1:

I don’t expect it. Neither should any paying customer. If your new update bricks honor transfers & your PvP items don’t even work, why are we pushing it live?

Because they don’t care about PvP players. They’re okay with pushing anything live that damages PvP, so long as it doesn’t really touch their pve side.

It also doesn’t matter if it’s new or not. They’ve struggled with this Warband feature for the entire run of the expansion. Stop shipping broken software. Do better.

(I know you don’t enjoy it either, but venting)
