Don Rodrigo's Band Missing on AV Vendor

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I would really like to know why [Don Rodrigo’s Band] is not present on the rep vendor for Alteric Valley. Being on a pvp realm and leading a Raid team. I recommended my players to farm this rep for hours on end. Only to find the melee [Don Julio’s Band] is present on the vendor. This was confirmed and posted on wowhead.

These items are the same stat budget. Currently all Rank 14 pvp items are present on the vendor for purchase for those who obtain that rank. Several of those items were added later into the game as well. Why is the caster ring being excluded from players in the game right now? I fail to see how it is being made the exception when tier 1 mage five piece set bonus has spell penetration on it right now in the game.

I really like a blue post to explain or even admit that this is either a mistake or the logic to why it’s not allowed.

It will be released when BWL is out.

Would also love to know the answer to this. Seems like no one really knows. A blue post would be great.

I’d also like to know why the WSG blue/purple gear isn’t out until BWL, either. It’s much more useful now.

It’s been listed in atlas loot and wowhead as P5 since launch.
Idk why you all expected all the loot to come out early.

It was added during the AQ patch. Expect to see it then. See patch 1.9.0.

Several pieces of rank 14 gear was marked p6 and are available now in game. They have released things sooner then the phases they were marked for. We can’t 100% believe what atlas says because of blizzard making that exception for all rank 14 gear being available now instead of patched in later.

Wait, there’s not even low level BG blue gear with this patch? WHAT?!

it made sense for them to release rank 14 gear early since most people wont be able to remain rank 14 for more than a week. So they wouldn’t have been able to buy their gear.

We have been operating on the 1.12 patch with itemization changes on gear from that patched. Then followed by blizzard hacking the game up into pieces and deciding here and there when things should be out. We have a corehound bag recipe that can’t be made until a later phase but you can learn the recipe now. It may have been added in the AQ patch but the gear has itemization that is from that era as well. My point being the mage tier 1 5 peice set bonus did not have spell pen on it before. It does right now in-game. It seems so arbitrary which is why I want an official answer.

It’s been stated many times that the itemization is the 1.12 version, so items available since patch 1.1 have 1.12 itemization. Gear that wasn’t available at launch but added in later is supposed to be added in during the appropriate time. Specific examples are things like the Zandalari enchants, the AQ gear, etc.

The light turns on,:

Will WPvP burn once more??

(The cool kids already know r10 is the breaking point for optimal hp gain until VGs mske more sense. So the cool kids tell me. YW)

There’s blue AV gear but that’s 55+. The WSG stuff looks to be Phase 3. GG Blizz.

It’s probably time locked to release with BWL, similar to how the WSG gear is.

It is weird that they specifically called out WSG and not “BG gear”.

You and me both man :confused: Just wanna get a blue post on it to get a confirmed straight answer as to why. A lot of people bringing up good points that seem believable, just want an official word is all. But it REALLY ____ing sucks…

WoWhead = blizz?

Honest question, because it isn’t the first time I see something like this.
