Hello GM’s,
I’d like to know how the Epics acquired in MC/BWL/ZG will be processed during disenchanting. Guilds have been saving 100’s of epics from MC/BWL in hopes of disenchanting post Phase 5 release in order stockpile Nexus Crystals.
Can you please give confirmation on if this will be possible? or a clear statement that it will not work?
Thank you,
Can we get a Blue Post reply to this?
It’ll work like it did in classic, aka you get nexus shards.
Word is anything that’s dropped before p5 will become a lbs
I doubt that.
If that was truly the case they’d do the same for the AQ event items so it’s not just steamrolled from people stockpiling.
Our speculations and assumptions are great and all, but truly only a Blue Post would give us the answer we’d all like.
Will MC gear in p5 drop nexus crystals?
If yes I doubt p1 gear would be different, unless they purposely tried to make itnot
Well blizzard learned the hard way in original Vanilla regarding this. They eventually changed gear to be ‘timestamped’ and it would only Disenchant into the materials that were available at the time the item dropped.
So if that rule is in effect, then EPICS from anything prior to the release of AQ (Phase 5), would disenchant into Large Brilliant Shards.
Blizzard, any reply to this? Thank you.
If they want to be accurate they will.
I would prefer that the gear is timestamped so they only DE into what was available when the item dropped, since players now know the crystals are in the game vs original vanilla no one knew. The time stamp method would keep it accurate as possible. Instead of having hundreds of nexus crystals created instantly when they are available.
^^
This is how it was, and how it should be.
I mean, people are just going to smash MC/10 mans in 45 minutes and get a bunch out of it, so the market will crash quite quickly.
Any update Blue Posters? Would like to know the outcome of this.
That’s what I have been hearing as well although I’ve never been able to get confirmation on it. I was stockpiling epics for my guild for awhile but after hearing this I just started DEing them. People will be swimming in Nexus Crystals anyway from MC/BWL DEs because guilds will be sharding most drops by then probably. I’ve most just been holding onto the LBS we have because I expect the price of LBS to go up significantly in P5 due to the need of 8-10 of them for most AQ enchants and caster weapon oils being added which take 2 each. That and the reduced availability of them due to epics no longer DEing into 2-4 of them. The combination of this will make it much more beneficial for me to have a stock built up for my guild.
You guys are acting like this game is new and hasnt existed in the past 15 years. Every single player who has played before classic already knows the answer. I will give you the context you need.
In every previous expansion, anything that could potentially be changed from one item into another item (a chest opened, a disenchant, ore turned into gems, etc.), the item is not retroactive. A chest obtained in one patch cannot contain items from a future patch once that patch is live.
So obviously if you are hording purples to disenchant, the items will NOT turn into a future patch item unless the item is OBTAINED DURING THE FUTURE PATCH. If nexus crystals are the concern, please, stop hording them. It has never happened once in the past 15 years, and it will not happen now.
But the difference is we are not getting patches… we are getting releases.
This means whatever date they want something to happen, they click a checkbox for hte content and it becomes live. There is no coding, no patching, nothing.
The gear we are currently using is the updated gear itemization for TBC. This was not the case before when nexus crystals were released. The reason “old” gear wasn’t giving nexxus, is because it was a completely different item than a TBC updated one with the same name.
This was the beginnings of converting percent based stats to ratings.
It would be work to try and make earlier phase gear not DE into nexxus, as opposed to ticking a checkbox in the admin terminal.
“We aren’t getting patches, we are getting patches.”
I can just ignore your attempt to change the word and my point still stands. A change to the game is a patch. End of story. Stop hording purples.
I really hope they do retroactively DE into Nexus.
That way, when Phase 5 drops, and the world is flooded with Nexus crystals because we’ll be sharding basically everything out of MC/BWL/ZG at that point, the hundreds of LBS I’ve hoarded will be worth that much more, since nobody is running 5 man content for blues in comparison.
WE HAVE DONE THIS EXACT DANCE BEFORE PEOPLE.
POSTS THAT DID NOT AGE WELL! At all. Cuz look at me the idiot for believing people, they actually turned into nexus crystals.
I DEd them all because LBS are more valuable than Nexus Crystals.
Why anyone would hoard NC is beyond me.
