I understand there is a cap of 2000, but today was reset and I had 18/2000
I just full cleared 9 bosses in Aberrus, and didn’t get a single Flightstone.
The tooltip literally says “Drops from PVE activities: raid, dungeon, open world”
Is it bugged?

Did you spend Flightstones on upgrades? There was no reset for me. If you’re actually below cap, you should be getting them. Since you’re not, it sounds like a display bug (says 18, but is actually still 2000).
I’ve also had this happen to me in LFR and Normal. I tried contacting the CS team, but got no resolution other than report it in-game when you see it.
With all the bugs 10.1 has, it probably is a bug yeah.

Does anyone know if you’re only supposed to get Flightstones on 1 boss kill?
Because I just did 7 bosses on heroic and also got ZERO flightstones… very annoying
welcome to activision killing the support team so ticket literally last months to get resolved

Yup, no flightstones from normal. WTF?
So it might be a bug - nowe that i think about it i didnt loot any from heroic last night.
Wowhead shows a drop rate on them
49% lfr
40% normal
12% heroic
0 for mythic
- possibly we get them once per boss and blizz forgot to reset it weekly?
Showing 0/2000 after running heroic raid. We did run normal so perhaps Blizzard is giving them once per boss per week. Would be good to know if that’s the case. I did upgrade gear and not look at what I have remaining yesterday, but actually showing zero doesn’t seem right. Thinking it’s a bug……
Two clears on normal, 7 heroic bosses, zero flightstones.
We aren’t meant to instantly upgrade our gear but I thought they meant for crests. Even the discounted price to level up a new item is an internal debate because of how slow flightstones come in.
I thought the whole design was “flightstones are over abundant and there’s a discount if it’s a lower item level but the catch is crests are limited.” But i have a massive stockpile of crests from capping two weeks in a row and getting 3 total pieces of loot from 2 full normal raid clears and 7 heroic bosses, 1 of the 3 loots from my vault.
Flightstones do not currently drop from raids. Only shards do. Flightstones so far are only obtsinable from mythics and overworld content.
(They do this to keep you in the new area. Breath in the sulfur)
if flightstones and fragments drop in M+ you don’t have to do the new area unless your a raider… kinda favoring the M+ side again for gearing which the new system was supposed to change

Well they had to make it difficult in some parts of the game. But yea if you’re a big m+ person you’re swimming in shards. Just wish they made the crests BOA tho…
Best suggestion is to just fly around and frab treasures. The disturbed dirt n stuff drops flightstones as well so like an hour or two of that should get you a pretty stack
And here I am needing to spend mine because I stay at cap lmao
make it difficult for all or none… yes M+ has more players in it but doesn’t mean they can screw raiders over all the time forcing us to do even more stuff to keep up

Im there with you but I assume they did it so raiders arent just instantly gearing up to minmax.
If raids dropped both that would mean raiders could get a bunch of gesr up within a week or two.
Cant have that kind of fun now can we?
You can only loot a raid boss once per difficulty. Thats not a ton of gear if you are running with 20 people.
Current drops:
Raids- fragments for crests, 1 per 5 raiders for gear, weekly lock per boss per difficulty
M± Fragments for crests, 2 per run for gear, and flight stones to upgrade said gear, can be run more often and no lock
Raiders are shafted hard while M+ has the minmax option
Right but lets say in a very unrealistic example
That you’re the only paladin in the group. The first like…5 bosses drop paladin tier. On the off chance that the paladin just happens to get 1 or 2 pieces. Thats already a boost to him.
On top of that every 2 bosses gives you enough shards for 1 crest. So on a good run of 7 bosses thats 3 crests for the whole raid run. Plus the flightstones necessary to level up any gear he currently has on. That has the potential to be a huge ilvl boost im just 1 raid week.
i’m not going to sit here and argue you the points.
Fact remains that M+ is hard favored outside of tier pieces… thats it… Raid SHOULD drop flight stones for raiders that only want to raid and not have to sit there and do M+ over and over just to get more gear and the upgrade mats… lets even mention the vault gives you HUGE upgrades for doing M+ while raiding only gives the loot from bosses which is equal to what your doing for content.
Raiders are punished while M+ gets rewarded
Nah, this has very little effect on raider gear progression–the crests are harder to come by than the flightstones. I think it’s just a bug since the announcement explicitly says they come from raid. Would love confirmation of this though.
