Anyone else notice the horrible RNG in korthia armaments…? one day i was on my warlock and i used stygia to buy Korthian armaments from the Death’s advance vendor and i was looking to get a Helm piece. i bought three pieces and when i opened them all i got same piece of gear three times with same item level and same stats…i had this happen before on my hunter so i decided to send in a ticket this and the GM told me that the RNG was working correctly and it worked like a big dice that randomly chooses gear. so i guess i had to bend over and take it as blizz expects us to…I decided to day to try my (luck as they say it) and i bought three chest pieces for my paladin and you guessed it i got three identical chest pieces with same stats and ilvl same as my hunter and my warlock…I think they know it’s broken and not telling us truth as getting the same 3 identical pieces on 3 different characters is not bad luck…it’s poorly designed RNG. i could understand this happening maybe once but on 3 different characters is too much…i really hope i get a blue post explaining this because it’s broken and this type of RNG should never happen and it should be fixed. Why do you treat your players like this blizzard? it’s expecially hard for altoholics and multi character players. You give us catch up gear to gear up our alts for the expansion which is awesome but you have faulty RNG mechanics that keeps us griding away and tell us it’s just bad luck as one GM says…i call that a load of bull.
You can buy a helm armament
Theres only 2 choices , some times 3 per armor type and main stat/spec. I agree 100% that 3 in a row is bs, because it has happened to me more than 3 times also. I send each alt i plan to level up about 40 tokens each, so far i have leveled 7, working on my DH now. Hope to get the right pieces the first try this time lol, but i am ready for disappointment .
yes…you can buy all korthian armaments but a neck piece at the death’s advance vendor
But neck piece from AH 230 Ilvl
There’s not that much variation in the stats you can get on a given slot. I don’t think Korthia gear was ever intended for you to min-max your secondaries like that. If you want something specific, you can always look into getting one of those unique-equipped 230 crafted pieces.
shouldn’t be a disappointment…i did programming in school and if this is a program that runs inside a program…this is basically a random generator (most likely more complicated). i figure there are 12 possible types of gear you could get from each armament given all the secondary stats that they have and if you add an ilvl of 207 to that mix that doubles the possible chances. I think they have it set to each armamant has only a couple of choices …say a chest piece has only ver/mastery or an ilvl change.
The problem I have with this is that my 230 neck is my only blue and in order to get my item level to turn purple in DejaCharacterStats, I need to equip an epic necklace and I still haven’t gotten one yet.
Farm korthia you’ll get some items.
Not a neck, though.
That doesn’t mean a lot, I wouldn’t worry about that so much
Yeah that the problem who the heck wants to farm and farm on every character to get gear that’s what the tokens are for. Farm hard on one or 2 characters and buy tokens for the other alt…but if you open tokens and your getting the same piece over and over again it really kills your desire to continue. I’ve played the altoholic game style for going on 5 or 6 years and the RNG has gotten worse and worse with every expansion. It’s not fair to anyone if they don’t have the time to farm for hours to get enough stygia to buy a piece they need to have it spoiled by crappy rng. Like i said 3 exact identical pieces in a row should maybe happen once …maybe twice but 3 times on 3 different characters…something is not working as it should…MUST BE A SMALL TWO-SIDED DICE BLIZZ.
Yorik drops one.
Fussing over the color of a throwaway neck item (and ilvl) and how it impacts the color output in an addon that forcibly virtue signals while still having no profile option while still randomly unlocking itself to show all hidden/non-applicable stats.
Just grind out to neck level 200 (hypothetically ilvl 254) on your heart of azeroth if you want to go through all this work.
I’m also of the 230 AH neck club. Being my third Druid through this, I know it will end….eventually. 
Consider the possibility that it is not broken, but working as intended.
I keep getting maces for my assassin rogue. My rogue needs a dagger in each hand for my abilities to work, so maces are kind of useless to me.
I don’t believe there are anywhere near that many combos programmed in. I suspect there may be only around 3-4 different pieces per slot for each class.
ALL my alts have one of those crafted pieces, with the stats i want. Just make sure you buy a piece that can NOT use a socket! It will make it so you can have a Korthia piece you can add a socket to later.
You are right. Just need to look at wowhead, and it shows you the pieces! 2-3 tops in choices, same with weapons, 2-3 choices max.
