We’d like to clarify some details about rewards from Horrific Visions. Items are awarded from Horrific Visions at the following milestones:
Objective
Reward iLvl
Vision Boss Only
420
Vision Boss + 2 Bonus Objectives
430
Full Clear No Masks
445
Full Clear + 1 Mask
450
Full Clear + 2 Masks
455
Full Clear + 3 Masks
460
Full Clear + 4 Masks
465
Full Clear + 5 Masks
470
Each week, you can obtain each tier of rewards once, with a 100% chance to obtain the best reward that the you were eligible for on any given Horrific Vision.
For example, if on your first run of the week you clear 2 bonus objectives and defeat the Vision boss, you’ll get an iLvl 430 item. If you then repeat that run, you’ll get the iLvl 420 item that you were eligible for (because you’re no longer eligible for an iLvl 430 item until the weekly reset). If you then perform a full clear, you’ll get the iLvl 445 piece.
Please note: the presence or absence of other players in Horrific Visions does not influence the chance for an item to be rewarded. All loot tracking is personal, and a character must be alive and sane at the start of an encounter in order to receive credit.
Thanks for the clarification. I would have definitely strategized differently if I had know this prior to launch. I based what I did on the wowhead info because blues often send us there(including in game tickets). I miss “dev water cooler” type info dumps. They would really help again.
In the future would it be possible to make sure the info on huge features is communicated prior to release. I know it’s a ton of info but at the least if something like wowhead is going to be leaned on so much by the dev team then at least make sure the messaging is consistent with them.
That. I hate the “well on other sites it says this” Dude we shouldn’t HAVE to go to other websites outside of WoW to figure out how stuff works. That’s dumb.
i’m sorry you get to be the target dummy for the indiscriminate hate. maybe you should pass along my suggestion of the dev team having a google doc for each change/addition to the game. like a section for the new visions, a section for classes, etc. it’ll really help since you just need to copy/paste it so patch notes wouldn’t be so lacking in info unless a team just sucks at communicating.
