The Maldraxxus Calling boxes have an extremely low chance to drop a Necroray Egg, which can hatch into 3 different mounts. So you need 3 of them to drop if you want them all.
Their dropchance is abysmal. Wowhead lists it at ~1.5% but this is so far from true. Many players including myself are over 250 or more attempts on it and still have yet to see a single one drop. Sometimes it can take a while to finish the callings depending on which WQ’s are up, which just makes it all the more time consuming and annoying when it doesn’t drop -again-. And even if you can get your first to drop, it’s likely another 500 attempts until you get the other two you need. It’s painful.
I really do not want us to be stuck in Maldraxxus for another year or two farming these calling boxes in Dragonflight. PLEASE increase the drop chance of the Necroray Eggs, and perhaps add it as a drop from the Undying Paragon Box as well!
I got two in the same evening when I was going for my last one. When they hatched the first egg had the final mount and the second had some junk item worth, I think 200g.
I got the 3 mounts but I did like 13-15 alts, I changed most of those alts to necrolord, so I could get necrolord boxes from some callings like Torghast , rares and treasures callings, otherwise those will provide your covenant specific cache.
For a mount item linked to a specific covenant while most of the SL time, you coulnd’t change covenant as you like, it’s a bad approach with really low % drop, those eggs should be a purchase items for offerings / anima as bad luck mechanic.
Other players shouldn’t have to use 10+ alts to even have a little chance…It needs a change.
Unfortunately, This kind of thread was ignored on the CC and Devs don’t talk about this…The legacy content should be adjusted frequently and some rewards should be designed with player’s time and fun in consideration, if the task isn’t fun then don’t do a massive grind…there’s a lack of balance.
It’s like the MoP world bosses, I spent a LOT of time doing those for years and got all the mounts last year, now those were fixed…Why these drops weren’t fixed before? We already provided that feedback for years…
I already got the 3 mounts and Devs should change these drops, I just changed every alt to necrolord, so other callings like rares and torghast also provided an extra chance…
I forgot what it was called but there were the same things in MoP. Eggs dropped and had a chance to spawn a black, red, or green raptor after 3 days. I got multiples of the green and it sucked but it is an rpg after all.
That case is different, if you want to talk about any RNG, then you need to think about 2 components…Acquisition and Drop rate.
For those eggs, you can kill everything on the island and farm those non stop, gather different eggs and use multiple alts, it’s an easy grind…compared to the Necroray egg approach that’s limited to some callings and you have less attempts with a really low drop.
The Primal Eggs aren’t comparable. They drop like flies. Even though you weren’t guaranteed to get the mount you needed, you could easily guarantee yourself an egg every 30 min for each character you farmed it on.
Necroray Eggs are extremely rare, even if you go at it with all your characters.
The Primal Eggs also drop off of Oondasta pretty regularly. I’m farming for Oon’s mount and out of 10 toons, 5 or 6 got Primal Eggs out of the Pile of Refuse, lol.
I know some that got lucky like that but most of us are still only at 0 or 1 out of 3… It sucks.
