ofc they hate explaining how it works. wouldnt you hate explaining how it works if it shows how crappy you are.
I just wonder how much do the motes for increasing the drop chance actually give.
Whatever it is, I have a strong suspicion that Lesser Embers off Mythic grant a far higher bonus than either type (Greater or Lesser) in Heroic. Most of the reports I have seen of guilds regularly getting at least 1 axe weekly are guilds that are pushing or attempting to push Mythic to some degree. Even regularly farming the first 4 would probably result in 1-2 Lesser Ember drops each week and that seems to be enough to tip the scales.
16 normal kills. 12 heroic kills. Whatever the max LFR kills are to date. No axe.
After heroic kill number 14 it’s guaranteed, the LFR kills and all the normal kills besides 4 of them have had no impact.
It did for somebody in my guild, who hasn’t gone higher than LFR (side note: they also haven’t done a single M+, though this has no bearing at all on the axe drop chance)
Wowhead datamined details have yet to be confirmed.
ive run the raid on 12 toons since it started and have never seen it drop (for me or anyone else in the raid)
i’ll be honest and say at this point i would not use it anyway , all gold i make in game pays my monthly sub.
Having completed the legendary quest on multiple characters, I was shocked on my DK , I killed the heroic, got the increased chance item. Two days later helped a friend on normal and got my legendary to drop.
So I guess you should start at heroic and then go down (or Mythic)
Blizzard literally trolled me by making this 2h Axe Drop for me on my Alliance DK that I was seldomly playing but now I keep somwhat up to date with gearing and those cheeky people only gave me the Legendary on that Realm knowing full well I had next to no gold (Since I was not farming it actively since it was a muck aound alt since I main horde) So after completing all the quests up to the point of crafting the 3 items that you ned other people for (Glad i had inscription and Enchanting on that toon) so I only had to tip a leatherworker only I had to buy and wait for a WoW token to sell over night before I could finish making and using my axe which took roughly 24 hours with Downtime and Sleep.
All because I chose that character first that Week but I think regardless blizzard was going to force it onto my DK no matter what since the 15-20 attempts on my Main Warrior and Off main Paladin have only given me my participation Purple you failed this time champ come back next week token. I am beginning to lose faith and might have to resort to a Mythic Clear on a non Awakened week once my warrior get past 500 item level and same for my paladin since higher difficulty means better odds and my odd chance for it should be like 20-30% chance by now surely. Oh well
I got two from lfr. One on my warrior McElroy and my death knight Kaktar same server.
