Legacy Loot rules

So I went to Nighthold to go farm some greens to level my enchanting, but the bodies just don’t drop anything? Is this something that these loot rules effect or what because it is extremely off-putting to do a raid and kill the packs with nothing to loot off them.

Also, if I don’t have a tailor, where exactly should I be going to get greens outside quests to disenchant?

Its not loot rules. they work fine in legacy like tbc, wrath, etc. you need to go in empty bagged as they will fill up.

Dungeon/raid got stingy starting legion.

Fast-ish greens you can get from wq clears. usually a few have gear in them.

Or go genocidal and pray for rng hits off mass kills of trash mobs. Some classes have an artifact appearance buried in this setup…so it can be 2 for 1 special. chance for greens. chance for that RNG as hell artifact appearance.

Dear OP,
Blizzard did away with mobs in raids dropping greens at the beginning of WoD (well, they tested it during the last 1/2 of SoO in MoP - none of those mobs drop stuff). If I remember correctly, the lead developer didn’t want people farming gold in this manner.

For those of us who enjoy such a thing, it was a big bummer. I loved to run old raids and farm raw gold, so they took away my fun. :frowning: The best you can do now is to sell purples that drop from bosses.

It is what it is I guess. Folks suggested I just farm Blood of Sargy so I guess that’s what I’m going to do.

Really unfun though and I’m not sure I want to level Legion enchanting anymore.

Legion enchanting was really difficult to level. I do believe that you can learn how to shatter crystals into lower level enchanting mats, so check that out and then maybe farming Nighthold for purples would be worth it.

Leveling all Legion professions is dreadful.

Especially when you throw ranks into the mix. Herbalism is a complete trashfire.

It was. I think I gave up on a lot of the professions back then.

I gave Jewelcrafting a fair go, but holy hell that was an awful experience and I still don’t think I capped it.

I’ve only got Blacksmithing and the three gathering professions capped (but not all ranked up x_x).

The others are such a slog that I’m trying to level with just the random WQs that pop up for a +1 skill.

Seek ye your high rank recipe to cap it off on…a world boss.

OFc its not up that week.

then you forget when the boss is up, ofc.

then you go I just need a few more levels…when it comes to mind. and…oh yeah, lemme guess. Yep, world boss is not up.

Legion was chock full of RNG everywhere and is why I take the “Legion wasn’t the unicorn people remember it to be” stance. It had a ton of content but holy crud the amount of RNG was ridiculous.

When it can take 6 hours of RNG just to level up a single rank for a single herb, you know something went wrong.

Leatherworkers can produce disenchantables too.

I swear it’s like folks only remember the last patch of that expansion.

Lucky me. I don’t have a LWer either :frowning: all my other characters are on Emerald Dream.

You can roll a new character and make them a skinner/leatherworker at level 10 in Legion.

Ugh I decided to open my herbalism journal again and I’m still missing ranks from Aethril, Astral Glory (puke Argus), Fjarnskaggl and Foxflower. I think I have the R3 felwort but I’m too lazy to kill Cenarius right now.

Still a royal pain.

And tons of alch recipes not ranked. Grrrr

Yeah I guess I could. An Arcane Mage might be the play?

Did we ever get an answer on how this is properly pronounced?

Legion professions giving folks PTSD apparently

Low levels are pretty OP in general. That would work.

Good suggestion, I’ll try that route after muh raid tonight.

However you pronounce it is probably more correct than pronouncing any of the Night Fae NPCs.

Dude I love those tree Night Fae things. Their names are great
