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. The best you can do now is to sell purples that drop from bosses.
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.
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.
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.
