Is it just me or has the average amount of mana pearls you could get each day on a toon gone down? I was averaging like 50 a day and now Im lucky if I get half that. Like today, only got maybe 15-20 on my main.

Wouldnt be surprised if they stealth nerfed them to make the game grinder which means more time, which means longer subs, which means more money

I hear Onyxia Deep Breaths more often, too.

Outside of getting manapearls from the story quest line, I am hesitant to believe you sustained 50 manapearls a day. Considering you are barely wearing any benthic gear, and even then you have upgrade options available.

Yeah, I’ve never gotten 50 manapearls per day. It’s either 20 or almost 20 per day.

benthic gear is cancerous and I wish it never happened , people have all 445 's from osmenite and heroic warfront and the list goes on , gear literally rains from the sky and there is no true gearing up process anymore.

It is a bit dumb, I’m basically raiding to get high ilvl mplus gear in the benthic slots and grinding pearls to update the socketed benthic bits i have which are a lot better for the raid then the gear that actually drops in the raid.
Allowing some pearls from raid would make it feel a bit better I understand its meant to be a separate system though.
I am not seeing it where there is a decrease anywhere. The only thing I noticed is that the past few times the Emissary Quest is up for Nazjatar they have all been 3000 azerite for the reward and not the 25 pearls reward.

I don’t think it’s been nerfed so much as the ways to get manapearls have been spread out between quests and rares. I’ve been averaging all along about 20/day. However, yeah, it has been a while since the last 25 mp emissary quest.

I don’t know really, I have stopped doing everything except what is needed to get the crab mount since the fish toilet as a zone is just unbearable and depressing and ugly so I spend as little time there as possible.

Omce they get it the other part of the community hates it

Notice this too. Hurts working on alts for professions.
I’m not noticing a difference.
I could be wrong but Pearls, AP, Pearls,AP, AP?
Pretty sure its been close to that. Not exactly a convincing argument for they nerfed pearls.
Your getting less pearls in Nazjatar because your spending less time farming rares?
Funny you should bring this up. 8.2.5 has a mount equipment item that increases the chances of mana pearl drops and gives you a chance to get a chance at a spin for a chance at an extra mana shard.
25 mana shards = a mana pearl and a Shrute Buck.

Yes, the issue isn’t the alternate gearing path. The issue is the strain it puts on players who do more than farm old content, do WQs, warfronts and queueable content.
People who run high mythic plus need gear to clear harder content. People who raid need gear to clear harder content. So when benthic gear is BiS for the raid, you are forced to grind it up. Then on top of it, grind other gear upgrades from other methods for content outside of the raid.
Lastly, you all may have confused Blizzard, and made them think you need a Heroic raiding Ilvl to clear 10 year old content but in actuality people don’t. The issue is people literally can’t stand the fact people who do more than them have more than them.
What if the whole game went welfare? I dont like having to farm mounts. I demand a free mount every week. I hate farming gold, I demand more free gold so I can buy pets, additional mounts, and other items. I don’t like farming transmog, so I demand free sets every week.
I don’t think the people who put in a ton of time would appreciate it if they started handing out a ton of other items that is in the lane they worked hard on.
If you dont raid or do high level M+ you don’t need high ilvl gear.
You could farm old mounts, pets, achievements, WQs and whatever else it is at 385 or whatever perfectly fine and it wouldn’t make the people who actually earn their gear feel like their effort is wasted.
Would it impact the people who have 600 mounts if blizzard just decided to gove everyone every mount in the game? No, but they would be extremely mad and the forums would be littered with complainers. Just some food for thought.
I don’t even push anymore. But I agree its a little ridiculous.
Titan Risidium= free gear.
Warfronts= free gear.
Benthic= easy free gear.
Emmissary= free gear.
WQs= free gear.
Timewalking/4 mythic dungeon weeklys= free gear.
Heroic dungeons= easy gear.
All of the above, minus the titan risidium gear has a chance to proc to 425-455.
A little ridiculous right? Personally I can’t wait for it to end next expansion. WoW will be a progression based game again in some ways at least and in true game/mmo fashion you’ll have what you actually earn.

I don’t know what crack you’re on, but I’m not seeing any 425+s in heroic dungeons, or world quests for that matter, or emissaries, or timewalking weekly. 415 Is as high as it’s going, in most are between 400-415. Heroic dungeons are dropping 385, and 385=/=425+.

Something like that yes, except on my horde characters one of those emissary quests reward AP while at the same time it was pearls on my alliance. I have noticed a difference in rewards for exact identical quests. Resources on my alliance while it would reward pearls on my Horde as an example. WQs seem like the only thing static no matter what.
