More Tarnished Undermine Real and AQ Reagents now Available

In Season of Discovery, there is an increased demand for crafting materials and Idols/Scarabs. One of our goals in this phase is to make idols and scarabs mean more to progression, such as being required for Reputation rings and their upgrades, but their acquisition rates have been lower than we hoped. We like making them available to players through dungeons or previous raid tiers, so with hotfixes that are now live:

  • Tarnished Undermine Real drops in Molten Core and Blackwing Lair increased to 3 per boss (was 1).
  • Damaged Undermine Supply Crates cost increased to 10 (was 5), and will now always contain some of the new Ahn’Qiraj crafting reagents, Scarabs, Idols from the Ruins or an Idol from the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj.

Since there are consumables that require these items, we’d like to see players getting them from the Undermine Supply Crates to allow the market to be more accessible.

Please note: The above are ‘new’ boxes. Any old boxes purchased will not contain the new materials.

Literally just spent all my coins yesterday that I was saving because nothing was being added or talked about, then this. Hysterical timing.

Oy vey.

were hive thistle not included in these boxes?

Need me some vermillys

Wait a second, I’ve been gone for a month but I’m 99% sure someone mentioned there was never any intentions to giving raids these reals?

Can we assume the same intentions of not deleting this seasonal server?

These raids have been giving reals since P6 dropped.

Got it. But wasn’t it just in Phase 5 they said they didn’t have any intention of having prior raids drop reals?

Does this include the idols from 40 man? Has anyone confirmed?

I don’t know if it a joke or Blizzard is just really this dum.

hive thistle and Large Obsidian Shard is so damm rare.
we have 1 zone to farm it in, most of the time the mega servers have 1 layer, @ raid time were having 4 layers. there no chance the supply can meet the demand, and blizzard is still ignoring it.

Did you open some what kind of quantities and items were you getting ?

I opened 4 boxes.
Of the AQ materials I received:
1x Small Obsidian Shard
2x Obsidian Idols
1x Qiraji Hive Venom
1x Ancient Sandworm Bile

Prices of Obsidian-Infused Thorium have dropped by 100g in a day since the change, so that’s nice.

Id like some MC real runs to get going

These crates should guarantee a scarab at least.

Maybe not tie recipe-acquisition to raiding. :upside_down_face:

To clarify: Recipes shouldn’t be dropped in raids. But the materials they use should be.

You wonder why the market is all jacked up? It’s because not only do you need to get raid drops to craft, but you also need to be raiding to get the recipes.

Whatever you all thought you fixed, you broke the undermine real vendor. They no longer sell the BoA emblems for the rune quest skips for alts.
