I have a high level of confidence the Shadowbound Leash drop from the Confiscated Cultist’s Bags is bugged.
According to wowhead, the drop rate is around 1 in 150. I have now opened 635 of these bags doing the monotonous dailies and have yet to receive it. While not impossible, it’s highly improbable that I’ve not received it yet. Factor in previous drops (like the toy from Invoq in DF) also being bugged to not drop, there’s a good chance this drop is bugged for some people.
My guess is that the code prevents you from getting the mount again so it checks the “id” of the mount and if you have it, it doesn’t even let it drop. Given that I have most of the mounts in the game already (1105ish), odds are if it’s been coded with the wrong id, then it mistakenly thinks I already have the mount and it won’t drop.
If this could be looked into and maybe just allow duplicate mounts to drop, that would be great. I’m about to give up on this mount as these dailies are not fun and I already have 19 alts @ 635ish ilvl so I dont need any more gear drops.
Update:
As an update (whether it was hotfixed or my luck was really in the dumps), it dropped after 749 attempts … I have enough 623-632 gear for another 50 alts now … lol ;(
