Can they just make one drop off each boss in a heroic++?
Feels like current prices on items just takes too long to farm.

25 essences for a 1hander, for example, seems pretty fine imo.
iirc you can get 13 or 14 of them a day doing all the dungeons. Considering most dungeons have skippable bosses or at least skippable trash speeds the process up considerably.

I think it’s perfectly fair. The sidereals should not replace ulduar hardmode. It’s really a blessing to be able to have a guaranteed way to get these hardmode items.
Getting a 245 weapon or BiS trinket just from running a days worth of heroics (which are easy as hell btw) just doesnt seem right.

It’s suppose to be used to smooth out the RNG curve, allowing you to get pieces you haven’t been able to get from raid sue to poor drops. Honestly a system like that for current raid content would be nice. Put all of the raid gear on a vendor, bought with a currency that ONLY dropped from that raid, but make it expensive, something like 4-6 lockouts for small pieces, 6-10 for big ones. So it’s specifically NOT a system to gear up with, just to fill in gaps. Makes more sense with the personal loot system that they had in retail (but apparently did away with).

Agree, can still grind out the hardmodes while doing H++ to have a safety net for bad RNG. Plus if you get the HM drop you want you can use the Sidereal you collected on a diff upgrade.
I love when things are made more accessible, but I do agree there is a limit to it for sure.
On my main, I just did 19 runs to get the runestone, which wasn’t that bad. It’s only an issue if you need multiple items. For instance, I am trying to get a healing set on my alt shaman, and it’s a nightmare. It feels really bad having to farm 100+ Essence.

Yes please, the current system feels terrible if you play multiple characters.

don’t worry you’ll have time after your 1 hour ToC clear.

Time for a few, but I’ve got 7 80’s so that’s a lot of grinding. At least I only need dark matter on my rogue, though my warrior needs stuff for both specs. Even just between the two that’s a ridiculous amount of grinding, even if you forget about my other characters.

Nope. Still have to do ulduar, Voa, and Ony
I have 3 characters 5k+ gs and 3 more at 4.8-4.9k.
Just do your dailies and you’ll get there, most gear can be obtained way quicker just by doing ToC 10 as soon as you can do that.
Same here, my main is 5.3, my others are all around 4.8k besides my warlock who’s only been 80 for a few days, he’s around 4.4~. But ultimately doing that many dungeons is still a massive time sink. I don’t think having Sidereal Essence drop from every boss is too much to ask, especially since it will make people do full dungeons instead of just skipping everything.

would be nice if uld or togc bosses start dropping essences.

It’s not meant to replace doing Ulduar 10 man. It’s just bad luck protection.
But I have no idea why Ulduar hard modes don’t drop these too.

tbh ulduar 10hms bosses should drop sideral alongisde dungeon h++ end bosses.
Like instead of just a “catch up” it should be a bad luck safe. Ok you didn’t get the item but as long as you raid Ulduar 10 and do dgs you can get to that item.

Would be prob nicer if they dropped off the last boss of raids 10/25. You know draw people to those raids.
Just run Ulduar 10m HMs.
Im up for making each boss drop one if they quadruple the prices. The rate of HM gear acquisition is fine.
theyre for 10m uld gear so they should drop from 10m ulduar. gives a reason to even go

Imagine classic not being classic… and the crying about bonus loot. Be happy you have alternatives in this dumpster fire of a release.
