Speck of Bronze Dust, any chance a dev can comment?

3rd week now Ive done a full clear of the vault for no other reason than trying to hope the “Speck of Bronze Dust” will drop and I can move onto the next and final step of the mount.

On the first week I ran five toons through the complete vault (all doors opened) and they all reached the Egg stage, then 2nd week I did only a couple of toons to get the remaining fragments I needed, now 3rd week nothing.

The NPCs outside “Vault Ix” as its called this week, are still discussing Vault Ur’s (last week’s vault name) pronunciation, as if I needed any more confirmation that something is missing in the coding for this patch.

With the announcement of 10.1 right around the corner, surely this won’t be forgotten, right? right?


Update from OP : 4/14/23

This week’s vault (week number 4) is Kx, no dust.

The NPCS out front are STILL talking about week two’s vault name

I’m wondering this myself. They made the egg so easy to get to a certain point. almost makes me think the speck of bronze dust isn’t coded in

Maybe its a 0.01% drop rate like the lariat ? Hope you are in this for the long run Op

I suspect it’s just time-gated.

It’s going to be a one-and-done thing for a mount, so it’s not going to be something they’re going to get a huge amount of repeat mileage out of once we’re able to complete the sequence.

Still no Speck of Bronze Dust in the new Vault? Sounds like I can skip it this week. I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten everything else that can be obtained in there otherwise.

Assumed it’s related to a particular vault holding a Bronze Dragonflight specimen. :thinking:

I wonder if being able to make multiple steps of progress in the first week was a slip-up?

Thats my belief. Like the first two Vaults for me were AZ UR. I think the Vault names refer to each of the flights.

There’s a neat interaction with our npcs in this vault to check out. :+1:

Oh. Never thought about the names making sense.

I did put in a ticket and got a response. Their response was they cant help with telling me about the item, but then proceeded to send me to a wowhead comment that for the most part states “Just gotta wait for the right vault”

There is more new stuff. :teddy_bear:
And I’m still not done opening all the doors yet.

It might just be a puzzle room people haven’t figured out yet.

Interesting. :hugs:

Next week will be Drakthyr themed…so maybe then.

After that, we will have a Goblin week, followed by a Naga week, and that’s it as far as I know.

This weeks vault is IX, the enemies inside were pirates.

The idea that AZ (spiders) and UR (ooze) came one after another is clever but i dont think that has anything to do with it

i cleared the whole place again. even the secret room. I opened all the chests. solved all the puzzles. No speck.

If it was actually time gated, meaning each step takes a week, then I think this is the week it should have dropped.

One really does begin to wonder if they have coded it into the game.

There wasn’t anything new for it last week either, though.

All the previous pieces dropped quickly from chests in the vaults, so I’d be willing to bet the Spec will as well. It will probably come from a later vault rather than some intricate method.

yes, last week would have been expected if we were supposed to advance it one step per week. but the speck missing this week makes it seem like something is actually wrong with the system to me.

Ok ill bite, what “secret room”?
