Thanks for Protoform Synthesis crafting!

No more hoping for those rare mount and pet drops from elites once a day/week!! This is fantastic! :smiley:

It’s arguably more then once a day since the stuff you need seems to be spread from different sources based on the battle pet one I have.

Agreed, as someone working on Lord of the Reins, I cannot unlock Dealic fast enough.

The system is great for those who want to collect mounts and pets who don’t have the luck getting mounts or pets from the rares.

One big thing I will say is the farming for the materials. The motes, no issues, its the Uncommon and rare drops are the ones that puzzle me the most. Some of the drop rates aren’t constant compared to others. I have seen some of the pet rare materials have better drops then the Uncommon item and the reverse for some of the others pets where the Uncommon drops are better then the rare drop.

Other then that, I do love the system for a collection stand point.

I only have a handful of mats, but I collected several new battle pet recipes.

Wish you could sell the plans and the mats. I have the plans for the weird Antelope thing and I can’t sell it.
:frowning:

At least you can buy/sell the lattices on the auciton house. And I appreciate that the stuff is bind on account.

I love everything about ZM! I plan to collect every single mount in 9.2, which might put me over 400 mounts.

I just wish I didn’t love my job so much. Otherwise I’d be in game a lot more lol.

Anyone who’s allergic to farming ain’t going to like it.

Yeah, really looking forward to digging into pet/mount construction.

I just wish all these materials didn’t clog up our inventory. >_<

You can store the items in the regent tab of your bank, so your not wasting Bag space on them.

This is only true for some items. Tons do not store, unfortunately. xD

lmao well it seems I may have been a bit quick with this. I was trying to get the Genesis Crawler, the last reagent “Bauble of Pure Innovation” of course is bugged and just disappears when being looted. Wowhead confirms that this is just one more buggy issue. Can we go back to plain rare mount drops that don’t challenge the programmers too much? Thanks!

I feel like I am taking crazy pills when I see the loads of comments on the forums that say this new system somehow enhances or replaces the ‘1 chance a day rarespawn’ system.

This system relies on 1x chance per day rare spawn kills for most of the mounts.

Right now I am trying to get the Scarlet Helicid. I have the pattern, modes, lattice, but need the Revelation Key. Where do you get that? It is a one time per day chance from the Rarespawn Protector of the First Ones. I have killed it every day for 6 days now and have 0 Revelation Keys.

So the only change from the previous system is that I had 4 hoops to jump through before landing right where we were before, having a miniscule chance at a drop from a rarespawn that I can only try once per day.

It’s only for a portion of components, there’s some related to the raid that required a special trash pull, however the system overall it’s better that 1 x chance per day from previous patches that motivated players to do the same kill with multiple alts.

It’s more friendly for a player with a single character, since WoW has a ton of recolors, a lot of players could go for the easier solution, however if you like a specific mount like the Scarlet Helicid, well you’ll have to farm the item, on this case as per wowhead the rarespawn has 10% chance to drop that item which seems really high, so far i don’t see issues with low drops because those are from npcs that you could find in big groups or farming groups for quick respawn, it’s a good system around drop rate/attempts ratio.
