The Four Curses

I’ve missed a couple days. I was going to force myself to log in and kill him real fast for the chance at the mount but I’m trying to recover from 16 hour shifts. I just don’t have the energy. Oh well I guess.

the more curses apparently increases the chance of the good items for the first kill of the day… or so WoWhead and Blizz keep saying it does. Also…there’s only four curses yet five wickermen?

Small wickermen can let you add one curse at a time controlling how many you have, and the large one gives you all 4 at once :slight_smile:

So… small ones let you pick your poison and the big one just says Yolo here’s all four?

Basically, yeah XD

Truthfully it feels like the droprates are just borked.

Yesterday with 70ish toons and all curses i did seem to rarely see a bit more loot but still mostly nothing.

Today have been trying with none of the curses (except the first kill of the day) and gotten even less. Also another big fat nothing on the first kill with curses.

So up to well over 150 kills and nothing. No drake no arfus and no mount (already have it though but for the sake of data). The drake isnt even meant to be that rare… its around a 2% drop.

These RNG drop rates on holidays are just utter garbage and I am honestly really sick of it.
Nothing about missing out/running alt armies through this over and over and over is fun. Add it to a vendor for a high price as a way of bad luck protection and stop with this nonsense. This is the stuff people quit over…

They probably already did the math and figured out that the number of people that MIGHT quit over something like this is a lot smaller than the people that will keep paying for the same chance again a year from now.

Does Arfus count to the Hardmode HH? Or does it only work on the mount?

Though even with the debuff i’m only getting squashlings and other stuff from the bags. Do I also need to be a level 70? Or can I get Arfus as a 60? Cause I don’t have DF expansion yet.

Having the achievement would be nice.

Sorry but I have no idea. Like I said, I’m grabbing the curses in hope it does increase the drop chance for the pup like it does the mount.

I’ve read that you can get Arfus on a level 60, and it’s logical, since you get the loot filled pumpkin on 60+ and Arfus drops from that. If you queue up for the HH and see the loot filled pumpkin in the group finder window as a reward, you’re good to go.

So. Yesterday I was off work, rand the previous days before the reset and the current days on all of my 60+. About 8-9 characters. In that time, doing each one twice, I got Arfus and the horseman’s sinister saber. Good stuff still drops, I just wonder what the percentage is, because first drop compared to the rest had no difference for me.
