No seriously do they drop out in the open world any longer or just dungeons? Since phase 3 I’ve seen only 3 of them. 1 was from a low level dungeon that grants no rep from it now. And the other 2 I lost the rolls on. I’ve been searching now for the past 8 hours with a break for dinner for just 1 single box to get revered and have not gotten a single one from any chest or mob kills. Just wondering why nerf them so heavily all of sudden? The damage to the market has already been done by them, incursions, and a long list of other issues. So I just don’t see the reason to nerf the drop rate now??
I just got to Exalted tonight after about 50 hours of solely grinding for Waylaid Supplies since Phase 3 started.
I can tell you that yes they do drop but the drop chance from Solid Chests was reduced from 10% in Phase 2 to about 0.5% in Phase 3.
You basically have to mob grind for Waylaid Supplies now and the drop chance is very very low.
Best bet is to pick a mob grind that will also make you decent gold and just mindlessly bang your head against it for dozens of hours.
I inadvertently farmed over 1200 gold since Phase 3 started solely from trying to get Waylaid Supplies to drop. Yes the grind is that ridiculous now.
I was wondering the same thing to be honest. I remember seeing them a lot in phase 1 and it’s a night and day difference in phase 3…
One thing that’s annoying is I think they forgot to upgrade the gold turn in for the level 50 boxes since they only give 3 gold compared to level 40 boxes which are 12g.

The main Rogue taunt rune is locked behind these boxes, that’s why there are no Rogue tanks. Dev team thinks people are in love with grinds.
What mobs are you grinding?
lmao, that is not what people are talking about. We are talking about going from reverered>exalted.
To get the rune you only need friendly and you should get that without even trying just from the boxes you get while leveling up, especially since the higher level boxes give more rep.
The mats cost too much gold when I was going it and it was too time consuming to do while leveling, I wasn’t playing SoD from start, I started right before Phase 3 came out.
It’s not something Phase 3 andies are going to do, gaslight all you want.
Some of them are crazy expensive most are not. You will break even or make gold with the majority of them and you get a decent chunk of change just for leveling. Even if you are getting raked over the coals on your boxes it only takes a few to unlock the rune.
It only takes like 3-5? Wow really? Are you sure?
Yeah. I recently leveled a character on a new server with only a 5g bump from a friend to start. I only did the boxes I would make a profit on just buying the items straight from the AH and I have the rune from friendly. I also I have 7 high level boxes in my bank that I could turn in but buying the items off the AH aren’t profitable I need someone to craft them for me before I turn in, if I wasn’t friendly and I really wanted the rune I could eat the cost and just buy them to get the rune ASAP.
But at least raiding is easy ~ blizzard 2024
Yes.
One box gives 700-900+ (some even more) per.
You only need friendly for the rune.
Neutral to friendly is about 3k rep.
Satyr or Naga in Azhsara, Slimes or Trolls in Hinterlands, Ogres in Burning Steppes, Furbolgs in Felwood, Murlocs in Swamp of Sorrows, random mobs in both the Ashenvale and Hinterlands Incursions
I struggled to get anything to drop a Waylaid Supply on some days of 5+ hours of farming so I kept changing it up to keep from going insane.
A lot of the gold came from Satyr Farming in Azshara, but those are also the most contested mob to farm in the entire game atm.
Edit: a lot of gold also came from mining while mob grinding so having a gathering profession such as mining or herbalism definitely adds on value.
Waylaid rep is the most cancer grind in SOD currently.
They need to make the Waylaid boxes BOE.
