Waylaid Supplies

Any plans to allow us to pick up more than one Waylaid supply crates at a time?
I can’t think of a single reason why this would be good to have as a unique item.

Are you just trying to extent the grind? Or force players to interupt their questing to run all the way to Stormwind/Orgrimmar to turn in a Waylaid Supplies Crate whenever one drops?

Both situations suck.

Having the ability to turn them in at quest hubs would be a little bit better, but 99% of the time you would have to turn them in empty due to not having access to the auction house.

Waylaid Supply Crates is an awesome idea. I love that it’s helping keep professions relevant. Being limited to 1 at a time really hamstrings it though. Likely makes the majority of players not interact with the system at all.

You can easily get friendly reputation before you hit 25 now. Plus they even made it where you had to fill up one just to pick up another. Ive come to notice its not worth it to fill up those that require anything over 5 mats so if anything just turn those in without filling them up. They may hide more runes behind higher rep later on but you have more than enough time now to get the rep without filling every single one.

Just play the game and turn them in whenever you get the chance and you will hit Honored well before phase 2 hits.

There is an issue for skinning.

If you have a “good” one already picked (Let’s say, 12 medium leather)

And another one drops, well, you can’t skin that mob as you can’t “delete” this loot. Annoying.

Kind of missing the point here.

Yes, they lowered the threshold to acquire the rune to friendly, but this doesn’t solve the issue of waylaid supply crates being a unique item requiring you to turn in at a capital city.

Also, like i said, 99% of the time you won’t have the materials on-hand to fill a crate. So this change is kind of pointless unless you decide to fill your bags with materials and go farming crates.

My issue is Waylaid Supply Crates is a great idea, but having them limited to 1 held at a time makes them annoying instead of fun.

What is the argument to keep this as a unique item? Does anyone like it like this?

I think a fair adjustment could be Waylaid supply crates drop related to your profession. So if you are a miner/blacksmith, crates should drop asking for ingots or armor/weapons.

That way you are more likely going to have supplies on hand to fill those crates.

I can.

It’s to encourage you to buy the item you get in order to drive the economy of all tradeskills instead of having everyone waiting to get the cheapest ones.

I tried farming mobs for an hour no supply drop…is this even enjoyable?
