WQ rewards changed when flying into zone?

@Wain-amanthul

There seem to be two different complaints being discussed in this thread:
(i) That the advertised ilevels of rewards change when you zone in. This is what the OP posted about.
(ii) That the reward levels are too low to be worthwhile for your current ilevel. This wasn’t what the OP referred to but has become a common complaint here.

The second one seems like it’s getting hotfixed at least.

@Linxy

Corrected an issue that caused some item levels on rewards granted from World Quests to not keep pace with character progress correctly.

I’ve had a command table reward get replaced with a completely different item upon completing it. Granted, I wasn’t really aiming for the piece, but rather the other reward “Unlock better adventures”, but it was still weird.

The bug or mislabeling involving wq gear reward ilvl affects Kryrian too.

This is still happening!!! Glaive in ardenweld showing as ilvl 161, when I fly there it changes to 151.

I am ilvl 160 so the 161 reward would be the correct one. Why do blizzards ‘hotfixes’ never work!?!!?

today while doing wq’s with a buddy I said to him hey lets go get that conduit it will be nice for us, he says what conduit its a gold quest. Apparently he saw the reward as gold and i saw it as a conduit. not sure how this can happen since we are both arcane mages roughly the same ilvl and in the same covenant playing on the same realm.

It “worked” for Venthyr. My DH sees “good” gear (as good as a 176 can) on screen and pickup.

My fae and kyrian have me going I got nothing here. 158 stuff…they are 172 to 174.

[Missunknown-saurfang (Missunknown)]

My DH is Venthyr as well so I don’t think it’s that, it seems to be sometimes it shows correctly and others it doesn’t. It is really buggy. Your DH has just lucked out is all.

Same thing just happened to me, WQ said 165 when I was in the same area as the WQ but the actual reward was 155. Waste of time.

[Wain-amanthul (Wain)]

Damn, I hoped it was fixed, but I’ve experienced a bunch of rewards decreasing in ilevel when I went to actually do them.

Right now I see a WQ in Maldraxxus, “A Few Bumps Along the Way” that offers me a 174 chest, but only when I’m in Oribos. The advertised reward drops to 164 (useless) when I view it in Maldraxxus. I return to Oribos and it says the reward is 174 again.

has to do with the zones not being tied together, no shared shared seamless border. Your not flying in your zoning in aka Nazjitar Argus style.

Try just doing the quest. A couple of times now I have gotten item level drops different than what the quest level said - usually higher. The drops scale based on your gear, I think.
