As a part of the run-up to patch 11.2, Blizzard is closing out Season 2 of World of Warcraft: The Struggle Inside with a few particular occasions. One in all them is a buff referred to as Collector’s Bounty which is geared toward transmog collectors and mount farmers. Right here’s what you may wish to know earlier than you soar in.
There’s been some confusion about how Collector’s Bounty works. It was carried out on July 1 after the weekly reset, however took a few hours to kick in. Its results had been initially invisible. Now each character who logs into a contemporary Tub server will obtain Collector’s Bounty on entry into the world.
Whereas this buff persists, bosses in each dungeon and raid occasion in “legacy content material” (any enlargement earlier than Dragonflight)drops double the traditional loot. In dungeons, this sometimes means 4 to 6 gadgets, whereas raid bosses can drop as much as 12 relying on the raid’s issue setting. Anecdotally, it additionally appears as if dungeon monsters have a better probability to drop green- and blue-quality gadgets.
It is a nice alternative to seek out any transmogrification gadgets you’ve been lacking. (Personally, I exploit the AllTheThings add-on to trace my assortment, which is why my tooltips are barely longer than traditional).
Additional, a number of particular gadgets, similar to uncommon mounts and legendary weapons, have a +5 % probability to drop throughout Collector’s Bounty. That is 10 occasions their traditional drop price, and a few obsessed gamers have been making an attempt to get them for precise calendar years. Possibly now’s their probability.
