Quality of life change: Plaguebloom, Black Lotus, AQ40 Idols

Hello Kronos Devs!

I'd like to make a suggestion to make it easier for players and guilds to farm their raid consumeables. As the topic says its about Plaguebloom, Black Lotus and AQ40 idols.

The current AH prices of Plaguebloom and Black Lotus are crazy. Since months Plaguebloom stacks are 60-100g or 3-5g per piece. Black Lotus once was at 20-30g and it skyrocketed towards 70-100g as well.
Additionally there are several players on the server that (single) multibox farm in AQ20 & AQ40 to sell the scarabs and idols from trashmobs to guilds. Our guild has spend roughly 2500-3000g allready on these idols/scarabs. Im managing the Idols in our guild and we get ~11 drops per raid while we need 20 (10 tokens).

These are clear indicators that there is something wrong with the spawnrates of the herbs i mentioned and the droprates of the AQ40 idols / greater scarab coffer keys.

The solution to these problems is easy: slightly increase the spawnrates of the mentioned herbs and slightly increase the droprates of either AQ40 idols or AQ40 greater scarab coffer keys.

Kronos allready did some quality of life changes like the 10% respec cost. I think 5 gold for 1 plaguebloom is unacceptable and forcing guilds to buy AQ40 idols/scarabs from players that spent hours farming AQ40 trash is in the same category.

Increase spawnrates of Plaguebloom / Black Lotus. Increase droprates of greater scarab coffer keys or AQ40 idols.

Example item: https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?item=21762#dropped-by
Droprates: 7% by specific mobs.
Change to: 10% by same mob type.


greetings

I dont understand why was reduced chance of droping aq40 idols. Earlier chance to drop idols was 4%, just last week it was reduced to 1.25%. Even with a 4% chance has always been the lack of idols of night and sun, now the situation has become much worse.
Why the developers have done so, make a guild infinitely farm trash in aq40 or to brake dressing people, maybe they just want to stretch out the time before the Naxx? I think this is unacceptable a chance to drop, that will make people just leave the server.

As far as I know it has always been 1.25%.
 
Plaguebloom is not that hard to get. You just need to spend some time in the Plaguelands. If you go at US server times especially you'll find a number of them up since there is so few people in the zone.
 
im not a herbalist and im not paying 60-100g for a stack of plaguebloom
 
If you need idols then why isn't your guild farming trash in aq? It takes 5 people, if you are too lazy to do that then thats on your lazy guild.
And Labrador hell yes we want it harder, so multiboxing people don't control all the lotus like they did before, it was disgusting.

What about a low drop % from high level herbs, much like how arcane crystals drop from rich thor veins?

Well then, that concludes the discussion. Have fun with successfully introducing this new suggestion because you don't want to do one of the two things currently available.

What if you're in a guild that clears AQ in one night? No trash respawns after c'thun is dead.
 
What about not clearing it on purpose and farm then? :)
We did that a lot in retail with BWL as well, just to farm ores and Randomepics.
 
@op:
Just because some goods are not available in vast amounts for everybody, it means it's bugged. Strange logic. Isn't there - according to all those whiny little brats - a decline in players and guilds breaking, which should make more herbs available for the "few" remaining players?

You should play without flask, which is possible.
You should stop telling fairy tales like 2% crit from mongoose and some mp5 from mageblood make the difference between killing currently available bosses and not killing it.
You should make idol farming groups with your guild instead of buying over priced ones from the AH.

And finally, you should accept the fact that Vanilla has no garrison which does all the work for you.
 
chainsaw im not saying its bugged - im asking for a quality of life change - just as the 10% respec cost is one of them. forcing players to additionally farm AQ20 & AQ40 trashmobs is annoying as fuck and should be removed from kronos.

and the plaguebloom / black lotus situation should also be fixed to make the players life's a LITTLE bit easier
 
Forcing. You just have to wait a little longer to get your tier 2.5.

You know, like when tier 2 didn't drop off the boss for weeks, you had to wait then too.

The people that are farming idols are doing it voluntarily because they want the gear as soon as possible.

You'd be surprised what it takes for some players to realise buffs and consumables are a nice extra and not a necessity for a smooth, fast raid with high damage output.

Lol have you ever checked that? No you obviously have not, how about you go for a ride through your full cleared aq and get back to me about how many packs are still up.

So and because it would make YOUR life a little easier, you want the change that affects parts of the vanilla feeling. That is very egocentric.
You should spend your time more in forming an idol farm group, rethinking your strategies, how to use different class abilities and some items very efficiently in specific boss situations, rather than wasting it in this thread.
