Leave it to Wowhead posters to be confused by this type of addition. You continue to surprise at how dense you can be.Whine and complain that 291 legendary gear is too expensive, and that you won't, or can't buy it.. Blizzard finds a compromise, allowing for alts and others to have a very cheap rank 5 legendary, which is more than adequate.How in the world is that concept beyond you people.
This is an amazing change. How are people saying this is bad?I am a crafter; I'm not spending 100k+ gold to craft the same base item 200 items; so I have a 220 base item, because I'm not paying 80k+ for a 235 item for my item slot. This is insanely usefulThen for every alt, I can get a crafting prof to make my 249 legendary. This is really useful for people coming back in 9.2 that hasn't played in a while. I'm happy for these changes.
Look at calendar
On EU, and I cannot see Vestige of the Devourers on Vilo, the Quartermaster. Is this live yet? It said it was hotfixed, which usually suggests it's live immediately, but I cannot find it on the vendor.
I am guessing this change is so people who want to grind out the legendary ranks have increased value for their level 1 crafts? But what about level 2/3 value? Im not sure lol
What a waste time and money!
I have 12 classes 250 pvp ilvl with the unity bell (I did 9 times zm, without skiping the first 3 chapters bc I needed renown)In my server, I can get legendarys for 40k. Even less if I have the PE. In my account I have 900k of gold. I don't want to use even a 1/4 of that for legos that will last only a few months... I liked in last of Legion, with the 1000 essence that let you buy any lego you want. I understand they want to make professions more important, but I don't like to pay tons of gold (and it's very little in my case) for just... some months. I mean, for 333k I can get a mount that will be with me every expansion. I don't like what they did with legos, and I just hope they don't do something this bad at 10.0. Maybe we could be classes running around, using only our powers... Lot of work in every class, every power for every class in every cov... Always the same. The hunt for DH should be a talent IMO....
but... this item wont change anything
This entire Shadowlands legendary system is garbage....Aren't our 291's going to become obsolete come 10.0, maybe even 9.2.5? It's rather disappointing to think of the long-term playout of the gear. I wish they would re-introduce an "orthodox" way of obtaining legendaries; like clearing content and gathering the mats from the content, not making legendaries tied into professions. This is such a mess of a system.
on my server a rank 4 mail gloves cost already 30k+so for me its amazing cuz i do not need to level the legendary crafting, i can just make a 5 for an alt
I guess this is good for poor casuals? really seems lackluster.
Your experience is not everyone else's, clearly. 262 base items cost the same as 291s on my server, and 291s cost 80K+ each.
