PrePatch date - soon?

how much r they nerfing garrison gold?

There will no longer be such a thing as a gold mission reward.
And followers with that trait will instead have it changed to a buffed scavenger trait, further increasing their gain of garrison resources.
It is rather wrong to say it is a -100% nerf, because that was not the entire gold income from the garrison.

However worth noting is that also the salvage yard will not be awarding "player equipment" - basically no more BoE's as far as I understand it, and the class sets are going to be reduced to minimal vendor value, so that salvage yard will remain attractive still for the sets or achievement progression, but little else I think.

But what will determine the viability of the garrison for gold making will depend I feel on the professions.
How much demand will there be for WoD crafted equipment, and subsequently the materials.
Transmog demand I think will drive that to a large extent.

Some people are heavily banking on there being a strong demand for the hexweave bags still.

Due to catchup mechanisms, there is effectively no need for those materials as a means of skilling up.

It's not even worth it for professions now. Trading post items cost got trippled.

There's also something to be said for WoD still providing the best 1-700 profession catchup rate. Bonus of that Ofc is way reduced but....

I'm very curious, why are people so hyped for the pre-patch anyways? The class changes are nice, but they've been available on the PTR for a while, and unless I'm mistaken there is no actual new content until the event stuff right? Raiding with the class changes might be fun I guess. I hope I'm mistaken and there is more to this, but that's all I've heard. Also, maybe I'm just salty because I decided to main a DH and I'm still in "hurry up and wait" mode.

New weapon illusion tomes and mog system.

Depends entirely on the demand.
Supply is going to plummet as most I suspect won't be bothered.
The mine I think is getting nerfed as well, as at the very least the mining trait on an assigned follower is no longer granting you carts (if I recall correctly).

Just checked - and yes.

Higher costs does not exclude an income.

It all depends on the demand, something I feel won't be properly determined in the long-run for quite some time.

So the big take away IMO: Transmog system, Testing out the new graphics system (insane view distances, EVEN ON MY post 660gtx I'm seeing 10x farther with the PTR), Testing out newly revamped class's (If you wait until the invasion event to learn your class - I'm coming for YOU!), Emptying out your bank of shit you no longer need - everything now is a TOY lol

Can't wait! *HYPETRAIN*

Lore is known for always teasing people with riddles & tricks. If anything he wasn't point to 26th, but more likely 2016. Like Drekmar posted liek a page ago .

It is most likely the 19th with the pvp season ending that day, but their is always the chance with Tech issues pushing it back to the 26th. Unlikely but possible.

I super legit hope it comes out the 19th, that way I can have friends again #ripinpeaceWOD

Oh I never said it wont have an income. It will probably not be worth it.

Since when is this the new gold making thread?

[Arthzull]

As I said 26th LOL. In your face 19th sayers

Umm that is not confirmed bud lol, he is a CM.

Back on topic, looking forward to the 19th!

Since when is this the new gold making thread?

Discussion of the impact on the pre-patch, not unrelated.
If what is coming is going to influence what people do in-game, then the changes coming are very relevant.

Predictions of the date which have pretty much exhausted all theories.
There is really little to discuss there now.
It either is coming next week, or it isn't.

So why not continue discussion on what affect that date, regardless of what it proves to be will have.
At least this is constructive, instead of the "yes it will, no it won't" back and forth which in the end isn't achieving anything.

I'm not on the PTR, so I'm very excited for the pre-patch. Also, transmog system = I finally get to empty out all my banks and actually have bag space again.

Make your own thread if you want to talk about gold making instead of hijacking this one.

You're right.

So do you think prepatch is on the 19th or 26th ?

Let's discuss.

Me TOO! Then only one more week to wait! :P

[Sastank]

End of season has never coincided with a patch. Ever. Ofc there is a first for everything but I doubt this will be a case. 1 week after season end is most probable so they can also calculate rewards.
