Legion Legendaries don't sound too tedious to acquire after all

[Richardbro]

Having played on the beta the last few months, I have noticed that the Legion Legendaries aren't that tedious to acquire which is something we once thought would happen.

They currently have a bad luck protection streak, meaning the people i have played with have almost all gotten a legendary over a few weeks period of semi casual play.

They do not currently drop from:

• World mobs
• Quests
• Daily quests
• Reputation
• Vendors
• Trash mobs
• Rare spawns
• Treasure chests

So they can't be farmed mindlessly through mobs.

These are the ways to acquire them:

• Daily emissary chest day in order hall
• Weekly Class Hall mythic+ dungeon chest
• PvP chest
• 5 men normal dungeons
• 5 men heroic dungeons
• 5 men mythic dungeons
• World Bosses
• LFR Bosses
• Normal raid bosses
• Heroic raid bosses
• Mythic raid bosses

So most of these have a daily and weekly lockout, meaning the only way to grind them besides dallies and weeklies is through spamming dungeons or pvp.

The most reliable way to acquire them though is from the Daily emissary chest day in order hall doing 4 world quests a day. Most people I know have gotten them through that.

Oh, here it comes...

[Kralljin]

define "tedious" i'm doing the emissary quests for now nearly 3 months and and have 0 legendaries.

I have even the 2 Legendary research completed.

Oh, here it comes...

If anything is acquirable potentially from LFR then that same issue arises.
A community problem, not LFR itself.
What there should be is a shared loot lockout.
So you aren't in LFR when you have no need to be.

At least blizzard have kept in a good variety of repeatable content there, not just content on lockouts.
So it offers people an alternative to LFR for their legendaries.
Another reason I would hope for them not to be there.

This. Exactly. This isn't a LFR specific problem, it's a raid lockout issue. It should be one lockout a week, think about it, someone who raids Mythic is also going to be wanting to do Heroic, Normal and LFR on top just for legendaries.

Not so much a Raid Lockout, but more a Loot Lockout.
Therefore if you have friends willing to help you out in a format, then you should still be able to play another format without issue.
If anything I would like a prompt upon entering a raid whether you want loot or not.
So you can do them in any order you wish, but not receive loot from multiple.

same here. And doing mythic+ dungeons regularly too, no drop. Looks pretty tedious to me

I've been in beta for less than a month and I got my first legendary a few days ago (Service of Gorefiend belt) out of a Kirin Tor Emissary chest.

Most people I know who have had beta for about a month or so already have theirs. That's considering that raids and LFR aren't even available on a regular basis.

If you are at all active in the game you will have at least one legendary by the end of the year. Which is fine.

[Tainted0ne]

Legiondaries aren't really something you plan around getting or go out of your way to get. Legiondaries are just if you get one awesome, if you don't its not like you can know how to farm a specific one yet. What proof do you have that they cannot drop off any mob out in the world? Blizzard has said that they can drop from literally anything that gives loot, even mining and herb nodes.

What is going to suck though, is getting a legendary you don't want. Like the one that gives you 50% increased damage on a mob above 90% hp. That legendary is useless for 90% of each fight.

[Low Hanging Fruit]

I don't think getting a legendary is going to be the problem. I think getting the very specific one you want will be more of the issue. My class and role have about 4 that are gainable. Two of them I almost consider pure stat sticks and ilevel boosters. 1 of them is pretty good. 1 of them is "if I got this and others don't they are at a disadvantage". I get the feeling that last one is going to be the one I am worried about getting ant not seeing.

It'd really suck if your legendary was one of the ones that does nothing for your spec's primary role, instead of one of the ones that increases your capabilities by a solid 10%. They do not appear to be universally well-balanced, especially not the "generic" non-class ones vs. the spec-specific ones.

Oh, here it comes...

Yeah.... This is gonna be soooooo fun :I I can already see myself drag myself through LFR just in hope, that i will get a legendary. If i know Blizzard right, they will proberly make it so that Legendaries have a pretty high drop chance in LFR, so that it does not even compare to WQ content.

Playing quite hardcore the beta, no legendary drop.

It drops in normal dungeons and your concern is with weekly LFR Bosses? What?

Good catch, definitely loot lockout not Raid lockout since that's how it's been for a bit now!

Well, that can't be true. I've had both alpha and beta, maxed and played quite a few classes and I never got any of them and even though some of my guild mates have gotten a few most have not.

It's not that it takes time though, it's that you're DPS is decided by RNG. The players that get these items will do really well, the ones that don't might as well quit the game.

It's a bad system.

[Archibalde]

same here. And doing mythic+ dungeons regularly too, no drop. Looks pretty tedious to me

Why? It's not like you have to go out of your way specifically to get legendaries, you acquire them by doing stuff you'd be doing anyway for your artifact and gear. That's not tedious, it's extremely convenient! If you had to do all those things THEN go farm random mobs mindlessly for hours to hopefully maybe get a drop, that would be tedious. You could say it sucks that it's all RNG based and that it might take forever to get one if you are not lucky, but that's another thing entirely.

[Doomchicken]

The only thing about the legendary items that I find interesting/weird is that the items themeselves as stated in the journal are 895. Why is that weird you say? Nighthold mythics drop 905 plus. So the legendary items aren't even the strongest items stat wise for this tier? Or is there some ilvl scaling plan in the works for when nighthold releases?

[Seifross]

The players that get these items will do really well, the ones that don't might as well quit the game.

This is a large exaggeration of the effect they'll have. Legendaries will certainly make an important difference in Mythic/Mythic+, but before then they're far from necessary. "Might as well quit the game" is just insane.

Some one has to carry Lfr after all, guess who it will be ? ^_^ right M Raider ( there are some crazy Legendaries that boost you like 10-20% dmg on sims. especially if you have 2 of it )
