WoW Superstitions -- Got any?

[TheWorkingTitle]

Interested to hear if anyone else has any WoW superstitions of their own. Mine are...


- If I'm rolling for an item, I wait to do it last as I've won many items this way

- I've carried around Enhanced Sours in my bags ever since I got one

- That killing Mr. Bigglesworth will ruin your RNG for that run in Naxx (my whole guild firmly believed this in Classic)

- I sacrifice my turkey pet Gobbles to the almighty campfire as many times as I think I need for RNG boosts

- I believe if you roll a high number before a piece of loot drops that you need, that you've wasted your good roll and won't win if/when it does drop

- I believe in what goes around comes around. If you're positive, do good things in-game, and help others, you'll be rewarded with something nice in return.

- I believe the words "Last Attempt" have a magical effect on a raid. It definitely brings out everyone's A-game. Should NOT be abused, though.

- I've always believed a campfire going during a boss attempt makes a significant difference.



So that's mine. Turns out I have quite a few lol. How about you?

i have heard of and still enforce the mister bigglesworth one. to this very day. anytiome we do mog runs in naxx no one is allowed to touch it and if they do we end the run till reset.

adn i also agree that last atempt is magical.

I used to believe that if i contributed in LFR i had a greater loot chance. I always knew this was false but somehow i always thought if i didn't afk around and tried my chance to get something would be greater.

For me its mindset about actually not believe THAT item drop. While suddenly THAT item will drops.. or i bonus roll it.
Eventually its like just randomly being around, flying around sone instance "well, while i´m there, i´ll just quickly do it".
Raven Lord, Invicible, Horseman´s reins, many mog drops...

I've been holding onto my Talisman of True Treasure Tracking just becasue of the fact of when I once wore it for the lols some time mid WoD, I got the mount from Al'akir.

I hear that if you SHOUT IN GUILD CHAT and spam the item you want from your weekly cache it will sometimes give it to you.

I always try and get a normal (not upgraded) item before I roll on an important boss hoping I get an upgraded version.

- That killing Mr. Bigglesworth will ruin your RNG for that run in Naxx (my whole guild firmly believed this in Classic)?

We had a bit the same, except, many believed it would remove any chance of BoE's in Wrath, while in vanilla we thought it would fuck up RNG.. WHY ELSE WOULD THERE BE A NAMED KILLABLE COMPANION PET!?!?!?!

[FireVoodoo]

Oh sweet Mr. Bigglesworth. I remember poor noobee expelled from the guild after lengthy investigation upon mr. Bigglesworth sudden death.

Obviously raid night was cancelled.

Btw he wasn't "noobee" in terms of skills or whatever. He was full t2 rogue. He was just new to our guild and was excepted after many trials.

Now defunct "Contested" guild, Warsong EU (defunct also).

...oh Vanilla... ..sweet memories. Rest in peace.

Back in WoD, there was a good luck coin you could loot in Frostfire Ridge that would give you a slight stat buff of some sort as long as you were in the zone. I'd get it on every Horde character I leveled through Draenor, just because.

My friend gave me a good luck charm she pick pocketed at some point. Later that night I ended up getting the Al'ar mount and haven't got rid of the charm since.

Killing a gnome in a raid will sacrifice to the RNG and make rolls in your favor.

[Tziva]

I have a lucky Jubling that I /kiss during progression (or just nights where we're having a rough go at things) to bestow luck upon the raid.

It's more of just a tradition than a superstition. I don't really believe in that kind of thing.

[ovm33]

I've always believed that it was bad luck to be superstitious.

[Einsz]

Only casuals get good and highly titanforged items, seems to be true though in my guilds case

[cuafpr]

toons have a "luck" stat that is hidden and random upon creation and why some people get rare mounts / pets super fast while others never see them

case in point my alt DK got BiS leggs for the first 2.. mean while my main prot pally has so-so ones and its been a month+ since the last one dropped.

and yes, last pull is magical... just like the first post break pull sucks.

I have a "bad" raid group i help with that every progression kill in NH was on accidental pulls lol

You're welcome


Seems Mr. Bigglesworth is a pretty common superstition. Really enjoying reading everyone's.

I don't wear necklaces. Never have, never well. That's how they get you.

I used to believe that if i contributed in LFR i had a greater loot chance. I always knew this was false but somehow i always thought if i didn't afk around and tried my chance to get something would be greater.

That would actually be a great idea. Slightly better loot chances for % of fight you were active in.

[Sparklelord]

When I make a new char, I always keep any and all of these I find while leveling. Think my rogue has something like
in his bank lol

Rabbit's Other Foot

I never accept a quest before hitting level 2 on a new character. Don't really do it for superstitious reasons, more or less I've just always done it in every game I ever played (where it was an option)
