Runestone question.

[Cowpunch]

Hey guys.

11/12, the dreaded last runestone.

Done all of my LFR's.

Is it possible to get another on another difficulty? My guildmates are all over the place with this.

Any pointers would be great, cheers.

[Evil Inside]

Pretty sure flex, normal and heroic all drop stones.

[Cowpunch]

So I can in fact do flex and still have a chance at getting another runestone?

[iamthedevil]

I'm pretty sure it's on chance per boss, period. Not per boss, per raid type.

[Cowpunch]

Yeah I figured.

Any proof of this anywhere?

[Deja Thoris]

It's one drop chance per difficulty per week, always has been. Otherwise everybody would have run all difficulties possible to get the items really quickly.

[Cowpunch]

You can get a second chance in Flex.

You can get a second chance in Flex.

It is not true , u only can loot Runesrones once a week per boss,no matter what difficulty it is , LFR/Norm/HC/Flex

Sadly this is true. And only the first 8 bosses of Siege and last 8 of ToT drop, so 16 chances total (1 being 100% i.e. Lei Shen). If you've exhausted all of that.. you're SOL

I feel your pain. I just got my 11 last night. I did 11 bosses that could drop Runestones and got a total of 3, with one being the aforementioned 100% drop. I have two more chances (Dark Shaman and Nazgrim) but it's looking grim. On the plus side though at least that means it's guaranteed #12 next reset.

ToT LFR Part 3 OR those bosses in normal OR those bosses in heroic
ToT LFR Part 4 OR those bosses in normal OR those bosses in heroic
Raden Heroic
SoO LFR Part 1 OR those bosses in normal OR those bosses in heroic OR those bosses in Flex
SoO LFR Part 2 OR those bosses in normal OR those bosses in heroic OR those bosses in Flex

There are 15 bosses you could kill for potential rune stones each week.

Lei Shin is 100% drop rate. 25% drop rate on all other bosses.

87% chance to only take 2 weeks to complete this quest. My DK sitting on 11/12 after 2 weeks

You mean last 6 bosses in ToT and it is 14 chances unless u do Ra-den as well.

Same story here 11/12 though I've been lucky and got 11 stones in 2 weeks , just missing last one.

Lei Shin is 100% drop rate. 25% drop rate on all other bosses.

Either this is complete bullshit or I was very, very unlucky. Killed 60 bosses on 2 chars without a runestone drop (excluding Lei Shen ofc). This was before 5.4 though. It does seems like the first 8 bosses in SoO have a higher drop rate than the 5 in ToT.

It was buffed upon 5.4 release. (Thank Fuck!)

Sha of Pride is also like Lei-shen, that he's a 100% guaranteed drop on legendary items.

It's only 1 attempt per boss per week across all difficulties.

If you already completed Siege of Orgrimmar wings 1 and 2 for Secrets of the Empire they won't drop a Titan Runestone. If you haven't completed Throne of Thunder wings 3 and 4 though, you can run that with Lei Shen being a 100% guaranteed drop..

As a side note, only the first 8 bosses in SoO have a chance (Sha of Fear is 100% guaranteed just like Lei Shen) to drop items for Wrathion's legendary quest line.

[kaamila]

ya one chance per boss for across all difficulties. the first week of the patch, flex and normal were dropping items like they were different lockouts so you could have finished faster(i ended up getting 4/4 secrets from week 1 flex then getting 6 in normal) but they fixed it sadly.

i finished this week at 11/12. had 4 bosses to get 1 runestone and of course i didnt get it. fortunately i know some people that do ra-den every week so ill still be getting my cloak. just later on in the week.

Sure doesn't seem like the drop rate was actually buffed, but RNG is RNG.

Nazgrim isn't a guaranteed drop either is he? Just Sha of Pride? Looks like unless I get VERY lucky, another week for mine as I only have 2 bosses that can drop one left (Dark Shaman and Nazgrim), and nobody I know of does Ra-den.

[Aeshur]

I ran into this problem as well, but managed to pull it off. Since you did ask "on any difficulty," the answer is yes. If you haven't done TOT at all this week and you can kill Raden then he also has a 100% drop rate on the runestones.
