So I was trying to get Kiril, Fury of the Beasts (LFR) for my DK and I killed Ultraxion and Blackmaster Warhorn or whatever and then I realised they only give bags of gold. Do they not drop LFR gear?
Can still get gear drops from the DS LFR, but its now the same as current LFR and you either get loot or a bag, No longer like the DS LFR use to be
There's a NPC outside the portal where you can select either of the two LFR wings and get ported to it. Manually entering the portal sets it according to your selection for 10/25 and nm/hc.
And the colour is absolutely a matter of personal preference. Some LFR stuff looks better to me than the nm/hc stuff...
There's this new "invention" of sorts. It's called an opinion. His differs from yours and thinks the LFR one is better looking than normal/heroic. Pretty sweet right?
Also you can talk to an NPC just outside DS to do LFR.
OT: Maybe bring a druid friend and see if it's tradeable from the bag? Doubt it, but could be worth a try.
