    10/25 man drops: did I miss yet another change?

    My understanding going into Cata was that 10 and 25 man drops the exact same gear; just more of it in 25 mans however, Im seeing items listed as 25 man only drop or 10 man only drop, the same way drops worked before. Did this get changed/reverted back to the old style now? I didnt see any new mention of this?

    Would you mind providing an example of these listings? Perhaps it's just that there is not enough data yet (on for example wowhead), so that it only "knows" about a few drops in 10 man, and a few others in 25 man?

    I was pretty sure that both 10m and 25m dropped the same gear (lets call it i333) and heroic 10m and 25m dropped the same gear just with upped stats (i346 lets call it).

    Maybe you should try balancing the large cup of QQ in your left hand with a big mug of STFU in your right.

    No, 10 and 25 man raids drop the exact same items and ilevel. That is 359 on normal and 372 on heroic (I believe). Also 25 man does not drop more gear per person, it's the same ratio as 10 mans. That's 1 piece per 5 people per boss. So 10 man bosses drop 2 items and 25 man bosses drop 5 items. The one difference is that 10 man bosses give less Valor Points than 25 man bosses.

    Some items only avaible to 10s and some only available to 25s

    25s do seem to have a larger item pool.

    Since Cata beta, wowhead should not be trusted too much: several bugs and a not up to date db.

    The database on wowhead is not up to date, the drops are exactly the same in 10 and 25 man with each boss dropping 1 piece of loot per 5 players.
    2 in 10man, 5 in 25man.
    STFU and kill shit.
