I'm a completionist. The only engineering recipe I'm missing is the one from Firelands, which I'm working on the rep for. The only enchanting recipes I'm missing are that #%@ #%^ lesser block one, and these two from Ulduar.
I was able to solo FL on the easiest setting (pretty easily) for the first time just now. No recipe, as was to be expected.
I've heard that these enchants drop more commonly from 25man, and/or from hard modes? What would be the best way to go about completing my set with these two (and hoping the stars align and lesser block is being sold for less than 30k some time >.>)
These enchants drop only from 25man kills. Don't know do they have increased drop chance on hardmode but I doubt as I've seen them dropping somewhat equally on normal/hm.
I'm only missing blade ward and let me tell you it's rough knowing one enchant is keeping you from everything in the game. Ulduar runs are almost non-existant. And I can't solo the first guy even with all the towers down.
Oh well. Really wish they would drop in 10man version like all the other recipes do.
They drop in 10man hardmodes and 25man normal/hard. Get some friends under the pretense of getting one of them Valanyr. If they happen to get some shards, good for them, but if the patterns drop, woohoo.
