Dragonflight Season 4 - Antique Bronze Bullion Preview

Looks like it's going to be pretty accessible, which is a bit of a surprise to me. While this should be a "fun" season, Blizzard doesn't generally like to just give stuff away. Being to upgrade my axe in the first week is a vast improvement on the original acquisition of it.

Ridiculous that even Evokers still don't have their legendary yet.

Tried farming the evoker legendary after it was confirmed to be useable in season4. But its just not feaseable. Players completely forgot how the bosses work (or never did them)
And with rotating raids you probably only have a chance every three weeks since most players will be busy doing real content. Looks like a rough time if you don't already have it.

The axe + 2 rings that non-stop proc via mark of fyr'alath looks too good to be true tbh.

Would be nice to have some idea of how they are acquired.

Pretty sure they did that with SL legendary. Have the bow, upgrade it with the vendor item. So, whenever that 1st one was obtained, which I thought we earned 1 a week.

You can still farm that raid during Fated every week. It just won’t be the rotation raid every time.

Yes sure. But what i wanted to say is that its likely most people are busy playing the fated raid or doing m+ rather than doing a non fated raid. And it being evoker only means there are a lot fewer people than the plate meeles that want to kill fyrakk. I just think it will be difficult for anyone who hasn't had a drop yet or rerolls to an evoker.

Gear is temporary, cosmetics are forever.

You might be surprised. Think Sylvanas kills were still going for a few weeks after SL Fated went live, since you could still upgrade it.

That took a dinar which was hard limited to 3 for the whole season. You also had to kill 30 bosses in fated for your first dinar which was impossible week 1, first one came in week3. This upgrade and dinar system is much more lenient, although we still don't know how they are acquired aside from the emissary of war quest, which is a once a month thing and not available week 1. I wouldn't be surprised if the bullions are 1 per week like spark halves so I wouldn't get hopes up about week 1 lego upgrade like that guy is.

Second dinar took 20 kills with 3rd only 10 so it spead up quite a bit.

Seeing the absolute loads of cosmetics on offer I'd say we get loads of bulions. Probably not enough to buy everything and probably quite slow in the beginning to avoid giving out 2 trinkets + weapon week 1 but longterm a lot of them.

Gotcha. My mistake. Thought it was faster.
Seems like a good change for this time around.

It's probably 1 per week, plus 2 from the dungeon weekly when its up and a vault coin exchange for them. It's definitely a lot better than dinars.

I just really hope those new M0's work out.

I fear that some people will just put up impossible and unreachable ilvl requirements for doing them if its too hard.

Go into a +10 right now, imagine the timer, affixes and trash% doesn't exist and that is how difficult they are. In other words, not difficult at all.

This will be a FAR more interesting change at the start of TWW when people are trying to do M0s on fresh 80s. They are gonna be facerolled here in S4 by people that already have S3 gear.

I kinda hope they offer those two necklaces from the first raid to the bullion vendor. I'm still missing one for my ottuk mount.

Don't waste your bullion, Brackenhide will be in the rotation again to drop you the neck.

Yeah, for people already running M+ they'll be no problem. But I think Blizzard wants them to be done by players who are intimidated by a timer who cap out at current M0. These players will be challenged by it. For about two weeks until they get some loot anyway.

Very much so. I do wonder how gearing will work out in TWW launch. Most people will simply not be able to clear M0s in the first reset.

Bullions better drop from M+ as well or I'll be pissed. I don't mind the bar set to like +15-16 for it to drop, but it better be in there.

Maybe because intended lifespan of this content is even shorter than 12 week SL Season 4. In ~8 weeks we expect Pandaria remix and then pre-patch itself.

Pandaria is on May 16th, which is 3.5 weeks.
