Dragonwrath Acquisition Rate Adjustments - Updated November 4

Since announcing our tuning adjustments to the acquisition rate of the legendary staff Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest in Firelands, we’ve been listening to your feedback, particularly about the acquisition rate for 10-player groups.

Upon further review, we’ve decided to increase the drops of Eternal Embers, Seething Cinders, and Smouldering Essences across both 10-player Normal and Heroic difficulties, so that the speed of acquiring Dragonwrath for those group sizes will be drastically increased.

We now expect:

  • During a 12-week period, a 25-player raid killing all 7 bosses in Firelands each week can expect to fully assemble 4-6 Legendary Dragonwrath staves.
  • During the same 12-week period, a 10-player raid killing all 7 bosses can expect to fully assemble 3-4.5 Legendary staves.

Please keep in mind that multiple staves can be assembled simultaneously, with up to 3 players collecting the different materials that drop from each boss.



UPDATED November 4

We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear! We’re happy that you’re excited about the recent changes to 10-player Dragonwrath acquisition rates and we want to address those who prioritize 25-player groups. We’re are increasing the acquisition rates of all quest materials in 25 Normal and Heroic difficulties:

  • During a 12-week period, a 25-player group killing all 7 bosses in Firelands each week can expect to fully assemble 7.5-11.25 Legendary Dragonwrath staves.
  • During the same 12-week period, a 10-player group killing all 7 bosses can expect to fully assemble 3-4.5 Legendary staves.
  • Acquisition rates in 25-player raids are now approximately 2.5x faster than those of 10-player raids.
  • The updated acquisition rates previously mentioned for 10 player raids are the same.
  • We’re adding a second guaranteed mount, the Smoldering Egg of Millagazor, to 25-Heroic Ragnaros.

Thank you for your feedback. We hope you’re enjoying Rage of the Firelands. We’re looking forward to the launch of the Firelands raid next week!

    It's always sad to see the aftermath of "no changes" losing.

    The entire point is to get something like the original experience, flaws and all.

    The “no changes” conversation was about actual Classic, five years ago. If they want me to touch these modern expansions with a ten-foot pole there had better be some QoL changes.

    There was always changes lol....and QoL changes are welcome because most people who play Cata/etc are in much different periods of their life compared to back then, it'd be a huge flop if no changes were made and they kept it as-is like in original.

    I would assume the other part of the Dragonwrath changes is so people can actually have it. Remember, we're kinda taking Cata at a run here. Given how long it took to get the first go around, the current pace chances no one getting it, or worse getting it at a point in the expansion where it would be useless. I could see that annoying players. I expect the Fangs of the Father will have similar boosted drops.

    but this isn't like the original experience, is it? firstly, it's condensed. the expansion is not going to take 2 years, it'd be lucky to run for a year. so yeah, stuff like this needs to be sped up a bit because they actually want people to finish the questline this patch.
