Legendary Item Bad Luck Protection
Yes, bad luck protection does exist.

When it comes to most targettable loot from a boss (gear/mounts/pets etc.) those drops have a fixed drop chance. If "Boots of Unending Awesomeness" have a 33% chance of dropping, that chance will always be 33% regardless of how many loot-eligible times you kill that boss.

Legendaries on the other hand, if you are running Legendary-eligible content and don't get a Legendary, then your chance of getting one with increase over time. The more content you do without getting a Legendary, the higher your chance will become.

Let's say you have 3-sided die. If you roll the number 3, you get the item.

In the case of the "Boots of Unending Awesomeness," you could roll the die 20 times and never get a 3. Your chance of getting a 3 on your next roll is still 33%, as all rolls are considered unique and do not take previous rolls into account; the die cares not for the fact that you've yet to roll a 3.*

(*note that this refers to the items that drop directly from the boss and not the system of winning items via bonus loot, which has its own logic.)

In the case of Legendaries, you could roll the die 20 times and never get a 3. However, with bad-luck protection, the die will become more and more weighted toward giving you a 3. Due to the die becoming more weighted, the chance of getting a 3 on your next roll will be higher than without bad luck protection. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Fan Art - Giraffe Mount
Thomas Karlsson shared his art of a Giraffe Mount.

Gimme that mount!

[Jabilesblack]

That mount is a dream since the first day of stepping foot into Barrens... and that PC is a dream in and of itself

[Tayla]

5k order resources? That's it? No chest?
:\

:\

They never reward chests for trivial content, for instance, there are no chests for pet battles either And pet battles are more demanding than WQs T_T

[DeusRex]

You guys forgot that the Frost DK Hidden Appearance drops from the Soultakers

[Drynix]

Its not confirmed that soultakers drop the frost DK HAA, it is assumed they do. We should see reports of it popping up soon if they do. Lets hope they do! The wait has been long enough!

[tanksin the enhance shamy]

the dk skin does infact drop

[Crawor]

That jacket looked rly crappy tbh.

[kamuimac]

and for the iminent incoming whining " it didint drop does this mean i have to wait 16 weeks for next chance ? "

[Queen of Hamsters]

That Giraffe mount... GIEF!

And as for Method: So much for there not being any cheering when guilds kill bosses the first time nowadays.

[Deleted]

I really wish they'd add a EU store... again.

By the time it actually gets here it'll end up costing somewhere between +50-150% as much as the actual cost of what you purchased.


(Didn't they just say it'd close down temporary back then?).

I posted my first comment about it like 3 minutes after having the appearance drop :P

[Inzane47]

Has Blizzard ever stated that bad luck protection exists for subsequent legendary drops? Say you get a legendary, and the base drop rate goes back to the original 1% (or whatever it is). Will that continue to increase as you do legendary-eligible content as it would for your 1st legendary?

[MatthewOU2015]

Why put a world boss in a room?

[Turtlewithnoshell]

Wind relic? It's a storm relic.

[un_known]

and dont forget that this would be the 8th on the list for the unleashed monstrosities achievement (which unlocks an artifact skin)

[Drynix]

That settles it then! Sweet looking forward to killing this guy on my DK tomorrow then! EU always being late :P
