Hello, just wanna report that it seems like, AT LAST, that islands are worth doing.
I bought 1 box, and got a island mount - People are reporting 20% chance for mounts...?
Im just glad that its finally...maybe fixed. 150 dublons is ofc a lot pr. box, but at least now its doable...
I just hate this game design where shit is impossible then you wait 1-2 years and its np...Blizzard does it for so many years now, tiring. Anyway thats why I didnt grind island before now....barely won 30 mythic.

That's why I always wait. I am a major mount collector, but I didn't bother with Islands as I figured they'd change it eventually. Or, I hoped.
Sadly they've not made changes to the Legion Paragon shit...
They are increasingly stepping over the boundaries of "keep players because they want to play!" and "keep people playing"... There's a difference, which even I can detect.

The actual islands themselves also have massively boosted mount rates.
I did around 30 heroic since 8.3 got 1 mount, a DK in my guild farmed them until level 75 neck, got 9/9 before even hitting 75, i assume this was crazy luck but i bet a lot of people would get at least 2 mounts doing this.

Yes, but 8.3 has massively improved the rates. Originally Posted by Monkeymootwo

Yeah but the random starter single packs of mob types can count for this; there's only a couple of drops that are VERY specific, like the Thunderscale mount (which requires Jorundall island AND dragons to spawn on it to have a chance to drop). Originally Posted by Monkeymootwo

Not sure if mounts also buffed, but 1 guy I ran with did get a mount...the yeti one. We only did like 5-10 runs together on mythic.

I was hoping something along these lines would happen and I'm glad it actually did. Focusing on some other farms still but I may start doing some islands sooner or later now that there's actually a point. Feeling kind of bad for people who did like 5000 islands before 8.3, but I guess that's just how it is sometimes with games that get patched on regular basis.

Think I bought 4 boxes and got 2 mounts.... So it's likely higher than the 5% chance for a mount in the wowhead comment I read based on PTR experiences of buying 100 of each box type.

Indeed. I didn't get the Nightborne rug until partway through BFA and 97 boxes. Up to 84 Voldunai boxes now and no jukebox. Originally Posted by Daedius

Fantastic, I'll enjoy that improved droprate when I blast through BFA islands solo at max level in the next expansion.

So, screw the people that have farmed stuff for years, just hand it out to people. This is why Activision is killing WoW.

Most likely they'll allow solos, but if not I'm sure there will be enough queuing to do it. Would be even faster with three level 60s after all. Originally Posted by Djuntas

It was expected they will implement something like this at the end of the expansion to keep people hooked for a while. Originally Posted by Etoo
