Dragonflight World Boss Loot Added in Latest Beta Build

PTR Posted 2022/09/08 at 1:32 AM by perculia

Every expansion comes with a special tie-in event during the pre-patch, allowing players to farm fun rewards and gear up alts easily. This recent Dragonflight beta update adds some ilvl 280 catch-up loot from proto-dragon bosses, suggesting it will be part of a pre-launch event.

The ancient proto-dragons, harnessing elemental power, will be one of the main antagonists leading up to the Vault of the Incarnates raid, so it makes sense we'd see them attacking in the pre-patch. The bosses below are themed after each element--Earth, Water, Fire, and Air.Basrikron

Comment by hashtagfredWasn't expecting them to have the same models as the 10.0 raid sets. Seems like an odd choice, though I guess you could say the protodrake already had them with them so it makes sense. But stillComment by QwagsoirOnly 8 pieces seems a bit stingy compared to most prepatch events, though maybe there'll be a vendor available to complementComment by GartThese bosses are listed as world bosses under the Dragon Isles dungeon journal. The bosses for the pre-patch event are listed under the achieve Against the Elements

It seems more likely the 280 loot is at the wrong item level.Comment by ArdanielleI'd prefer them dropping themselves as mounts....Comment by glassleoWasn't expecting them to have the same models as the 10.0 raid sets.

TyComment by AthenamonicaBased on the loot tables, these have got to be world bosses for each of the four DF 10.0 zones, rather than being part of some pre-patch event. The 280 iLvl seems like a mistake or placeholder.Comment by OrissanWasn't expecting them to have the same models as the 10.0 raid sets.

Also kind of missing certain slots for drops if this is indeed correct.Comment by NulgarWasn't expecting them to have the same models as the 10.0 raid sets.

But stillComment by TheFallen87Can you please allow us to grind SUPER fast exp during these invasions similiar to the Legion Pre-Patch Event?Comment by RexhanDragon prepatch mount pls, there are so many cool models ... PLEASEComment by SolhuntI want these as mounts so bad, pls let them be mounts eventuallyComment by NulgarDragon prepatch mount pls, there are so many cool models ...

I have seen gs238 bound green items and gs216 unbound items in Azure Span.
Zereth Morthis has gs229 greens, and gs252 bound items, item level in DF leveling starting zones should be at least the same or above that. Currently the NPCs in the beta hit hard, you are happy about each item level during levelling.Comment by SolhuntDragon prepatch mount pls, there are so many cool models ...

Gear will be replaced in Dragonflight but come on put some new dragon mounts drops in there. Otherwise ill skip.
