You can get this item by opening Satchel of Chilled Goods. Good luck!

(I happen to get it first try, dumb luck, but I wish everyone else luck and hope this new bad luck protection is the best thing for event items)

Comment by ShurqElalle

Is the bad luck protection tied to only the first bag of the day? I wish Blizz was more transparent w this. I will take my entire alt army through the queue if each ramps up the tic but also cool with just doing one character a day if not. Thats like 2 hours a day vs 5 min a day..

EDIT: I did it on 17 ppl the first day, and have done it on one char every day since. I got it today (thursday), so the 7th account wide daily try. :D

For once, I got a (presumably) somewhat rare item on my first try ever. Looted on a lvl 70 warrior

I wish everyone good luck on getting this! Hopefully Blizzard finally nails bad luck protection this time for the holiday events and keeps it going forward for the other events too.

Got after first kill this event. Might be high %.

Thought I'd just make a post for transparency regarding this drop, after an update to the way the loot system works for holiday events, starting with this year's Midsummer Fire Festival.

This manuscript, Cliffside Wylderdrake: Midsummer Fire Festival Armor drops from Satchel of Chilled Goods, which is an award for queuing up and defeating Ahune, the Frost Lord, during the Misummer Fire Festival seasonal event. This event is live from June 21st until July 5th 2024.

Blizzard released an article regarding this year's event, and included a section about an updated loot system. The full article can be found HERE, but the important section reads as follows:

"We’re changing the way the loot system for the holiday boss drops work. We have increased drop rates significantly for the first boss kill on a single account. Only the first attempt on a single Battle.net account will be eligible to receive the item drop, however. For each subsequent daily attempt on the boss with a single Battle.net account, the chance for the item to drop will increase and continues to accumulate for each failed attempt. This change will allow players to spend less time working to earn a specific dropped item while providing an increasing opportunity to get that item during the holiday."

So in summary, only your first kill/bag of the day can contain the item, so pointless running your army of alts through the dungeon now. In additional, for every failed attempt, the chance of it dropping on subsequent days increases.

Comment by Depresnak

Hard to understand. A friend of mine run it with alt army (well 17 i think) at first day and get it on secoud day. I run with 2 char and get nothing.
Absolutely not enough to understand if alt army is influence it somehow or not.

Comment by strawberygrl

I was super lucky for once. I got both this and the frostscythe (which I have been farming forever) in the same satchel on my first try!

Comment by Kisses

Received it on my first try ever, first daily kill ♥ Coincidence?

Comment by Ravendwyr

I received this today. I can confirm for anyone curious that you do not need to have the Cliffside Wylderdrake in your mount collection in order to loot and use this manuscript. There is no need to power your way through the Thaldraszus storylines if you've got other things going on. The customisations will be waiting for you at the Rostrum.

Comment by Apolyptica

Got it from Knapsack of Chilled Goods on a level 25 alt. It was the first kill of the day.
It should be possible to obtain this on a F2P/unsubbed account with a level 20 character as well.

Comment by gomis96

Tried it once per day and got it on my 3rd try on the 3rd day.

Comment by Kuroihana

im even more confused about this...
i still dont have the mansucript..so..i keep trying..

the german page say

Wir verändern das Beutesystem von Feiertagsbossen. Die Beuteraten für den ersten Sieg des jeweiligen Battle.net-Accounts über einen Boss wurden deutlich erhöht. Allerdings gilt diese erhöhte Wahrscheinlichkeit nur für den ersten Versuch des jeweiligen Battle.net-Accounts. Bei jedem weiteren täglichen Versuch, den Boss mit dem jeweiligen Battle.net-Account zu besiegen, erhöht sich die Chance, den Gegenstand zu erbeuten, und wird mit jedem fehlgeschlagenen Versuch weiter erhöht. Dank dieser Änderung müsst ihr weniger Zeit aufwenden, um einen bestimmten Gegenstand zu erhalten, und gleichzeitig erhöht sich die Wahrscheinlichkeit, diesen Gegenstand während der Feiertage zu ergattern.
which should translate into something like this

We're changing the holiday boss loot system. The loot rates for each Battle.net account's first victory over a boss have been significantly increased. However, this increased probability only applies to the first attempt of the respective Battle.net account. With each additional daily attempt to defeat the boss using the respective Battle.net account, the chance of looting the item increases and continues to increase with each failed attempt. Thanks to this change, you will have to spend less time to obtain a specific item while increasing the likelihood of getting that item during the holidays.

Which is diffrent to the original english post - where they say "to recive the item drop"

We’re changing the way the loot system for the holiday boss drops work. We have increased drop rates significantly for the first boss kill on a single account. Only the first attempt on a single Battle.net account will be eligible to receive the item drop, however.

I even wrote a ticket..took me a while to get a Not AI generated answer..but this answer was even worse ... tldr was " Game Masters are not involved in the development of the game

So im not sure which of the posts i should trust...
English post would say (as i understand it ) first try has chance to get item each other trys get you blp
The german post tells me the first try has higher chance and each other can still dropp and increases blp

If i can trust the comments here and in the event post and on wowhead article..the german version is the one thats in place.
But then i dont even know why they tell us like this.
Its just a confusing mess and very very bad wording.That happens a lot lately sadly...
Why dont they just say we added blp and dont confuse us with these wall of text..like i do rn haha

Comment by Sharpbladez

10 days of doing 1 klll a day and still no skin. I really dont believe my chances are improving everyday.

EDIT: Got it on the 11th day, but I still think the system is poorly designed and there is no reason that a holiday manuscript should be rare. Its not a mount, its a skin that most people wouldnt even notice another player using.

Comment by Argus00

I'm calling total BS on all these bad luck protections.

Comment by Dantares24

1 kill per day for 13 days so far and no mount customization yet. We don't know what the starting % chance is and how much each failed attempt adds each day. This just feels bad. I still have 2 chances left so I might get it, but if I don't I'm just supposed to wait a whole year to try again? Why can't we purchase these?

Edit: Just killed it for the 15th time this morning before the event ends and didn't get it. Oh well. Only 351 days until June 21, 2025.

Comment by Tajnis

Got after second kill well nice

Comment by Mentha

Been killing Ahune every day and no drop. They say that you get 1 chance a day, which increases each day, but the only way this would be an improvement is if it started at, say, 10% and then every day went up another 10%, so that before the end of the event it would be guaranteed as long as you kept trying. Because with the previous system you at least had the option of running it hundreds of times if necessary.

Comment by Salerias

Would be nice to have a system where you could buy thinks like this with a currency. We could call that, I don't know, Burning Blossom for example. I guess that idea is to crazy. Better use random drops

Comment by Tonnesofnoob

Got mine today, 14th kill. Still seeing others NOT get it, all in all I think it's still a worse change, and I hope at least the "bad luck protection" they've added doesn't reset per year.

And also that it has stacked up past events where they've already added increase drops keep stacking and don't reset (looking at you arfus, my 270 attempts last year were bad enough)

Comment by Beatrice

Final day's attempt, and... of course, no drop. Great design, Blizzard.

Comment by bronyam

I never trust 100% to blizz's "bad luck protection", "we improved the...", etc stuff, so I run dung with 7 toons everyday. Rest 6 toons just gathered currency to buy remaining pets and toys.
No manuscript. Today, with last try I entered dung and OF COURSE I DIDNT GET IT!
Spit on you ! Your bad luck protection is a scum. it's good loot protection! I have 26 toons and did 400 runs for Love armor and didnt get it too, ofc.
There are A LOT OF WAYS to improve this shet and still make people to play everyday and go to dung,
You could do BLP like 10% increasing everyday with failed attempt. You could just increase a chance to 100% in the last couple days. You could do a new currency dropping from the bag and sell manuscript for that currency. At least you could do manuscript as a buyable for 1000 Burning Blossom, for example. But you chose the worst option, as usual.
So tired of your bs....

Comment by Tonnesofnoob

Actually mounted with this on for the first time, and you don't even sit IN the saddle? you kinda clip through the front of it... it looks BAD

Comment by Shashos

Killed Ahune every day. Nothing. Where is the bad luck protection? This was a terrible change. I got all the other manuscripts.
