When I did my second round of LFR yesterday morning it felt exactly the same
Very possible that the healers were licking themselves or their cats during the fight it is LFR after all. But I was surprised to see a tank actually die on the shroom fight.

So are raid lockout rules the same? I was in a pug raid last night where we killed first boss fine, then our DPS took a shit on Butcher for some reason and people bailed. I'm locked to that one correct?
The only difficulty where you are "locked" to that raid ID has been the highest one. So Mythic raids this expansion, etc. everything else you are just prevented from getting loot more than once from a boss per week.

Personal loot in raids has always been lower % than in 5man, plus they have a built in "bad-luck" streak that raises your chances each time you don't get something. So this first week EVERYONE started out with their lowest % chance to get loot, especially off the earliest bosses.

It's pricey and risky but I've been buying up Hexweave bags for 6-7k and flipping them for 10k. Only when there's only a few on the AH though. Also bought a few myself. 4 30slot bags is fucking jerkoff material after spending all this time with 16 slots holy shit

What's the fastest way to get 1750 honor now, still bonus objectives in Assran if you haven't done them yet? I need a trinket for my hunter and I'm not about to waste a unique(3) on a Skull of War when it's rated like 30 dps higher than the honor insignia. The honor one is like 200 more dps than the one I have from the i615 mission, so if there's not too much actual pvp faggotry required I'll go get that.

Uhh.. do arenas for conquest cap to get the 660 trinket. Plenty of low ranked dudes in guild that you can run with. Can cross realm it too with dudes here. *need to have atleast 50 conquest from last week and then cap out 1700 this week to buy it*

Ashran rewards 60 conquest per boss kill and 500 ish honor for a win.

I think they hotfixed the bonus objectives yesterday, they're now considered dailies.. so you can only get the honor reward once per day

I despise arena, don't have any conquest points now, and I would like a trinket today or tomorrow at the latest.

The bonus objectives used to be 500 honor, but I thought they were one-time-only per character. I was hoping to just do 4 of them and never go there again. That's what I did on my DK like 3 weeks ago anyway, did something change since then?

I read it as they made those bonus objectives a daily i.e. easy 2k honor every day. Maybe not heh. You can also grab the trinket from Kargath on LFR that's what I did to replace my last shitter instead of getting a skull.

I picked up a skull for 6kg before I transfered, saving up paints for tarots now that darkmoon cards are in decline. it's top 3 BiS when fully upgraded (670)

So when Method killed Mythic Butcher they put a HyperX logo on the SS. For whatever reason HyperX paying them money to PvE raid is hilarious to me.

Tich must be a weird server. Stormrage is like 50% more expensive than Hyjal for everything I looked at buying there before I transferred. If all the characters weren't already pretty much capped on gold I would have tried to sell more stuff before I left.

I could buy the war cards on Hyjal since the pieces are much cheaper than the whole deck or finished trinket, but for hunters the skull is only average even when fully upgraded. It's way behind the Lucky Doublesided Coin, can't even beat the normal mode raid trinkets, and is only very slightly ahead of the conquest insignia. If I was going to spend that much gold I'd just get a LDSC.

Yeah I bought each of the trinkets for like 6kg on Stormscale. The market is beyond retarded for the trinkets. Decks of X cost about 14k each... but the trinkets you get from clicking them cost like 6-8k tops.

Cards still sell for quite a bit. Its a strange strange world.

And Vorph didn't you say you were broke upgrading the garrison buildings earlier? I thought gold cap is 999k?

Yeah I had 190k before I transferred, I loaded up on herbs boe epics and all kinds of stuff. Converted some of the gold into blueprints I hadn't learned yet since the vendor price is exactly the same as the purchase price (roughly 12kg trasnferrable this way)

Gave away the difference to a RL buddy who stayed behind on tich.

Bleeding Hollow was similar to Tich. It has to be because of server sizes. Hyjal is not that populated. I brought over 50k in gold and about 100k worth of rugged leathers? (the shit that is used for LW daily cooldown). The leathers were 4-5 gold each on BH, 11-12 gold on Hyjal. $$$.
