I really enjoy the island expeditions.... in small doses. Chain running 7 in a row gets shitty fast, but spreading them out over the week they are a nice break from world quests and mythics.

Yup pretty much this need to spread your island stuff out over the week but a couple at a time they are pretty fun. Did a couple heroic ones where sneaky pete was being super aggressive and it was pretty much a running battle with hordes of critters for a good 10 minutes.

Has anyone gotten either a weapon or trinket to pop up on their worldquest?

EU servers had a weapon pop up today on a Voldunai WQ. Didn't bother because it was a staff and I'm MM atm.

I agree that there does seem to be a lack of them, I got a bow from Honorbound emissary WQ a week ago and before that it was some green I got while levelling. Every other slot has been upgraded 2-3 times in the meantime.

Sounds like what Grid does, i not used grid in a while since blizzard sorted they own raid frames. I used to love grid but then I got the hump with having to configure it for every new encounter to add all the debuffs was a royal pain in the arse. On the blizzard ones it picks up all debuffs and buffs and will only show dispelable ones by you etc by defualt no import needed. I will try that Vundo one someone mentioned a few posts down

It was fucking Grid!

I just always have it setup to show whatever I can dispell.

Yeah these 'upgrades' are terrible. The only worthwhile one so far was for Spud the hyperfast crag 'mount'. I just upgraded an outpost that gave me a scrapper. I could maybe understand if I didn't have access to a scrapper before doing this that it might be really cool to unlock, but as it is who the fuck has a pressing need to scrap gear at one particular flight point versus just going back to town and then continuing on?

Is that the alliance version of the Ettin that horde get? It hauls ass forward, not stopping, but you can steer it? kinda looks hilarious as an orc being carried around like ice cream in the hand of a giant, derpy looking child.

Yeah it is. For our version we ride inside his mouth before he eventually spits us out.

I only do them on heroic. From what I heard normal wasn't Worth doing
When I pug I do some normals. They go super fast. I go bear and basically pull everything in my path and press my two air buttons. I get a normal done in about half the time as a heroic for 66% of the reward.

Fuck Blizzard in their collective ass.

Whoever though that rewarding the same motherfucking piece of azerite armor for every WQ in a zone AND for the fucking emissary quest as well should be put to goddamn death.

I did them last week on normal as I hit 120 on sunday and wanted to make sure I got the weekly done. I actually enjoyed them it just sucked there was no actual gear even greens droppin and all of my leveling azerite armor was maxed out so felt a bit unrewarding. I have seen the loot table and I know there is a LOT of shit that can come from the islands it just seems super stingy to those who first are doing it.

It's still to make a piece of gear that is higher then any drops currently in the game and equal to the highest of titanforges. If it took less then that I would be disappointed. Everyone would be full 355 and there would be no reason to do any content.
It makes TWO pieces of gear total, which are equivalent in ilvl to a normal raid drop, AND whose crafting IS required to make use of the crafting material raid drops. Plus, of course, it's RANDOM STATS MAN. You will barely be able to craft your two pieces before the raiding begins, and they're obsolete the week after...

If it was a drop in the bag for the first random heroday (there's no such bag), it might be ok. As a mythic-only craft component, it's stupid.

I got Incessantly Ticking Clock from a WQ once or twice, but other than that its largely been Versatility gear that spawns, which I abso-the-fuck-lutely do not want.

The gear is raid prep gear. I know it's a hard concept to get.
It's raid prep gear for ServerFirst guilds.

For everyone else, it's a requirement to be finally allowed to craft the heroic-level gear with sanguinicells, which is the requirement to be allowed to craft the real gear (mythic ilvl) you really want.

Me, I'm running 30 mythic, and not one more. Once I've unlocked the rest of the craft, mythic can say goodbye. I'm not crafting a bag this expansion. I'll buy them if need be.

What statements have I posted that were a straw man? The gear is meant to get you ready for raid and they want you to work for it. It's really not a hard concept.
if you have done 30 mythic dungeons, then your ilvl is almost certainly at a point where TWO whole normal-raid ilvl items are not going to change much in your performance... and if you've done it before raiding unlocks, you're almost certainly in a guild where you're going to go heroic that week or the next and your gear is obsolete.

IF. IT. HAS. GOOD. SECONDARY.STATS. If it has the two worst secondaries... well, you probably have mythic0 non-warforged that is better than the shit you just ran 15 mythics to get. YOOHOO!!!

I don't play every class, but I am fairly certain the main stat on a 355 is more beneficial even with bad secondaries than a 340 piece of gear.

Merrith Merrith I just had a thought hit me about your Tortollan rep based on 8/20's hotfix notes:

* Fixed a bug that caused a few Tortollan quests in Stormsong Valley from awarding Tortollan reputation as intended.
I'm wondering if that's the issue.
