(Fixed) Raw Gold Returns Have More Than Doubled From These Raids (Retail) (Patreon)
Content
Updated: Vendor value of items has reverted to SL levels.
Many raid bosses in the expansion listed below have had the vendor prices of weapons and armor increase dramatically in yesterday's patch. This appears to be neither a glitch nor an intended change by Blizzard-it is just a bizarre by-product of scaling.*
A few items dropped by certain bosses have also gone down significantly - these are worth avoiding.
Legion bosses are now mostly worth double what they used to be - around 300 gold each. The exceptions, for reasons known only to Blizzard, drop multiple items worth only silver and are not worth killing, these are:
(Nighthold)
Tichondrius
Trilliax
Gul'dan
(Antorus The Burning Throne)
Felhounds Of Sargeras
The changes make LFR Legion raids worth soloing and are, at least for short periods, superior to other basic gold farming methods such as gathering.
I am preparing a public guide on this which will be released when I am certain Blizzard do not intend to revert this change. While there is even a small possibility this is a glitch it will remain on patreon-after which point there is no reason to keep this secret.
* I can't stress enough how difficult it is sometimes to work out what the hell Blizzard are doing. Sometimes I suspect even they do not know.
