Garrosh Heirlooms, Flex

[Ceraius 34]

I've stumbled upon my question before, but for the life of me can't find the post anywhere.

 

So, how's the droprate for Garrosh heirlooms on flex (and to a lower extent on LFR) difficulty? Is it more or less guaranteed to drop on your first run-through or is it more rare? And also, does the game read your spec when deciding which one to hand out when it eventually gives you one?

 

 

Thanksies!

It appears to me that the drop rate may be slightly higher on flex, but this is just based on observation and not actual data. We usually do Flex with anywhere from 20-25 people, and we also kill Garrosh on normal every week. Typically 4-5 people will get an heirloom in flex every week, and only 2-3 people will get an heirloom in normal. If I were doing some rough estimation based on that, then boa's are roughly a 20% drop rate in flex, and about a 10% drop rate in normal.

 

With that being said, I've killed Garrosh 5 times on normal, and at least 5 more times on Flex, and I've never gotten an heirloom.

 

I'm not sure about spec, but I have told your first heirloom will be one that you can use, then afterwards you have a chance of getting any heirloom.

Thank you very much for your reply, sir!

storm's droprates are similar to what ive seen, and maybe a bit on the high side actually. i know one guy who has 4 reg and 2 flex hierlooms and i know a few people who have killed garrosh ten times on normal and have zero weapons.

 

one thing to note, LFR does not drop heirlooms, and Flex, Normal, and Heroic have seperate "first drop" counts. so if you've gotten a few weapons on flex and you end up getting one on normal for the first time, your first normal one will still be for your loot specialization.

This is what I was hoping for. Nice to have confirmation. "Farming" two of them 2H axes to outfit my Warrior once he reaches 90 :D

if your main is a dk, keep in mind setting your loot spec to unholy will prevent 1h weapons from dropping for you.

Mainspec is Blood, which afaik cant get onehanders either, so all is good :D
