Island Expeditions BoA Gear Tokens in Patch 8.1.5

Recommended Posts

41990-plundered-armor-tokens-coming-in-p

In Patch 8.1.5 Build 29220, we datamined Plundered BoA gear tokens from Island Expeditions, used at level 111 or higher to create a soulbound item appropriate for your loot specialization. The tokens can be purchased for 20 Seafarer's Dubloons each from Dubloon Traders, but they're not available for each slot, probably because said slots are occupied by heirlooms, which can be upgraded to scale to level 120 in Patch 8.1.5.

Captain Klarisa (Alliance) & Captain Zen'taga (Horde) now sell the following BoA gear tokens for 20 Seafarer's Dubloons:

We tried buying a BoA token from the vendor and ended up with a green ilvl 286 item at level 120. Keep in mind that this gear is intended for alts and players that level through Island Expeditions and the slots are supposed to work with heirlooms.

they are completly useless and far too expensive
the overall island currency situation is extremly dumb
theyd need to up the currency gain by something like x10 and even then those tokens would still be more or less useless

286 at max level ist pathetic. It would have been already useless to buy those at bfa launch for your alts. They should at least be 310 or 320 to even push the gs a little bit, when you reach max level and want to switch out your lowest gear pieces.

Either this increase i mentioned, or dont make them buyable, and make them drops, like in legion, you found those things from time to time, and stocked them up. And when an alt reached max level, it was like i had a ton of them in stock and could gear that alt instantly to a decent gearlevel to start worldquests with fine rewards. I would prefer that, tbh, and rather stick to dubloons to buy cosmetics ?

When they really implement like this, no one at all will bother buying them, or regret buying a few out of curiosity ?

I have a feeling the ilvl and rarity are random. I'll try out buying more, maybe the items are capable of War/Titanforging at max level.

286 ilvl war/titanforged into......300 ILVL!
YAY!

But being serious - these things make zero sense since you can easily get better items in normal dungeons and world quests.
Unless you are a nutjob who collects every single piece of gear in the game for their t-mog collection.

Not a bad idea for people (like me) who have leveled their toon though the Island Expeditions -- people without any quest gear, in other words.

@ stevenson      no takes about 4 hours with islands to go from 110-120 and you will have @ 20  ranks in your neck when done. And why did people that collect all the mogs in game need to be called nut jobs? because we found something we enjoy doing with our time instead of complaining about anything out of the norm that is put  in game, or arguing over faction superiority or how activision is destroying blizzard? personally i think the people that waste their time doing the things ive mentioned are the nut jobs.

1) 4 hours of mindless grind to get to 120 completely naked? NO THANKS
2) Aaaand you went full agressive mode like if i specifically said that YOU'RE that nutjob and should be ashamed of yourself.
Dude there are chill pills on the shelf. Take one

You described all those people as nutjobs.

Its pretty simple logic to assume he (as in one of those people) assumed he was included in that lot.

If that's backward logic Id like to see forward logic in your pov.

That Satchel reward is random and has a chance to reward Dubloons from 2-18 along with the random chance of quest item, xmog item, pet, or elusive mount from the loot tables.  Grinding an alt from 110 to 120 you may have any where between 60-80+ Dubloons (if you are lucky).  The current rewards from the vendor are steep for most of the pets and even for for the Albatross mount.

I don't think I will rely on this new 'incentive' too heavily when Normal/Heroic Dungeons and along with World Quests/Emissary rewards may progress gear faster than spending on tokens.  It's a nice gesture but the majority of alts I do have are already 120 w/ an ilvl 355-370+

But for those that are just now playing for the xpac or returning on a long hiatus it may be considered as a small stepping stone for their character.

I think these aren't intended to be used at 120, more like 111, 112, etc - use them as soon as you have 20 dubloons, as you level - meaning you'd actually be getting new gear at approximately the same rate as if you quested or ran dungeons.  It's a little better, since you can choose to fill a particularly weak slot or something, but basically as soon as you hit 120, you go do the regular gear grind.  

Expeditions are still a little worse since you don't get rep, so you still have to quest to do the war campaign and unlock your missions/ship upgrades/etc, but at least you don't hit 120 in argus gear.

They aren't a gear catch up mechanic like the old Broken Shore tokens.

What is this fabled satchel you speak of? I myself have only procured a measly pouch every run with a single, or with luck maybe two doubloons. 

Does such a thing as 2-18 exist?

 

But in all honesty, pouches suck massive chode.  Didn't know satchels was there, unless its in PBE and not out yet.

They should increase the ilvl to at least give something for alts to start off on heroics or something along those lines.

I've gotten 12-16 Dubloons before on some runs that were either Heroic or Mythic grade Isle Expeditions on my DH.  But the Satchels for those are hard to come by and I usually will get 2-4 Dubloons or a crappy xmog green that gets vendor quickly.

And I've had a Guild mate that opened one Satchel and received 18 before.

see there you go calling people names again. you dont want to be called names evidently neither does anyone else and at no time did i ever say you were one of the people i reffered to . i just said i think they are the nut jobs  not the mog collectors if your past posting and actions in forums makes you feel like  i was reffering to you thats your problem not mine

I'm dumbfounded that I have never received one even though I got the upgrade, I thought it was the small pouches that came along with a random quest for Azerite delivery thing or an xmog that came from that tech upgrade. That's so *filtered* dumb.  I run them a lot to get azerite easily and they are somewhat fun for me as a change of pace from boring WQ.

I've never seen one drop for me.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
