Recommended Posts

Our preview of Patch 8.2 continues with the Rustbolt Resistor Rustbolt Resistor which requires Exalted with Rustbolt Resistance and costs a whopping 524,288 Gold. You can find more details about it in our Mechagon Zone Guide.

The mount can be purchased from Stolen Royal Vendorbot, the Rustbolt Resistance Quartermaster located in Rustbolt.

And what would happen to the vendor prices when the gold sinks?

Spoiler

I don't see anyone collecting a gold cap for the mounts 2 years from now if they keep this trend of making gold harder to obtain outside of playing with the ah

Aren't we supposed to be able to make gold before they put in gold sinks? 

just like a mythic endboss mount is a reward for raiders, or PvP mounts are rewards for PvP players, these goldsink mounts are rewards for goblins who play the auctionshouse all day.

Gold sink mounts are disgusting. Just because the like, top 1% of players managed to rake in millions upon millions, the rest of us have to suffer through unreasonable mount prices. It's bloody ridiculous.

Personally, both mounts look fugly as hell...neither is worse more then 40g......the faction mounts look more cooler and they are vastly cheaper.

I imagine most people that bought it aren't using it for the looks - I bought mine for another mount count, as well as being able to just AFK and use the AH outside of a major city. It was incredibly useful back when Boralus was super laggy and I could just sit in Drustvar next to a mailbox and have fun posting auctions.

Is this not the same thing as saying: gladiator mounts are disgusting? Just because the top x% of players managed to get Gladiator, the rest of us have to suffer through not having a gladiator's drake/frostwyrm etc.

Difference is that Gladiator mounts are something that everyone can realistically work towards through regular gameplay. Getting 5 million gold is unrealistic unless you do nothing but play the AH with addons. It doesn't include any sort of actual gameplay.

I agree that everything shouldn't just be given out, and should be worked towards, but every mount getting into the game purchaseable with gold now are becoming insanely overpriced. It would be better to have them be something that can be worked towards via gameplay in some way, like with the raptor mounts from Un'Goro.

If they are to add in mounts for gold, it would be fairer to have prices akin to what the spider mount originally were for on the PTR. 100k that is. Still expensive, but reachable by regular people. Getting mounts to millions are just insane, and targets the very few who have gold from previous expansions, without thinking about the majority of players.

Not very wild about some of those new mounts and it is a bit upsetting to see the gold spike of the price tag that is attached to them.  But I guess one can view this as obtaining a sort of 'rare' mount instead of countless/fruitless runs from doing old Raid/Dungeon grind for select elusive mounts on months to years on end.  And ever since Blizz removed the mounts attached to AOTC my drive for the achievement has diminished but I am looking forward into completing the new Daily quest for the Dino mount once 8.2 goes live.

playing the AH is part of the game, and addons for it are no different than addons for raiding.

If you want to mythic raid you NEED addons.  Can you get lucky and go without?  i suppose, but thats' the exception to the rule.  

Just because its not the way YOU play, doesnt mean its not being played.

Dude that thing is worth.


Are you kidding me?

Popping open an AH in the middle of nowhere is the greatest thing ever.

This is the greatest mount in the game imo.

I know its worth it! I bought one!, im just saying the new gold sink mount for 524,288 Gold is chump change compared to the 5 million for Bruto lol!

not all gold farmers just snipe and resell stuff or stay locked in the ah all day i farm up 99% of everything i sell myself  and i made 5xs the amount of gold you say you have to live in the ah to get in my first expansion playing and never stayed in the ah over 15-20 mins at a time.

 but you are right about the addons  they are very helpful to gold farmers. you have just as much access to them as you do for your  dbm, bigwigs  if you chose not to use them thats your choice

I disagree with this completely. I bought this mount exclusively with gold made at the start of the expansion, through professions only (mostly Inscription). I paused my leveling specifically to herb and craft whatever I could to make sure I made enough money while the time was right. Surely professions are part of the gameplay of WoW?

Anyone can get 5 million gold, there is no skill barrier to it, it is simply proper planning and patience. Gold is also something that can be earned absolutely anywhere in the game. You can literally do almost any activity in the game and make some gold that contributes to your goal. Farming every old raid for transmog each week doesn't take too long at 120, but you will gain gold while doing it. Sure, you only get 25-50k, but you are now 25-50k closer to that 5 million without having actually farmed gold specifically. Are you clearing a current raid and just had a BoE drop for you? Depending on the drop, that's an extra 100k+ towards your mount.

Another viable way to increase your gold stash is to sell boosts to other players. This can be done in pretty much any type of group activity in WoW.

      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.
