Dragonflight Hotfixes Jan 5th - Increased Rare Reagent Drops & LFR Terros Tweak

Expansion: World of Warcraft

There’s been some serious changes afoot, so glad to see that things appear to be settling down a touch with this set of hotfixes.

It appears that Terros’ “Rock Blast” ability was wiping one too many groups in LFR – so the damage has been tuned down a whopping 44%. Good luck to anyone out there still looking for tier pieces!

And a surprise, but a welcome one, with the rare reagent material change. While some of it is balancing things out so that normal mobs don’t give as much it’s likely that elite-mobs will be a much better way of farming these materials. The addition of Glowing Titan Orbs dropping from several other construct-type mobs will hopefully make things like high-level enchants come down in price a touch as their supply was a major limiting factor.

Feel free to check out the rest below and see a couple of bugfixes and odds and ends thrown in!
