However, at Tier 5, you will often see 3-4 Perplexing Rune-Cubes or Tattered Fae Designs drop, granting 150 research each!

They drop different amounts of relics, depending on your tier with the Archivist's Codex. The big elites named Famished Darkness have a really good drop rate and are easy to farm. Rextroy's back with an insanely good Archivist's Codex reputation farming method (up to 10K per hour)!īlizzard has buffed mobs found inside the rift in Korthia to grant Relic Fragment. *Disclaimer: the Raider.io article was written by me, Starym. You can read the full interview over at Raider.IO. We suspected the mechanic to be working just as it's described in this article. On some bosses, however, the impact of a bleed-removal is tangible, so the Dwarf racial was just “another reason” for this transfer rather than the root cause.Īnd as for the recent "change" you've seen on Wowhead - it's not actually new, been ingame for plenty of time and not something that actually surprises us. For example, having a racial that removes bleeds on Sire Denathrius is almost completely useless. Regarding the “main concern” for bleeds, it’s not even as major as some people have been describing it. On top of all of that, there is currently a 30% faction-change discount available through Blizzard, so swapping to Alliance seemed like the best move for us overall. Swapping to Alliance for Castle Nathria will yield additional XP through the boosted War-mode rewards (for being on the less populated faction), some more optimal raiding racials (even aside from the dwarf racial, Stoneform), and also just the fact that it would be nice to do something different than what we’ve been doing for almost 10 years as a Horde guild. I’d say that the decision goes way beyond that. I’ve been really surprised that almost every popular WoW-related media made a news post about it, and surprisingly people in comments have been suspecting that the prevalence of bleeds in Castle Nathria was the one and only concern. Was it really only due to the various bleed mechanics in Castle Nathria or did you have other reasons as well?Īlveona: We’ve been planning this move for quite a while and were mostly just concerned about some logistical issues tied to this. Starym: You’ve recently transferred most of your guild’s characters from Horde to Alliance.
