2008-Dec-4 - Ask a Beta Tester: Raids, rare mobs, and more raids
Seeing as there are now lots of 10man raids, does this mean the end of heroics? Are there still heroics in WotLK and do you have to run them to gear for the first 10man?
Agent StanSmith asked...
Will you be saved to a raid in the 10 man and not be able to do the 25 man that week? it seems like a 25 man geared toon could help the guild in the 10 if its a slow week or some of the raid members have a RL issue.
Read on for more answers to your questions!
I haven't seen any yet in Northrend, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're not there. It just means I haven't seen any. That's a real non-answer, I know, but it's all I've got. The Burning Crusade had quite a few rares, around 20 of them I believe, they were just hard to find. In all of my time playing BC, I think I've killed 7 of them, and a few of them multiple times. I remember my first time seeing Kraator and going, "Oh. My. God. WTF is that!? Holy crap it's huge! ...I must kill it!"
So far it looks like Naxx/Obsidian Sanctum, then Eye of Eternity/Ulduar (when Ulduar is implemented). Whatever is implemented later will naturally come after that.
We've had a lot of class-specific questions lately (especially Hunters) here on Ask a Beta Tester, but since I don't play every class, I can't answer all of those. However, I've forwarded some of them on to our motley crew of bloggers, so we'll hopefully be able to answer you soon. Until then, let's get started on some other things, shall we?
Is there going to a difference in the number of badges the same boss drops in the 10 man and the 25 man?
What is the WotLK raid ladder at the moment?
You probably don't need to do a whole lot of these to start 10 man raiding, but you should do some. For 25 man raiding, yes, you definitely want to be able to quickly and easily clear Heroics before trying your hand at a raid.
There are still Heroics, and they're pretty fun. Some of them have 'extras' to lure you in, too. Extra bosses, extra quests. There's loot, sure, but there are those other things to still lure you in even WoW Gold if you raid.
Robert M asked a pair of questions...
There isn't a difference in the number, no. However, there is a difference in the type of badge. The 10 and 25 man loot is tiered, and the 10 and 25 man badge loot is tiered in a similar way. The badge loot you can get from grinding 10-mans is not the same as grinding 25-mans.
The 10 WoW Gold and 25 man raids have separate raid IDs, so doing them both in one week won't be an issue.
Daniel asked...
As far as I've seen, it consumes the item. All WoW Gold of my pets were consumed when I learned them, and I just purchased a Ghostly Skull from the Dalaran sewers to test it out. It definitely consumed the item. Maybe there are WoW Gold specific pets that are bugged right now, and aren't being consumed? If that's the case, they'll be fixed if they haven't been already.
Are there going to be more rare mobs in Northrend? As a rare-hunter, I was kind of disappointed by the sparseness of rare mobs in the outlands, and I would really hope wrath returns to the variety available in the old world.
sphynx asked...
After learning to summon a mini-pet, do you lose the 'container'? From what I saw of the beta you can keep it, but does that mean I can, say, send my firefly to all my alts and sell it on the AH again after using it? That would be rather devastating for the rarity for a lot of pets...
