Blizzard are preparing to deploy a hotfix that will increase ilvl of all raid drops from all difficulties of the Blackrock Foundry raid.
When will this occur
17 Mars US
18 Mars EU
Blackrock Foundry
Raid | Ilvl before | Ilvl after hotfix |
Raid Finder | 650 | 655 |
Normal | 665 | 670 |
Heroic | 680 | 685 |
Mythic | 695 | 700 |
Apexis Vendor
Increase item lvl with 5
670 to 675 instead
Highest ilvl on crafting
Increase item lvl with 5
680 to 685 instead
This is the reason:
“The main purpose of this change is to ensure that killing new bosses in the Blackrock Foundry raid feels appropriately rewarding. We are finding that groups coming out of a couple of months in Highmaul could often have an average item level that was just barely shy of the loot dropped by the appropriate difficulty in Foundry. A core part of the experience of progressing through a new raid tier lies in the sense that even if you didn't manage to kill a particular boss this week, the upgrades your raid group gathered along the way will make things smoother and improve your chances the following week.”
