TRANSMOG ALERT: Old world boss anniversary event underway

Unread post by Wain »

The 13th 14th anniversary event to kill old vanilla world bosses has begun, and runs until Nov 30. These bosses drop some gear with unique appearances which have been gone since Cataclysm, so get them while you can! More info on Wowhead: https://t.co/B62slQX2i4

In summary (thanks, Wowhead!):

- You can loot three bosses once a day. For level 110 120 players they drop gear of ilevel 900 350 (or higher).

- Players level 60 and up can loot them - they (and their loot) scale.

- Each day there are three bosses up. Two of these are up every day:

The third is one of the four old green dragon bosses that guarded the portals to the Dream. These will vary daily - either :


- A bunch of their loot has looks that are available from other sources in the game, but some of it is unique. Perculia (see the link to the Wowhead page) has marked items with unique looks with an asterisk, but I've also summarized it in a list at the end of this post.

- There's an associated daily quest, The Originals, and a breadcrumb quest given when you open your Anniversary Gift from the mail. The daily awards 50 Timewarped Badges and may be picked up from Historian Ju'pa in The Valley of Spirits, Orgrimmar or Historian Llore in Stormwind Library. If you did the anniversary daily quiz last year, you may remember the locations. The quest-givers offer that daily again this year, as well, so you can earn 75 badges a day from the two dailies.

- The quest-givers also sell some goggles for transmog: Bronze-tinted Sunglasses. They cost 200 badges, which happens to be how many badges are in your Anniversary Gift. You can save the badges on your main and just buy the glasses on an alt. The quest-givers also sell some consumables that give you temporary disguises/costumes. I won't list them all.

Summary of the loot with unique transmog appearances

The bosses drop plenty more loot than what is listed below, but the following are supposed to have looks that have no other available source - at least according to the Wowhead page. Please let us know if you find any additions or corrections.

I’m unsure at this stage. If so, hopefully there are plenty of groups going!

Bless you for making a handy chart, this is so helpful!

I'm really pleased that I was able to get the staff and Typhoon so far. :D

Ty, ty for the summary! I just wanted to clarify that it's 50 badges for just the kill quest, so 75 badges per day.

The one listing I don't quite understand is Trance Stone - an off-hand. Looking at the Wowhead page there's like, a dozen other items that are easily obtainable with the same appearance, not sure why it's marked as unique. :?:

Thanks. :) I’ll take a look. I just grabbed what was already marked and maybe that one was wrong.

Perculia tweeted earlier that some of the green dragon loot table is wrong so I’ll update it when I find out more.

It seems to have been a mistake. It's already been corrected on Wowhead so I removed it. Thanks :)

Updated the loot table. Wowhead now says that all the green dragon loot is shared.

Wowhead also reports that Acid Inscribed Greaves can drop from the green dragons.

Wowhead has also changed the source of Acid Inscribed Pauldrons to be Azuregos instead of the green dragons. I could have sworn I got them from Ysondre though, so I left them as loot from both bosses.

Oh boy, I have a lot more work to do then. :lol: That makes sense though, it seemed odd to restrict some of the pieces on a cycling schedule while the other bosses were available every day.

I must have just got lucky this morning when my first kill of Lethon gave me the Gauntlets of the Shining Light (which was originally listed under him).

I still really want the mail boots and the crossbow though, hopefully one of my hunters gets lucky. >>;

EDIT: Got the crossbow! Fingers crossed for those boots now, I've always liked that feathery set and I'd really love to have matching boots for it!

I was having trouble getting the bonus roll to pop on Lethon yesterday, and a lot of people were reporting the same issue. It sometimes took as many as 5 kills before the bonus window appeared, but it eventually happened. I'm unsure if the problem is a new one with all green dragon bosses but hopefully not.

I definitely ran into that problem yesterday with Lethon. It didn't concern me too much since we know the dragons all share a loot table now, and I'll just use my seal on one of the more reliable ones. :lol: It won't make a difference in the long run.

That fight is insane! Fun we're experiencing these old bosses, though.
