does it make sense? i duno wtf are you guys doing for real...
The timewalking vendors offer 350 item level blues (see Cupri in Shattrath), and one can do the Chromie scenario in Dalaran to get enough timewalking badges to slightly gear an alt. I don't see why these BOAs aren't higher item level, too, especially since dubloon drop rates have been nerfed.
I save timewalking currency to buy gear for max-level alts, to get their itemlvls up. I would never waste it on leveling gear. I get your point though, why wouldn't islands reward gear of the same quality as timewalking?
This is a good idea, but the ilvl is just way too low. Maybe if they were 5 dubloons apiece or 20 got you a whole set. The income of dubloons while leveling is generally low as you don't have the war campaign trait nor doing anything more than Normal.
I still hate island expeditions. It’s one of those things where I log on and I’m like “ok today’s the day, gonna grind some out” and after 2 I’m just bored or irritated. I definitely need to get the mounts before BFA ends, though.
20 dubloons for a green-quality piece of gear? Hah!
Are these actually leveling pieces or are they supposed to be from the Transmog Island Expedition sets, because that would explain the price and I haven't seen anyone else comment about that thought.
The drop rate for dubloons is so low, most of time I get none. Sometimes I get 2, once in awhile I will get 8 or 9. So I probably wont be buying the gear with them.
No one cares because they nerfed getting dubloons reasonably into oblivion. You'll be 120 before you can afford 1 piece.
Someone actually cried/whinned they did not get gear loot by doing islands while lvling for real ?
This is a complete fail; the fact that you can get better gear in Normal dungeons that are almost faster then expeditions is just stupid in comparison ... you could of just went from 110-115 for faster %% and be done with it ... this ain't worth looking at ...
Why is that surprising, you try playing the game at level 119 and average itemlvl 210.
we want boa COINS, not that $%^& gear..............
Sure, if you have the money to do that, meaning you borderline exploited garrison and order hall gold missions for years. Or if you spend real money and sell WoW tokens. Remember the alternative is leveling through quests, which gives leveling gear so you don't fall behind where you should be for your level. This is critically important because NPCs scale.
This is a brilliant addition
Good thing I have over 1,000 dubloons on my main, since I had to farm for the edge with higher AP going into BoD. Seems silly if these don't have unique models as then they would be useless as a fresh 120 would have better gear than this. Even my old 110 paladin has a 265 Mythic Argus Scythe that he wore during the pre-patch.
282 is too low.
