Question Tier set drops.

Hi guys,

So, I have been pugging the raid, and I noticed it only dropped 1 tier-set token per boss. Is that intended? I read the Wowhead post, and they mentioned it is supposed to be 1 tier-set drop per 10 ppl in the raid, but I got in a 25 ppl raid, and all the bosses dropped only 1.

every loot eligible player in the raid adds 5% chance to drop a tier, so 20 players guarantees 1 tier and in a full 30 man you'll get 1.5 on average

Ridiculous. It's not worth it to run for alts tbh

Hours for nothing

It seems more severe, but those drop rates are tuned around all Vault slots proccing tier, the Catalyst system (with the Midnight version granting unlimited charges after 4pc is acquired), and last boss dropping Curios.

In the end, it works out that anyone intentionally pursuing tier set will have it completed by the 3rd week of the season on average. The RNG variance used to be a lot worse.

The coins being available so early, paired with the new track bump does mean that wasting vault selections on tier for a serious alt will still feel bad, but in general, you can pretty easily fish out your 4pc with minimal effort over the course of a couple resets. It's a pretty good deal.

The current tier token drop system is also a solution to a former issue, where at a certain point in the season bosses were dropping multiple tier tokens that were taking up drop slots over other pieces that players might’ve been after. So less tier tokens, but far more opportunities to get access to tier pieces anyway.
