Double chances for Reins of Blue drake/Crocolislk pets/Strand Crawler..etc.

[jiggly33]

Greetings,
I searched for this but couldn't find a mention of this.

As many of you know that when you server transfer, some of the open-able items change their content, however, this is not what I'm suggesting to do.

Every client patch applied by Blizzard also does the same thing, despite being major or minor, both works as long as there's a client change. Now what you have to do, is keep doing whatever you were doing before to get those low drop rate items, however, you keep at least 1 useless item in the bag so it doesn't despawn. When the patch is applied, you'll see that you will get a full content bag with different loot than before.

I've done this in patch 3.2 and 3.3. I did this with both meat crates for the "Stormchops recipe" and with the Crocsilks in the city treasure bags for the pets. And I had about 16 bags in the process between patch 3.2 and 3.3, and I managed to get all 4 pets in the same day with the refreshed content of those bags (and increased drop rate ofc).

Note that those items are NOT unique, and you can collect multiple ones and save them till patch day.

This means you can double your chances of getting:
- Blue Sack of Gems: Reins of Blue Drake / Triumph badges
- Bag of Fishing Treasures: Crocsilks pets/The 2 Ring ((TESTED!))
- Bag of Fishing Treasures(Northrend): Strand Crawler/Bone/Jeweled Fishing Pole ((TESTED))
- Small Spice Bag: Dalaran Cooking Award/TBC cooking recipes (( TESTED!))
- Cracked Egg: Green Proto-drake
- Alchemist Cache: Double Flasks/Lotus/Eternal Life

I'm myself saving 6 blue sacks of gems (who gives a rat's ass about rare quality gems anyway?). And A few cracked eggs.

I will transfere within a few days, i have now:

- Blue Sack of Gems (EDIT: Confirmed - No Drake )
- Bag of Fishing Treasures (Outland) (EDIT: Not sure cuz i forgot the Content)
- Bag of Fishing Treasures (Northrend) (EDIT: Forgot the content xD)
- Cracked Egg (EDIT: Confirmed - No Drake )

I will report back if this works, ofc its not recommended since it costs a lot of money just for an extra hit on the awesome mounts/pets. But the tip is good for faction/server changers.

Good to know.

if this indeed does work, it is pretty epic! I guess it'd be pretty hard for anyone to confirm tho?

[Silvera]

If you got a little bit of patience, this is not hard to test.
Regardless, this is a very good guide, in my opinion, or exploit, whichever.. A guide to exploit it. Or whatever Gonna try this out when I get my new acc up (Luaninja banwave ftl). +rep for this

First of all it's a repost. Wont' link or say anything else, since it's a long time since I've seen it.
Second: For the people that now thinks "I will haz mountz or petz after next patch omglolol", the bag resets, and don't give you anything better. The OP had 16 bags, and it's a good chance to get something in them.

Thanks for guide pretty well written

[thecoruptserver]

ya tbh 16 bags = high chance of getting one
filler

Errr, you check the bags first. He's not just taking 16 bags and holding them without knowing what's inside. That's why it says double chances. Check bag, no pet? Hold on to bag with something still inside it til patch. After patch check bag again and it has new contents.

I can't confirm any of this, just explaining what the OP meant. The bag resets and you just get 1 extra low% chance at the drops.

It doesn't matter whether you leave money or an item inside, as long as you leave something inside, it will reset when a patch rolls around?

Yes, for example if you save the Blue Sack of Gems from OC.
You can take the 2 triumph badges and leave the 1/2 blue gems (which are much less valuable imo)
When the next patch is released you'll get 2 more triumph badges and another chance at getting the Reins of the Blue Drake.

Funny, becuase I've had a grey sac of gems for a long time (Years, I think) and I just checked it again. It has (still) 2 aquamarines inside, same as before, with nothing else.

[tidusslaanesh]

what about sacks/bag with gold inside?
i mean if u fill you whole bank with the bag from satharion.
you will get 5k gold per patch oO
