Disenchant exploit!!! Huge potential!

[sueno]

I've dissenchanted alot of blue items and never seen 2+ shards drop, can anyone confirm it drops 2+?

So, there is huge difference if you have Enchanting or use Enchanting Garrison building for DE stuff. Since Garrisons, Disenchant, performed by Enchanter do grant 1.5x-3x more mats from the same items, than the building feature. So if tested by enchanter should lead to better result

Unless your on a dead server this is a waste of gold... Its a loss

[chronux]

"huge potential"... seriously? If you can find a realm where this is profitable let me know, because I don't believe there will ever be any.

Kinda hate to pile on, but a couple additions.

1) The tabard costs 80g at exalted with the faction discount.

2) I've been a 700 enchanter since the first week of the expansion and disenchanted hundreds of blues, but I've never seen a) more than 1 luminous shard per disenchant b) a temporal crystal fragment. Wowhead has similar results with a larger sample size: no blue regardless of ilvl is providing multiple shards or temporal crystal fragments. Is it possible? It's too early in the expansion for WoWhead to be gospel and anecdotal evidence will be anecdotal evidence, but it's safe to say that, if possible, the chance is so absurdly low that there's no point factoring it into profit calculations.

3) Using US median prices from Underminejournal of 5.81g per dust, 90.41g per shard, WoWhead shard chance of 25%, ignoring small luminous shard chance, and an average of 10 dust on 75% of disenchants: you will lose 13.82g per disenchant. This is a best case scenario with median prices as it assumes a 5-12 dust disenchant table, rather than the 5-9 that a lot of ilvl 600 items have.

There's a few realms with Luminous Shards going for 200g+ and others with Draenic Dust going for 14g each, so I guess maybe somebody can make some money off of it. Technically an exploit I guess since they probably don't want to offer such a low price for a theoretically infinite supply of dust and shards, but a really unimpressive exploit at that.

The thing is you can disenchant your ilvl 600 tabard which can be bought with 100g! Now it`s your choice if you sell them for low price or wait until the price raises.
The other tabards can`t be disenchanted like the one from ashran.
An exploit is an exploit, even if is minor or major!

This isn't an exploit because

A) The shards can be bought on the ah for 70g making your claim of infinite shards moot because I can get tons of people to sell hundreds of shards for a lot less effort than losing money d/e blues that cost 80-100g
B)If the price starts to get past 120g people can just use this "exploit" so the price evens out to a max price anyway.

You clearly understand what an exploit is. This IS an exploit because

A) Its unintended
B) No other criteria exist

I can use a mouse speed program to make my character spin 200000mph, just because I can do something mildly interesting the devs didn't intend doesn't make it an exploit, exploits give advantages, this is actually a disadvantage.

[Ghostfang]

just because it isn't useful doesn't mean it's not an exploit.... an exploit isn't an intended thing this is not intended... DEing tabards lol what.
