Potential 5.2 failbag exploit

[evlow]

This is nothing more than an untested theory, but In 5.2 they will be implementing the changes to bags

The change is still in for the failbags to ... not be fail. They'll have a chance to contain things like very valuable grey items (essentially randomizing the gold you get from the bags), LFR versions of non-boss loot, Spirit of Harmony, consumables, pets and mounts, and... maybe some other stuff I forgot. Lots of things! Opening them should have some anticipation and surprise now.

I am not sure but is it possible to bank your fail bags and open them all up for 5.2? I'm not 100% sure if loot is decided when you open the bag or when it drops, but it may be worth holding onto!

Great post! These are the posts that there should exist in the exploit section! Hints, clues.. theories!

Actually it doesn't belong here. It belongs in WoW General, this is only for exploits that have instructions.

I still think this belongs here. Not all exploiters look in general section and this can maybe be the start of something bigger, but only if we unite and help eachother out

You would still be wrong, but please feel free to continue the discussion in WoW General the thread has been moved.

No problem, wasn't sure the best place to put it, thanks for moving it...

hes right, this might work and if it does its insanely awesome to get the new pvp gear, i already had 10 "failbags" from sha, cus i dont need it and i was thinkin the same, will be awesome

I asked a GM few weeks ago conserning that and got answer that form old you will get only gold nothing else. At one point on main i had my main bank tab full + 3 other bags... Will look for screenshot if i still have it about response..,

This is the bag you get in Mogu'shan on live
This is the bag you get in 5.2

There's 5.2 bags for the other raids too. They all have the same name as on live but different IDs so current bags won't be rerolled when the patch comes out.

I know the answer to this: "No, you should go ahead and open the bag. Only new ones will benefit." / Ghostcrawler
Original question: "If I have 5.0 LFR loot bags in inventory, will waiting until 5.2 to open them give me a chance at extra stuff?"
