Official Epic Upgrade Bragging Thread (Warning: Jealousy/Salt)

This baffles me. Juno's Shadow is the only Stratholme BoE that shows on Blizzard's site as "chance to be epic", but I can't reconcile this with everything else players have found so far about what can potentially go epic. Other BoEs in other dungeons have a single source of trash mobs and Blizzard's site says those BoEs won't go epic.
Yea, this is fucking wild.

I'm woefully stupid about higher end content... are there any single source trash mob drops from, say, BC dungeons we could check on?
 
"Interesting" is an understatement... this is the only example I've seen of a dungeon "drop" upgrading (thank goodness we have Blizzard's site to verify this sort of thing). :eek:
I'd presume that it still only drops from a single (trash) NPC, it's just the AoE-looting that makes it seem otherwise.
Very cool!
When I saw the item upgrade of a trash pull, I was like "wooooaahhh, has this happened yet?" I didn't know that Blizz Armory had listed items as (chance to be epic). I went to Wowhead and they have an older version listed there ((edit - I went to wow.Classicwowhead by accident)). Anyway, this dropped of trash in Stratholme in the Archivist Galford hallway.

Crazy thought, but is the "chance to be epic" based on actual drops, and we have yet to discover other upgrades?

I feel like it's some kind of lazy code they applied to all single boss drop items. I was researching farmable 2handed axes and excited to see some options were able to become epic. But even though the adventure guide says it could be upgraded the axes could no longer be obtained because the mobs were removed. I'll edit with which axe i was looking at when I get home.

Edit: er I mean single source drops

I doubt it. Especially since there are some items that seem to not drop at all, yet have the "chance to be epic" label. I'm guessing its looking at the actual item database rather than what might have actually dropped.
 
Decided to take a little break from farming Slicer blade and got this in 15 mins..

WESTFALL LOVES ME! :D

Yar, have a feeling ill either reroll after all alli quest are done or farm the boes. my hunter got 6 glove upgrades to epic, 4 with no stats
It sucks man, but the way I look at it the upgrades are so minimal, and if you're good enough of a player it really doesnt matter. I've rolled 5 level 20's so far, 1 of them got 1 epic upgrade, and 3 of them got 0, and my rogue got 2 useful epics and 1 waste. Rng is a fucking nightmare.
 
Is this the best scaling robe? Or have I been farming the wrong one?

For level 20? I would recommend this chest piece especially for priest. However that chest is also amazing too for max int. The vers on the one I linked is drool worthy tho
