Warning! Grandfathering coming to the 29 bracket soon™!

Scarlet Monastery is being completely revamped in Mists of Pandaria. For those that don’t know, the earliest epic available, Dead Man’s Hand, will be removed from the game. Additionally, Blizzard will be upping the level requirement of the Maraudon quest. This quest rewards BIS items for all classes: Leggings of the Verdant Oasis, Zaetar’s Gloves, Shield of Maraudon, and Sandals of Glorious Life.


There is still time to get these items! Dead Man’s Hand, looted from Arcanist Doan of the Library wing has had its drop rate increased. I have had five drop just in the last week. The Maraudon quest can be completed at level 28, but it requires a higher level to assist. It is an auto-accept quest that comes from dropping down the waterfall before Princess Theradras’ portion of Mara.

You might be thinking it isn’t worth it to invest time in a bracket you don’t play. But consider this: grandfathered twinks can be sold for big money. A 29 Rogue recently went for $1400, a Shaman and Priest have gone for $500 each.

If selling isn’t your cup of tea, the bracket itself has plenty to offer. US 29s play Sunday and Tuesday nights from 9PM ET until 1AM, and often later. Simultaneous games occur often. Almost everyone who plays joins us in vent. We have dedicated FCs, healers, target callers. I’m not lying when I say 29s are consistently the most competitive BG scene outside 70 and 85 RBGs.

If you need help or advice, don’t hesitate to speak up on TI or the Battleground Forums. Several people make their real-id accessible for helping with runs. There are even a few guilds offering full funding. But time is running out. Act now or miss out forever.
 
Isn't 29 already the most grandfathered bracket in existence? This sounds like just a step closer to killing the whole 29 scene.
 
Try and not be a negative Nancy please. While you intend to or not it could be a bad light you are portraying the bracket as.

Tossed out like a

Nonetheless, the new items that will drop in Scarlet Monastery and the quests will have possibly better rewards than you currently have on your twink.

So get the ring now and the rest later = double win.

On another note, in the past Blizzard has downleveled gear that dropped in old dungeons to match the new level, now, even though SM is getting a new loot table. Old items such as Ravager, Herod's gear and others might have a LOWER level requirement after the patch. Just to be safe you should get some items out of Armory etc on your 29.



Grandfathering also coming for the other levels 30-44. Why is there no warning for that? ESPECIALLY the Scholomance sets which will be removed, Headmaster's Charge, Alenna's Embrace and Relics are all great items in 40-44.

Biggest change will be no more relics for 40's-44's.

I can also confirm that a rogue went for 1400 bucks..
I' dont know the guy, but i remember the post on TI, with some rich dude buying lots of 29s.
 
so no one knows if there will be some stat changes on the sm drops? bc farming the ring is hard work and if there weren't some changes i'd rather do something else than farming xD
 
There won't be stat changes. The items are just getting removed.

How many runs are you at? I've done over 150 for my 10 new 29s.
