News 8.1.5 Patch Notes...classic-MOP items from rares can upgrade now!

[Klicka]

I agree with what someone else already said in this thread. The item upgrades will probably be like holiday event gear, those pieces are epic but pretty worthless. So my prediction is that this new update will make it so that the items just have a chance to upgrade to a new colour + ilvl.

If that isn't the case and these upgrades will have a huge difference, such as adding a lot of agility to a lvl 19 piece of gear for example, it's just retarded. And it would feel like Blizzard did it just to mess with twinks because in what other way is this relevant. Maybe to keep new players that are leveling interested, when they see their piece of gear upgrade to a purple coulur. Dunno.

MOP quests

I spent a pretty decent chunk of time on the PTR farming the zone rares for their epic drops (cuz they're 128 at 89 now), not a single rare item they always drop upgraded to epic... so either it's reaaaally low or it was never active on the PTR.

I know you're talking about quests, just speaking out loud on the topic.

suddenly there are so much changes in the ilvl in all other brackets .. can it be because the 120 endgamer had new ilvl coming out and blizz cant fine tune the lower lvl for balancing wpvp and just simply up the ilvl for every lower lvl ?

gonna have a lot of grinding to do now

Ilvl changes are probably just because they didn't have time to fine tune the squish, they are looping back to it now. First pass was quick and dirty

WoW pay2win confirmed. If you go horde->alliance (fail on quest) -> then horde again, will the quest be reset?

all my effort for 14 anniversary gone to waste .. warforged item from 14th are just ilvl119 for my lvl89s

Could see two solutions to this problem:

1. Reset quests, allowing us to try our luck without having to reroll a new toon
2. Retroactive RNG upgrades like that the quest gear obtained in the past has a chance to increase in ilvl upon log-in.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the post said something about rare drops as well, so maybe boe epics?

Decided to test this on my 39 warrior as I hate questing and never turn anything in. Turning in the quest 'Challenge Overlord Mok'Morokk' which rewards me a Duskwallow Impaler gave me the following results. Out of eleven turn ins I only achieved one upgrade from blue to epic. Please see spoiler for comparisons. Upgraded epics from blue will scale from ilvl 45 to 51.

I was just farming cudgel of naralex on my 59 since he was already parked there and i did about 18 runs and got it upgraded only two times but no epic.

Thank god I was lazy enough to not finish ALL quest zones for my 10 with the new zone-scaling in BFA.

We've been seeing a +6 ilvl diff between blue to epic in other brackets too.
