[Arpheton]

Yes. Epic bc gear is ilvl87

Okay, 3961 looted items later and the shield dropped so here are the updated numbers.

Total runs to get Shield with Socket + Speed was 3480. The stats below account for 1981 of those runs.

Total Single Upgrades: 707 items have upgraded with only Socket or a Tertiary stat, or 17.85%.
Total Double Upgrades: 51 items have upgraded with both Socket and a Tertiary stat, or 1.29%.

348 items upgraded with only Socket, or 8.79%.
109 items upgraded with only Leech, or 2.75%.
108 items upgraded with only Speed, or 2.73%.
84 items upgraded with only Avoidance, or 2.12%.
58 items upgraded with only Indestructible, or 1.46%.
19 items upgraded with both Socket and Leech, or 0.48%.
13 items upgraded with both Socket and Speed, or 0.33%.
12 item upgraded with both Socket and Avoidance, or 0.30%.
7 item upgraded with both Socket and Indestructible, or 0.18%.


edit: fixed error, accidently swapped the socket + indestructible and socket + speed stats

damn, 3480 runs, that's commitment.

Yep, and the shield is now sitting in my bank

Why?

 

[Conzil]

Why?

Cuz now I have ilvl 87 with speed proc instead. If you check my post about the runs it was march 2022, so now it’s useless

 

[RobHobbo]

I've spent an hour trying to find the answer to this.

Does DF rare mob drops have a chance to proc epic?

Disappointing lol. But thanks for the answer!

 

[Seclusioned]

I dont know if this is common knowledge or not. But Im on Illidan and out of 10 of these posted, This is the only one thats epic. Came off a rare in terrokar forest outlands. Grabbed it on an 11 twink

 

[orcgazmatron]

So, since the end of SL, trinkets & chests can no linger proc a socket?
Is this correct?

Can the NW rings proc with a socket and then use magnificent jeweler setting times 2 on it to have 3 sockets?
I know they can proc 3rd stat, I have one that proced leech

 

[Autofail]

Really good question! I'm curious about this too. The tooltip says "Jewelry can have up to 2 sockets" (not up to 2 "Magnificent Jeweler's Setting-sockets" but 2 "sockets"), so taking that statement at face value / literally would imply, that you would only be able to add 1 extra socket if the ring already had a socket-proc. But who knows? Anyone tested it?

 

[Hermi]

Yes, I've tested this. No 3 socket rings, but you can save yourself a setting if you get lucky.

 

[DoogieTwink]

I think the original posted list of info needs updating. I just farmed Helm of Anomolus from WotLK's The Nexus and it dropped with an additional socket.
