Weird stuff dropping in Pit of Saron

[Blazai]

This has been going on for 1-2 days, and people are experiencing very strange things happen in Pit of Saron Heroic/Normal mode. Thought I'd share what's going on with you guys because this could result in gfd NPCs dropping gfd items.

Test this yourself, it isn't a rare occurrence, but it could take a few tries to get it to work. My suggestion would be to run around for a few minutes, and if there is nothing out of the ordinary, reset dungeon and try again. Looking forward to your results.

Time to try making naxx 40 bosses spawn

Just thought i'd comment as on wowhead balnazzar doesn't drop the tome found in the bags anymore on the first imgur whereas on vanilla twinhead it did drop so definetly these can drop gf'd gear

That's why u don't let new hire work on live stuff.

GFd opportunity?

GFd opportunity?

seems like it, just not sure if low levels can get into pit of saron

 

[Imnotabelf]

I think 70 is the min. level requirement.

What kinds of items are potentially dropping?

What's the name of that level 39 twink Trinket that has a stun effect which was GFd in cata...... @Sun or anyone else...

Mobs was in Hillsbrad or Arathi Highlands I forget.

Maybe it drops again?

Tidal charm?

Anyone having luck?

Very cool. Make sure to post results. As it doesn’t seem to benefit 19s I likely won’t try it just yet. I did pick up a level 19 jeweled dagger though... 5 stam 3 agi.. not great but still cool. Potentially lots of gfd opportunities

 

[ohti]

maybe this was a bug? I entered the pit and there's no balnazzars anywhere

Got a chat bug with all the slaves yelling stuff
either a blank yell or

"All of nature's might is at my disposal, puny mortals. Let us see which of my many forms it will be that ends your suffering!"

They yell it alot.


Edit:
Here's how it looked at all times

its the prince naz in arathi to get tidal charm, but i guess the real question is if you go on a 39 would that scale the mob to the correct level to drop tidal charm. i wouldnt be suprised ,cause right now blizzard has a break in the whole code that they are working on. They are keeping some of it low key but right now there could be all kinds of things going on unintentional. its why you dont do major changes with a broad brush like they did. kinda took the lazy approach.

 

[Tom Ganks]

someone run it 1000 times and lemme know if the old corrupted ashbringer drops. Thanks

 

[Stale]

I'm getting Spectral Horses and Riders sometimes, nothing else.

it seems to pick some level-appropiate undeads from a table. So lower levels (I was trying on a 100) might have better luck? I don't know

 

[Zemmix]

Well, that's amusing.

I'm hoping some Naxx 40 mobs pop up in game somewhere.

 

[Captain]

If I’m not mistaken Tidal Charm has a 8 hour respawns time off the rare prince nazrak or something. I’ve been trying to farm it on my Druid in northdale.

Are spawns dependent on character level?
