The new Legendaries in World of Warcraft (WoW) might upset some players – but only for a short time. Those who are lucky now are actually unlucky!
Almost two and a half months have passed since the last update of World of Warcraft, and the developers are keeping their promise to regularly deliver fresh content. With patch 7.2.5, there are a few new content snippets, such as the scenario about the deaths of Chromie or the Timewalking in the Black Temple.
For many players, however, the numerous new legendary items may serve as an incentive to engage more in PvE and PvP content. In particular, the new rings that grant special talents may make the heart of one or another character race.
However, players should be cautious about farming Legendaries “too eagerly”. With the release of patch 7.2.5 on June 14, legendary items will still drop at item level 940. Only with the opening of the Tomb of Sargeras, a week later (on June 21 for “Normal” and “Heroic”), will the base item level of legendary items be increased. This also applies to the new rings!
So anyone who gets a Legendary in the week between June 14 and June 21 will have to upgrade it through a quest to item level 970 afterwards. Anyone who acquires an orange item later will receive it directly at the highest level.
Basically, this means: Anyone who is lucky immediately after the patch is actually unlucky. Completing the upgrade quest will likely take a week or two.
What else patch 7.2.5 will have to offer, we have detailed in this article.
