wow Doomwalker 17th Anniversary World Boss Daily Loot Lockout Confirmed

[Starym 3,787]

 

Update: The toy and mount are now 100% drops off Doomwalker! You can read the official announcement here.

_________________________________________________

We now have several sources stating that the new 17th anniversary World Boss, Doomwalker, is indeed on a daily loot lockout, so you and all your level 30+ alts have plenty of chances to get all of his loot until the event ends on December 6th! Here's all the pertinent data we know:

• Doomwalker drops the Illidari Doomhawk mount (low drop chance, perhaps even 1%), Akama's Edge Axe/transmog (reportedly only available as a drop for axe-wielding classes), and the Doomwalker Trophy Stand toy, as well as an assortment of armor and weapons.
• He has a daily loot lockout.
• Any character above level 30 can get loot from him (the ilevels on the weapons and armor scale up to 226).
• The loot is personal and cannot be traded.
• You do not need the World Boss quest Doomwalkin' Has Come Knockin' to get loot.
• He is most likely coming back in the next years' events as well.
• He is right in front of the Caverns of Time - easily accessed via the portal room in the faction capitals.

Great, so now the anniversary is going to be just like every other holiday with a mount drop. /sigh.

 

Blizz gotta get up those engagement metrics somehow I guess.

a low drop chance mount from a boss only available a couple weeks a year is emblematic of everything wrong with WoW.

Looks like the gear ilvl scales by your gear score (and maybe renown?). I got a 226 on one character and a 220 on another.

Or, attitudes like this are just sour grapes. They have multiple sources for cosmetics to please different types of players, which is something the devs have done well imo, so you don’t speak for everyone.

What sources, Starym? In the US today is the weekly reset, so we wouldn't know if it's daily till Wednesday. Is it not the weekly reset day somewhere else?

People have been asserting this with undue confidence since the event started, but I would like real confirmation.

I just want to add that the drop rate for the Trophy Stand and the Mount is now 100%. Everyone in my group dropped them.

The Korean servers had their daily reset at the time of posting. Also, it's 100% drop now soooo 😄

All right, would have been good to lead with that 🙂 So, so many people were assuming without reason.

Also, the loot lockout still matters as far as the gear drops go!
