Blizzard FAQ on Tier Set Acquisition - Tier Set Tokens Revealed, New Trading Restrictions

Blizzard has posted a Q&A with some of the most popular questions regarding tier set acquisition including 4 Tier Set Tokens, Trading Restrictions, Great Vault Acquisition, Creation Catalyst and more!

Blizzard Good afternoon, friends! You all have had a lot of questions about how Tier Sets and the Catalyst work, and hopefully these answers clarify some of the questions you’ve raised over the past few days.Should we expect to see similar class groupings (i.e. Protector, Conqueror, Vanquisher) on tokens as we did in the past? We liked how the four groups of three classes played out, so we won’t be returning to Vanquisher/Conqueror/Protector.

The design intent here is that each token has a thematic link and a variety of folks who can use it. Our tokens for this tier are:Mystic — Druid/Hunter/Mage Venerated – Paladin/Priest/Shaman Zenith — Monk/Rogue/Warrior Dreadful – Demon Hunter/Death Knight/Warlock How many tier tokens will drop in a raid? A tier-dropping Mythic boss will drop 2 tier tokens for a Mythic raid containing 20 eligible players.

In the case of a scaling raid such as Normal or Heroic, 10 loot-eligible players would see 1 token drop, while 30 loot-eligible players would see 3 tokens.Are tier tokens tradable if I have equipped an item of the same (or higher) item level in that token slot? Are tier tokens tradable without restrictions? You need to have soulbound a Tier piece of equivalent or higher item level to be able to trade tier pieces. The same applies to tokens. How is the item level of a tier piece determined for the Great Vault? Completing one +15 dungeon gives us a 278 piece of loot in the vault, so does that mean tier would be 278 as well in this same slot in the Great Vault? Yes.
