BoE Trash Drops Aberrus Will be BoP on Mythic Difficulty
Similar to Vault of the Incarnates, epic gear dropping from non-boss trash mobs in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible will be Bind-on-Pickup on Mythic difficulty, at least for the first few weeks of the raid. This continues Blizzard's intent of limiting the ability to repeatedly farm and endlessly purchase max item level BoE's at the start of the new season.
For example, this still unnamed 10.1 Raid — Black Dragon Labs — BoE, MYTHIC BoP — Armor — Mail — CHEST 2 piece is noted to be BoP on Mythic difficulty. After a period of time, around six weeks in Season 1, items such as these should start dropping as Bind-on-Equip again — able to be bought and sold on the auction house at will.
Although Blizzard has yet to make any specific statements regarding loot in the upcoming raid, we can refer back to their reasoning from shortly before the launch of Vault of the Incarnates last December.
When the Vault of the Incarnates raid opens next week, enemies inside will occasionally drop Bind-on-Equip loot, as in previous raids. For early Season 1 play, we’re putting a restriction on BoEs that drop in Mythic difficulty.For the first few weeks of Dragonflight Season 1, items that would have been Bind-on-Equip in lower difficulties will drop as Bind-on-Pickup items in Mythic difficulty.One of our goals with rewards has always been to primarily make the best loot in the game come through gameplay, rather than spending gold. Bind-on-Equip items from raids have long been exceptions to that, but they provide something unique to raiders: when raid groups don’t need the BoEs for progression anymore, they can be sold to fund consumables and repairs.
