X-45 Heartbreaker Drop Chance - Blizzard Evaluating Solutions to Future Holiday Frustrations

Blizzard has released a blue post addressing frustrated complaints about the X-45 Heartbreaker mount from Crown Chemical Co. during Love is in the Air. They revealed that they are discussing solutions, but nothing will happen for this year's event. To those unfamiliar, X-45 Heartbreaker is the rarest drop-rate mount in WoW. It has a 0.03% chance to drop from Heart-Shaped Box, which is the reward for your first win against the Crown Chemichal Co. special dungeon available during Love is in the Air. Heart-Shaped Box is only the reward to characters at the max level of the previous expansion or higher, meaning only characters level 50 or above can receive it currently. Since it is available only during Love is in the Air, each character has only 15 attempts at it every year. Since there is a daily lockout per character, the only way to increase your odds is to have more characters at the right level and doing the dungeon with them every day.

Yep, this isn’t fun. I’ve done the event a dozen times a day on my characters before in previous years and probably would be doing it again this year if I didn’t have other real-life stuff going on. Right now, if you want to maximize your chance of getting the mount, it’s in your best interest to repeat this event every day on as many characters as possible. That’s… mathematically correct, but not a great experience. We hear this frustration and the good news is that we’re discussing this issue amongst the team and evaluating possible solutions for holiday events in general. The bad news is that even if we do end up making changes, they wouldn’t be in time for this year’s Love Is In the Air holiday event. Holiday Mount Drop Rates
