Blizzard is killing the ultimate trick to quickly unlock level 616 items in the weekly crate

earthpressnews

With the current ID change in World of Warcraft, Blizzard is implementing a change that means you will no longer be able to unlock powerful pieces of equipment for the weekly crate in a very short time.

What kind of trick is this? MyMMO demon Cortyn had already revealed to you some time ago how you can unlock three items with an item level of 616 for the weekly box in just 30 minutes.

To do this, you simply have to visit the deep final boss Zekvir, who is now noticeably weakened, eight times, which should take around three to five minutes per run. With its “?” difficulty, it meets the requirements for unlocking item level 616 loot in the treasury.

What change is Blizzard delivering? With the hotfixes for the upcoming ID change on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, the WoW developers are implementing the following changes, among others (via forums.blizzard.com):

  • Visiting Zekvir’s Cave no longer affects progress for the Grand Treasury.
  • Also fixes an issue that caused Special Assignment World Quests to provide additional progress for the Grand Treasury.

    • The developers want to specifically eliminate the incentive to farm Zekvir for treasury rewards. The second change also fixes a bug that could unintentionally result in additional treasury progress.

    How is the community reacting to the change? The hotfix is ​​already being hotly discussed on Reddit.

  • Odd-Stranger3671 writes (via Reddit): “Not once have I used Zekvir as a farm. Call me a beginner, but this is too difficult, not content for a normal casual player.”
  • Cakalacky complains (via Reddit): “I don’t do raids, I’ve only mastered Normal, but I’m really enjoying the 616 item level gear from the treasury, I’m currently at item level 611. Aside from the achievements, leveling up Brann and this arbitrary Season 1 progression that seems meaningless, I have no motivation to actually go into the depths.”
  • Crepuscertine says on Reddit: “I figured it would happen at some point. Nice while it lasted, I guess. The trade-off for Zekvir runs was that you can’t get the increased rewards of normal depths or bountifuls, but with the benefit of fast runs to get your vault slots.”

    • If you would like to quickly farm Zekvir today so that you can easily unlock equipment with item level 616 one last time, we have something for you, namely a guide: This is how you defeat Zekvir, the nasty boss of the depths
