Yes, yes, I know, I start big.
When a whole bunch of things have been overhauled, I bring my now-68 mage into Orgrimmar, clear my inventory up a bit, and head into Ragefire Chasm to see the “blue loot” the bosses drop for my very own. (and maybe get some equipment for my new lvl 12 Paladin)
My Experience - Overview
- Every mob dropped more than 40c each
- The first green drop was within the first few mobs of the instance door on multiple runs and was lvl 9-10
- All of the Vendor Trash that dropped was worth over 60c each, and there was more Trash
- The equipment seemed higher level, but hard to tell - I seem to remember Mystic Belt only dropping in Wailing Caverns before, but it dropped here for sure.
- Some equipment now has +to damage, healing, crit, etc much like the Outlands gear, instead of just having +stats
- The blues that drop are of the same name the boss drops used to be, just they’ve been upgraded in quality so they now qualify as “Blue”. Very nice stuff for the low-teens level.
Patch 2.3 Increases Amount of Trash Dropped In Dungeons
I ran through the dungeon twice because it’s fast, and the first time through I did the “standard inventory clear” at the bank before heading in. “Standard” in this case was backed up by the past few weeks of doing RFC AOE runs for equipment, cash, linen and all that jazz for my new pack of healer lowbies, but “standard” turned out to be wrong…
The first run through, I wasn’ even to Hungerer when my inventory filled up. For the second run I cleared out all but absolute bare essentials in my backpack (and what’s that small thing, 12 slots?? 14?) and at the end of the instance, I was packed absolutely full. Patch 2.3 has certainly increased the amount of trash dropped in this dungeon, and I’d assume that goes for all the old-world Azeroth and Eastern Kingdoms instances.
Loot Tally, Cash Tally
The first time through I ended up with more Greens (15) than the second time through (8), but both times, both Jergosh the Invoker and Tag the Hungerer dropped blue gear, and both times I came out with about 1g50s of profits from corpse loots, vendor trash, and white equipment trash. (this is vs the 65c I was getting pre-patch 2.3)

(hey cool, this was a partial test to see if whatever my wordpress Addon uses for doing the WoW Item link needed to be updated or not - nope! yay!)
