What's the best way to get Lesser Charms of Fortune?
What's the best way to get Lesser Charms of Fortune every week? Although Blizzard recently reduced the amount of Lesser Charms of Fortune players need each week (by lowering the requirement for the weekly quest Mogu Coins of Fate from 90 charms to 50 charms) we've still got to get them somewhere. So what's the best way? Prior to patch 5.3, it seemed like everyone was swearing by pet battles. Players were claiming they'd earned hundreds to thousands of Lesser Charms just killing critters in Stormwind. A hotfix eventually nerfed the drop chance for Lesser Charms in lower level pet battles, but higher level pet battles are still rewarding charms to anyone who wants to put in the time. Is it still worth it? Patch 5.3 has also added a couple of changes to Lesser Charm collection to really mix up the equation. Level 90 creatures that are outdoors in the world now have a chance to drop Lesser Charms of Fortune, while rare spawns in Pandaria and bosses in Battlefield: Barrens are guaranteed to always drop the charms. The result of this? Hordes of players in Northern Barrens farming Lesser Charms off the new Kor'kron mobs there.
Patch 5.2 hotfixes for April 22
Some hotfixes went live today after the server restart. The big one that has my guildmates jumping up and down with glee is the change to the cost of Mogu Runes of Fate - they now cost 50 Lesser Charms of Good Fortune, down from 90 previously. Now, I do lots of dailies, so I couldn't get rid of my Lesser Charms fast enough even before the price nerf, but this is a great quality of life change that will give people more Runes of Fate to spend on chances for gear. In addition, players picked from different realms will now be able to get loot and bonus rolls off of Oondasta and Nalak, and there are some minor nerfs to the Twin Consorts fight in Throne of Thunder. The Sinister Primal Diamond has also had some tweaks to its activation rate, particularly for fire mages. The full blue text is below the cut.
Breakfast Topic: Little changes you want in Patch 5.1
I will admit, as much as I love new patches, I can't get too excited about the new content coming in patch 5.1. I'm not even halfway done with all the new Mists of Pandaria content. I have dailies to run, valor points to earn, raids to finish. How can I get on the patch 5.1 train yet? That said, I still love speculating on changes. Right now, however, I'm not focused on the big stuff, like massive balance changes and new content. I'm thinking of the little tweaks they could make that would really help me out. I think the biggest things for me revolve around bag space. I'd love to see Lesser Charms of Good Fortune turn into currency so they didn't clutter up my bags so much. While you're at it, make Restored Artifacts into currency too. For that matter, give me a nice, simple, 24 or 26 slot bag recipe using Windwool Cloth so I'm not stuck saving up expensive mats and frantically grinding August Celestials rep on my tailor just for a chance at more bank space sometime before next year. What little changes, changes that don't really affect balance or add major swathes of new content, would you like to see in patch 5.1?
