Headsup - Zandalari rappy drop nerf

Zandalari Dinomancers now have a much lower chance to drop the Zandalari Anklerender, Footslasher, Kneebiter, and Toenibbler.

Buy yours from the AH while they are still abundant and cheap. Supply is going to dwindle fast with this change.

I figured that was coming down the pipe.
I'm glad I got all four in P/P before this happened.

I went ahead and cleared my server of all P/P Breed Raptors before maintenance this morning :)

We'll see what they settle at after supply is ate up.

The only one of these I have was a gift from Doobjanka, so , hopefully, they won't be nerfing it too badly.

And thanks again, Doobjanka, for the pet. :-)

I logged on after maintenance and there were a dozen raptors for sale on both the ally and horde AH. Ranging from 300-1000g, I left them alone. A bit later while I was petzing I warned people in my ally guild of the nerf, someone went to the ally AH and there was ONE for sale for 1000g. I hopped horde side and there was still a dozen for sale for 500g so my first thought was $$$ so I bought like 4 complete sets. Then gave them all away ... oh well. Curious how bad the nerf really is. ~ K

Ahhh thank you! I only had one Toenibbler and he was not P/P, so I picked one up for 195g! I appreciate the tip!

Thanks for this heads up...
I picked up a set for a decent AH price.. specially if the drop rate will be as low as a gundrak dino

I got 2 s/s breeds, one p/p and a p/b
---------------
I noticed the hp of my p/b was around 1400 and that the speed of the s/s types was impressive at around 341

The rappys seem to have the same ability sets and I've read where some people see them as heavy hitters
maybe even 3 shot killers ... any advice out there as to which breed or which rappy to level?

^ Use P/P and one of the two that have Black Claw and Hunting Party.

As for gold, there are only 3 varieties of raptor left on my AH (B/B breed of three different raptors), all at the older low price of 200-300g. I posted a S/S breed yesterday for 1,000g and it sold over night. So looks like a really good investment to get the better breeds cheap :)

I Went on after server reset Tuesday and they were already cleared out or expired. I would've bought a few if I knew beforehand, but as of last night a few were back down to around 500 gold. I still need to get 2 hunter books, so I may just take my chance with RNG. I'm in no rush.

Cheers for the heads up!

I'm on multiple servers and they have all pretty much gone back up to the 7-800g+ mark (and then some). I did find some at 300-400g so I took them for myself (I hadn't started collecting them at all yet).

Has anyone tried farming them since the nerf? A couple of friends were at it for a few hours with no luck, but I wasn't with them so not sure how fast they were killing ... do know they were killing trolls. I have my four and my pet from the bones so don't see me returning anytime soon myself. ~ K

I've gotten 4 since Tuesday: I didn't keep careful count of the trolls, but it was in the neighborhood of 80-100.

I see the prices dropping again too. Was just a little blip.
