Quick question (we're not in AQ yet): how do the drop rates of the BoP components of the set items compare to the drop rates of the BoE tokens? Can we safely assume that the BoP parts will be the limiting factor?

I'd like to just bank all our BoE tokens, RP the boss drops, and give people the necessary items to complete their turnins as soon as they loot the BoP. Just wondering whether this will run into trouble (understanding that the first few people might have to wait a little bit).

100% drops, two per boss that drops them. It's just like Broodlord dropping 2 boots and Chromaggus dropping 2 shoulders or whatever.

When you kill Huhuran you will get two BoP pieces, one for each set of 4 classes. When you kill the Emps you get 2 tokens for helms. Etc.

Hmm, ok. That's good to know, but doesn't answer the question of whether you tend to get enough BoE drops to easily keep up with the BoP items you're getting.

I highly doubt that to be the case, in practice. That would make sense and Blizzard cannot allow such things...

We haven't had a problem providing every member who got their BoP piece, the BoE stuff inside of a day.

As I would presume you know, there is a large amount of greater scarab coffers past the twin emps, and you get alot coffer key's.

Its really easy to supply the people who need, and then bank the rest, a la ZG.

You shouldn't have any problem providing BoE pieces assuming you've got decent relationships with other guilds on the server.

Does BoE have any other use besides set quests ?

Just bad luck with those particular idols. That and we suspect a few corpses are going unlooted. But the latter should change now that most of us have our bug mounts and loot rules will get put back on FFA.

Yeah, we have 30+ by now I think, and we have never seen a single Idol of Life, period. I had to borrow/trade for the two Life idols I used to make my shoulders. Annoying.
