My PTR Experience with the Random Dungeon finder

[Svpernova09]

So, night before the patch should go live, I figured I'd check out the random dungeon tool.

So the trick to easy money / extra badges for us multiboxers is quite easy.

Log in your team, get them all in the group, and hit "i" to open the Dungeon Finder. select the role for your main (I selected tank since my main is my tank) Just like queing for a BG hit "Join as Party" A window will pop up on all your alts asking them what role they want. I tried this a few times, not selecting a healer, not selecting a tank, and all it did was sit me in a que and the que never popped, so I assume you want to set these to where you have a tank, healer, and dps roles selected so the que pops. Less than 10 seconds my last toon selected their role the que popped. So this is REALLY easy for us to get extra badges. You get emblem of frost x2 and 26g for the first random heroic, the next time, you get 2 Emblem of Triumph extra and 13g .

When the que pops, you will see a window letting you know and when you click on enter, you'll instantly port inside the dungeon. You don't know the dungeon until you port in. When you port in you get a Dungeon Cooldown debuff that lasts 15 minutes. So if you don't want to the dungeon you can just wait out the debuff and try again. Every time you run a dungeon this way, each toon gets an extra 2 badges. The first time you do it you'll get 2 of the ICC raid emblems, emblems of frost.

Happy token farming.

Do Emblems of Triumph drop off of the bosses in this "random" mode still?

[yaki]

Dropped badges should be the same as always. The PUGfinder bonuses are just that, bonuses. Or, free candy for multiboxers in our case.

[Maxion]

He's asking if the bosses drop triumph now or if it's still conquest.

oops, i meant conquest... my bad.

Triumph emblems for all heroic bosses now.

2 x Frost emblems for completing the first random heroic.
2 x Triumph emblems for completing each random heroic thereafter.

Conquest emblems can be obtained by trading in triumph emblems (1:1 ratio).

Cheers,

So basically it's now free t9 instead of free t8?

Sweet.

So now t7 and t8 are being officially phased out of the game?


Edit: According to MMO-Champion... it's 2

[yaki]

Yeah, free T9. There's a thread up about it somewhere. No free T10, but a win for us all the same.

[Shodokan]

3 pvp bosses (10/25) = 10
naxx10/25 (16 each) = 32
Ulduar10/25 (18 each iirc) = 36
Os10/25 (4 each) = 8
Maly 10/25 (2 each) = 4
50 per day from REGULAR heroics + 2 from heroic random daily = 52
TOC 10/25 (15 each) = 30

So that brings us to a total of... 172 for only 1 day of heroics + raids

7 days of heroics ONLY = 350~

5 pieces = 4 days worth or so... thats pretty stupid. So 8 days worth for full furious + full t9 main set.

[yaki]

Yeah you can get it pretty fast if you have the time and expertise.

No, emblems of my butt drop.

Seriosuly, read the damn patch notes.

At first I just thought you were an asshole, but after a few weeks seeing the kinds of posts you respond to, I'm really starting to come around...now I think they maybe deserve it. :D

[Ualaa]

Assuming you have that many raids in a day.
But, yes the potential is there.

For a boxer, not sure how much of that content you can 5-man.
But doing most of the heroics, is quite a few.

Svpernova09 has a thread which suggests 8 days, from boxable heroics with a geared team.
Or 12 days, from heroics boxable with fresh to 80th level gear.
For the full Tier 9 set.
Same number of badges for the Furious set too.

The current raids are far enough ahead of quest/leveling up 80th gear...
You do not have the "gear score", for ToC or Icecrown.
And even Naxx runs, people want you to overgear the instance by a long shot.
So you can clear it very quickly, without wipes even on serious mistakes.

The badges getting ToC 25 level gear, gets you to a point where you can participate in Icecrown raids, in a relatively short amount of time.
Blizzard has the philosophy, 99% of the player base should be able to do 99% of the content.
It has proven to be a much more effective market approach, then say EQ where 2% of the player base would see the end-game content in the expansion that the content was released in.

I'm the total opposite. But that's what ignore is for since it's ok to be a total ass to people here as long as the right people like you.

Nononono.

You can get as many Triumph per day as you like with the group finder thingie. You could farm from midnight to midnight if you are a sick individual. I expect to have one team geared out in 48hours.

If you read these boards at ALL you would have known the right answer. It's been discussed to death, just like the question: What tank, DK or Paladin? That keeps on popping up every other day. ITS PALADIN FFS! Should have a stickie at the top of the forum with no text in it that reads, "PALADIN IS EASIEST TANK FOR MULTIBOXERS(NT)"

Sorry you feel that way.

[Los]

mwa, depends, i like my warrior and druid as well, not much harder, in fact my druid has less macro's! :P

[Crel]

New content wrecks my alt teams, anyone else have heartattacks realizing they have 9 80's to get new gear, and a bunch of 70+'s to work? I'd hate to be a 40 boxer right about now.

[ragawaga]

So you can still do the random dungeon with a pre-made 5 man group?

Hmm try 17x 80s... luckily I am only going to level one more team and they just hit 71 last night. 3 teams to gear out and maybe some extra runs for the spares to get some luvin too. Of course ilvl 219 gear from the new instances which are totally farmable will work too.

[lacitpo]

level-appropriate rewards will be offered to players who choose the Random Dungeon option for pre-Wrath of the Lich King dungeons.

Can anyone clarify this a bit for me. Anyone use the RD option on some mid level toons? What did you get?
