Endgame PvE

Wonderholme (Both Modes)

• Zenith jewelry is now guaranteed for raids with the maximum Joy of Partying bonus:
  • Hard: Nightmare Bandersnatch always drops a Zenith Necklace; Nightmare Felbane and Nightmare One-Eyed Jack always drop a Zenith Shield Band.
  • Normal: all three bosses - One-Eyed Jack, Felbane, and Bandersnatch - always drop a Zenith Earring.
• The existing bonus jewelry rolls are unchanged, so lucky raids can still walk away with extras.
• Drop rate increases:
  • Hard: all gear drop rates (direct weapon and armor drops, and Wonderous chests) increased by 25%.
  • Normal: boots and gloves drop rates increased by 25%, and Felbane and One-Eyed Jack now drop them in addition to Bandersnatch.
• Morgak & Kagrom now drop Ancient Treasure Chests.
• Enchanting materials are now spread across the raid: half of Bandersnatch's Resplendent Alkahest and Feedstock drops have been moved evenly onto the other four bosses (dungeon totals unchanged).

Enchanting Materials

• Resplendent Alkahest and Feedstock drops have been greatly increased in Wonderholme (both modes), Shattered Fleet, and Kezzel's Gorge.

  These have been rebalanced such that per-player amounts from each dungeon are more in line with each other and relative to time spent per dungeon. Wonderholme (Hard) rewards the most, with the other three close together behind it.

• Resplendent Alkahest and Feedstock now also drop from the bosses of Manaya's Core (Hard), Kelsaik's Nest (Hard), and Argon Corpus (Hard).

Alliance

• The Vault of Allies' drops has been greatly enriched:
  • ~66% more guaranteed Ancient Treasure Chests per kill.
  • Roughly 10× more Resplendent Alkahest.
  • Roughly 15× more Resplendent Feedstock.
  • 25% more Marvelous Feedstock and Bound Marvelous Alkahest.
  • Alliance accessory (rings and earrings) drop rates greatly increased.
  • Vault Ticket drop chance increased by ~66%.
  • Now also drops Argon Vitriol.
• Solo Vault
  • Vault Ticket drop chance has been increased to 50% (was 30%).

Merchants

• Resplendent Alkahest can now be purchased from the Specialty Store.
  • Marvelous Alkahest price has been lowered.
