WoW: Traditional loot rule for Legion content as of next ID

With the introduction of the Traditional Loot Rule, life has been made easier for transmog collectors in Battle for Azeroth: all dungeons and raids that are eleven or more levels below your character level will provide you with loot of the appropriate armor class. Before, bosses would just randomly drop all the items in their Loot Table. In the case of Legion, Legacy Loot has not been active until now because the level of Legion dungeons and raids is level 110.

Starting with the next ID, however, the Legacy Loot rule will already be in effect for Legion content anyway. Blizzard feels that towards the end of the current content, now is the right time. So from April 1, transmog collectors will have the opportunity to grab new Legion outfits more easily.

Original Bluepost
With scheduled weekly maintenance the week of March 31, we're enabling Legacy loot rules in Legion raids and dungeons.

We've reached that point in an expansion where the content from the previous expansion no longer requires a full group, and the rewards are primarily sought by transmog collectors. With this change, Legion raid and dungeon encounters will drop a fixed quantity of class-agnostic loot. Today, if you and one other player enter Emerald Nightmare on Mythic difficulty and kill Nythendra, it's unlikely that you'll receive any loot, since drop rates normally scale to the number of players. After this change, Nythendra will always drop 5 items from her loot table, regardless of your group size.

Dungeons and many of the lower-difficulty raid bosses in Legion are already soloable by well-equipped Battle for Azeroth characters, though some bosses, especially on Mythic difficulty, may still require you to bring a few friends. Nonetheless, this should amount to a great increase in the availability of Legion transmog gear.

See you there!
