World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is introducing the legacy content damage multiplier for Legion raid instances, allowing players who couldn't solo them throughout Shadowlands to comfortably do so in Dragonflight. The culture of going through old content in search of transmogrification gear, mounts, or achievements has existed in World of Warcraft for a very long time. There are few in the community who haven't tested their luck against Garrosh Hellscream in Siege of Orgrimmar, hoping that his iconic Tusks of Mannoroth would finally drop.
In Shadowlands, especially at the beginning, not every class could finish all the Mythic raids from Legion, and there are certain bosses who still represent a formidable challenge even to fully-geared groups (such as Kil'jaeden). The common expectation when it comes to legacy content in World of Warcraft is that players can expect to solo raids three expansions behind with ease – and that's where the likes of Antorus, Tomb of Sargeras, and the Nighthold will be in a month from now.
With the release of Dragonflight on November 28, World of Warcraft players can expect to find Legion raids a lot more accessible for their armor and mount farming needs. The legacy raid damage multiplier buff will persist in Legion's instances, and according to Wowhead's parses, it will equate to an 800% to 1000% increase in player power at Level 70 – the new level cap in Dragonflight.
While Legion raids have securely slid into solo farming territory, it does open up an interesting question of how Battle For Azeroth raids fare in Dragonflight. If the power progression between Shadowlands and Dragonflight is at a comparable curve to its predecessors, players can expect to solo content such as Uldir and Battle of Dazar'alor, with The Eternal Palace and Ny'alotha having some impediments for certain classes who might lack proper mitigation or self-healing.
Legacy loot and Personal loot have also become a thing of the past in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, as looting has once again unified into a new, singular, universal loot system in World of Warcraft. Drawing inspiration from the game's Group Loot roots, and taking from the lessons learned that caused Blizzard to implement Personal loot in the first place, the result is a loot system that's much more fair and flexible than the previous ones.
Players still hope that the development team at World of Warcraft will consider allowing legacy raid gear to unlock for transmogrification purposes if the current class can equip it, rather than restricting plate classes to only be capable of unlocking plate armor. Though the chances of Blizzard acquiescing to these demands are slim, farming legacy raids in Dragonflight has undoubtedly gotten easier.
World of Warcraft is available now for PC. Dragonflight launches on November 28.
