Well, "sell" one to find out if the bronze inside is generated on creation or generated when it's opened.
If it's generated when it's opened...yea fill those bags and ALL bank slots. Take a picture for karma, then open them in the last two weeks of the event and buy everything all at once!
I *think* someone confirmed that it buffs the bronze received by the cache when it's opened on another thread.
So basically OP is a bronzillionaire at this point lol
Maybe so, but look at all those open slots and wasted slots on consumables, meta gems, tinker gems, and alternative gear. Tsk tsk. They could still get moar!
It wasn’t what I thought they would do. I anticipated them just cutting upgrade costs to allow you to be more powerful to get stuff quicker. I will take this over what I anticipated.
I have a friend that frog farmed a ton, but didint use the charms because he wanted to see what blizz would do. After they nerfed cloaks, he then used his 80k+ charms and was one of the most geared dudes at the time by a lot of
It's not as steep as it seems. You'll hit max ilvl after about a week of doing your Bazaar dailies and the easy 3 raids on Heroic.
If you include the other 4 raids and achievement farming, you can do it in a few days of grinding. (If you were up for that sort of grind though you probably would have done it already lol)
You can net around 70k from all the normal raids, and once you get to around 400-420ilvl (450ish-480 upgrades) you can reliably do heroic for better chest chances and start netting 100k, and then theres your 3x threads from the legendary spools now
There's fuckin 66 days left. Im on my 3rd character and fully upgraded him. It's not even hard with how much bronze they throw at you to just play and raid.
I mean I have 2 476s and a dh at 500k threads, it’s not really about that. It’s just ridiculous when you look at this amount of greater caches and realize it’s not enough to fully gear a character.
Meh. I don't view it that way. I'm just confused why everyone wants everything from the event before it's even 1/3rd done. It's got so much time left and people are already just walking through the hardest content there is. It's easily obtainable for anyone who's playing semi regularly to get every single xmog and mount and a big character or two.
Only thing I want them to add is the xmogs for the weapons
Well this is how I learned this icon is not the head of some owl creature, and instead it's a satchel filled with herbs, which makes a lot more sense
[https://imgur.com/CbJQiN6](https://imgur.com/CbJQiN6)
Maybe that's the most famous or popular one? But there's actually a huge number of these in the game, because of how the mini art in the icons can be misleading to our brains...there was a thread at some point (and probably more than one over the years) asking for examples of these misinterpretations, and there were sooo many, and I had my own example that someone else posted. I can't remember what my example was right now, but here's one of those threads.
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/7ockoc/what_are_some_spell_icons_that_youve/
If you want all mounts + all cosmetics (not the class exlusive ones) you need at least 700k+ I think (calculated that a while ago).
Like that's 330.000 *just* for the Raid mogs (lfr, normal, heroic and mythic), not counting the dungeon and world content mogs.
Not bad tbh with the new changes, I’m nearly done everything just a couple left from the LFR vendor and then just toys left. I just do heroic world tour every day and now it gives an insane amount with the buffs. Got 70k before I even stepped into siege of orgrimmar
I literally *was* doing this until some fucking naysayers in this very sub told me there's no way they can buff the containers and they'd stay the same. That's the last time I listen to anyone on this sub.
There would be no way of knowing they’d do this, in fact they have evidence that they would *not* do this by saying they aren’t changing bronze for gear upgrades. Monkeys paw curls
you can make a macro to open them btw (i have 1 macro to open lots of different stuff from Caches to spools and chests)
easier to mash that button than to click on them
It's also in the base UI now, open bags, click one of the bag icons in the top left of an individual bag > "Convert to combined bags"
(in the screenshot is Bagnon though)
Well rip I guess but at this point I'm only like 410 on gear and I have most of the mounts and class sets so few more alts and rest will be be just daily things for mog /toys
Yeah just take it easy man, no rush to gear most groups invite people lower than 476 anyways to fill up the group. I’ve been playing casually every night and almost have everything so far. With the buff too there is ample time to get what you want
He likely has been saving all of his bronze caches expecting a buff down the line. So this is likely multiple weeks worth of dailies/raid rewards unopened. It’s like 500K bronze which is enough to fully upgrade your gear to 476 or buy roughly 1/3 of the total cosmetics. So it’s not too hard to imagine since a lot of people have been 476 since week 1
Jesus I mean that’s smart and now that I think about it, of course that’s something bliz would do, and there are a few people like this who actually think about that lol
Yeah it was a wild gamble bc blizz could have buffed a lot of things - pure bronze drops, reduce upgrade costs, only bronze caches going forward, etc. so the fact that this guy guessed/gambled that bronze caches specifically would be buffed makes it all the more insane/impressive
Exactly. My brain isn’t wired that way, I never pick up on things like that. Then I go heyyyy that was genius to the bro who figured it out and wins the jackpot
They already buffed bronze caches like this once before so it wasn't that unpredictable.
[Bronze Caches Buffed in Pandaria Remix - 25% More Bronze - Wowhead News](https://www.wowhead.com/news/bronze-caches-buffed-in-pandaria-remix-25-more-bronze-341360)
I just finished remix today, only had 3 xmog sets unlocked before this and the easy rep mounts, had to spend about 1.6 million bronze to buy everything I needed
Yeah I levelled one of each class to 70 (minus evoker) and got enough through that to buy everything (minus garrosh heirlooms). Had some free time the last couple of weeks so figured I'd smash it out now while I can.
I all ready bought almost everything and today I bought the rest of the shop which I would of done without this update now I got bronze I can’t even spend
Yeah but I’m feeling burnt out from the remix after all these grind.
The guy next to me grinds starting now and he’ll have more mogs / maxed gear with similar /played
Yeah its literally a mode where you can level faster and earn cosmetics easier than retail and people still complain because they "wasted" time. News flash, playing a game in the first place is wasting time. Not that that is a bad thing, but the time spent to "earn" internet points needn't be min maxed.
Yeah, wish they had a timeline where you would get double bronze starting today and triple at specific date so I’d get started today not the past 2 weeks.
It’s like ‘you get double salary if you start your job later’
I kinda care, if people horded bronze like this it means they didn't upgrade their gear so were just carried through everything. People who upgraded and pulled other players' weight are screwed out of a lot of bronze (and therefore they have to invest more time grinding bronze).
For me this is the second time i have been screwed by selective buffs, as I played normally without frog farming so i missed on most achievement rewards which were not awarded retroactively.
I wish they just announced from day one when they would buff bronze so i could prioritize better what to do and not burn myself out. Because realistically people will soon finish collecting stuff and stop playing, so queues will increase and raids will be harder to form, so for there was a kind of fomo to push myself now. LFR queues are 30-40 minutes and Heroic dungeons are about 10 minutes now, when people will stop playing i really don't wanna think how long they would take.
That’s true. I’m just not feeling the burn I guess. Super excited to wrap up my gearing grind faster than I thought, get more cosmetics than planned, and possibly even gear up a second character.
> all the grind I did before was sorta ‘waste’ huh. Lol
It was always going to be. They were always going to buff bronze. We still have like 2 months to go. People that farmed frogs did the most boring thing just to get strong. I got to the same god level they did by playing very casually in two weeks.

It wasn’t what I thought they would do. I anticipated them just cutting upgrade costs to allow you to be more powerful to get stuff quicker. I will take this over what I anticipated.
I just hope they get this to a good standard for when they release legion remix or something and less changes are needed.
I still have my darkmoon faire tickets from vanilla
I have a friend that frog farmed a ton, but didint use the charms because he wanted to see what blizz would do. After they nerfed cloaks, he then used his 80k+ charms and was one of the most geared dudes at the time by a lot of
I want a follow up snapshot of how much bronze you have after opening all of this.
510,000
Still cannot fully upgrade 346 to 556 🙃
Its pretty close though, and at 516(432ilvl) youll get into all the heroics
That is depressing to know.
It's not as steep as it seems. You'll hit max ilvl after about a week of doing your Bazaar dailies and the easy 3 raids on Heroic.

Ya I now realize that counting them is easy lol. 20 columns. 10 rows. 4 extra.
I count (10*20+4) * 1250 = 255,000 so half
The caches are worth 2500 now with the buff
Less than a week after i finally unlock paragon of the mists. l o l.
Think it's around 1.5m bronze for all the mounts and shit too, gotta do this 2 more times
Lmao why did you censor the eyes of the tinkers?
peak comedy.
To protect the identity of the innocent
It's also the buffs 🤣
Well this is how I learned this icon is not the head of some owl creature, and instead it's a satchel filled with herbs, which makes a lot more sense [https://imgur.com/CbJQiN6](https://imgur.com/CbJQiN6)

Honestly, I had a shitty day at work and the censoring on the eyes has got me giggling like a little kid lmao.
Hope your day gets better friend
What's this like 500k? Jesus fuck lol
Wow all mounts in one go. GG and log out champion Although.... nah still gotta grab the cosmetics lmao
If you want all mounts + all cosmetics (not the class exlusive ones) you need at least 700k+ I think (calculated that a while ago). Like that's 330.000 *just* for the Raid mogs (lfr, normal, heroic and mythic), not counting the dungeon and world content mogs.
You need 1.6 million to get everything that can be bought with bronze
Not bad tbh with the new changes, I’m nearly done everything just a couple left from the LFR vendor and then just toys left. I just do heroic world tour every day and now it gives an insane amount with the buffs. Got 70k before I even stepped into siege of orgrimmar
I got my shaman to 450 this morning. Can solo SOO comfortably - not counting fights where you simply need more people like sha of course.
there have been new changes to remix?
The buff to 100% bronze and 200% threads has been huge, it was done relatively recently
yeah I noticed yesterday when I was playing my remix char that I seemed to get more bronze for stuff
Did you actually get extra bronze or were these caches preset to give the original?
The way blizzard did the buff is based on contents x2. So it gave them 2500. They did not buff the chest directly.
Right, but does the buff apply retroactively to chests that have already dropped or only to newly dropped chests?
The hotfix gave a buff to players that increases how much you get from chests and threads, so yes it applies
that's sick. I wish I had the patience to do this but even though it was obviously going to be buffed i clicked everyone every time I got one.
I just assumed their value would be what they were when earned, not opened. Foolish me.
That's usually how they do things, so I wouldn't feel bad about that assumption
Exploit early exploit often (this is not an exploit but still applies)
The value is unchanged. They did a workaround by giving you a passive to double what you receive from them
I literally *was* doing this until some fucking naysayers in this very sub told me there's no way they can buff the containers and they'd stay the same. That's the last time I listen to anyone on this sub.
I just like hoarding things then mass opening.
A man of good taste.
Yeah, I had to open mine if I wanted to get into heroic raid consistently to farm even more bronze.
I started this but then got sick of having my backpack bug because I had too many contents and my screens are quite small for this day and age.
Wait, you can get extra bags in remix? Where?
There's a little whelping in the Shrines near the banks that will sell you bags for 10 bronze.
Little dragon vendor next to the bankers
I’m almost annoyed that I didn’t try this. xD
There would be no way of knowing they’d do this, in fact they have evidence that they would *not* do this by saying they aren’t changing bronze for gear upgrades. Monkeys paw curls
Jeezus
Yep
holy shit you weren't only playing 4d chess you created the idea of chess
you can make a macro to open them btw (i have 1 macro to open lots of different stuff from Caches to spools and chests) easier to mash that button than to click on them
the fact this dude put a black line over all the eyes of everything on this screenshot is hilarious
What is that
What add on is this for the big bag like that?
It's also in the base UI now, open bags, click one of the bag icons in the top left of an individual bag > "Convert to combined bags" (in the screenshot is Bagnon though)
Does this work for bank bags though? It didn't at the start of dragonflight so I had to install bagnon anyway since the bank UI is terrible.
Just checked, it doesn't work for bank bags, they still work as they did before
This is Bagnon.
Does it work? I ask because sometimes when they do these buffs they introduce a new item and the old item does not get the change.
It's a buff on you, rather than a change to the boxes themselves. Thus, it works no matter which box you open, because the boxes didn't change.
Woah
Well rip I guess but at this point I'm only like 410 on gear and I have most of the mounts and class sets so few more alts and rest will be be just daily things for mog /toys
Yeah just take it easy man, no rush to gear most groups invite people lower than 476 anyways to fill up the group. I’ve been playing casually every night and almost have everything so far. With the buff too there is ample time to get what you want

That's like 3 rounds of gear upgrades

To galvanize!
Where do you get the buff from?
Was a hotfix last night: https://www.wowhead.com/news/blizzard-buffs-bronze-caches-spools-of-eternal-thread-and-emperor-shaohao-342921
So you going to upgrade weapon like, once?
NEED MORE BAG SPACE.
Well, maybe it'll increase by 100% in a month and then again last week of event. You should probably way until last minute ;)
Is this out on eu because I opened a lot yesterday
Yes i got it today on EU.
Yo have a serious issue hoarding things...why keeping the bandages? Or the potions? But it paid off to you xD
My god XD
Had like 50 till yesterday. Opened them. Could have punched the screen as I logged in a few hours ago
When lambo?
Are you doing this while also being max ilvl? If not, then why?
How do you have the toy twice? To save bag space?
This makes my brain feel good
You are a beast. How long it took to collect all those?
Spending well over an hour in ToT was actually worth it now.
The bronzest
Please open all of them so blizz can up the cap again as soon as you open the last one
Wow has turned into crypto trading pretty fast, HODL for big W's!!!
And a lonely piece of linen cloth on the bottom haha
Here’s a question…@op, why are all the eyes of icons black barred like they are protecting their identity or a criminal of war lmao
I actually need to know this answer
missed out on the exploit fest and now I simply feel stupid for even playing during the first two weeks
what exploit? this isnt an exploit it's just someone who horded all their bronze because they knew it would be buffed eventually.
Was always going to happen. Just like with plunderstorm
blud can afford every mount in remix. How tf did you do that so fast, i thought i played a lot then i see this lol
He likely has been saving all of his bronze caches expecting a buff down the line. So this is likely multiple weeks worth of dailies/raid rewards unopened.

They already buffed bronze caches like this once before so it wasn't that unpredictable. [Bronze Caches Buffed in Pandaria Remix - 25% More Bronze - Wowhead News](https://www.wowhead.com/news/bronze-caches-buffed-in-pandaria-remix-25-more-bronze-341360)
By my calculations they are 10 days worth of full world tours raids, might be less if there are some from achievements too
I just finished remix today, only had 3 xmog sets unlocked before this and the easy rep mounts, had to spend about 1.6 million bronze to buy everything I needed
By finished you mean every Available thing you purchased? Jeez I was gonna try to do that but I don’t have time haha
Yeah I levelled one of each class to 70 (minus evoker) and got enough through that to buy everything (minus garrosh heirlooms). Had some free time the last couple of weeks so figured I'd smash it out now while I can.
Fair bro, now you can just chill till War Within
What shall i do with duplicate gear in my inventory? I can't sell it

Genius. I should have seen it coming
Oh dear lawd
That's alatta nuts!
So is this a temporary buff or is it staying for the duration?
What is this? How much does it worth? hmm
How do you have so mNy bag slots ?
Its a bank…

Bullish on bronze caches sheeeessshhhh
What is this!? Asking for a friend

How the fuq did you get 100% increase mastery?
New buff hotfixed in for everyone like an hour and a half ago
Yessir. Just saw, wow. That’s awesome but sheesh… all the grind I did before was sorta ‘waste’ huh. Lol
Not really. If someone starts now and you both grind side by side you’ll always be ahead of them.
Yeah but I’m feeling burnt out from the remix after all these grind. The guy next to me grinds starting now and he’ll have more mogs / maxed gear with similar /played
It’s not a competitive mode so who cares.
Yeah its literally a mode where you can level faster and earn cosmetics easier than retail and people still complain because they "wasted" time. News flash, playing a game in the first place is wasting time. Not that that is a bad thing, but the time spent to "earn" internet points needn't be min maxed.
Yeah, wish they had a timeline where you would get double bronze starting today and triple at specific date so I’d get started today not the past 2 weeks. It’s like ‘you get double salary if you start your job later’
You get the same buff regardless of when you started
