Summary
World of Warcraftjust increased the Plunder players get in almost every aspect of Plunderstorm. This welcome change makes farming all the rewards in the newWorld of Warcraftbattle royale game mode much easier than before.
Plunderstorm is a new game modeWorld of Warcraftintroduced in Patch 10.2.6. In the frenetic pirate-themed battle royale, 60 players drop into the Arathi Highlands to fight for dominance and collect Plunder, which progresses them through the Renown track to earn special rewards.
Now, less than 48 hours afterPlunderstorm was added toWoW, Blizzard has made earning Plunder much easier. Fans will find 50% more Plunder from NPC enemies on the Plunderstorm map, twice as much from golden chests, and five times as much for being the last player or team standing at the end of the match. Additionally, characters drop larger Plunder bounties when they die, the sum of which grows larger the more Plunder they had – though players don’t lose Plunder when they die.
WoW Plunderstorm Reputation Gains Increased
This is a massive improvement over how Plunder was obtained previously. Before this hotfix,World of Warcraftplayers in Plunderstorm had little incentiveto try and win the match, as the most efficient way to gain Plunder was to avoid PvP and farm PvE mobs, or simply complete match quests, die, and start a new game. While these strategies are still viable, gamers who actually come out on top can easily finish games with thousands of Plunder under their belt, rather than a few hundred.
That said, these adjustments are not without downsides. Some players are reporting the increase in PvP Plunder gains has led to more aggression in each match, leading some characters to be knocked out quickly. While this can be frustrating for players who don’t want to fight other players in theWorld of WarcraftPvP event, they can at least always requeue for another match quickly enough. As fans adjust to these new changes, hopefully they will realize letting these players farm more Plunder first will give them more rewards if they die later in the match.
Either way, the Plunderstorm rewards are now easier than ever to obtain.World of Warcraftplayers can get mounts and minionsfor both retail and Classic, as well as transmogs, titles, and even Trader’s Tender through Plunderstorm, so fans should be sure to try out the exciting new game mode while they still can.
