There's no way that it's anywhere near 300kp per legendary forever - the top AP earners in the world were getting 1 legendary per month (Dec-Jan) while earning several thousand KP per month. I earned 2000-3000kp between legendary #4 and #5 and that was 100% after the BLP was re-enabled The math may be useless but it's painfully obvious from other sources that droprates are nonlinear well beyond the first legendary drop The data disagrees. If you look at the data in the spreadsheet from the thread I linked and do the averages yourself (it's easy, just select the column and in the lower right corner you can tell google sheets to average it) you'll find that what I said was perfectly correct. Current averages for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and even 5th legendaries are roughly around the KP range I described. Bear in mind it's an average, and because of the low drop rate (and RNG being what it is) the variance is huge. While the average might be in the range I described it not abnormal for someone to get their next legendary almost immediately or for it to take thousands of KP before it drops. Moreover, there are notable problems with the KP system itself that cause it to be a guess at best:
For example, you can't query the armory for how many emissary caches someone has completed, and it's similar difficult to measure WQs, yet these are activities which are known to drop legendaries and interact with bad luck protection. Even worse, some facets of the armory don't separate activities done on alts with those of your main (and vice versa), which can create misleading data. From another angle, we basically have no idea how bad luck protection works. While we have some idea as to which activities are more likely to drop legendaries (raids, caches, mythic+ chests), that doesn't necessarily mean they increment bad luck protection more than other activities. We guess that they might, but it's practically impossible to tell since we don't have a sufficient volume of data to discern that. In short, the best available data we have right now indicates legendary drops rates are, on average, linear, but few individuals will experience it like that because variance is extremely high. | ||

They have taken some steps towards controlling loot - in late WOD it was changed so BOE's always drop personally regardless of the loot setting. A while after that (legion prepatch?) they disabled the ability to take the loot off personal unless 80%+ of your group is from your guild. They seemed unwilling to touch what guilds do with their loot, though, avoiding options like forcing personal loot | ||

The "casual" system is the improved system, but leads to the edge case of split runs. If nothing else could be done, it seems appropriate to limit the usage of the lockout system to the edge case, which is mythic raiders. | ||

Took us a good 50 pulls adapting a good strategy for Phase 1. Saw the first Arcane phase tonight. No wonder so many guilds are skipping her and going for Krosus, even if he requires very high numbers; | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DmdBARi.png) Good that you do it like 1-3, 4/5/6/7/8, 9-10. Tuning probably takes that into account as well | ||

Elisande is similarly kinda cool, even if excessive in the move around the room category. | ||

In short, the best available data we have right now indicates legendary drops rates are, on average, linear, but few individuals will experience it like that because variance is extremely high. I'm not aware of anyone that i regularly play with that has even 6 on one character, players with over 1k hours logged, many hundreds of raid bosses, 500-1000 mythic+ etc. None have 3, a few still have 4 legendaries and almost all have 5 Meanwhile the few guys that i know playing across a whole char list of characters with the same playtime have over 20 legendaries each split with all characters having a couple each, maybe one char with 3-4. These are anecdotes but when you have 30 of them showing highly unexpected data it's more than enough to make strong suggestions I came to pretty much the opposite conclusions from some similar data and personally researching + asking questions a lot - that the variance did not seem to be large (edge case vs edge case, yeah, but can strongly predict amount of legendaries in even a small group of players) and that the rates were hugely nonlinear with 2, 3 coming much faster than 5 and 6, at least since around ~7.1 300kp is also just way too low to have any chance of being correct as an average. The average person with 6k KP doesn't have 20 legendaries, they have about 5 - that's easy to check. The only people with 10 on one character are extremely lucky, dedicated players and i have not actually seen one myself yet | ||

I think part of the problem are set boni - I just calculated 4 piece bonus increases my overall heal by 1.8%, often less. Are set boni similar for other classes? edit: Correction can be like 2.6%. | ||

In Warcraftlogs stats the lower you go in item lvl the better he looks and the higher you go the worse he looks. Consequently Mistweaver logs for NH mythic also look way worse than for NH hc.

Scaling has been an issue for Mistweaver and Windwalker alike sadly. Until both spec get something that scales off secondaries correctly, we're bound to see the same patern every tier. | ||

Yes I feel that any class that does not scale well with haste and mastery will have issues (except it gets extra value from crit which monk does not). Although WW does not look bad in general. | ||

That clearly isn't the case, not by a long shot. Ultimately I'd rather rely on reports like yours than KP anyway, as KP is at best a stab in the dark with a dull knife. The KP values for activities are based on the assumption that activities which are more likely to drop legendaries have a greater effect on BLP, the values themselves are somewhat arbitrary despite that (e.g. Mythic kills are 3 times as valuable as LFR kills, despite only dropping legendaries 80% more often), and the most important activities can't even be accurately measured (Mythic+, WQs, caches). KP is more flawed than Gearscore, and that's saying a lot. | ||

So that we could know what would be more or less efficient for farming legs. Just thinking this has to exist in order to make the KP calculations. | ||

That's all well and good until you realize that M+ runs and the "other" category, the activities KP can't accurately measure or effectively ignores, account for 37% and 35% of all legendary drops respectively. When your system effectively doesn't handle the majority of cases, and arguably doesn't accurately handle the remaining minority of cases, you have a problem. | ||
