I got the everlasting fireworks right off. Thought everyone got them. Wish I could send them to Alex…

Ran it maybe 10 times on a hunter and got the gun 3 times and for some reason an agility pole arm despite the last patch making melee weapons obsolete for hunters.

I agree with the new LFR loot rules. Hate them. Would rather suffer the idiots and at least roll for an item against serial needers than see nothing at all drop. It’s just not right to see no loot drop so many times. And at least the loot drama in LFR made you acknowledge the existence of other players. Now LFR is truly an empty solo experience.

When I kill a raid boss I want to see his treasure! Even if I can’t have it. They need to reevaluate that mechanic.

By the way, if Alex loves the flavor stuff, be sure to do Archeology. I have so many cool toys from that. I can turn into a naga, summon dancing dwarves, grow huge with a battle yell, play a troll drum and wind chimes. They really make the game fun for me, and I’m just a 50 year old kid.

Actually not getting epics helps get the fireworks.

According the the blue post it rolls and says Do you win a epic. Yes/No
If No then did you win fireworks/everlasting firework Yes/No

So you can’t win the an epic and everlasting firework on the same run. Yes you could say it uses the LFR system but so has every holiday of the last few years, your rolling against the machine for your wins, not rolling against your fellow players. Sadly in the end the everlasting firework is too low a chance, I decided i had better things to do then try 20,50,100 times:(

I ran the scenario all of twice, on the horde side, with my warrior and my DK. Warrior got a tanking sword and regular horde fireworks. DK only got Justice points. The scenario was fun, especially the first one with my warrior tank after the DK who joined our group ditched us and the shadow priest and I had to do it all alone, but it certainly lacked for loot. Oh well.

Cool!

Did you happen to run the level 20 quest (I assume it’s the same on Ally side) through Shadowfang? The staff reward is a wicked cool looking scythe – just screamed warlock – got my staff transmogged to it.

I had all of it transmogged on my Mage, but as we’re warlocks, Alex is really, really thrilled to be wearing the level 60 warlock gear. He even has the hood graphics enabled! On a male worgen, that’s pretty cool looking.

he likes the staff, he talks about smacking the mobs with his spiky skull stick.

Don’t forget, you can transmog the heirloom items.

That ugly staff can look pretty sweet.

I’ve seen epics quite a bit (across several characters – but then again, I do have an army of alts)…but didn’t even know the everlasting fireworks existed until you posted.

I have encountered a lot of stupid in the runs (no, really, it’s okay that I’m dying, please, run off and aggro the other bosses), but the absolute best runs I’ve had where those where there was someone who could heal. That and we’ve figured out how to avoid pretty much all of the trash after the initial part (and even some there) makes things even potentially faster. Did you know, at least as Horde, that you can run up the ramps and go around the top of Theramore to skip stuff? True story.

I will probably make a few more attempts tonight, just to see if I can get anything else that I’ll replace in 24 hours.

Ran it on 4 toons — the one character that didn’t need anything got an epic (for the wrong spec — tanking crown and he’s ret/holy). All the other characters that could have used something got squat (save my DK, but I run her as Unholy and the one handed scimitar dropped for her).

I’ve tried to read up on this firework.

Theres some people on my server who have gotten the “Run 100 Scenarios” achievement and haven’t seen the firework drop for them or any of the guildies that they ran with. I’ve also read up on WoWhead about it. It seems to be ridiculously rare item.

It’s drop rate seems to be somewhere between Ashes of Alar and Shadowfang…..and I’m thinking its closer to Shadowfang.

I don’t understand why it is so low for limited availability, it doesn’t make much sense to me.
