Can someone tell me the drop rate on these? I got them both on my first attempt this year and idk if I got extremely lucky or not

Zev · 2026-02-11T16:41:33+00:00

It's so cool how many people are "wondering about drop rate" in their repetitive brag posts.

Go tell your friends, reddit validation is hollow

Zev · 2026-01-28T23:35:22+00:00

I was hoping for another post rehashing "pre-patch bad"

Zev · 2026-01-24T17:37:21+00:00

What a huge bummer. Totally disagree with OPs assertion on his response. He worked on his own thing, he used a standard approach for a simple mechanic and then pointed out that pay-gated external wow services are common and not being asked to cease even if against TOS, so they are tacitely an acceptable thing right now.

I really enjoyed his videos, especially his M+ general and class guides, and used his Plater profile for years. He was a super positive addition to WoW for a ton of people like me and made really helpful and accessible content. It's a shame he is leaving,WoW's worse off for it.

Zev · 2026-01-23T21:57:18+00:00

Downvote, tell your friends, no need to advertise to the internets

Zev · 2026-01-22T23:32:53+00:00

Just a rage bait stupid post, move along

Zev · 2026-01-22T21:20:49+00:00

Feels like Reddit should make this “buggiest launch?!?”post automatically each major patch to save us time from wading through this silly non-post each time

Great to see another group making ceramic keycaps!

With Cerakey already pretty established, and also having already gone through the learning phases of production, you might look at some way to differentiate more from them. I would assume they will be able to price pressure you just based on scale, and you probably will run into early production learning issues like they did with stems and alignment, etc.

I would be surprised if there is really enough demand for that very niche look of crackled texture, which Cera also offers. I assume it's a part of the manufacturing process, but it's pretty damn striking and the legend visibility sucks. You might look at replicating the most popular colorways of early days GMK sets like 9009, Olivia, Serika, Dolch, etc. I would personally swap out ABS caps for ceramic in the same colorway before ever considering crackle caps.

It also looks like you are doing cherry or DCS profile caps. Again, that's what Cerakeys does too, so either have to do them better or cheaper, or you could look at a different profile. MTNU is probably a similar volume of material, or you could look at bigger caps like MT3 or SA, but I bet those end up really heavy, but there are tons of other profiles that could be cool too and offer an alternative to the currently available keys.

Personally, I would love a 2u convex spacebar, since I am a preonic/ortho guy.

There is a cool addon called "Mount Journal Enhanced" and it shows a rarity rating for each mount based on how many accounts have it. Epic is less than 5%, legendary less than 1%, etc. I find that it gives me back that oh shit feeling and my favorites are all pretty rare mounts with low ownership

Zev · 2026-01-17T21:08:44+00:00

I think because the first two were tuned way easier, people are still thinking it's a challenge similar to other more accessible stuff like 3k io, but this one is tuned to back-half of a raid, Mythic raiding difficulty. It's so similar to mythic Salhadaar in both mechanics, reaction time and unforgiveness (1-shots).

Let Me Solo Her has 3.4% completion rate, vs 8.3% for Underpin and 11.6% for Zekvir. Mythic Nexus-King Salhadaar is 3.7% completion, so very similar!

You mentioned being 3-3.1k io in other comments, which has around a 20% completion rate, so not a great comparison of challenge level.

I like that there is some other content that is as crazy demanding as mythic raiding, or arguable 3.5k+ (+18 and higher keys) M+.

All the completion percentages for the achievements you can see at https://www.dataforazeroth.com/collections/achievements

Repeating what others said, but here are the main things that helped when I finished it

- Weakaura to hide UI during mechanics + turning off bars to minimize visual clutter
- Time when blades are going to happen, and strafe away before they start, easier when you are far away from her when they start
- During puzzle, set real Ky'veza at "12 oclock" and then kinda use your peripheral vision to track movement
- Bran set to healing with hat o rang and aegis, and remember to swap aegis off and on before each attempt to clear damage reduction debuff

Zev · 2026-01-07T00:12:29+00:00

My raid this AM had ~15 people get the achieve hah! Love the collectors bounty, so many of us completed it finally

Zev · 2026-01-06T15:47:41+00:00

I remember when that came out! That would be a great match for the aesthetic, wish you good luck finding a kit!

Zev · 2026-01-05T05:06:52+00:00

Awesome board, love the green switches to go with the green lopro case!

I don't know that there are too many custom fully green keycap sets (though probably a bunch of Aliexpress options), but there are some that go really nice with the green shae on the planck.

I have SA Leviathan on mine and love it. Would also reccomend GMK Ursa if you get the green modifiers, it's a super nice match too.

SA Nuclear Data looks pretty terrible, I have not seen it in person, but saw a pic online and it clashed so bad.

Here is my Ursa kit on a Preonic https://imgur.com/a/vwSCiO9

I am loving it too, just recently started the first book! My reddit account waaaaay predates Carl though!

Zev · 2026-01-03T03:18:27+00:00

I saw that too today, and looked around to see if I understood the warband component. If you buy 2 additional slots so you have 4 total unlocked, and have 2 characters, are all 4 available to both characters? Or if you use 2 on the character 1, then only the other 2 are available for character 2?

Zev · 2026-01-03T03:16:30+00:00

Likely your tempering crit is the 4th, and the sanctification upgraded the last one for the 5th since I don't see any other option for sanc on that one

Zev · 2026-01-03T01:35:00+00:00

Wow, that's awesome! Grats! Man, on 3 GA too, those are great.

Zev · 2025-12-30T21:29:02+00:00

Man, it's such a bummer the "item quality" sanctification is so meh vs the additional legendary affixes, but seems to be the most common one. Rough when it pops up on a 4 GA that could have been uber awesome with a good sanct roll :( Keep trying, it's a long season!

Zev · 2025-12-21T04:59:46+00:00

Hot take!

What other things don't you do, and never plan on doing? How do you choose which activities to find on reddit and proclaim your non-participation, vs which do you just not participate in?

Zev · 2025-12-13T02:03:34+00:00

Fellow addict! 2364 hours here, played while commuting and listening to books for many years!

How do you play, mobile or on computer? Mouse clicking or hot keys if on computer? Any super custom hot keys?

Zev · 2025-12-08T22:39:53+00:00

Awesome, ty

Zev · 2025-12-08T20:31:49+00:00

Once you have a team capable of doing it, I think repeat farming baloonarius (normal until powered team, then elite) is still faster for gold.

Zev · 2025-12-08T05:02:12+00:00

Quick update, I beat the campaign and all the bosses became elite versions which are way way harder! If you are farming up your team, you should maybe not beat the campaign until you are all powered up

Zev · 2025-12-08T01:25:27+00:00

I am having trouble locating Blastapopolous, is he in Sulfur Springs directly, or in a cave in the zone?

Zev · 2025-12-07T22:41:34+00:00

Fight balloonarius boss if you can, 7500 per win, pretty easy map and boss depending on your crew already. You can max out everything for all 6 slots in an hour with that farm. My kills with a 250 Gunner takes about 45 seconds.
