Patch 7.3.2’s undocumented changes makes rare mounts easier to get
While World of Warcraft’s patch 7.3.2 was touted by Blizzard as a more or less trivial patch, it still introduced its fair share of changes to the game. As it turns out, several of the changes it brought weren’t actually included in the official patch notes, short though they may have been. The WoW community being what it is, many of those undocumented changes have been discovered and shared.
Several of these changes were noticed across various corners of the internet. Wowhead has compiled them into a nice list for your viewing pleasure. Some of the undocumented changes are minor, but others are definitely going to interest players — namely, the changes to mount-dropping rare spawns and Tier 19 and 20 set bonuses.
The short version is that it’s easier to farm mounts like Poseidus and Poundfist. But if you want to see the full list of undocumented changes, take a look below:
UPDATE: The Infernal Core mount dropping off of Gul’dan in LFR was apparently a bug. It has been hotfixed, and you can no longer earn the mount via LFR.
-
Argus Campaign Quests had their location restrictions lifted for quests that required the Vindicaar to be located in a specific zone in order to be picked up and completed.
-
The Archdruid’s Lunarwing Form now hoots instead of cawing.
-
Poseidus, Poundfist and other rares from Draenor have been reported in the WoW General Secret Finding community to spawn soon after yesterday’s realms reset, similar to how Voidtalon of the Dark Star works. Poseidus also seems to spawn every 4 to 6 hours right now, but for further updates on those mounts please check the comments section on their page.
Don’t forget that you can group up with friends to camp them because everyone will get the mount through Personal Loot! -
The Immortal Squadron now requires to target 3 Immortal Squadron Fighters down from 6.

You can now get Living Infernal Core through Personal Loot from Looking for Raid Gul’dan despite not showing up in the dungeon journal. Previously people were reporting that it was not dropping at all through Personal Loot even on Normal and Heroic difficulties, but only through Group Loot or Master Loot. We can assume that this might have been fixed, but for further updates please check Nightswifty’s post.-

Legendary Tokens such as Bone-Wrought Coffer of the Damned can now be earned by players who already have all class legendaries.
Of course, mount farming will be “easier” thanks to the faster respawns, but now that this information is out there, we’ll likely have more competition. So, easier overall? Who knows. I’m still appreciative of the changes.
