Whats the droprate on this thing?

Comment by Erzfury

Now that's a truly ELUSIVE recipe.. i did 110 RUNS today, still no recipe! Will do another 100 tomorrow..etc..etc.. eventually i will get it!
EDIT: 170 runs.. still nothing, tomorrow we go for 250..! this feels like fishing the shard for the corrupted ashbringer all over again :P

Supposedly this drops from Overlord Wyrmthalak in LBRS but I've done at least 10 runs and haven't seen it yet.

I just wanted to submit this screenshot showing that it does indeed drop from Overlord Wyrmthalak in LBRS. It took about 40-50 runs so it seems pretty rare.

Also, if you want to know the fastest route I was doing to farm this, I was using my DH and doing it every 50 seconds to 1 minute. Here's a video of how I was doing it.

I give info in that video that I haven't really seen anywhere else, so I hope you find it useful.

Edit: I updated the image link because the last one wasn't working for some reason. Not sure if this is the original image I uploaded but this is the one I found on my hard drive around the date of this post.

Do I have to be a blacksmith to get this to drop?

Edit: So I finally got the damn plans. Dropped for my demon hunter (whom I created just for farming this recipe) on my 192th run. I managed to kill the boss in 40 seconds and run back to the start in 30 second (was too lazy to use the proving grounds strategy).

I do not know the answer to my own question that whether or not this drops only for blacksmiths because I trained the character in bs after 80 kills, just to be safe.

Here is the screenshot of the drop and my kill statistics for Overlord Wyrmthalak.

Got mine after 77 runs, so drop rate is pretty low. Good luck!

Edit: for the comment below me, this dropped for me on a character without blacksmithing.

Comment by doums

It took me 190 runs :

Overlord Wyrmthalak in LBRS (normal mod)
1'20 per run
using my DH (which I created especially for this)
with blacksmithing

Comment by sc2maxik

it took me 146 Overlord Wyrmthalak kills to get the recipe

Comment by DaveGames

Roughly 120 runs for me to get this.
Farmed using a Demon Hunter to jump the gap as shown in one of the videos above.
Keep the faith!

Today I obtained Plans: Arcanite Champion after killing Overlord Wyrmthalak a total of 148 times.

This can be farmed in less than a minute from start to finish using a Demon Hunter.

Comment by bearkiii

got it after 174 runs

Comment by Lustmord

500+ attempts without blacksmithing and still no recipe. I give up.

As this Thread hasn't been updated in a year, and only twice since the end of 2018, here's an update with some relevant information.

For those trying to Learn every possible recipe, the return of this Plan to the game was welcome, but information on how to obtain it has been scarce and somewhat vague. The Plans themselves don't say much about what is required to Learn them either, so I did some testing on acquiring/learning the Plans.

As with several other recipes brought back into the game, such as the Darkspear or Bleakwood Hew, you might need to have Legion Blacksmithing Level 1 learned to read this Plan, even though the Tooltip only says 'requires Blacksmithing (1)'. You'll have to be high enough level to get to Legion Dalaran to complete the Quest that allows for Learning Legion Blacksmithing if it is required for this Plan. I was unable to to test this as I had already Learned Legion Blacksmithing. You will, however, have to be at least CLvl 20 to Learn it.

I Confirmed it does drop from Overlord Wyrmthalak on Normal. It took 93 runs killing him before I saw it drop for the first time ever, after having run LBRS about 12 times previously with another character. This was a Warlock, CLvl 45, basic Green/Blue gear, without Blacksmithing as a Profession! He has Leatherworking and Skinning, so it is confirmed you do not need Blacksmithing to see this Plan drop.

It creates a BoE weapon, so the Plan can be sold on the Auction House, Traded, or Mailed to another person. Some materials are quite expensive, with Arcanite Bars over 600g each, Righteous Orbs 760g each, and Enchanted Leather 65g each on Windrunner, with about 100g in Gems needed as well. Total cost would be north of 11K gold, with the Plan selling for over a Million Gold, (!) and the weapon itself selling for 24K.

Using the Warlock Demonic Circle spell, I placed it at the top of the ramps overlooking the lava, then jumped over the ledge into the lava, swimming out near the now-useless Unfired Plate Gauntlets. Sprinting past as many mobs as possible and only roasting those necessary to get to Wyrmy, I beat him down, skinned him, ran back across the bridge leading to his room, dropped into the trench with the Spire Scarabs, ran through it and turned left, ran to the edge of the flat area with all the Ogres bumbling about, and triggered the Circle to Teleport myself back to my starting point. Ran out and reset. Total time elapsed: less than 5 minutes, sometimes 4 per run, until I received my Plans. A Grind indeed, but it's all RNG. Now I just need one more....

Update for Jan 2022!

After spending 5 more months of a few runs per day in LBRS (work interferes so much with WoW) Overlord Wyrmthalak finally dropped the Second Arcanite Champion scroll I needed for my second Blacksmith. The first Grind took 93 kills, the second Grind took 365 (!) kills before I fished a second scroll out of his guts, for a Grand Total of 458 Kills before I could leave those dank, dark chambers behind.

May Wyrmthalak rot in his(my) Pit of Suffering

I currently Play on Garrosh Horde - add my btag JacksonRykar#1819 - I have one on the AH Currently but can talk about a fair price, This dropped from a troll on my 5th run through,

Comment by enj0y

This just dropped for me, here's the proof: https://gyazo.com/003d77be867419c23718265b9a0bd751

I was getting a negative feeling everytime i killed the boss, that'd give some context in how &*!@in horrible this is to farm. However, i must've been lucky since my guess would be that i got it in about 60 kills.

My strat was the DH jump over the bridge.
No i didnt have have blacksmithing.

9.2.5
