One thing that World of Warcraft has never compromised on is creating huge piles of garbage items that players are meant to sell. I’m not being sarcastic. Every enemy – from lowly bears (and skinning a bear should aggro every bears) to deathless creatures from beyond mortal existence – drops various grey-quality items only worth hocking to a vendor for a handful of coins. Sometimes they feature fresh flavor text, sometimes they’re just new items, but no matter what the circumstance, enemies have their own unique trash items fit just for vendors.
It might seem weird to have a favorite piece of vendor trash, but sometimes the flavor text is funny. Sometimes the name is funny, like looting an entire bear carcass. Sometimes the item isn’t really technically vendor trash but might as well be (who has plenty of Harrow Chassis Blueprints in Warframe in the audience) and that makes it functionally vendor trash. So what’s your favorite piece of vendor trash in an MMO?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
