Eyonix announced the following today in the official forums about the Scholomance Mini-Boss loot. Looks like a buff to the loot table is coming some time soon...
Prior to patch 1.10, the mini-bosses near the end of Scholomance were designed to drop a random green a majority of the time, with a small chance at dropping a blue. When we decided to improve the loot in Scholomance from green to blue we also decided to lower the drop rate on the actual items which dropped from the mini-bosses since these encounters do not warrant a blue item drop every time. So we took the green items which dropped from the mini-bosses, improved their statistical values, converted them to blue (rare), and lowered their drop rate. We decided to fill in the rest of the loot table with trade skill items, and things such as Dark Runes and Skin of Shadows, since, as already stated, these mini-bosses do not warrant a guaranteed blue drop every kill.
The end result of this change is that many of you will only receive a single blue item after killing the six mini-bosses. While we do feel these changes were justified, we realize that it doesn't feel very rewarding given that a number of you were accustomed to the previous drop situation.
So in an upcoming patch we're making additional improvements which will guarantee 2 blue items upon clearing the mini-bosses, as well as preserve the increased drop rate brought about with 1.10 over all items which drop from the mini-bosses.
In effect, these changes combined will have more than doubled what players are currently getting from the mini-bosses in Scholomance.
