T13 crafting materials from BAMs (new patch)

The BAMs in level 60 zones now drop tier 13 crafting materials (common, uncommon, and rare). Named BAMs now have a higher probability of dropping crafting materials.


What exactly does this mean?

All the T13 crafting mats are Superior and not Rare so I'm a bit confused on what they would drop.

A way to entice people to go out and kill 60 BAMs.

An enticement that, I fear, won't work. There does seem to be a vocal minority who do not want to have to go hunt in the overworld for anything, including crystals, and thus seem skeptical on anything associated with making BAMs more valuable. (I am not saying the OP is in this minority.)

That's because there is currently nor reason to hunt them.

Want cruxes go do Ebon Tower
Want enigmatics for fodder? Go run fane/bot

Bams on general have [filtered] as [filtered] drops and are a waste of time to farm them. In the amount of time it takes to kill one bam you could have killed 20 times more regular mobs and gotten more loot. If the drop rate is too low for these materials people will just go back to getting them the way they were before. Dungeons.

I think they might have just used the wrong word. Unless they are talking about beast hearts... which are rare and drop out of ebon tower and labyrinth of terror.

Well putting more craft materials in the field is probably one of the steps to a different crafting system. Imma go kill some lvl60 bams/world bosses tomorrow and see what they drop, and hope its not crap from ET/LoT........

Those aren't the materials that will solve the crafting crisis.

I thought about Beast Hearts but they're not used for any T13 crafting.

As I said, Fanesteel/Dream Bindings are Superior quality so I don't think it'll be that. It feels like too much of a reward to get those sorts of materials for killing BAMs.
