Patch 2.4 has been upon as for nearly a week now, and that’s lengthy abundant for Wowhead to have collected dependable input on some of the interesting new things in the patch. Here’s what I’ve noticed, leading off with what is (to my mind) the most interesting piece of info:

• Shattered Sun Supplies have a 10% chance to contain a Badge of Justice
• Wretched Fiends and Wretched Devourers each have a 30% chance to drop Mana Remnants for “Arm the Wards.” Though that is probably reduced a bit by players who kill the Wretched without having the quest, I think 30% is close to the true drop rate (based on my own observation).

I guess that’s it, really; the numbers on Bash’ir Phasing Device, Nether Residue, and Sunfury Attack Plans are hopelessly diluted by old and non-quest notes, so we may never know true drop rates for those. Still, I’m glad to know about that 10% chance for a Badge. It’s lower than I’d thought it would be, but I can understand why they would want to construct it take a while for solo-only players to earn awesome epics.

For comparison, I checked WOWDB and Thottbot. WOWDB gave 9.2% for the Badge, which is similar, and 98% (!) on the Mana Remnants, which is clearly wrong. Thottbot says 9% on the Badge, and 27% on the Remnants.
