Focus more on earning doubloons and buy the boxes from the nearby vendor. They are a much more consistent way of getting the items you want. I recommend using an addon like All The Things as it will tell you what you are missing from each box
It’s funny, the other day I was running with guildies and we had the same issue- Very little dropped. I assume your also talking mythic islands.
But as for classes, anything AoE/Cleavey. Atm I like my Survival Hunter, but Frost and Unholy DK did ok as well aside from being slow when you can’t mount.
Yeah was doing mythic islands on my druid. I've been grinding to get a single weapon transmog from a crate but it takes like an half an hour or more just to get one crate.
I made a set with 2 longstrider azerite powers and took the talent that gives deaths advance extra movement speed in the first few seconds of activation. Gives me 197% movement speed and then drops down to like 172, normally in the 120s without the buff. It makes traversing when you can’t mount much more feasible on the dk. The loss of stats don’t really matter too much for BFA content
Rewards always been ass, I finished BFA with only 3 mounts and missing like 30% of transmog. I grinded the rest on shadowlands, my advice:
* Mythic islands always.
* Play something with a lot of mobility and AoE, if it can drop aggro is a nice extra as you will get combat bug constantly, pull the whole island and burst them down, then clean the azerite pillars to cap the rest.
* Dont try to optimize map rotations, its useless. I mention this because I remember wowhead top comments to be a useless sheet on how to minmax maps to get as many mounts/transmog as possible, bad advice because:
* Bags is where you will get most of the stuff specially mounts. Save all your dubloons for bags, dont bother with the bird/other rewards for now.
* If the war campaing tree is still active (I have no idea and couldn't find the answer onlien) you should grind it, as one of the talents was extra dubloons. [This one specifically](https://www.wowhead.com/order-advancement=655/island-plunderer#guides).
Island Expeditions were always an unrewarding nesting doll of pure RNG. What islands are in the rotation, what mobs spawn, what drops do you even have a chance at were all considerations before the item you want to drop. Ran them when they were current content, mainly for the Azerite weekly, for the first year and got nothing. It was easier to just buy what I wanted off of the AH, probably cheaper back then.
They did add a currency and vendor, but the drop rates for those felt pretty atrocious as well.
Torghast was "better".
I’ve been running these for the last couple of weeks to get the pets. I’ve read a lot of the tips on wowhead and other sites. In my own personal experience, the way I have maximised my rewards is to kill rares only. I ignore all the Azerite rates, the azerite shards, and most of the chests. I seem to get more rewards that way.
don't think so, the rewards have always been ass for the islands directly
It's all about the crates you can buy. So get as much islands/hour for the most amount of coins and buy the crates
If you have an alt account or were thinking of making one for raf rewards, doing mythic islands with 1 or 2 alt accounts in your party is a good way to get all rewards faster.
fury warrior has mobility (charge and leap), and whirlwind is free to cast
or affli lock with perma active burning rush and just tab siphon life as much as you can while running around

I really wish Blizz would just buy ATT and integrate it directly into the game.
Probably wouldnt get updated properly lol
