标题: Item of Ulduar:Soulscribe [打印本页] 作者: zwj703 时间: 2009-4-27 12:50 标题: Item of Ulduar:Soulscribe Here's our first Ulduar item, and it is an excellent caster dagger.
Name: Soulscribe (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDB)
Type: Epic Unique Main-hand Dagger
Damage/Speed: 88-283 / 1.80 (103.3 DPS)
Attributes:
+54 Stamina, +49 Intellect. These stats and the name point to Warlocks as the main users of this dagger, but really, given the rest of the stats, almost any caster could get some good use out of this thing. The main thing it's missing is Spirit, so if you count on that, you might want to look elsewhere, but this is Ulduar gear: chances are it's an upgrade no matter who you are. Gallery: Phat Loot Phriday
Improves crit rating by 28 and haste by 48, again both nice for almost anyone.
And improves spellpower by 550. Tasty.
A "scribe," of course, is someone who writes, so a "soulscribe" would be an instrument for writing or erasing souls. Very powerful.
How toGet It: Drops from the 25-man Yogg-Saron (in normal mode, not hard mode). So make it to him (good luck with that one), down him and win the roll, and the dagger is all yours. Yes, we're a little early on this one -- most guilds won't be seeing Yoggy for a few more weeks yet, at least, much less finishing him off. But we figured that if we're going to start up doing Ulduar gear, we might as well start with something good. Think of it as the carrot at the end of your guild's raids through Ulduar. Getting Rid of It: You probably won't until Icecrown, if our suspicions are correct. While there may be another 25-man raid in the "secret" content patch, we're guessing it'll be more of a daily/reputation/5-man content patch kind of thing rather than a full in-game raid, which means that the next big round of raiding gear will likely come from Icecrown. But when those days come, you'll be able to vendor this for 22g 58s 82c, or disenchant it into an Abyss Crystal.作者: zwj703 时间: 2009-4-28 10:55
I've been looking at the Noblegarden items for awhile now, since they first showed up on the PTR. For some reason, it never hit me until I saw it on live realms how cool one item in particular actually is. For five chocolates you can buy your own Noblegarden Egg, which allows you to lay a Brightly Colored Egg. Yes, that's five eggs for one egg of your own, which is a pretty horrible exchange rate.
What's so cool about it? They're the exact same eggs you've been picking up that whole time, except that you can set them out. You can loot them right away for an added chance of whatever loot may be in them, but I'm not sure why you'd do that, except for possibly completing Dressed for the Occasion/Sunday's Finest. What makes it better is that other people can loot them.
What makes that so great? If you can get an organized crew (and their alts) together, you can set up your own Noblegarden Hunt for your guild or your friends and family. Laying an egg has a 1 hour cooldown, so each of you will only be able to set out one egg each, but with a sizable group that might not be too terrible. A brief hunt, but you can make it exciting! Feralas, perhaps? Icecrown? Theinterior of a cleared Ulduar? Just take it far, far away from busy cities or hubs. You don't want to lay an egg out in the Stormwind Trade District. Joe McMullet will loot that thing in a flash, and that's no good.
I don't know for sure how long the eggs stick around, but it seems a fairly long time. I managed to set one up in Darnassus and it was there for at least 45 minutes before a nude level 1 Druidess named Sxxybabby ground it to dust beneath her haphazardly-thrusting hips of feral fury. Hence my suggestion that you take your hunt away from major cities. Very far away.
I'll be honest here, though. The one hour cooldown on these is pretty lame and sort of limits the size of what you can coordinate. I'd love for Blizzard to hotfix the eggs to have no cooldown, or a much shorter cooldown. Being able to throw our own egg hunts (in an easier way than rotating alts to get 10 eggs down) would add a lot of extra flavor this this event, rather than it just being an egg (and achievement) grind for a day then forgotten forever. Drop the cooldown, and expand upon the concept for future holidays. This could be good stuff.
