Another Amazing Trinket!

March 11th, 2009

And this time it is useful! Very useful, indeed!

Monday morning I snuck into Elwynn Forest to see the vendors at Darkmoon Faire in order to turn in my Nobles Deck and receive my Darkmoon Card: Greatness. This lovely little trinket boosts my Agility by 90 on equip, with a chance any time I do damage of boosting it another 300!

This card comes in three other “flavors”, boosting Strength, Agility or Stamina on Equip, but all will boost your top stat of these four by 300 when it procs.

So, how do you get one of these, I hear you asking. Well, you can purchase a Nobles Deck from players, or put together one of them yourself. The deck is assembled by collecting the Ace through Eight of Nobles, and then using one of the cards to form the deck. The cards themselves can be dropped by world mobs or bosses, and can also be created by Inscriptionists (Inscriptors? Scribes?), but they are random when created so it is not wise to trust this method (plus the mats are expensive).

The deck sells for about 9 to 12k on my realm, and the individual cards for a little over 1k each, with some being more expensive than others. I bought mine a card at a time as the deck was expensive compared to the cards.

Next up: Mirror of Truth, as soon as I have enough Emblems!

Amazing New Trinket!

March 6th, 2009


Or is that amusing?

While I was doing my daily quests in onslaught harbor, I happened to get a very interesting drop from one of the Gryphon riders. It was the first time I had ever gotten an epic world drop. However, it turned out to be more amusing than useful. Then again, amusing can be useful. :)

What I got was the Super Simian Sphere. This is a trinket that when used turns you into a gorilla inside a pink bubble! While there are no increases to any stats while this occurs, the reactions from the people around you are worth far more than any stats could possibly give you.

This effect lasts for five minutes, and has a one hour cooldown. I cast it once while I was still in onslaught harbor just to see what it looked like. The next day I ran an instance with my Guild (Utgarde Pinnacle), and I kept it in my bags but did not wear it. Once we killed the final boss, I quickly switched out my trinket and used my Super Simian Sphere. The reaction was well worth it!

One of my Guild mates got a screenshot of me as a monkey on the throne of King Ymiron, with my trusty cat at my side. Once I talk him into forwarding the picture, I will post it for all to see.

One day, I hope to have a large gathering of people in some major city all casting this trinket at the same time. If you happen to have this trinket, please comment and let us know your faction and realm. Let us amaze and amuse our fellow players with this awesome ticket :-)
