Breastplate of Chromatic flight Completion text

i dropped this on the gen forums, then thought maybe some of the readers here might be able to help,

ok so, i was reminiscing to a friend of mine how well some of the quests are written in this game, and i was recalling how moving the "completion" text was for the Brestplate of Chromatic Flight quest.

man i REALLY wish i could read that again. I know it sounds lame but it REALLY gave me a sense of accomplishment and i wish to god i had screenshot it.

does ANYBODY happen to have a screenshot of this they can transcribe for me?

Edit: Was being just as guilty as you were then. This is probably not where something like this should go. Thottbot.com and wow.allakhazam.com usually have full text transcriptions of quests. Maybe you should have a look there first.

thanks, already looked there :( they only have the quest text, they dont have any of the "completion" text. I went ahead and emailed blizz. cause i have NO idea how else im gonna see those words again.

edit:
i hear what yer saying, Northerner. i actually read the "Reward" text... then read it again, and was so moved by it i swear i almost teared up.. it went along the lines of

"This item will not make you stronger. it is YOU YOURSELF who are stronger for the trials you passed through to achieve it."

but of course it was much better written than that.
god knows why i didnt SS it, well at least i got this to remember it by,

a better bp graphic i have yet to see, stats are kind of waning though

That sir is why we tend to SS major events in our character's lives! No help to you of course but hey, I don't remember either and the text has likely changed since then anyhow.

I am so tempted to go on a rant about the fast-text mods but not even I could keep a straight face. Hell, I don't think Aradune could even defend that particular piece of garbage. (I do have an excellent defense of the read-a-book-while-medding thing though but I am afraid to even mention it).

I still remember when I got the carpcase after 110 ubrs runs I was in tears.
Those were the days.

I passed on the first carapace I saw to one of the other tanks as I was an armorsmith and figured he would need it more. Among the original four core tanks of the guild, as time went on I was the only one who lacked one. Then one day, long after I had sworn off that goddamned zone I agreed to tank for a PUG, and LO! for it did drop, and I won it with a decisive 98 roll. I was pretty stoked as we were working on rag at the time, and it also doubled to replace my Denver Broncos sad excuse for a DPS chest from Dire Maul.

Just vended it yesterday, along with my DI shoulders (some of the best-looking shoulders ever made, too bad they were green), despite all the sentimental value.
