Not sure if these have been posted, sorry if I missed it somewhere, delete if it's old news. Look real to me but I've never been great at spoting fakes.

Edit- Second link does appear to be fake.

The second screenshot has +hit and +crit % - it's critical strike rating and hit rating now.

The first one could be legit though.

The second pic (with the epics) is a known fake.

The first set of pictures is reasonable. I've seen screenshots of those mobs dead before, and I think one of the weapons was reported earlier.

The legendary bow also seems lackluster. So either the second image has early items stats before they came out with the crit raiting (and not to mention much higher DPS weapons in Naxx), or it is just fake.

Wow. When you consider the blues, and even "easy" epics, that players are running around in currently, those screenshots are really impressive. Apparently the gap is going to close considerably, and much faster than I know I was anticipating.

As mentioned the second link contains fake items.

First one looks legit. Most of the blue armor without gem sockets seems to have stat budget of approximately iLvl 89 blue under current system, though the armor values are lower. Socketed items have a lot less stats. That would mean blues equivalent to tier1 raid set right off the bat on TBC.

Interesting that the supposed rule about attack power & agi has been thrown out now. Both on those quest rewards and as part of that bandit suffix.

Hrm. Those leather boots are better than Bloodfang and close to Deathdealer.

AP and Agi on the same item (and, apparently, a common itemization setup) is great for rogues.

What supposed rule? I hadn't heard anything about one until you mentioned it.

The second image is so hilariously fake. Its not even the right font, and descriptions are written by a moron and its got +crit and +hit instead of Crit and Hit Rating.

The first one would have taken a LOT of work if it was a fake ;)

I guess that's a high 60-70 quest. The cloth shoulders are about the quality of the ZG shoulders.

There's always free cheese in the mouse traps, but the mice there ain't happy.

Yes, those blue leather boots are quite good, I am glad that blizzard will allow AP/agility on more items (also look at the green of the Bandit armor, almost as good as Nightslayer). I wonder what difficulty that dungeon was done at (Blizzard hinted you get better items if you increase the level of the dungeon).

I wonder how the socket bonus works (I guess you get it when the item has full sockets in it).

I would guess that you can put any type of gem into the colored sockets in an item, but only get the bonus if they are the corect colors for it.

I disagree, since the group that is taking the pictures is doing a 60-62 instance, so I think someone could do the quest @ 60. Those items just use the item budget well.

My guess was that if you use gems that matched the colours shown on the socket, you received the listed bonus.
