TBC Items

Elendril · 10/18/06, 2:14 PM

Just wanted to make a central thread for various TBC item links/discussions, since the existing ones seem to be focused on specific segments/aspects of the itemization. if you have any screenshots and such of TBC items, post them here!

of course, this thread is not without its alterior motive - i'm actually looking for TBC items to put into future WoW TCG sets since i've been mostly paying attention to quests while i've actually been playing the alpha :-P i know there's lots of cool items out there (especially ones with cool abilities/graphics), and i want to know which ones have caught peoples' eye...like the sweeping strikes polearm quest reward in nagrand that i cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of :(

thottbot beta is woefully sparse on its information. :-P i've seen lots of screenshots of things (and seen items myself in game) that aren't listed on there. i know lots of people come across items that are really cool, and i figured having a central location to look at them/discuss them would be valuable.

worldofraids.com has a few good item links on it (like the new crafted items and a few dungeon drops).

That weapon doesn't follow known budgets at all, does it? It's 26 ilvls higher than Gressil but only 15 more DPS. By comparison, going from CTS (lvl77) to Gressil (lv89) got you 15 additional DPS.

I don't think Thottbot has the item levels correct, I believe it's still calculating the ilvl with the old stamina formula so items with a lot of stamina are showing up as much higher in ilvl than they should.

wow, socketed necks for pvp rewards? that's very cool.

i like the powerful gems as rewards, too. it's the sort of thing you can get value out of again and again, rather than stuff like the TUF that you buy once and you're done with it. it's the repeat purchase model TCGs and MMOs thrive on :-P

I believe this item used to be considerably more powerful, but was toned down in the past week or so. Perhaps leaving the ilvl unchanged was an oversight as its stats were adjusted.

Same DPS as the smithing 1hs listed on WorldofRaids.com. From the screenshot I saw of it, it looks to be one of the PvP rewards.

Its exactly the same as every other arena reward weapon.

As well as crack dealers, but we all know which of the three is the least dangerous to ones health and pocket book.
