Dulled Shiv. Much better than my Teir 7 gloves. ;)
This game has given me so many "epic" drops that its difficult to narrow them all down and pick my favorite. Each one of them is special in their own way and has contributed in the stunning experience WoW has not only offered me, but offered millions. But one in particular gave me not only a new companion but also gave me a giant WoWhead brain along as well.I am a pet lover; so many can sub a different word in for lover but we'll stand politically correct here for the sake and respect of this wonderful website. :)Exactly one year ago, I was organizing my bank (sure everyone can relate to this) in shatt when I noticed this small sludge, ooze covered, green slimy thing crawling along the floor following a hunter around the Aldor bank. I stopped everything I was doing, closed my bank, and followed the green goo all around the bank. He was so cute (and smelly) that I immediately messaged the owner of this wonderful pet to get the details on what/where/how I can get my Pally hands on one. She was so kind to explain how she was able to obtain one and encouraged me to look it up on WoWhead to get more detailed info on the best place to farm for one. "WoWhead?" I asked her. She seemed a bit surprised at first but understood that I had not heard of the site. With such enthusiasm she explained what this site was about and examples of when/where/how/why to use it. I was in awe. I couldn't believe how much detail she said this website gave about everything in Warcraft. I was also stunned because I considered myself a hardcore player (epiphany for sure was soon to follow). It was almost like opening a new and exciting chapter in your favorite book that keeps the story alive and flowing. I thanked her, I wish I could remember her name, for her helpfulness and immediately tabbed out and discovered this wonderful website with a plethora of information.My first search on WoWhead was "Disgusting Oozling." And BOOM THERE HE WAS! The website was so user friendly that I was easily able to navigate through the tabs to discover comments made by other players looking to find the same information or looking to share what they knew about the pet. I was so happy as I read each comment other players left on what they believed to be the best method of gaining this lovely pet. I searched through all the opinions and compiled them to find my best idea. The Weeping Caverns seemed to be a popular farming spot for this guy so I tabbed back into the game, took the portal to IF and hopped on a flight to WPL.I was ready to farm. I consider myself to be pretty patient, I can farm the life out of herbs/ore in this game so I was not only mentally ready for this endeavor but I was also so anxious as well. I got to the cave, tabbed back out to check WoWhead again to make sure I was at the right place and farming the right mobs and tabbed back in and went to work. I seem to agree with everyone else who posted comments about the Weeping Cave that it is arguably the best/easiest place to farm for this little guy. The respawn rate is good and the ratio of mobs needed to kill is also arguably the best. I farmed, and farmed, and farmed, and farmed and farmed some more.Like I said before, I'm normally a patient person but this was the first time I farmed a pet(I admit I bought the whelps from the AH because I stumbled across them as I was AH surfing) so I wasn't sure how dedicated you had to be in order to achieve this goal. I didnt give up however. I farmed and farmed and farmed some more. Days went by. Nights went by. A week went by and no pet. I did more searching on WoWhead about this and it seemed normal that it would take so long, they explained how it was a drop within a drop. So I kept farming. Then one saturday morning I logged on and went to work(I would even log out in the cave). I gathered up my first set of mobs and concecrated-so easy with a pally :). I seemed almost robotic up to this point. I would auto-loot, search my bag if I obtained an "ooze covered bag," and click to open it. It was almost 2nd nature to me to just keep going. My first set of mobs blessed me with 2 bags. I opened the first and got nothing exciting, ooze if I remember correctly. I clicked on the 2nd bag and it auto-looted the items within the bag. I went on my way further down the cave to gather up my next group when I did a double take at my chat box. "You recieve Item: Disgusting Oozling." My heart almost stopped. I couldnt believe it. I did it, I GOT MY OOZLING! I sat back in my chair and let out a huge sigh lol. It was hard work in my honest opinion, for those who have farmed something similar to this for days/weeks on end you have my respect and admiration for your determination. To this day this is by far my favorite pet, and I have so many, and we have something in common. We both like ale :).The companions that have joined me throughout my WoW experience have given me another avenue of enjoyment along with the obvious questing/dungeons/pvp options. They are my friends, buddies, what better word than companions. This story of what I believed is my most "epic" drop is two fold. Not only did I gain my version of an epic drop but I also gained "EPIC KNOWLEDGE!" Thank you WoWhead for being so informative and user friendly.I have to give kudos to a special website that helped me discover all the different pets this game has to offer, along with WoWhead(and I learned of this site from a comment left on WoWhead), http://www.warcraftpets.com/ is a community for pet lovers to enjoy a common theme together, I recommend it to those who are also pet enthusiasts like myself. :)Cheers!-Aliz
Our guild's first defeat of Ragnaros. Ton of our fighters were down, but we kept the struggle up just long enough to beat another wave of his flame minions. It's an adrenaline rush as you're trying to push for that last bit of health to be gone before the inevitable wave of death you know is coming.
I, a resto shaman, had recently joined a raiding guild near the last few months of BC that had cleared to Illidan once. I thought I would not get my dream set, a full (look; could exclude legs) tier 6 set. I really wanted it just for the looks. It looked extremely epic and that became my goal for BC. After the fifth downing of Illidan, I was actually rewarded to t6 chest to complete my goal. It was an incredible feeling to get the tier 6 that i had made my goal in BC. I really enjoy being int he guild and have many good friends in it now in wotlk. The tier 6 chestpiece for shamans was my most epic loot.
Back in the day, when I was a just a little level 50 gnomeling, somebody linked the voidheart helm in trade. I clicked it, tried it on, and I was awestruck! It was the coolest looking helm I'd ever seen. I'd decided then that eventually, no matter what expansion we were on, I'd get that helm. Time goes by with no real luck, but I never gave up. On the last Kara badge run my old guild did before it completely fell apart my friend couldn't go. He asked me to go in his place, which of course I accepted. We finally got to Prince and my precious hat token dropped! Sure, I didn't have to out-roll 2 other classes. Sure, it wasn't that big of an increase for my dps. But that flight to the badge vendor was the most glorious flight I ever flew.
Lawbringer Legplates. Something sexy about your first piece of Raid Tier Gear. Epixs! Must have been third or fourth in DKP and when they finally dropped the pallies above me weren't on that night :)
