EU+US Deftkin belt isn't GFed

Eclipsis

Grandfathered
Hello 29s.

There's a leather agility belt available that offers a different stat distribution to the standard highlander girdle whilst also scaling well. It's called Deftkin Belt and despite what wowhead says, it isn't grandfathered.

It can be obtained from Befouled water Globe which drops from Tideress, a none elite water elemental which stands in the lake just below silverwind refuge.

This item has a competitive statline with other 29 items and for more balanced builds is a much stronger alternative than the PvP reward belt. I would run it on any more balance build of enh shaman or WW monk. The main reason nobody runs it is that when you go to wowhead it tells you it's grandfathered. So I made this post to raise awareness for this excellent piece of twink gear.

Ellipsis...
 
Havnt people known that for quite some time (a year plus) :p? not to bashxD

The majority found out when we started messing around gearing for 39s. Tbh I never seen anyone wear it and when I link it to people they always reply with. "But it's GFed". Hence the thread creating some awareness.
 
So does it drop from the mob or what I don't get it

Edit: It comes from the follow up quest given by the globe.

Pick up Quest http://www.wowhead.com/quest=25/simmer-down-now (You don't need to complete it, just pick it up)

Hand it in, and get quest http://www.wowhead.com/quest=824/jeneu-of-the-earthen-ring (which wowhead says is no longer in game, but it is)
 
Why would you "keep this on the hush"?

As I've said before and will say again now, not all, including my self, want to share everything with everyone. I see absolutely no reason for me in sharing with people that is just "leeching". Dont get me wrong, I dont mind sharing with people at all as long as I feel like they are contributing to the community themselves and I think a lot of people are feeling the same way. But in my eyes there is simply to many people on this website I dislike and is simply here to leech to make it worth it for me to just share with everyone.
 
Defias belt scales 9/7 I believe so deft kin may be better if we can confirm its scaling.

Deftkin Belt is 9 agility 10 stamina, so 2 agility 1 stamina is better than the 4 crit that deviate gives

Hell, for a WW monk I would prefer this belt over the 11 agility 4 stamina one.

To each their own I suppose. Some people are just naturally selfish. And some are naturally giving!

Have a wonderful day.
 
Defias belt. From the defias set. Scales 10agi 7 stam

Sorry, I misunderstood it as deviate belt.

Defias Belt is still absolutely useless, here's why.

Deftkin vs Defias is 3 stam vs 1 agility. If you prefer 3 stamina, use deftkin, if you prefer 1 agility you can get 11 agility 4 stam belt (which is 1 agility vs 3 stamina compared to defias.)

So, use either 11/4 belt or 9/10 belt, using defias is in the middle and an absolute waste of a perfectly useful item for a 19/20 on a 29.
