charged gear?

I have known a few twinks that NEVER got the one they were after, despite trying for years.



Personally i have a stam one a str one and one 7 stam 6 str bear one, so I only need one more str one and two 7 str 6 stam ones!
 
Well after bout 12 hours of play time and 15-20 min ques, 2 rings dropped, agil/dodge I greeded and the monkey, I needed. Guild from same realm all needed on it and I lost, offered 500g for it and didn't get it.

Put together a real ID group of twinks and go for it, just make sure that you are all there for a different ring, remember a good tank and a competent healer can get a run over with in about 8 minutes, so it's actually faster than getting an 85 to run you.



Bringing along 5 people who are after different ring's also decreases the number of ring's you waste, god knows i used to see so many eagle/bear/monkey/whatever rings go to waste because the twink i was running didn't need em.
 
My brother got his perfect monkey ring AND perfect Emissary cuffs in probably 100 runs or so. Really wish his armory stayed updated, Pwnasaurusrex was no joke one of the best geared 29 rogues in the bracket :-/ He even had a full dodge set including rings AND a dodge helm from back in the day. Full AP set, etc. etc.
 
So far i've only seen spirit and stamina ring drop and that's after 25-30 runs.. A little tip is to farm for ambassador title while farming for your charged rings. that way your time isn't completely wasted cuz you'll have a cool title and a lot of mounts to choose between :) gl
 
Charged gears are one of the worst farming experiences I've heard of, beyond Revelosh and (at the time) Sunken Temple. Frankly, I wouldn't have even attempted it (and I'm rather ridiculous when it comes to finishing a gearset), but had the unbelievable luck of the exact 7/6 Eagle dropping while still leveling my mage to 29, and won the roll.



In other words, it's a complete crapshoot, old-school DMH style. I got mine before I even considered doing actual runs, and others never got theirs after hundreds of runs.



The only thing I can tell you for sure...gnomer sucks. $@%# gnomer.

<in and out in 8 minutes, alliance or horde, get at me on real id.
 
worst farm for me was rivendares deathcharger pre-nerf. had somewhere around 600-700 runs before i finally got it and that was considered fairly soon, there were plenty of folks who had well over 1k and no mount. ill never step foot in that instance again.



havent really tried for a charged gear for any of my toons, maybe ill hate that farm even more.

...I don't think I've done 700 runs on all my twinks combined, for all their gear. Maybe 200 total for my three 29s, 100 for my 39, 100 for my 49, and 200 combined for the rest 59 and above (that's five more twinks), including raids. And I'm tenacious about completing my gear. So wow, 700 runs.



Franchi, 100 runs at 8 minutes a run is 800 minutes, or just over 13 hours. I think I built my Horde 29 shaman, professions and all, in 16 hours /played. Maybe it was 24...can't remember. It's cool of you to offer gnomer runs; I'm just really glad none of my 29s need them.

He obviously PANTS'd him. We all know how embarrassing that is.
 
Eagle gears are by far the dumbest thing to try to farm.

I'd happily add BRD Coffer-jewelry to that list (and now that from what I heard the keys have to be used in the same run as they drop as they disappear the moment you Zone out, I shudder to think how awful the grind now must be). Revelosh isn't too bad as it's the first Boss and quite possibly soloable (was during WotLK, and from others I heard he's currently at 39 perfectly doable as well.)



On my (P2P) toons I had about 80 Gnomer runs combined, during which three Charged Gears dropped, one Of the Owl and two Of the Bear (the ones I was looking for). One of those was needed away by a Rogue, the other by a Mage, which is one of the reasons I enjoy Tanking in LFD so much, the crappy Loot system makes it all so very worthwile.

Gnomeregan was oodles of fun to me (up to and including the teleporting gizmo for Horde toons) , it's the Groups and other game features that made it less than fun at times.



Though of course I'm hardly the world's biggest Gnomophobe, and so pretty biased where Gnomes are concerned.



But to get back to the topic at large:

esp. for 25-29 I'd go for other Rings/Jewelry instead, it turns out 4.0.3. offered alternative bread-crumbs to several Questlines so e.g. Dancing with Grimtotems may no longer require you to trudge through the whole of southern Ashenvale and the Stonetalons anymore.
 
Worst Grind for me by far was the farming carapace fragments for my Scarab Lord back in classic. Back when the Silithids were elites and it took a group of 4 of us to take one down.



I have countless Monkey gloves from Revelosh, even perfect Nature's Wrath shoulders. Got DMH shortly after it's release. But, nothing compares to farming for the War of the Shifting Sands for sure. Group Grind and really had to try to do it. Died hundreds of times (in a group of 4). Just awful!



Did this 4 times w/o getting the item I wanted. This was just for one character also. I have done this on 2 other characters trying to perfect my gear.
