HELL YEAH. LOOKS SICK

Comment by Semsesem

From a tank Warlock's perspective Glimmering Gizmoblade is very likely still better...
Visually this looks great, but its actually really bad, compared to what other classes get in P3. (Like this Tail of Eranikus up from Thermaplugg's Rocket Cleaver) Talk about a real upgrade!
And with the other options in P3, it feels like they tried to tailor this to tank Warlocks specifically...

Shouldve been at LEAST 23 overall spell damage and not only fire to be relevant.. A significant portion of our damage comes from shadow, especially next phase with instant corruption in deep demo spec.
Not to mention our survivability with Drain Life that also does not scale from fire spell damage.
Also 19 to 23 is such a small jump, its crazy they made it fire only.

Demonic Pact rune is also taking a hit from equipping this new weapon... There is just no way its better..

I cant imagine anyone really wanting this weapon.. Perhaps Fire Mages, but seeing as this only has stamina, they might opt for Spire of Hakkari Worship or Hubris, the Bandit Brander instead..

Im pretty disappointed with this weapon and wont even need on it, its in my opinion, overall worse than the p2 counterpart.
They really missed the mark with this one.

Edit: With the removal of SL for Meta Locks, this weapon is slightly better since every Warlock on the server is forced to play Destruction, thus using almost only fire damage... Its still a terrible weapon though and a tiny tiny upgrade from the previous p2 weapon.. Shouldve been better.

Explorer Imp & Fel Portal Locations Guide - https://youtu.be/VpF5N2mzLdY

1. Acquire an Explorer's Soul by defeating a mob while channeling Drain Soul.
-Explorer's Soul will teach spell Explorer Imp

2. Find a Fel Portal (known as Fel Rift, Fel Crack, Fel Sliver, Fel Tear, or Fel Scar depending on the level range)
-Summon Explorer Imp while standing near Fel Portal and right click to receive a dialogue option to send the Imp in to the portal.
-You will receive a buff called "Imp on a Mission" which will prevent you from summoning the imp again for a few minutes while he explores.

3. After 10-20 minutes the Buff will dissappear and the imp will reappear next to you, or you can resummon him.
-Speak to imp to receive rewards.

i got Modas Karkun in Azshara 33.15 81.30

Comment by Crimson15

0.15% drop rate from something which takes 20min+ (realistically like 30) so that like 340 hours to get on average, well guess warlock tanks can get the tanking weapon from Sunken Temple, oh wait...

Comment by Ruisku

This is total BS, i've been farming 2 WHOLE days for this. The rifts are too randomly timed and since the "imp on a mission" doesnt progress if ur offline and imp is on mission for 20 mins, u cant do anything while the imp is in rift. Cant really play with alts either cuz of the non progressive system while offline, not to mention the drop chance is 0.15%! Thats like winning a lottery 10 times on a row. I've gone through every rift location in Azshara and i've gotten:
16x Worldcore Fragments
1x Tor Kieldaz (trinket)
3x Rare Boes
12x Uncommon Boes
3x Coded Warlock Notes
1x Formula: Scroll of Spatial Mending
and other countless greys, potions etc. in over 30hours.

300 bags now. No dagger

Comment by Thgzfrlife

After sending an imp through a fel scar in Feralas, Azshara and/or Blasted Lands it can come back with a "Low Level" Otherwordly Treasure. Do we know if it is possible to obtain this dagger from one of those rewards or not? Seem to be getting the low level ones more often than "on level", and I am lvl 50.

Comment by Nofeartodayy

13 days 500 portals

4x zila gular
4x tor kieldaz

130 worldcore fragments
0x Weapon

Comment by Grksinner

501 portals. It dropped.

it does exist, keep grinding!

Comment by Nekronn

Been farming 6 hours a day for 2 weeks and have gotten nothing but so blue Fel Armor gear....What gives? Why put the warlock tank BIS weapon behind this explorer Imp?

Comment by Endyrtainment

Has anyone been able to receive this dagger at a character level lower than 50? Or does one need to be level 50 for it to appear on the loot table?

Comment by BlizzardSucks123

I got super lucky getting mine. I've done less than 30 fel scars. I was just farming eye of flame in blasted lands and would do a portal loop whenever the imp came back. I might never see that dagger from princess.... but thankfully I randomly got this :P

Comment by Timala

Can it be found in Feralas?

Comment by Rubz93

After sending my Explorer Imp into Fel Scars to loot Otherworldly Treasure for a chance at getting Modas Karkun, I noticed my Imp came back at different times.
I realized it was because I was killing NPCs while I waited for Explorer Imp to return. I then did some testing throughout multiple Fel Scar farming runs to get the values of how the Explorer Imp works while you have the Imp on a Mission buff.

The following is my findings:

If you just AFK then Explorer Imp returns in 20minutes.
Every NPC you kill reduces the wait time by 30 seconds.
The earliest the Explorer Imp can return is ~9 minutes and 30seconds.
The maximum NPCs you need to kill to get the full time reduction is 23 kills.

PS: I will eventually update the post to include what resources I created to make Otherworldly Treasure spamming as quick and efficient as possible.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting!,
Hadesfury - Crusader Strike

UPDATE: Thanks to Wowhead user YOLCINA, I was made aware that sacrificing your pet via Demonic Sacrifice (middle of Demonology Tree), you can also get credit for the kill that lowers the duration of your Explorer Imp returning.
So far through my testing it has shaved 1 minute compared to my original posting (returns in 8min and 30 seconds). I will keep testing to see if I can lower it more since other users have claimed that it COULD return in as early as 5.5mins, and I will report back with my findings.

Comment by Discz

215 Rifts and counting. this farm isn't the most engaging game play. xD

Comment by Sharmony

Made a Wowhead account purely to warn people of this grind and give the most updated information on how to most efficiently grind this, because believe me, when you get to Fel Scar 100+, there is nothing more you want than to see Modas Karkun or your desired item as quickly as possible. The OP by Rubz93 in this comments section is a great starting point for knowledge however I'll be diving more into how this grind works efficiently below, please check his original post in full for mostly correct information on the basic mechanics of the farm.

Addons
Following the basics outlined by Rubz93, here is all the information you need to do these as quickly as possible. Before you start, I'd strongly recommend getting:
• Weak Aura addon and the "Imp on a Mission Timer" Weak Aura - You can used the improved version i made with better features or the original one - this will provide you accurate in game timers for your imp and the kill timer.
• UnitScan addon. Make sure to do "/Unitscan Fel Scar" once installed to add Fel Scars to its tracking - this will scan for Fel Scars around you rather than using your eyes.

Spec and runes
You want to have a few things for this grind. Improved Drain Life allows for better health regain, Improved Life Tap allows for better mana efficiency and Demonic Sacrifice is fundemental to making this grind work efficiently. You want to be in Metamorphosis and have the Master Channeler rune active as well, allowing for 50% better life taps as well as a 1 click resource to regain health back through drain life. It's good as always to maintain Demon Armor for the health regen.

The Grind
Before we begin, please be aware that the most effective way to do this grind is pair up with someone (or more) - this can be either your own or a hostile faction as I'll explain further below. This having been stated, here's how you do this solo:
‭• Do this grind in Feralas, the portals are the closest together and mobs the lowest level to prevent agro'ing.
‭• After sending your imp through this portal you want to be in Metamorphosis and have Summon Imp already out to Demonic Sacrifice. You will then spend the next 4-5minutes casting Summon Imp, Demonic Sacrifice it every 10seconds and weaving Life Tap in the downtimes when not summoning.
‭• I'd strongly recommend summoning your last imp around 2-3minutes before your explorer imp returns, mounting and running to find the new Fel Scar location. If you find it quickly, jump back into Metamorphosis and finish off the timer, if not, you've just spared yourself of 2+ minutes running around without a timer ticking down!
• Remember, you can always utilize Master Channeler if you need a health, however to be most optimal you may want to consider using bandages from the First Aid profession.

As stated above, duo takes the grind to a new level (and gives you someone to talk to before you go insane watching many seasons of your favourite netflix show). With a duo, be that the enemy faction or a friendly player via duel we can utilize Master Channeler in the downtimes on them when we would normally life tap. This allows you both to sustain your health/mana pools longer due to the interactions between the amount of health drained, gained and the mana cost of the Drain Life spell, likely leading to no downtimes in your grind besides the running to find the new Fel Scar. Moreover, running around with more people reduces the competition for spawns as you all send your imps into the same Fel Scars, again making the grind much more efficient.

Conclusion and thoughts
I was lucky enough to get my Modas Karkun in around ~450 Fel Scars - this is statistically significantly below average. The grind is certainly awful and the drop rate of the weapon should be 1%, not ~0.15% - do not do this unless you really want this weapon in all honesty. My average Explorer Imp return was ~6minutes - this includes the running around to find a new Fel Scar, so ~10 Otherworldly Treasure per hour. I hope the information above can make your grinds much more efficient than mine was at the start before I learnt the ways of this farm! Best of luck!

P.S: Don't be that person and kill other Warlocks grinding this, just team up and run around with them as stated above to make all your lives better.
