When I got Terestian's Stranglestaff. My guild had been in Karazhan for a few months (we did actually fail that bad) and it had never dropped. After a rather inteteresting downing it dropped. I had never jumped in my chair in excitement before and clapped hysterically (imagine that). I was well happy. Not only was it a strictly dps staff for me it looks bloody awsome and it moved! I immediatly got Savagry on it after the raid (I strongly belive that agility wasn't that vital for a druid dps) and I still love my savage looking squid stick with its evil beak dripping glowy blood even to this day. Shame I rerolled.
the epic drake in heroic cot for sure!
The emerald sword from Sunken Temple.
The day i found wowhead was the most epic thing ever. period.
Back in my raiding guild before BC, I'd been showing up on time for weeks straight for our weekly Onyxia attempts, but of course the time the guild downed her happened to be the one day I was out of town and couldn't make it. So, much later, when we were in BWL, I was showing up again week after week for our attempts on Nefarian, once we'd worked our way through the rest of the raid, and I was pretty set on making up for missing our Onyxia kill by being there for another significant guild first.Sure enough, this time I was there to see all of the hard work pay off for the first kill, and the screaming on teamspeak was deafening. What did I win? Just my share of the gold he dropped. I didn't have enough DKP to compete with some of the others in the 40-man raid, but that was the most epic gold I've ever won!
February, 2006. Goon Squad was looking for something interesting to do. Molten Core was on farm, the carebears were snuggled safely in their holes, and we hadn't yet figured out how to kite the Theramore, Ratchet, and Auberdine Alliance Flightmasters all the way to the Barrens and hold them for Ransom for several hours before a GM struck them down. But that was the future. We needed something new, here, in the NOW. Dipex delivered in a way that has since gone down into lore (until Blizzard fixed it with the following patch UUUUGHH).Our hero lord and master Dipex who spends way too much time on dumb lore quests had just gotten himself the old Mark of Shame debuff from failing the Test of Lore quest for some reason probably because he wanted to experience the lore more than once. So Dipex is in the Undercity to buy Mooncloth or something for his stupid cloth crap but that's not important WHAT IS IMPORTANT is that Dipex discovered he couldn't right click on the auctioneers without attacking them like they were hostile mobs! Of course, dear reader, you and I all know this well and good nowadays but back then this was a breakthrough.We now knew what we were gonna do that night. We were gonna go tell Thrall we'd had enough of his stupid orc shaman crap. It was time for a regime change.That night, a full 40-man raid plus a few hangers-on went to the Undercity to demonstrate its utter lack of familiarity with the Warcraft universe. We all got the debuff and proceeded to port our way to Orgrimmar, where we engaged our own leader in glorious battle and put his head atop a pike for all the carebears to see. Perhaps the funniest thing about it was watching Tradechat erupt with weak attempts to mount a resistance, but all they could was half-heartedly heal their dying Warchief. Soon, Thrall was dead, and we ll took turns sitting on his throne, reveling in the fact that we had accomplished something truly EPIC.All 100% true. Goon Squad was mentioned on Wowhead in the comments section for this quest over a year after the fact as having been the first guild to kill its own faction leader. THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE.-------------------------------------Epilogue: There is unfortunately no video of this specific event, but this was not the last Thrall would hear of us. Some time later we decided to reunite both him and Cairne with their clandestine human lover Jaina by kiting her all the way from Theramore.I can sense you wondering "But Brostradamus, what about the PURPZ you don't get any PURPZ from killing a leader!" To that I say only this: The tears that fell from the pubbies' cheeks like droplets from an exploding Water Elemental as we accomplshed the thought-to-be impossible were PURPZ enough.
The most epic I ever got was when I had just dinged 60 back in vailla wow, my first raid ever.And the olny epic that drops was nightslayer bracer.. Then comes the shiver all the way through your spine while waiting for roll-countdown.You roll 99 :D
I was doing Zul ' Farak with a few friend, we were randomly killing those mobs. Sudenly th Nightblade DROPED! i was soo excited. everyone rolled and i got a 43 , i was like NO!but then the rest of the group got 37,2 ,15, 41 and i got sooo eccited!i was a ble to sell it for 250gold hehe
The most epic item drop I've ever had is, without question, when I was just recently out farming in Winterspring for the Arcanite Dragonling Schematic. After spending a good portion of my day out there, I happened upon a Mature Blue Dragon Sinew! Imagine my surprise at finding such an item with an almost impossible drop rate!The drop rate is so impossible that you would have to be more crazy than Donni Anthania (that Crazy Cat Lady) to even attempt to farm it this way, as opposed to killing a certain boss that drops it fairly regularly.Clearly, the only thing more (arguably) epic than this would be to find a raid group for Molten Core so that I could pick up an Ancient Petrified Leaf to complete this most-epic of quests.The search continues for the Arcanite Dragonling Schematic.
The most epic loot I've got has to be when I finally got Earthwarden on my druid, it was the first meaningful epic I got on him that kind of set me in motion to go on and tank end-game
