The most epic loot I've gotten definitely has to be the Fiery War Axe I got on my draenei warrior while doing the quest Wanted! Marez Cowl. Unfortunately, my warrior was spec'd swords, so I sold it in the AH and bought a Nightblade with the money. For the next five levels, I owned just about everything I attacked. It was great. :)
It'd have to be farming for the Spaulders of the Righteous item in the TK instances.I went from neutral to exalted with the Sha'tar, doing the same three dungeons over and over again for around 2 weeks, just so I could get my uncrittable rating high enough for heroic dungeons. Then finally, at the end of the second week they dropped twice in a row. My druid friend was also kind enough to rub in the fact they dropped the first time he went and got disenchanted :(Just for them to be replaced on my first Kara run as well.Ofcourse old ugly shoulders wouldn't be as epic as a big bear though ;)
One day, the DAY after I ding'd 70, the epic BoE druid staff dropped from Heroic SV, and I won the roll with a 99.The group then tried to convince me to split the profits with them after we had agreed to roll on it. Seeing as this was still quite early in BC, and it was the first time the staff had been seen on the server, I walked away with 2500g.Helped me to buy my epic flying on that toon (Holy pally.) Without that boost, I doubt I would of had the motivation to ever farm the other 2500g :)
One of the coolest epic drops i've had was http://www.cuckhead.com/?item=28825 from gruuls. It was our first run as a guild and no one had been there before. The other tank in the guild graciously stepped down after winning the roll 97 to 23 and let me have it.I replaced it 2 days later with http://www.cuckhead.com/?item=33326.....lolz.
When i got my emerald whelp while casually farming before kara, i was happy :D
My very first epic loots actually came from PvP, since my gear at the time was pretty crappy and my guild was pretty far ahead of me. I spent forever farming honor and finally got the S1 fist and axe weapons. The dps increase over what I had was amazing, I'll never forget how awesome it felt to take down stuff so much faster.
I would have to say, the most epic loot I've ever gotten was my Dreadsteed. Still the coolest mount in the game in my opinion.
