Winterspring Blood Sample (15)
Devout Bracers
  •  
Required Money: 20

Description

Well met, <class>. I've something that might interest you.

I have in my possession a set of armor much like the one worn by those of your profession, but of much higher quality. I'd be willing to trade the bracers for ordinary ones in exchange for a small favor.

The blood of the frostsabers and bears that inhabit Winterspring has properties I'm in need of at the moment. Bring me a sizeable sample of it along with the bracers and a small amount of gold. You shall find the effort worth your while.

Reward

You will receive:
Virtuous Bracers

Progress

Have you brought me what I requested of you, <name>?

Completion

Excellent! Let's perform the trade then. It's hard to part with this excellent armor, but I'm afraid I won't be needing it any time soon.

If you're interested in performing more work for me, I might be willing to give up the rest of the pieces.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 660 experience (39 60 at max. level)

The items you should collect before starting the quest chain

Obviously you need to collect the https://vanillawowdb.com/?itemsets&amp;filter=ta=1 D1 set of your class, the Helm and the Chest should be the last two items on your agenda, you can complete the whole quest chain even if you dont have them (they are the last reward for your troubles), Some items can be bought from the AH (the belt, the bracer and the gauntlets).The quest https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8961 Three Kings of Flame will send you to Silithus to kill one of the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15206 The Duke of Cynders, to summon him you need a
  1. 1 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20531 Scroll: Signet of Beckoning (the fire one), to create a https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20432 Signet of Beckoning: Fire
  2. one set of the https://vanillawowdb.com/?itemset=492 Twilight Trappings Set,
Most probably you wont find neither the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20531 Scroll: Signet of Beckoning nor the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20432 Signet of Beckoning: Fire on AH. There are two ways to work around this problem.

Minimum is over 100 gold. BUT WAIT ITS NOT OVER YET! Honestly I will say farming the Tier gear was a flipping pain and next to that was this quest here. Obtaining the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=21989 Cinder of Cynders from the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15206 The Duke of Cynders is easily the most annoying part of the entire D2 set quest line. Here's the entire frustrating process:

1. Obtain 4 sets of Twilight Cultist trappings. https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20408 Head / https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20406 Shoulder / https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20407 Chest
2. Summon 3 templars from 3 Lesser Wind Stones.

PART 2 CONTINUATION!

3. They each drop an https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20513 Abyssal Crest. Take those 3 to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15282 Aurel Goldleaf.
4. She will offer you the repeatable quest ""https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8333 Medallion of Station"". Combine the 3 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20513 Abyssal Crests with 1 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=14344 large brilliant shard to receive the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20422 Twilight Cultist Medallion of Station.
5. Wearing the medallion with your fourth set of trappings, summon a duke from a regular Wind Stone.
6. Unless you have the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20432 Signet of Beckoning: Fire (see below), PRAY. You have a 25% chance of summoning the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15206 The Duke of Cynders.
7. Repeat steps 1-4 if no https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15206 The Duke of Cynders spawns. (Yes that is correct, what your thinking is true, you do the first 4 steps indefinitely/repeatedly until you get the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15206 The Duke of Cynders to spawn.... Grrrr)

OR YOU CAN DO THIS (But not recommended however it is a viable option)

The first way (tho less likely to achieve) is to see https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15183#comments Geologist Larksbane whom starts the quest https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8284 The Twilight Mystery, and do the follow ups (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8285 The Deserter, https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8279 The Twilight Lexicon) and you should be able to see a new quest, https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8323 True Believers. This last quest is repeatable (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8324 Still Believing), by handing in several pages of https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8319 Encrypted Twilight Text you get a https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20469 Decoded True Believer Clippings in your mail in 10-12 hours, these bags have a very-very low chance to drop the Scroll: Create Signet of Beckoning. All 3 quest count towards Loremaster, however the repeatable https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8324 Still Believing does not.

If the auction house is lacking Twilight Cultist trappings https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20408 Head / https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20406 Shoulder / https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20407 Chest and you're forced to farm them off the Twilight Cultists, be sure to turn in the https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8319 Encrypted Twilight Text (10 at a time) to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15194 Hermit Ortell Alliance / https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15306 Bor Wildmane Horde to have a whopping 4% chance of getting the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20531 Scroll: Create Signet of Beckoning (Fire), from the bag of https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20469 Decoded True Believer Clippings he sends you in the mail several hours later. If you should be so lucky, then you'll need to combine the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20531 Scroll: Create Signet of Beckoning (Fire) with 1 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20520 Dark Rune (drops in Scholomance) and 5 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=4625 Firebloom to create the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20432 Signet of Beckoning: Fire.

NOTICE: The https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20513 Abyssal Crest, like the Twilight Trappings https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20408 Head / https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20406 Shoulder / https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20407 Chest, are consumed once you summon a Templar, or Duke.

So, lessons learned:
1. Check the AH several times a day for https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20513 Abyssal Crests,Twilight Trappings https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20408 Head / https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20406 Shoulder / https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20407 Chest, https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20531 Scroll: Create Signet of Beckoning, and https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20432 Signets of Beckoning, and https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8319 Encrypted Twilight Text. This will save you considerable time.

~*~OPTIONAL QUEST~*~ IF you have NOT done this quest back in PRE TBC then you new low levels or 80s will notice killing The Beast opens up a quest called:
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5047 Finkle Einhorn, At Your Service! - from the NPC https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10776 Finkle Einhorn - This comes from the PG-13 1994 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109040/ Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (First movie) The famous quote of this movie refering to Einhorn is: ""What the hell does Lois Einhorn have to do with Ray Finkle? Come on, think! Finkle and Einhorn. In it together. How? Why? Alright! Here we go! Answer's right there! Just gotta get some blood to the brain! Finkle and Einhorn! Einhorn and Finkle! Finkle and Einhorn! Einhorn and Finkle!
[has been trying to figure out a connection between Lt. Lois Einhorn and football player Ray Finkle, when he sees his dog's fur overlapping Finkle's hair in a photo]
Oh, my god! That's it! Einhorn is Finkle! Finkle is Einhorn! Einhorn is a man! OH MY GOD! EINHORN IS A MAN!
[Ace remembers how Einhorn kissed him and the pieces fall into place]
[Ace heads to the bathroom to throw up]
And then CRAMS massive amounts of gum in his mouth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Carrey Jim Carrey = Ace Ventura

Also a little extra goody some dont know: Skinning Knife = https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=12709 Finkle's Skinner and Mace = https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10776#comments Finkle's Lava Dredger , and for some reason at turn in I got 2 points counteded towards Loremaster.

Part 3 CONTINUATION!

25) https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8994 Final Preparations - Here you will need: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13512 Flask of Supreme Power (Alchemy, https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13463 Dreamfoil (7), https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13465 Mountain Silversage (3), https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13468 Black Lotus, https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=8925 Crystal Vial = 2 (two) flasks from one recipe - https://vanillawowdb.com/?zone=1583 Blackrock Spire Dungeon quest. The https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=22138 bracers are best farmed in the room before the first boss in Upper Blackrock Spire. Kill, run out, reset instance, rinse and repeat. Much HIGHER drop rate for some reason. Lower I did and got 10 only on several floors, compared to the 15 I got in such small area in Upper. Counts towards Loremaster
26) https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8995 Mea Culpa, Lord Valthalak - Summon Boss: https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=16042#comments Lord Valthalak - https://vanillawowdb.com/?zone=1583 Upper Blackrock Spire - First things first. The https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=22056 Brazier of Beckoning NEEDS to be placed near the entrance of the barricades as you go into the room where https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10430 The BEAST boss is. Kill the hound/dog/mutt, and then proceed to exit the room but dont fully leave. As you turn around and face the room as if your walking in on the left side of the wall on the ground is some BONES with red meat on it. Sort of in front of the bones on the ground is where you place the brazier.
NOTICE: THE https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=22056 Brazier of Beckoning IS VERY VERY PICKY. Keep trying.
Use your amulet on his corpse. A beam will channel onto his corpse, and his spirit will appear. You get the quest from him to return to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=16033 Bodley. After you accepted the quest from his spirit though, my toon still remained there channeling the beam from the amulet, and would not stop channeling. My toon could still move however, so I moved my toon out of the room, and once I broke LOS of the corpse, the channeling stopped.
This boss will NOT drop like a brick some level 80s are used to. His health is low, but he has some serious resist, armor, defense or what not that myself (shadow priest) icc 10 heroic/25ICC gear, and a rogue with Heroic icc 25 gear got pooned on this boss (rogue was mutilate at the time). Rogue went combat and I went holy and had a mage in ICC 25 gear come the second time and fixed this issue on 2nd go round. For some reason the first attempt the rogue was controlled by the boss and killed me with some spell casting done on me. I was unable to move/cast in anyway. To secure this fight I suggest 3 people. They dont need to be OP, or even level 80. Just need numbers. The boss link above post can explain the bosses strat but that was back in the past, now it can be overpowered easily.
