5 Cool Items From Classic World Of Warcraft

With classic World of Warcraft only a few months away, a lot of information about the old game that was lost or forgotten is appearing again. This was the genesis of Azeroth, and programmers and writers were still ironing out the kinks. A few items appeared that were fun to use and looked cool but offered almost no improvement to your character. Remember when Shaman gear would drop in an Alliance raid or Paladin gear for Horde? Spirit stats for Warlocks? All those fun memories will come flooding back with this list of neat but useless stuff in classic World of Warcraft.To get more news about buy WoW Classic gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

This humble item was of grey quality, offered no buffs or extra stats, could only be used by one class, gave no benefits, and did literally nothing for your character beyond putting a red piece of cloth on their face... and every Rogue had to have one. The Defias Mask was a drop from a small group of hostile pirates and thieves that lived in the northern part of Westfall. You could get it as early as level 8 as long as you killed enough of them to get a lucky drop, but you had to be level 15 to wear it. Not only that, it was Bind on Pickup, so you couldn't buy them in the auction house. That was why the Mask was such a coveted and recognizable clothing item. The only way you could get it was by, well, getting it!

To add yet another layer to this, sometimes the journey to just find the area was an achievement itself. Alliance players might have to travel for a bit, but at least it was through friendly territory. The best Horde players could do was hike north along the coast of Stranglethorn Vale and sneak through miles of hostile lands and high-level areas. At level 15. A Horde player with a Defias Mask no doubt had to do several corpse runs just to get to Westfall, so Horde Rogues got even more respect for this way cool but totally useless badge of honor.

A casting class that carries a sword does seem pretty cool, but if they can't wear anything but cloth, then you have to avoid melee damage, and it stops making any sense. Warlocks are spellcasters, but they can and do carry swords, one of the more endearing quirks of the class. An item of white quality that a Warlock could get fairly early in the game, at level 28, and it looked great at first. Young Warlocks loved this thing, and why not? You could make it yourself, and look, it has a fire damage buff on it! Yeah, that's great, but you only have one fire spell at this level, and most of that buff is only for melee damage. A silly mistake or a bad joke? Likely some of both.
