One of the more interesting twists in the expansion is the introduction of two new, completely opposed factions: the Aldor and the Scryers. Players first entering Shattrath City are asked to choose one, and each has different rewards and recipes available. It's an intriguing proposition, and we'll probably see more effects of the decision (some have even speculated that eventually we'll have an Aldor vs. Scryer battleground, so Horde and Alliance will for the first time be able to fight side by side against players).
So this week on Phat Loot Phriday, we're covering a droolworthy Aldor weapon, and the Scryers will just have to sit back and be jealous. Next week, we'll switch. If you want more info on the Aldor/Scryer decision, WoWwiki is the guide to read.
Name: Auchenai Staff
Type: Rare Two-Hand Staff
Damage / Speed: 92-171 / 2.10 (62.8 DPS)
Abilities:
- +46 Intellect
- Improves spell hit rating by 19, spell crit rating by 26, and healing and damage by up to 121, so it's pretty darn amazing for almost any caster, especially damage-based
- Available only to people Revered by the Aldor faction
Getting Rid of It: Once you've got this thing, you probably won't lose it until you start rolling through the endgame instances in Outland. After you do find something nicer, though, a vendor will give you 11g 26s 53c for it.

Personally as a mage I rather use an one hander. You get a good one off Cavern of Time with 121 spell dmg and 8 hit. Couple that with a 21 spell dmg \ 21 crit off Mechanar you have a much better combo.
And to upgrade, you can get Blades of the Archmage from Honor Hold (exalted).

I know it's off topic- but since Blizzard has no immediate plans to allow players to learn new languages (ingame), side-by-side battlegrounds aren't so feasible just yet.
Orc: Grawwk Rawr rawr roah!
Human: What?
Undead: Blaech span splawsh raff.
Human: WHAT??

Warpstaff of Arcanum from the Botanica is better, free, and requires no rep.
