Rumored new Sunwell loots are pretty phat

Our good friend Boubouille at MMO Champion tipped us off to some of the loot items he expects to come out of the Sunwell. He doesn't say a source on these, but the guy knows his upcoming items, so here they are for your viewing pleasure. Plus, even if they don't actually turn out to be real, it'll still be fun drooling over them. Look at that Soul Render sword! And the Vial of the Sunwell trinket!

Hot stuff. Of course, the Sunwell isn't like Zul'Aman-- it's the new endgame. So if you haven't seen Illidan yet, and think Mount Hyjal is that level in the old RTS game, odds are you won't be carrying these around anytime soon. But it is cool to know that if this stuff is real, we'll see some records broken in patch 2.4.

"pretty phat" is redundant

Not at all.

I wonder about that trinket, it looks pretty involved for just a trinket, plus I can't see how someone would know how much "Holy Energy" is accumulated. Also, would Holy Energy be capitalized? That all seems pretty un-Blizzard-like, but if it's real then it's pretty cool.

The trinket seems like it could be really Imba (Charging it up before hand then just drinking up to full mana).
They'll probably show numbers on it for the amount of holy energy (Maybe it'll have other uses for the gear in this place?)

How that trinket would probably work is that it would give you a buff called "Holy Energy" that stacks up to 20 times (2000 holy energy) and when you "use" the trinket, that buff is consumed and the heal is done.

the trinket sounds similar to the blood elf racial

Whoa! Here's hoping the Terrace Loot will be half as incredible. I could use some healer stuff with gem slots.

These are old and confirmed as fake.

Confirmed by whom?

icer said...

it's not fake loot but it was datamined from the PRT by someone i'm assuming from MMOChampion, in one of the post Boubouille said to someone "Early test versions for the grammar/spelling errors (I also had to rewrite all the tooltips to clean them and probably added a few errors by myself), original screenshot has been posted a few days ago if you want to check it (and you can actually remove the game in the background of item tooltips pretty easily)."

Actually, it was MMO Champion that decried them as fake.

Orno said...

looked at the melee weapons, not one axe =/ not even a fist weapon =( these are so fake. If you could see the tooltip we'd be seeing what the items looked like by now.

Lucas said...

Yeah, they wouldn't completely shut out enhancement shamans. Just _Almost_ completely.

Definitely.

RTFA - they're obviously going to have more loot available...

Ray said...

The Vial Of The Sunwell trinket seems a little to OP to be in the game. However, it's real I am getting that sucker!

Mmo-champion had these posted on their website a few weeks ago, this is old news and since they said they were fake that time, there's no reason to even talk about them. I personally label this topic as Fail.

Read the article. BB goes back on his word and says that they're in fact, not fake. MMO-Champion posted them first, then said it was fake, then said it isn't. Got it?

This isn't slashdot folks.

Worldofraids has a supposed 2.4 patchnotes on its forums.. looked somewhat believeable to me

1-22-2008 @ 3:53PM

tq said...

worldofraids.com confirmed fake

1-22-2008 @ 5:35PM

Pzychotix said...

Wasn't "Confirmed" or anything there. It was just slapped as "fake" by WoR on instinct.

Haste on a 2H seems sort of silly... why not just lower the attack speed on the weapon to start?
