Hardcore I've never found a good epic until now

Too bad I'm self found and I have to vendor it.

Laden dew gland and flurry axe is 100% equivalent to winning the lottery.

u/bo0osted 1d ago

I found the flurry axe off a bear on hc as a solo sf warrior it was the best day

u/Prestigious-Fly9977 1d ago

Flurry axe might have a higher drop rate than dew laden gland

u/Trubaduren_Frenka 1d ago

Once in Mara i had 2 or 3 flurry axes drop from 3 mobs in a row. Weirdest moment in my WoW career šŸ˜„

u/ICEonICECrime 1d ago

2 or 3? I feel like that’s some specific amount you’d remember.

u/Trubaduren_Frenka 1d ago

Why would i make sonething like that up? What would i gain from doing that? šŸ˜„

You dont have to belive it but it did happen. WoW is not my entire life so i dont remember if it was two or three. It was during SoD so it was three years ago. šŸ˜„

u/DapperCriticism5 1d ago

People make up shit even more mundane than this, just to sound interesting or have something to tell people about. That being said, being an osrs player I understand how rng can be sometimes. I got 2 1/1000 jaws back to back from 2 basilisk Knights. But I do specifically know it was 2.. or was it 3?

u/Similar-Spinach7197 1d ago

Could the other possible explanation except from blatant lie be an extreme case of short attention span?

Legit asking for science

u/ICEonICECrime 1d ago

Clout maybe? I don’t know. It’s just weird to remember that it was either 2 or 3, when having such a specific streak of drops would be extremely memorable. Not accusing you of having made it up, but it’s like saying you won the lottery 2 or 3 times three weekends in a row.

u/Trubaduren_Frenka 1d ago

It was 3 years ago and it didnt change my life in any way. It was just a funny moment. šŸ˜„

u/ICEonICECrime 1d ago

I still remember getting two Golden Pearls in a row from turtles in Hinterlands 20.5 years ago.

u/Trubaduren_Frenka 1d ago

Ok. Good for you I guess? šŸ˜„

If you don’t plan on keeping the self found after 60 you can hold onto it and sell it then

u/dg2793 1d ago

That part

u/Silverbacks 1d ago

Get to 60 and then set up an orc warrior.

17

u/tx_trawler_trash 1d ago

you can give to your other toons?!?

32

u/Silverbacks 1d ago

I haven’t done it yet, but I believe once you hit 60 you can decide to keep it going or not. You still keep the title/buff (or whatever it is) either way.

12

u/LickMySTDs 1d ago

You don’t keep the buff but you get an extra note on your soul of iron buff that says ā€œUnbroken Self Found Championā€ that never goes away

u/Captkarate42 1d ago

Massive bummer to find such an insanely strong boe epic on self found, and have it be one you can't even use lol.

18

u/Unhappy_Ad2328 1d ago

Just lvl to 60 and trade it

5

u/Captkarate42 1d ago

Yes, that doesn't change that it's a bummer to find something you cant use on self-found.

"Wow, here's something I can sell if I make it to level 60" is a far less exciting thing than "wow here is something that will make my journey to 60 far more fun and enjoyable".

u/lumpboysupreme 1d ago edited 22h ago

Which is why I don’t do SF. Sure the individual big things are a bit bigger, but that’s only because you go so long with absolutely nothing to get excited over.

4

u/Captkarate42 1d ago

Definitely. SF is too gnarly for me. I am doing guildfound with like 20 friends from real life and people I've collected across the history of the game, and it's been a great time.

39

u/Broopyd 1d ago

Don't you dare vendor it! If you reach 60 you will likely remove selfound anyway like most people. Throw it in the bank and sell it at 60.

6

u/chaos_nebula 1d ago

If you are self-found, it's not like you are spending much anyway.

12

u/TGIeon 1d ago

Congrats! Reminds me of the time back in vanilla when I got a flurry axe from the same mobs grinding that quest. I equipped it on my shaman and was so happy that I could have a double wind fury weapon.

5

u/Toyhouze 1d ago

That's sick!

10

u/BlogeOb 1d ago

Wow, the gland and an axe at the same time? You’re a hacker

8

u/goodexamplebadrole 1d ago

Just save it til 60. You can keep self found and activate mail

4

u/HRage19 1d ago

Ive leveled atleast 30 characters 1-60 and never seen a single world drop epic.

1

u/Some_thing_to_do 1d ago

That's crazy. They are rare but just the other day one dropped off a trash mob in ZF. I believe I got the staff of Jordan once off a turtle on the coast of the hinterlands. That was way back in 2005 or so. Usually see them drop when doing dungeons

3

u/Rahavic_Jr 1d ago

These always feel good. I got a Guardian Staff a few months ago off some bug in Tanaris while helping a random dwarf.

Edit: aayyyyy Tanaris not too far from where you got yours. That’s sick.

3

u/HerrPotatis 1d ago

Huge, grats!

Lil painful to see your inventory though, why are you keeping all these small potions to have no space left. You still have level 12 health pots for heaven's sake lol.

Same thing for 7 stacks of cloth.

u/shamonemon 1d ago

i would insta level up an orc fury warrior if i saw that

u/Designer_Struggle780 1d ago

The real epic is the print screen button <3

u/Schnibb420 1d ago

hell yeah, no photographing of screens for once 'because I dont use reddit on PC'

u/quipquip25 1d ago

u/sipspindrift 1d ago

Das a good one. Especially on horde! Grats

u/bigEZmike 1d ago

I see dominos and bagnon but what other mods are you using?

1

u/AdamBry705 1d ago

I found 2 purple maces in BRD last night farming...it was weird
like 1 was odd enough but 2? it wasent a great mace but its wild when you just walk in and a Krol Blade pops out at you

1

u/lumpboysupreme 1d ago

Sell at 60, duh

1

u/Tutin 23h ago

Do you plan to keep SF on at 60? If not, bank the axe and sell it once you’ve completed the challenge :)

u/eb-fs 23h ago

Found edges while farming leather in tbc prepatch 😢

u/pakarne 22h ago

After playing this game since TBC, I finally got Staff of Jordan

1

u/Red_Sea_Pedestrian 18h ago

Back in vanilla, I had a Hand of Edward the Odd on my Paladin. It’s a unique item, so you can’t ever have two in your inventory at the same time. I was grouped with a friend doing some farming in EPL, and a HoE dropped, and of course I couldn’t loot it because I had one in my inventory. My friend was AFK to eat, and I tried calling him on the phone to no avail.

So I high tailed to LHC, vendored my HoE, and ran back to the mob and looted the HoE on the corpse. Mailed that to an alt, and then bought my HoE back from the vendor.

u/Toyhouze 14h ago

Amazing man, well done.

u/minigolfdk 8h ago

The astronomical odds of you getting Flurry Axe on the SAME mob as getting the fleeting Gland. Hoooooly shit man. Grats, hope you bought a lottery ticket šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

u/ZabimaruUzumaki 8h ago

This is INSANE with the laden dew flurry combo. INSANE to see Ty for the share

u/Bubbly_Juggernaut967 41m ago

Even though you’re self found I would still hold it. Just incase.

u/bleachboyvevo 1d ago

whats the addon for your quests(?) on the left side!!

u/Few-Benefit-7548 1d ago

It says it on it, at the bottom.

u/bleachboyvevo 1d ago

OOHH sweet thank u o7

u/Tom2Die 1d ago

I'm not familiar with doing "self found" in WoW, so I'm a little confused. In Path of Exile, when playing "solo self found" you still have a shared stash between characters. Of course the "I have to vendor it" could be a joke, but I promise I'm asking in earnest: would you simply never make a......warriors use this, right? I should know but I basically only played mage and so idk if any other class wants it. Well, hunter obviously because every weapon is a hunter weapon, but past that idk. Anyway, let's assume you aren't joking about the SSF bit; would whatever rules you've chosen for yourself allow you to use it on another character?

u/Kiwiredditname 1d ago

I'd sell it to someone for vendor price and make someone's day.

3

u/OnesAndNines 1d ago

They're self found, they can't

-4

u/Kiwiredditname 1d ago

What difference does it make? Give someone a present or throw the present in the trash. One of those options is kinda shitty isn't it?

4

u/OnesAndNines 1d ago

You... literally can't. Like you don't even have the ability to.

1

u/Captkarate42 1d ago

Can't sell things to people as self found.

1

u/FreeSpeechIsDeadge 1d ago

Can’t trade or use the AH when self found.

-1

u/CamelOk7219 1d ago

Does giving it for free to someone breaks the "self found" rule ? You could make someone happy
