I’m subbed

Nah.

No AQ40 mount? gtfo

"epic gamer" 😂😂😂😂 your videos aren't bad or anything and you seem like a good dude, but... epic gamer 😂 i just can't with that name

[@mario7501]

The lich king mount had a 100% drop Chance in wrath. Still not a lot of people had it because only a few guilds could actually clear 25 man heroic ICC

[@Perfectguns89]

I got the guild 8th or 9th I believe. And I was gonna point out the same thing about the drop chance.

[@ethanhunt637]

which guild were you on mate 😂😂😂 we cleared it every single week even the 10 man heroic was harder for us than the 25 one

[@mario7501]

@@ethanhunt637 that’s pretty impressive. On my server only two alliance guilds killed 25 man heroic lich king before the 30% buff

[@Perfectguns89]

@@mario7501 Demise, Burning Blade. Top 50 world kill or something. Defeating HLK was very satisfying. The last boss we wiped that much was m'uru. And m'uru was complete cake walk compared to HLK.

[@mario7501]

@@Perfectguns89 yeah it was certainly a very punishing encounter. I don’t know how many times we wiped because one person fucked up with these void zones or something similarly stupid 😂

[@TK_GX]

6:28 this recipe was reintroduced in the Legion Expansion to all rogues and is now simple to obtain. 5:30 It was 100% drop rate for 1 mount per kill when the content was relevant. blizzard kept this formula of hard content mounts going from 100% drop to very low drop when the content is no longer current.

[@Makaveli13Xroy]

clearly this dude dont know what hes talking about lol

[@lildisability60]

Invincible had 100 % drop chance in wotlk ;)

[@johannesjohnsson4622]

This^

[@joshuaicenogle4740]

I remember randomly getting this and it was a low as fuck rate and it was right before new years and I lost out on 5 g's

[@MuitheExplorer]

Where the hell did you see that it has 100% drop chance?

[@johannesjohnsson4622]

@@MuitheExplorer read up bro in WOTLK. Just as most mythic bosses now drop mounts at a 100% rate which then gets nerfed when a new raid / Expansion is released. Same was for Mimirons head and Invincible in Wotlk. Once Cataclysm pre patch hit it was nerfed to 1%

[@Effingslackin]

I got this mount from the anniversary raid event in caverns of time. I didn’t even know I had it until people kept whispering me

[@Holyscrew]

I have been farming the Invincible for years. One day i decided to bring out my friend in ICC aswell, just to clear it together. Since doing it with someone else is less boring. Without thinking that the mount actually would drop....We got at the lich king, Killed it. And BAM, the mount. You know what my ''friend'' said, ''WE ROLL FOR IT.'' I was not having it actually but changed my mind when she started her roll. She rolled a 6. I was like, GREAT. How small is the change i dont win it now. Lmfaooo i was sooo wrong. I rolled a motherfking 3 and she rolled out with the mount after her first run. Fk that shit.

[@Toxic42069]

Fuck that... im taking the mount... I don't care if it's gram gram who tries to roll for it "fuck you, it dropped for me, it's mine"

[@Makaveli13Xroy]

Thats why you solo it :)

[@retsu4262]

the same thing happened to me! exact same but with mimirons head

[@jackphilipsen452]

Omg. I had that ghost stalking me for a whole expansion . Must be that pendulum. I never knew

[@ElRaffiDK]

You forgot to name Corrupted Ashbringer. This is proper rare no doubt

[@tyfhg1]

Which is completely different LOL

[@BuscoAlmas]

[@joyo1994]

@@BuscoAlmas its not,he is talking about the original which is not in the game anymore

[@GSXR90]

It’s unforgivable to make one of the rarest swords easier to get and nerfing effect, what a slap in the face to everyone who faithfully farmed this trying to secure their legacy. Shame

[@Draknfyre]

I had the Haunted Memento from the Wrath prelaunch event, but lost it by forgetting it in the mail as I bounced stuff back and forth between characters when I was almost completely out of bag/bank space. I forgot it on a character and by the time I remembered, it was too late to recover it from the auto-deleted mail. The Memento got nerfed several times. It was problematic because the specter it spawned could and would frequently get stuck in one spot, and when the holder zoned it would spawn another, which could also get stuck. So as the holder moved around they could spawn practically unlimited specters that could get stuck and they stayed until server rest. Times this by the tens of thousands of players on each server and that single item and its spawnable mob started dragging the servers down, giving major performance issues. They changed it so it would only spawn a max of one specter per so many minutes. They could still get stuck but it as long as it was on its internal cooldown, it wouldn't keep spawning them. It was still problematic so they nerfed it again and again, until today the item itself does literally nothing any more. But they put a toy in the game that replicates the effect (and of course with a cooldown.)

[@TheBigZUnit]

I still have mine in my bags :)

[@eno2870]

The item still spawns specters today. I see it all the time on my paladin. The specter pops up and it triggers a cower animation. I've never paid attention to how often it happens, but I see it at least a few times a day I'd guess.

[@lordpneumael]

I have a curious item I have held on to since vanilla: A warlock Firestone. It doesn't do anything any more but it's still there lol.

[@guidegenius6003]

I haven’t played in many Years but I spent months farming the Warglaives; It was a brutal grind! And I actually found that I liked And used Illidans Mask as a transmog more often than the Warglaives as time went on.

[@tiagoaguiarguitar]

i got the glaives in 2 runs in a row (2 weeks) i went WTF!!! :O

[@TyyTheFlyGuy]

I’ve had hailstorm since it came out lol.

[@Dvdh2903]

Lol same

[@pet4pr4nk]

because it never was rare

[@warriorsworld4638]

I'm surprised Blue and Azure drake isn't on here. I've done Eye of Eternity like 80 times, still not a single sight

[@hirntotsoldat8761]

A Friend of mine started playing a few weeks ago and got the Blue drake twice

[@leaveacomment]

I got both of them in the same run recently, ran my luck out for the rest of my life

[@Gollum229]

I was lucky to get both in one run, best of luck getting them.

[@wtfgary_]

I'd say that Experiment-2b or Twilight Avenger are more difficult.

[@Lukehtbh]

I'm surprised "Contest Winner's Tabard" never makes these lists. Considering only one person from each faction per server ever got one I don't even know how many years ago. It was my most prized possession

[@Kallogee]

Every few years i sub and go stare at my vanilla druids bank for an hour and weep at the memories

[@toastedt140]

@@Kallogee and Bobby cheers

[@vigridr7614]

Because people don't know it exists. The rarest "mainstream" items people actually take into account are the oldschool unarmored epic mounts, of which there are still about 1000 remaining in active accounts - I estimate the maximum amount of Contest Winner's Tabards in existence at the time of them being handed out was around 350 (2 factions per realm with around 175 servers world wide), and I would think the ones remaining will absolutely be less than 50. Probably less. I've played since launch and have never stopped playing and the only one I have ever seen in game is my brother's, who also still plays. And that's coming from someone who knows what to look for, your average player won't look for a tabard, let alone know or understand what they're looking at even if they did happen to see one.

[@vigridr7614]

Went and did some thorough research after commenting out of curiosity and I have found the exact amount of winners on wayback machines - the total is 292. 194 on US realms, 98 on EU realms, so 97 US realms and 47 EU ones, 144 total, a little shy of my 175 estimate. I have also found a Reddit thread stating TWELVE US accounts currently active own this tabard in their collection from SIX YEARS ago, meaning my initial estimate of 50 (or less) was definitely generous, and is likely closer to 20 at best. Pretty insane considering the aforementioned amount of 1000 total Oldschool Ride owners in the world with a currently active account.

[@DFMurray]

Haunted Momenta had an effect originally where you could right click it and it would toss it to another targeted character. This was later removed.

[@MrGanon360]

Actually they added the Thistle tea recipe into the game, and you can buy it now from either the rogue headquarters in Stormwind or the rogue class hall in Legion

[@Forty2de]

Yeah but it's BoP and only available to rogues. The old recipe can be learned by anyone.

[@Dragonfire2505]

@@Forty2de It still is optainable. It can be rarely inside the lockpick chests that can drop. Those are also trade/sellable.

[@ristuksenvittu]

Draco-incarcinatrix 900 should be pretty rare too, i never finished the quest but i was left with the item, weird thing is that it is not tagged as a quest item and is not soulbound, basically i could sell it on auction house if i wanted to.

[@NytronX]

I only played in 2004-2007 and quit the day before the first expansion came out. The Talisman of Binding Shard only dropped once in history, it was on my server (Archimonde). That is presumably the rarest item of all time.

[@jjd-lx5vr]

Tailisman of the Binding Shard ... only ever dropped once

[@rjohnson2813]

Yeah that's it.. just commented about that lol Had forgotten the name

[@beezlebarb91]

Do you think the Xerothian Firestick should be on a list like this? It's from the warlock mount quest. The appearance is unique and only a warlock with the ability to summon the boss in dire maul could get it for you.

[@dragonlover1788]

I once got rivendares deathcharger and the hyacinth macaw(pre pet battles) in one week. Rivendares was after 1 run by myself

[@stonedsimian2871]

I remember the haunted momento. I quit after WOTLK.

[@BonesAlexander]

As a DK main, trying to get Invincible is one of my most desired mounts.

[@Raugharr]

I used to have a Chromatic sword. Not for long tho. I was levelling a prot pally on a low pop server, encountered Scalebelly randomly, killed it, looted the sword and then promptly sold it to the vendor because I was using a one-handed plus a shield.

[@sockembopperify]

Haunted Momento was a Grey item which meant you could've easily vendored it by accident... Adding more to their rarity. I think in Pandaria then made it White to prevent that. I know, because I've carried one since Wrath-Prepatch.

[@BiancaRoughFin]

@Epic Gamer - Just a fun story i want to share. Back in the Pandaria era there was an incident in the Goldrinn realm where a Gnome named Thenagi became a Legend for acquiring the Invincible from a toxic Streamer that was live streaming. At the start of all organized Raids its common for the Raid leader to determine if a specific item that drops will be theirs or not. The Streamer named Johnny in no moment said anything that any item should they drop would be reserved to him. They finally arrived at the Lich King him self and killed him, the Invincible dropped and he started screaming on the stream saying it was his tho he never said anything before and didnt put lootmaster options so everyone rolled. Thenagi rolled a 100 and got the mount, Johnny started swearing and insulting Thenagi who trained the mount. You can find some videos of the incident on KZbin if you want to check it out and have a laugh. xD

[@andyknolls8735]

I found a rocket, I kept it in my pocket. Its called my "Pocket Rocket" Boom Cha!

[@malphasblackwing420]

My biggest WoW brag is that I found the Time Lost Proto Drake by accident because I was farming Ulduar for transmog and upon leaving it just so happened to be right there…

[@jaracgos]

I had Juno's Shadow drop in Stratholme during my Deathcharger grind. Somewhere around 230 runs.

[@pistolsandpainkillers5902]

When you realize you have items on the list... : ) :l : ( :' (

[@bbdgl7413]

I've literally never seen anyone with Nightmare Blade :D It was supposed to drop from Taerar in Ashenvale but since they removed those bosses during TBC i believe, i've never seen anyone with it in game

[@VoltDynamo]

I still have a Haunted Momento to this day haha!

[@TemplarDrakova]

I got pendulum of doom 2x in real vanilla for my 39 twinks. What is funny is in 2019 when the game came out again, I was pissed that I could not find it again. Now I understand how lucky I was. To think about it now. Seal of Command procs in 2004 on my lvl 39 paladin twink sealed my fate as a paladin main forever.

[@Murekization]

Where is the Black Qiraji Battle Tank mount? That was the rarest item.

[@christhomson8132]

This dude is a joke that is why

[@MurryBob]

I am surprised that Rivendare's Deathcharger wasn't here. Took me 583 kills over 6 years to get mine.

[@MilkoAritonoski]

Lmao. I remember getting the Pendulum of Doom on my Warlock and saying "a fucking axe. I'ma disenchant it."

[@matthiasmtl3122]

You totally forgot the legendary Talisman of Binding Shard!! It dropped in MC Vanille only 1 Time. After that Blizzard took it out of the game but the player was allowed to keep it

[@etou1146]

There is a unique variation of the mecha strider mount given out to a single player by accident as well, which is unobtainable by any other means

[@Hundo_Mo]

I actually had the Haunted Momento and Invincible on my Paladin! And my Rogue had the Thistle Tea recipe!

[@marzix427]

While not an item, but the hunter pet that was a summoned pet from Dustwallow Marsh pre-WotLK revamp the zone got that had a look like Karoma (Spirit Beast tameable), but was an regular wolf. You needed a certain amount of haste, a trinket to use with haste plus Bloodlust and luck because you needed to get Tame Pet below the time the mob despawned which was like 8 seconds. It was only available for a little while due to needing quite a bit of haste and it was not very widely gotten. I played on Hellscream and there was only 1 other Horde i saw with it and at least 1 alliance night elf with it.

[@zbrembo]

I got it and used an old "meta gem" proc to make it happen

[@Gurgimunchingcrunching]

I remember getting Invincible reins after 6 runs during WoD. Made so many people mad at me in my guild.

[@jedibasschoke8909]

Pendulum of doom dropped in my single run of Ulduman in the classic re release while running with my RL friends. I won it and saved it for a while which wasn’t a bad idea because I ended up needing to sell it to buy arcane crystals to go towards my hammer of raggy. Grinding for that ended up like a full time job. Think I only got about 1.5k gold for it though

[@tomn3136]

I'm happy I still have my haunted memento and was able to get the new SL prepatch version too!

[@SharpiesERA]

Uldaman drops 5-6 ultra rare items that are way more valuable than most items in this list… Miners helm, the Fez, a Gun and some more. Even drops an item that according to wowhead is removed from the game, even tho some have reported drops of it. That’s how rare it is.

[@Tanivan]

Kinda neat that i have the BOE thistle tea recipe. I bought it on the AH for the collection and never used it.

[@eno2870]

Huh. I guess my paladin has had one of the rarest items in the game in her inventory for the last fifteen years. Who knew? That haunted memento has been sitting in my final bag with all the other odds and ends for years. The ghost occasionally pops up and triggers a cower animation.

[@snk9705]

I guess the RNG gods smiled upon twice so far. I got Invincible and Clutch of Ji'Kun on my first solo attempt in BFA

[@atholkay4172]

No Talisman of the Binding Shard at #1? Legendary necklace in vanilla was accidentally added to the loot table of Baron Geddon. After it dropped for the first time, it was immediately hotfixed and it was taken off the loot table. So 1 drop and 1 drop only in the entire history of the game. It's unclear if it was a GM item, or a working model of what became the Bindings of the Windseeker quest drops.

[@xenon119]

Still happy I got the karazhan vampiric battling. Pretty sure that was my first raid.

[@MrXanaros]

I once had the pendelum of doof drop in a group and the tank snatched it with need :D

[@fkaroundhandleit]

Honestly I might actually have one of those swiftistle tea recipes lying around on one of my old childhood characters.

[@cielphantomhive4172]

I got a sword from a high level dungeon, called the Forge of Souls, don't know there drop rate and would like to know how rare this sword is because it seems to have a common drop rate and its possible to get it every few runs Swords name is Seethe. Anyone know of if this sword has any sorts of rarity, because its never on auction and unless you search it right in google, it doesn't come up at all besides the lich kings sword, Frostmourne. if otherwise googled by color... Any help or knowledge would be greatly appreciated!!

[@balrogttv1249]

A quick Google led me to the answer of 16% drop rate

[@Snowy-hj6vi]

Actually dropped the pendulum of doom in classic 2nd launch . But didn’t know it was so rare.

[@TrustedInsaller]

Did Icecrown for the first time in MOP, first time I did lich, he dropped the dead horse mount.

[@xAkatsxki]

I got Invincible luckily during the wotlk tw event with the raid quest.. so happy

[@user-gw6ww1pi2z]

I find it funny how some low % of drop items "don't exist" while others are in abundance. I remember how I got both of the Warglaives within 5 weeks from the 1st drop to the 2nd one. How I got the Reins of the Headless Horseman on my 2nd run the very night it was introduced in the game, (few years later, I got another copy while I was helping a friend with the event) to the Baron's mount that I chased for nearly 4 years. As for the Invincible, every time I went for a run - nothing. This one time my paladin friend joined 'cuz he was bored' and wadda ya know? haha He was cursing at me, still passed on the mount. Its both frustrating and exhilarating. =)

[@denizaktas4624]

probably not as rare as your finds but back in classic when I first started playing I dropped Edgemasters Hanguards in Felwood while still not even 60 level. And I mained nelf druid. Without knowing much I asked my guild if it was worth anything before selling and my inbox got spammed from warriors xD

[@blooregardqkazoo4519]

Its cool to know I have one of these (Haunted Memento) its a reminder to myself of better times in WoW, and of my childhood

[@xXtHeUnDeAd1Xx]

I don't know if anyone knows but you could receive the haunted memento as a drop for the shadowlands pre-patch event. I got one there which was like 3 years ago now?

[@Monroemanordogs]

I have hailstorm on characters I haven't logged in to for almost 10 years. I also have benediction anathema on my priest and full t2 lol

[@despair_of_stars]

i remember when i had finally made my own account instead of using my mom's. once i was high enough level we went through the dungeon to try and get me invincible and it dropped for me first try. after that for a few months i had insane luck on mount drops but it faded after a while.

[@lukeveijk]

You get 1 heart-shaped box per character, so 14 per week, but u can have up to 50 characters tho, so technically u can get 700 boxes per year if u make 50 demon hunters on different realms to farm it;p

[@filipsebik6138]

I would say that the Time Lost Proto Drake is much rarer than Invincible. Invincible randomly dropped for me when doing Shadowmourne runs in Legion

[@dispuertorican1111]

I feel like this was a missed opportunity to mention precious lucky ribbon

[@lorenzolehtola3996]

I sold the chromatic to a vendor and the penduulm when i was a kid, had no idea

[@petrhanzl8399]

i actually got invincible on first try when i started playing on official servers :)

[@stephenledford3808]

The two accounts I've had over the years literally had all of these when they were relevant. It's definitely a more realistic list rather then listing the usual one off types of videos that everyone has done.

[@Zordiak]

The Talisman of the Binding Shard is so rare this guy has probably never heard of it lol

[@Forty2de]

it's not just rare, it's unique and unobtainable. Hardly counts as "rare."

[@FrexieFrex]

Took me 10 years to get invincible 😅 but i got it finally

[@esemrcrimetime]

OMFG. I got only about 200 runs.

[@PnzrDiv666]

I still have the Haunted Momento in my warriors inventory to this day!

[@jumpkicking]

1:05 that's not how drop chances work. If it's 1:3,333, 3,333 attempts is still not "confirmed", it could legitimately never drop for a person or even an account. In Pokemon Shining Pearl I failed a 30% chance to fish a Fineon... 25 times in a row, getting it on my 26th fish (also one of the 25 magikarps was a full odds shiney). An X:Y is always an X:Y. It's just Z instances of X:Y. Unless there is a pity, but I doubt there's a pity system in wow drops.

[@thespreeman401]

Used to farm the chromatic sword. Until it was removed. But I still had 12 of them in my bank. Sold for a lot of gold.

[@Vote_Blue]

you left off Pet Rock, which was available only by pickpocketing a certain furbolg mob in azshara before the cata redesign of the zone. no longer in game.

When ICC was current, Invicible was a guaranteed, 100% drop. Now it is a matter of farming ICC for few weeks to get it, so this mount does not belong on this list whatsoever. Overall however, very nice.
