[@pixelin]

In one of your older videos about old and rare items, you mentioned the Shard of the Fallen Star trinket. You explained that it had a very low drop chance from AQ40 trash mobs and featured a unique effect where it summoned a comet to strike an enemy target and some veteran PvPers used it just for fun. Your mention of it left such an impression on me that I decided to farm it myself. After five years of effort, it finally dropped! (on retail WoW) Now, I always keep it in my bags and use it for laughs when dueling friends. Every time I see it, it makes me smile - I honestly thought they might have removed it from the game, but thankfully, it’s still there!

[@synchax3848]

My wife to this day seethes over the Baron Rivendare horse. She rolled a 100 on it, and so did someone else, then of course she lost it in the invisible roll.. haven't seen it drop since then.

that makes me angry and i didnt even lose it

I finally got it last week, 20 years later

[@Mcguinness3]

I remember farming that for literally years, then I randomly got it in a Raid Finder loot box back in MoP. I was so confused when I got the achievement!

[@garygood6804]

Your wife do3s know she can just go farm it manually....

[@Epidombe]

@@garygood6804 its capped at 5-6 runs per hour. Theres a ton of running because you have to kill the ziggurat bosses to “unlock” baron and its an extremely low drop chance. Yes you can farm it, but its a terrible grind

Omg Pendulum of Doom. What a throwback. My vote for most iconic twink weapon is still Shadowfang. Shadowfang with crusader and a cruel barb with +15 agi and a Lucky Fishers Hat. Phwoaaaah 🐐

[@desyncer]

I feel bad for people who played 2019 PvP servers phase 2 was a massive grief fest. In 2005, it was completely different. You still had the odd rogue trying to catch easy victims in inns or person trying to get easy kills in Felwood but it wasn't the squads of people camping dungeon entrances or taking over entire zones. The TM-SS war was a much more "fair" form of gaining honor based on GY proximity.

[@samwise1790]

One thing about the bag of marbles: back in vanilla, it was not BoP. Our MT back then would make multiple lvl 5 alts and trade them to his main any week we were doing prog raiding. Pretty sure he would also hand them out to reliable OT/melee dps to use when he called for it.

[@edluke3415]

The same thing with really sticky glue for Horde at first. They eventually made it soul bound because using the really sticky glue was part of the strat of killing Rag by netting his sons of flames.

[@Slashoom]

Getting the tidal charm at 2am the night before the $100K Mak'gora Tournament will forever be my most hyped wow moment. I don't think there was ever a spawn that was camped so hard before.

[@sarysa]

The biggest loss with later expansions was how items gained during leveling became utterly useless in raiding. The fact that many random items showcased here had their niche uses made the world seem bigger.

[@orangesouls7112]

The one I always remember is Linken's Boomerang. Was about the only way Paladins could actually kill someone in PVP in the early days since they had pretty much no other way to stop someone from just walking away from them.

[@dredoctor8271]

I loved the six-demon-bag. Iconic, strange, overall decent in pvp.

I've always loved your content and your personality MadSeason, I just don't play classic anymore due to finding it addictive, so I am just leaving a like and a comment to help the algorithm gods. The videos you make are always awesome and I hope you continue to succeed

[@madseasonshow]

I appreciate that. In regards to addiction you will definitely like the video I'm working on right now

[@TarisRedwing]

I'm glad you kept making WoW videos as I think most of us Enjoy your perspectives and expertise on all things Classic. Also I think I've seen the Panda pet never knew where it came from and I've NEVER seen that tabard or even knew it was in the game.

[@edluke3415]

The WoW tabard was given to the highest ranked player on each faction after sometime after the honor system was released. At the time the people who were at the top of the pvp grind and closest to tank 14 won it. On Burning Legion-US it was given to Bremmen, a tauren shaman, and Bof, a human warrior. Both semi quit after getting rank 14 until WSG was released and you didn't have to solely rely on world pvp honor to get rank gains.

[@adamorth5335]

12:18 yooo! I got the deathcharger back in 2005 on my TAUREN! It was AMAZING Valorusk, Tauren Warrior on Mal’Ganis, god those were good times

[@johiidx]

The Edgemaster's Handguards were my first epic drop as a warlock in 2005! I asked a gnome warrior in the guild if they were any good and he said nah because they had no stats, so I always thought they were useless, but I held onto them in my bank totally unaware of their value until decades later. Whoops, great video.

[@coryhafer7285]

In retail, I still have the Brazier of Invocation which is part of a quest chain that was removed in Cata. Of the five locations which originally summoned ghosts, which are special boss fights in the vanilla end game dungeons, only two still work today. Dire maul and lower BRS.

An item I have a weird obsession with and never see anyone mention is the Core of Ragnaros rings that dropped very early on but were removed. They were blue FR rings with a random affix

[@Sonichero151]

That episode of sputh park was one of my favorite episodes ofnall time with how much effort and work the studio put in and collaboration and communication with Blizzard. And when i found out the sword model was in the game i soent weeks farming naxx for it. Eventually i finally got it and it was the perfect sword for my dark knight

[@UgatoSA]

The weapon skill mechanic was hugely important primarily because of the 15 point disparity between a raid boss’ defense and a level 60’s max 300 weapon skill being the start of the severe penalties in physical damage dealers’ damage. The first 5 points of weapon skill (reducing the deficit from 15 points to 10) are by far the biggest bonus. Edgemasters held its power position for so long in vanilla classic primarily because of poor itemization. For instance, SoD essentially gave everyone the +5 weapon skill racials for every weapon type. Edgemasters were completely obsoleted by that. They were never a chase item, even pre-MC.

[@Bsully144]

I was a hunter back in Vanilla who had no idea what he was doing… I need rolled on edgemaster’s handguards because they were purple and mail and I could wear them… I wore them for a while and if I remember correctly lost an in game friend over the need roll

[@SneakyMuskrat]

During TBC when Rivendare's mount had a 1% drop, it still took me 73 runs on my Blood Elf Rogue to drop, 72nd run the epic sword dropped. In WotLK it dropped first run for my DK.

[@yungniko2569]

I will never forget getting Deathchargers reins in this classic era in p1 TBC On my 3.rd solo attempt. I was a glorious jockey until the dropchance was raised and it became more common.

When I hit lvl 80 in WOtLK I started spamming Stratholme with my Druid. Took about 80 runs but I finally got the Deathcharger. It was still rare the. So I got a lot of looks and people asking how many runs it took. To this day whenever need a ground mount it’s the one I use. Good memories.

[@Grawnoth]

I remember getting Deathcharger's Reins in Vanilla. Had to roll against 4 guildees. Being a Gnome Rogue on that thing was insanely awesome!

[@andromidius]

Vanilla and to a lesser extent TBC really did have unique weapons - for good and bad. Getting one of the good ones always felt amazing, as they could often change how you played the game. Wrath onwards missed that quality - though exchanged it for more reliable upgrades and less auto-sharding.

[@Piant_Genis]

“…and so that’s where you’ll find the legendary sword of the Scarlet Highlord, Ashbringer. Ain’t it amazing what you run into in an ordinary day of fishin’?" I miss when Blizz trolled us like that

[@SDXStudio]

Yooooo - where did you get that footage from?! That's some old school Illidan stuff. Miss those days for sure.

[@DraphEnjoyer]

Whether or not Outland was originally intended to be in the base vanilla game is still debated. The WoW Diary stated that the version of Hellfire Peninsula that's in the game files was never meant to be an actual zone, it was just a placeholder zone devs used to practice zone creation and making. First expansion was planned to be South Seas until they rushed out TBC

[@GuncaFromlv]

I unsubbed from all WoW content creators when I quit the game 4 years ago. You my friend are the only one I could not bring myself to abandon! I always enjoy looking back at my past experience with WoW through your videos. :)

The 20th anniversary versions LOOK SO GOOD, well most of em. Death Knights look the best imo

[@Therealjetpilot]

I got full tier 2 first on server in 2 raids lol.

[@skdnj]

Glancing blow will occur 40% of the time no matter how much weapon skill you have, that's also another reason why your white hit crit cap is 60%. Higher weapon skill reduces damage reduction part of glancing blow penalty as well as allowing the requirement of your soft yellow hit cap to be significantly lower so you can gear up more crit.

[@timelordricknmorty8179]

Oh i have the collectors edition pets lol. Like i havent been subbed in a few years but the account still exists. My dad bought the game on launch but they were out of normal copies so he got the collectors edition. Some fun facts about the pets: -Initially you could only pick one upon making a new character, but once they made pets account wide, you got access to all 3. -When classic re-released, you got access to the original collectors edition pets too if you had bought the collectors edition on the same account 15 years before. -In like 2018 there was the Starcraft 20th anniversary event where if you used /salute on a starcraft themed pet during the event, you would get a feat of strength. I remember taking my zergling into antorus lfr and telling people to /salute it for a free achiev

[@alericc1889]

I have a lot of mistakes in Vanilla in my bank still, I have both the Ice Barb Spear and the Bloodseeker Crossbow because the quest glitched and let me select a reward TWICE. I used both of them in PVP on my warrior. There were ONLY 4 Collectors Editions sold in Louisville KY, one of friends was the only person I know who managed to get one since most of us didn't even know they existed. I currently have EVERY collectors edition except the first one. There was ONE person in Vanilla on the Dalaran Server that had Baron Rivendale's mount and he used to parade it outside Iron Forge all the time. To DATE I still have not gotten that mount.

[@Rascal157]

Madseason, you have to cover the 1 in 1,000 2h sword that had a chance to summon a friendly mob and drops off the end boss of UBRS. My Dad won the roll on this in classic and it was iconic.

[@leonardceres9061]

One one of the things I hate about vanilla wow is that you can’t really make the character you want you just kinda have to go with the character you have because items are such a pain in the ass to come by. This is why the transmog system was so beneficial to a player like me because I love rolling different characters and eventually with enough different paths taken I can collect a huge array of items and appearances. Meanwhile, if I had to do it all on one character I would’ve been bored and quit the game a long time ago.

[@hallasnackbar1865]

I have the Rivendare charger, took a few months of farming to get it. To be honest I am kind of surprised you did not include Rok'delar as so few got it and it is no longer available.

[@martin-fc4kk]

The Tidal Charm... got it, back in Vanilla..

[@Burlehmangus]

So hear me out madseason…my personal favorite item is this: primal hakkari manslayer. A 1h axe from zg, with a 2.00 speed, a lifesteal, and NOT unique. So I kinda made a name for myself, and even had shoutouts in metagoblins videos, because I made a couple videos and posted them of me making my “melee spellpower hunter” builds work, and do very competitive dps. So what you do is get x2 of these axes since they’re not unique, and go full melee as BM, obviously with wing clip spam, while wearing normal attack power gear, but stacking spellpower consumes and buffs, and dragon breath chili (which also scales with spellpower), and shadow oil on offhand. (Also scales). The axes (along with shadowstrike, and a couple other lifesteal and nature damage weapons in game) scale 1:1 with spell damage. So that itself is pretty cool. (Check out my vids if ya want) but what makes these axes so cool above the other spellpower scaling weapons, is that they’re higher dps/dmg, and they’re not unique, so you have 2 weapons with the same speed. I have a couple pvp videos of this build I need to put up too, and it is a god tier pvp meme build. When you hit with both weapons at the same time, with high crit (hunter), and also have your shadow oil, db chili, windfury, etc proc, and add on the damage of a nearly guaranteed raptor strike crit to one of those white hits…I was able to absolutely delete almost any class outside of well geared prot wars. Side note: the flame wreath polea from BRD is really cool too, because while the damage proc itself does not scale with spellpower, the reflect shield does…so you can pack up a dozen mobs on you, and with 400 spell power have the mobs hitting themselves for 413 damage ever melee for 12 sec.

[@bboyEBD]

[@didiosthrance]

Haven't played since early Legion, started when Scholo etc were mini raids. Two mounts I always wanted. Time Lost Proto, which really irked me as I had a friend who nabbed two of them almost back to back before mounts were account wide. Other was AQ opening bug. When the server hoping thing became a thing for a bit for a second chance to get it, still no luck.

[@Davivd2]

There was a sword of a thousand truths put into the game for a little while after the South Park episode. I saw it being sold by the PVP vendor in Gadgetzan

[@HOYYT]

Back in December of 2010, I was in Sporeggar farming some rep or something, and I saw I had mail from a game master or blizzard or something like that. I was surprised and ran to the mailbox. I then saw 3 pieces of mail, containing each of the collectors edition pets (zerg, panda, diablo). I got the feats of strength for them and everything. Still to this day, I don't know why. All I can surmise is extreme luck and mod gave them to the wrong account. I don't understand it at all. I don't think anyone believes me, but I keep the panda cub behind me as it goes to sleep and it's cool. It's still one of my pinnacle trophies in gaming to this day.

[@scienz0220]

I have now reached ultimate form where i just miss the friendly innocence of the community. No pixel will ever excite me again

[@placeholdername3206]

I actually solo farmed for Rivendares Deathcharger in early TBC on my blue geared mage. Could do a run in about 20 min. This was pre dropchance buff, so it was the rarest item in the game. I got the mount after about 150 runs, which was lucky obviously. I remember there was an entire community farming for it on the thottbot (wowhead) comment section. i'd only ever seen the mount once besides my own across many servers. Then the pre WotlK patch hit, which made it a 1% drop instead. I think it was the same patch that introduced achievments. I was gutted lol. Suddendly that mount was everywhere.

[@Spectacular66]

I definitely remember the Pendulum of Doom being a highly sought weapon among warrior twinks way back when. I also remember farming out the Deathcharger's Reins after its drop chance was increased slightly in Wrath. I ended up getting the other rare drop off him which was the two handed sword. Never saw that fucking mount

[@TiesOfZip]

I still have my mini Diablo pet. It’s the only one I ever have out. Surprised you talked about the original collectors edition pets, no one ever does
