Cat leveling gear - part 6 - rings & trinkets
Welcome to those of you coming from Gun Lovin’ Dwarf Chick (and, hi Bre!). If you check down several posts (like, 7, I think?) you will find my wall of text guide to bear leveling gear.
Now, on with the show!
Rings:
Baseline: Ravenclaw Band and Overseer’s Signet
Both rings require a bit of effort to get but they didn’t require raiding and, in the end, were about as much as I thought I could expect a non-raider to be able to get.
At level 70 in WOTLK, the first item you will be able to get is a green crafted item: Bloodstone Band. It’s unique, so you will replace the Ravenclaw Band with it. There is also the Ring of Indignant Rage from The Assassination of Harold Lane to provide a second upgrade. The Bloodstone Band is better, but it is also more easily obtained, as The Assassination is the last quest in a chain.
At 72, you can pick up Kurzel’s Rage to replace the Ring of Indignant Rage. It the reward from Search and Rescue.
At 73, you’ll replace the Bloodstone Band. Your first choice is the Worgslayer’s Ring from Attack on Silverbrook. If you are a little bit lucky, you will be able to pick up Jedoga’s Greatring in Ahn’Kahet.
At 74, you’ll be replacing your lesser ring with the Ring of Foul Mojo from For Posterity
If you are still using Kurzel’s Rage or less as your second ring at 75, you’ll want to replace it with the r
Petrified Ghoul Finger from Feedin’ Da Goolz.
At 76, the Bent Crockolisk Tooth
is slighting better than the Petrified Ghoul Finger. It’s the reward from Crockolist Mastery: The Ambush.
At 77, you’ll have to opportunity to replace both rings:
Frog-Toe Band is the reward from Basic Chemistry.
The Signet of Bridenband is the reward from Light Within the Darkness.
At 78, there is again opportunity to upgrade:
The Bjarngrim Family Signet drops in Halls of Lightning.
The Ring of Scarlet Shadows is crafted. The Ring is a bigger upgrade than the signet, so if you only try for one, get the ring crafted for yourself.
There are 6 available upgrades at level 80, prior to raiding (from least to greatest):
the Stained-Glass Shard Ring is a world drop, but most of the drops I have seen for it are in Heroic Ahn’Kahet or Heroic Azjol-Nerub.
The Signet of Edward the Odd is another Northrend world drop, this one having been seen all over the continent.
The Mobius Band drops in Heroic COT: Strat.
The Band of Kirin Tor is for sale for 8k gold in Dalaran.
The Hemorrhaging Circle drops in Heroic Gundrak.
The Titanium Impact Band is crafted.
Trinkets:
Baseline: Trinkets are pretty hard to baseline because there’s such variety that people might have obtained. So I’m going to be a little arbitrary and set the standard pretty low:
Abacus of Violent Odds and Bloodlust Broach were both comparatively easy to get. Certaily easier than running heroic Magister’s Terrace over and over…
If you don’t have at least the baseline, you can pick up the First Mate’s Pocketwatch from The Jig Is Up.
You don’t really see an upgrade from baseline until the Goblin Repetition Reducer at 74. It’s available for Venture Coins in Grizzly Hills.
Tehcnically, the Frenzyheart Insignia of Fury and the Oracle Talisman of Ablution are usable at 70, but since they both require exatled with a faction in Sholzar Basin, they aren’t really practical until 77 or 78.
If you are an alchemist, at 75 you can make a Mighty Alchemist’s Stone.
At 77, you can pick up the Crusader’s Locket from Defending the Vanguard.
Finally, at 80, you can pick up several better trinkets:
The Metorite Whetstone drops in Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle.
The Incisor Fragment drops in Heroic Drak’Tharon Keep.
The Mirror of Truth is a Heroic Emblem item.
And the Darkmoon Card: Greatness
comes from the Darkmoon Faire, of course.
Again, I just listed the upgrades from my baselines…there are a lot more trinkets out there that you can discover at lootrank.com by picking the feral druid - cat template and selecting the appropriate level…Just have it list 20 or 30 options and tell it to only list trinkets.
