Not classic, but as an idea for how powerful world drops can be, at one point early in Cataclysm I got a world drop shield and rocketed up the charts to be in the top 5 geared tanks on the server. I can only hope I get something like that again!

Back in 2005 I received a https://classic.wowhead.com/item=2824/hurricane

This time around I would appreciate a https://classic.wowhead.com/item=943/warden-staff as I will be rolling with a Druid :)

On Nostalrius this happened & I received https://classic.wowhead.com/item=1728/t ... -longsword: http://i.imgur.com/k7tMVP4.jpg

I think you're obligated to provide us screenshots of you fighting a yeti with TBL equipped.

Why a Yeti?

I will try to find additional proof somewhere, but I used to use puush to upload images & they have unfortunately vanished from the net (the screenshot used in the original post was obviously not mine, as you can see my character in it).

Edit: found something on my phone

https://classic.wowhead.com/item=873/staff-of-jordan was the first one that dropped on me I think! I remember it being really exciting.

Original ad for the game:

I still remember all those years ago when I killed a coyote in the Badlands and a https://classic.wowhead.com/item=873/staff-of-jordan dropped. I sold it for 300 gold, which was a fantastic price at the time.

I don't have any particular desires for world drops, but a https://classic.wowhead.com/item=1728/t ... -longsword would always be fun for the charm of the "front of the box" value.

I agree that Teebu's have a certain sentimental value since it's on the box!

It's funny now though because there are no high level Yetis in Dun Morogh (I think), they tricked us with a cool screenshot!

Oh, how embarrassing! I actually don't think I have ever seen that

Back in Vanilla i got a https://classic.wowhead.com/item=809/bloodrazor while fighting quests mobs in WPL,
I made the mistake of equipping it as a paladin instead of actually selling it (:

This time around i dont really care what my first epic will be,
Aslong as i can get a good sell out of it to speed up my quest towards an epic mount

https://www.wowhead.com/item=812/glowin ... wood-staff

I want to say it dropped for me in Duskwood, maybe in the Twilight Grove. It ended up paying for most of my epic mount cost.

Back in vanilla I could only play at my friends house and never got any world epics :(

That must have been incredibly frustrating, I don't know what I would do if I weren't able to have a 12hr+ sitting of gaming.

I don't think I've had any epic drops back in Vanilla even though I played nearly full time.
I was always envy of the people that got epic drops, it was such a gold boost.
Back in Vanilla a new realm (Vek'Nilash) was released during the easter holidays and everyone was powerleveling when this guy was walking around with a https://classic.wowhead.com/item=873/staff-of-jordan around level 40.

I remember finding the following items on Vanilla:

https://classic.wowhead.com/item=870
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=1204
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=869

The following dropped on dungeons but I don't think I've won them

https://classic.wowhead.com/item=868/ardent-custodian
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=943/warden-staff
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=2291/k ... ecapitator

And lastly these are the items I bought in late vanilla-early BC when I had a bit more money in my name, because I was leveling as a Paladin tank :D

https://classic.wowhead.com/item=1168/skullflame-shield
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=1979/wall-of-the-dead < somewhat buyers remorse.

Looking back I now realize my drops were extremely lucky, I simply thought this was the drop rate of epics back then. Somewhat frequent but still rare.
Actually my account is really blessed with rare drops. I got both bindings (in BC) in a month, many of the rare mount drops in BC/Wotlk relatively fast.. I wonder if my luck will continue on Classic ;p

That was a fun trip down memory lane!

I got the Staff of Jordan on TBC (never played vanilla), but one of my favorite drops was the Six Demon Bag, pretty cool trinket!

It was a random ring off of trash outside BRD, I don't recall the name. Was +2 to several stats or something similar. I was so stoked I equipped it. Then regretted it as it was BoE and not really useful for my rogue. Live and learn haha.

I hope not, luck like that isn't fair! Cheater!

Well, I would love to get a Staff of Jordan

I remember I rolled a Nelf hunter alt and the first mob I killed after dinging level 37 had https://classic.wowhead.com/item=2825/b ... ing-arrows. I had never been so happy.

Overall I was incredibly unlucky with World Epics. I NEVER got the https://classic.wowhead.com/item=943/warden-staff. Here's hoping Classic throws me a bone :)
