The Gnomish Mind Control Cap allowed temporary cross-faction communication!
If you typed "/e" before text, WoW would put your text (in brown) into the chatlog as an emote. You could write any text that fit the chatbox. BUT it wouldn't work cross-faction, which would only allow "official" emotes (/spit, /dance, etc)... BUUUUT if the target was MIND CONTROLLED they were friendly and you could "emote" entire paragraphs of text to them.
I had a macro setup when I was farming in Silithus, where I would Mind Control, buff (Greater Blessing of Kings) and send a friendly message to any horde characters who didn't interrupt me when I was farming.
Suddenly gets mind controlled could be scary enough. So after they shyt themselves I'm sure the friendly message might be along the lines of "I own you now and dont ever forget it. Have a nice day!" BUFF*
This is the stuff that makes wow great. Thanks for sharing
@@quelandil5738 past tense
I bet seeing horde players with BoK confused alot off people
Great memory of the mind control helmet.
I was in STV and came across a warrior and priest leveling combo. They were level 30 and the warrior had his WW axe. I was on rogue and stealthed up to them and got the warrior with it and had him attack the priest. the priest flipped out, not knowing what happened and was 3 shot. So I danced with the warrior, and when it broke he danced with me on the priests corpse. Love vanilla interactions.
Can I just say how much I love the editing in these, really picked the game up the past couple of vids!
God, I wish had such a bright smile on my face at all times like the fish on the Number 1 spot.
Funnily enough this Type of Fish are generally called "Frenzy" in WoW.
Sidenote about the Skull:
This was commonly used in PVP to engage mages and rogues. Since the dot this thing puts on you will also get you out of sap and sheep.
And when you're running, you do the chicken emote...
10:46 "...you'd be sent to the Searing Gorge in order to get a piece of Oak." *stifles a laugh* hehehehe, Oak
2 trinkets I regularly saw overlooked even in Vanilla -
The Nifty Stopwatch, which increases run speed by 40% for 30 sec, which was awesome in general but especially for dungeon/raid corpse runs, and
Carrot on a Stick, which increased mount speed by 3%
The Six Demon Bag also saw use in high rated arena because it scaled with spell damage increases, making it a very powerful nuke before Blizzard nerfed it.
Death ray was some bullshit in arena too until the nerf
@@omnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom3831 Yes, I'm surprised no one mentioned this, it can polymorph you instead of the enemy
@@Juanirva it can tornado you as well. I am not sure if the frost bolt and fireball could backfire, too
The 8 sec stun and 20 sec poly are op af
Piece of oak, you got me there.
Giggity
Let me guess, #1 is Gunther Arcanus?
nah man its Lillian Voss
Every faction has its weirdo xD
I looked for this in the comments and it made me happy its the top comment.
Sick burn! yaowww
It was, and it was beautiful. Gunter was like other Undead
Top 10 extremely valuable items in WoW (like that light of elune quest reward : 1 charge only and made you immune for like 12 seconds )
I still have that in my main's bank.
I'm sure he's already done something like that (and the Tear did come out at #1)
I would say useful more than valuable. Valuable makes me think gold cost. But then again, how useful is an item that nobody will use because "I'm waiting for the best time". Anyone who still has it mine as well read the ability as "Takes up 1 bank slot" because they'll never use it out of fear of "wasting" it.
Still got mine in my bank.
Your editing style is very enjoyable. You're becoming one of my favorite WoW channels in your own way entirely. The bit with the Night Elf in awe of a simple branch made me audibly laugh
I always enjoy your vanilla videos. You remind me of so many things I'd completely forgotten existed!
great editing in this one, the little animated slides were a fantastic touch (the guy infront of the entrance to uldaman, the firebreathing orc, etc)
All the items that had to get nerfed in expansions reminds me of how when WotLK came out I was still raiding on my arcane mage using my Serpent Coil Braid, a level 70 trinket from the SSC raid in BC. They ended up having to nerf the level 70 trinket as I recall, to get us mages to use level 80 gear instead.
Pretty sure my neighbors heard me laughing at that "Piece of Oak" bit
I see someone had fun editing this Video :D THE BRANCH!
great job in including something from the wow diary, gives more insight to some aspects of the game. loved how you married it with the item.
I still have Skull, Essence, and Hook in my bank.
Skull has always been my favorite item. I would run flags as a shadow priest in Warsong Gulch. Power Word: Shield pretty much negated the damage that it dealt. Used it alongside a Nifty Stopwatch (more run speed) and Barov's Peasant Caller (summoning 3 things to clutter up my hitbox). If buff boots were available in each tunnel, you could be moving at near mount speeds all the way to the capture.
OH! The best part about the skull that isn't on the tooltip? On use, it would also make you do /chicken.
Six Demon Bag is a reference to the movie 'Big Trouble in Little China'.
Good movie
Ah, I loved the Six Demon Bag. I think it used to scale 100% with spell damage, so it wasn't bad.
Kind of fun to see 5 of the items I used when I originally played.. I love utility effects, so its neat to see them again ^^
Was really hoping to see Linkens Boomerang make it on here, still my favorite quest chain in Vanilla. Great video :)
Cross continental quests, weird items that did random or not particularly useful things.
Yes, WoW was once an actual RPG.
"And then, for the final part of the quest, you'll be sent to the Searing Gorge to get a piece of OAK."
*shows professor oak*
is there a reason why this had me dying
I love the editing on this video. Great job :)
Wasn´t there an accessorie flute that forced everyone to dance around you? I think that you obtained it in Stratholme from the Postman?
Yeah, its called the "Piccolo of flaming fire" and it's a toy now. I use it all the time.
Yeah and this guy who dropped the flute wasn’t always there AND in the middle of the instance, which was HUUUUUGE back then
I sometimes used the Darkmoon card in arenas on TBC. Once I resurrected 2 times in the same match. I also have won all the prizes in the fishing tournament, it is not an impossible thing to do on low populated realms.
Really happy that you mentioned that Eric was one of The Lost Vikings
Funnily enough,the luffa wrappings legendary in legion,greatly increased the bleeds you dealt
I remember getting Freezing Band when leveling at Winterspring. Had no clue until today that it was worth so much. Back then I just equipped it to slightly boost my shaman’s frost shock damage. The good old days ;)
Great video, an interesting variety of items and real good editing.
Great editing skills. Love it!
What they did with trinkets like the Twisting Nether was that the proc chance gradually drops as you get to higher levels. I had the Blue Dragon trinket on my priest and used it beyond Vanilla so I remember it all pretty well.
There is the Abyss Shard from a warlock quest in ST which enables warlocks to summon the voidwalker without a soul shard on a 30 min CD. It was one of three choices of a blue item
Really nice editing work, Hiru!
I legit only what this guy due to his voice as it’s calming
ye my fave youtuber to go to sleep to
and nasally
Madseason
Yeah, you should totally check out MadSeasonShow in that case. Easily my favourite WoW-UA-camr right next to Hiru. Both have great content and a really relaxing voice.
I watched him as TheDuelLogs but also watched him here eventhough I don't play WoW. 😂
DAMN! Great editing on that one. Good job!
I haven't played wow since cata and I still love watching these
The six demon bag, of course, being a reference to "Big trouble in little China", hell of a movie
i remember watching ur videos on background for the fun while playing retail. now everything is relevant seens classic :D keep up the videos :D
Damn, I remember using that six demon bag! Ah, sweet memories that will hopefully be relived in a couple of months ^_^
top 10 unfinished plots/quests/ stories in WoW
Like eranikus and corrupted ashbringer?
Warlords of Draenor
I always liked Carrot On A Stick!
That was fun to watch. Have a great weekend.
I like Hydrocane which is a blue staff from Gnomeregan it enables underwater breathing which is occasionally handy on the L60 mage and helped in farming water elementals for essence of water for Robe Of The Archmage
Great video as always, but I was surprised that Link's Boomerang was not on the list. :)
you've got a great voice! It's nice to listen =) ty for all the insights!
using freezing band as a hunter in pvp was so op :D. six demon bag could summon an inferno to. I would like to add Tidal Charm trinket in this list
Holy fuck I love these videos. I haven’t played in years, I played vanilla - cataclysm but I still get nostalgia trips from these videos
That trinket that turns you into a fish has landed me more kills on casters as a DK than another item/spell in WOW
Fishing players totally throws people off their game
Really well done video. Hats off to you.
I had the freezing band on my warrior when I was leveling him in Legion lol
The Darkmoon Fair card is very similar to an engineering trinket "Goblin Jumper Cables". They have a roughly 10% success rate....only time I used them successfully though was when our priest pulled too much aggro in UBRS. I was able to rez him with them.
I had a hook of the master angler on my first main... Was such an incredible item.
Great editing man!
You forgot an important info on the six demons bag. There was a very little chance that the random spell hits yourself...
This feeling as a mage when you sheep yourself and you didn't know it's possible
Those dark zones look super immersive and cool to me. I wish there was more of really dark zones. Did you alter the images yourself? Could be a cool background.
Quality content as always, thanks dude!
There was a good long time where the mind controll cap would let you communicate with the oposing faction. Dono when it was patched out but i remember MCing people around lights hope before a Nax raid to try and works around gangs so everyone could reach the raid. The player still spoke common / orcish BUT could for some reason UNDERSTAND orcish / common /e text *shrug*. Like youd MC someone and quickly macro a /e >guild< wont gang >guild< ok? Then they could /nod back.
Forgot to mention the blacksmith trinket that summoned an epic hammer for smithing and the old frostwolf insignia, both very useful in vanilla.
My water almost went through my nose when you highlighted the 2% chance for the frost ring
Wow hiru is really cashing in on this vanilla wow craze
I used the MC helm on the northern Alterac Valley bridge with my Alliance Hunter, good times :D
1:20 "Divinve Shield"
we got him
speaking about uniqueness, in MOP patch, there was a Worlock quest that turned your fire to green instead of yellow color.
At the very first step of the quest, the NPC requested you to talk to your demon to find the direction of an item (or person).
That was the only chance that you could right-click your demon and talk to them.
I stopped the quest chain right there and I can still talk to my succubus today, and see her asking "what's the matter, Master" to me!!
Yes, she calls me Master.
the ring reminded me of the epic ring that could drop from the final boss in scarlet monasterys library wing or whatever it was called, it also had some freezing-when-struck chance and was quite interesting since i think it's the lowest level epic items.
I'd love to see a video about maybe odd areas that were used for niche/odd vanilla quests that have no/little use today but look interesting. Like the statue by Booty Bay.
Piccolo of the Flaming Fire, when I played forced players to dance in place without the ability to break it.
This would also stop you from doing whatever you were doing at the time.
My guild actually ran farming runs in Strat to have enough people to get it.
We then committed trade terrorism by shutting down the AH in Org.
Dartol's Rod of Transformation was a pretty cool item
great production quality.
Caer Morrow that you talk about in #3 on the list has to be a reference to Kaer Moren from The Witcher if I had to guess.
Heres a fun fact about Six Demon Bag, until abit into BC, the item's damage stacked with Spell Power, so you could use the item and do quite abit of damage if you had enough Spell Power, also the polymorph effect had a like... 1% chance i think? to back fire and polymorph you instead (now this is just a rumour, never personally used the bag enough myself to confirm it)
I've never played WoW and I still love watching these videos 😁👍
I think you missed the Piccolo of the Flaming Fire.
Best trinket
I remember looting a Freezing Band as a rogue in I think Cata Stratholme, I liked to collect odd equippables before I even had a concept of them having value, so it may still be in his bank, though it's likely not worth much nowadays.
The Horned Viking Helm was a mail item, not plate back then as well.
I actually got a Freezing Band on my Mage during Vanilla. I was just grinding out XP to get those last 2 levels to 60, killing the Lashers in Northern Un'Goro. All of a sudden, boom! Ring! Was pretty legit.
Oh man, the Luffa. I actually still have the Luffa in my bank of the character I played back then.
The stranglethorn fishing extravaganza changed with legion - instead of being first 3 people per server it's first 50 people per region - eu/us etc - this seems to make it harder, with people on lower pop servers(shards?) having a large advantage as they do not have to compete and can thus complete it faster, making it such that several times on my heavily populated server nobody ended up getting it.
Edit Realm -> region
@@matsen1153 yeah, that, dont delete or this will be confusing XD
2%
SINTRAL 2 % !!!!
SINTRAL
2%!!
2%!!!!!
You forgot to mention that the Six Demon Bag comes from the movie Big Trouble in Little China staring Kurt Russel.
I had the freezing ring on my first character, a shaman. I had no idea that you could sell it on the ah, so I just equipped it....
My old DK tank would use 2 Freezing Bands and an Earthshaker for awesome tanking crowd control
Lol, I remember doing the boot flask chain 😂😂 what a pain in the arse, but I still have that trinket on my priest, and the essence from scholomance :)
Gnomish Turban of Psychic Might, was a reward for the Draconic for Dummies books, it was an epic cloth helm that reduced the chance of being mind controlled or feared by something like 10-20%. This quest line(was a human so, I had to do it), while not available to the general population at the time as you not only had to rep grind brood of nozdormu, but also foil the plans of Dr. Weevil, which were very difficult in retrospect when considering during vanilla only about 1% of the peak population raided(Vanilla at one time had more players than people in Ireland). I remember there was also a ring reward that gave you underwater breathing, or an Ash Robe. The final quest gave you the choice of BWL equivalent weapons. I combined the Turban and ZG Mage Necklace in PVP to shut down Undead Shadow Priests or Warlocks.
Drakisath amulet so that Vael can assist you in the Dal'Rend boss fight in Upper Black Rock Spire.(Still remember the WoW Census on the most deadly mobs in the game, Vael coming in second place, with kobold miner as number one.
Green. Dragonscale. Armor. The leather that won Warsong Gulch! Druid equips this level 40 green leather chest piece, grabs the flag, cat form, sprint, and most people fell asleep trying to stop them. Dragonscales were extremely rare as I had my warlock friend craft me a Chromatic Cloak after the launch of Dire Maul.
I think the Crystal Spider set from Black Rock Spire rarespawn deserves a mention as to how weird and ridiculous weapons and sets used to/will be, but there with the claw weapons from MC, or the Black Blade of Sharham.
Also the Gnomish Death Ray really should get some loving here. I remember the one time it worked(wow engineering is not an exact science) out side of black rock mountain and hit for over 5k damage. In vanilla. A lot of the engineering stuff was weird, but the most beloved items were items that linked World of Warcraft, to the rts series, such as the goblin sapper charge which, we all know how goblins blow things up. With style.
Will you be publishing a video on consumable items? Such as the Felwood Herbs, Magic Dust, Rope Nets, Noggenfogger, and Deviate Fish? The Vanilla world was full of enough crazy and random weird stuff that if you had the time, knowledge, and skill to find them, as a mage I could sheep a person, sleep another, and then throw a rope on a warrior. Granted I had Nax gear when I solo pvp'd.
Delphi
when I played in mists of pandaria twisting nether worked like this in arena. If you had a teammate alive it worked normally, but if you were to be the last player killed then twisting mothers effect cpuldnt be activated as the match was over
Never seen anyone else use that fishing tournament trinket.
& I've had the ring & the trinket since BC!
Man, I remember a time in WotLK where I ruled the fishing tournament for about a month to get all the items from the vendor.
Good times!
I used to use the Darkmoon Card: Twisted Nether when I ran flags as a Druid in Warsong Gulch, if I happened to die and it popped I would immediately hit the resurrection button and pick the flag back up Nature's Swiftness heal myself and rejuvenation and go back into travel form and start running, almost every time the other team had no clue what the hell happened and you could see them walking around a bit confused for 3-5 seconds, because I'd spawn as a ghost (as you normally do when you rez and "re-materialize" I guess you would call it) and with latency differences and stuff I'd be already off in travel form and they wouldn't see the flag XD
I also used to use Engineering Reflectors (Flame, Frost, and Shadow which came after the other two) and either have a mage one shot himself with PoM/AP/Pyroblast or a Shaman Frost Shock himself or Warlocks Death Coil or fear themselves, was fun times.
The reason Skull of Impending Doom is so good is because the damage tick breaks things like polymorph. I'm surprised you glossed over that as "niche pvp uses," it's like the number 1 ultra famous use of the thing.
There used to be a flute that dropped off the mailman in Strat. Its only use was you could make other players dance with it
The Timbermaw Trinket is great as well. It summons a tibermaw bear to heal you. A player must farm timbermaw rep at the north most part of felwood so you can buy it from the timbermaw hold, inside the tunnel between Felwood & Winterspring
Barovs peasent caller is my favorite.
I had the mind control cap on all my twinks in Vanilla, used to love throwing people off LM cliff in Arathi with that thing. oh the memories
I got Thunderbrew flask "#4", on my original char. Can't remember how I got the quest in the first place, probably because I was helping friends clear the Deadmines and we had a walk outside. But I remember for sure doing this quest before I was 60.
#3, you forgot t mention the special vendor that you could interact with. And Krastinov wasn't a "rare elite" you had to kill him to open the last boss.
A little, funny thing to do in classic as Warrior:
- Equip Ravager
(For even more fun- Use Retalilate)
- Use Thunderbrew Boot Flask
- Proc the Ravager
One of the best animations ever!
I used the Twisting Nether trinket a lot in battlegrounds especially AV. I had it set to be the final trinket in my Trinket Menu rotation (addon that auto swaps trinkets after using them) so there was many times I would have Twisting Nether equipped and get the proc in PVP. You are best off just popping it right away if you get the proc because if they enemy take your medal then you can't use the revive.
One of the main uses for Skull of Impending Doom was breaking CCs like Blind and Polymorph in pvp. Thus the HP loss from the skull could actually be used to your advantage.
As a rogue the luffa would come in handy to restealth, and combined with smolderwebs eye, you had some decent advantages in rogue vs rogue
Mind you, you would basically always want to have their pvp trinket equipped, but one can prepare for some fights more than others
