Can someone tell me why there's spirit on this bow? Aren't Warriors, Rogues, and Hunters the only ones that can use bows? Which of those wants spirit?
as of cataclysm, this spirit is useless, since hunters dont use mana anymore
More accurately, spirit is useless to anybody that doesn't use his/her healing spec since spirit doesn't increase mana regeneration anymore at all for those who haven't specialized for it. On another note didn't Blizzard say they would get rid of all strange spirit items such as "<item name> of the Whale" and this bow. Seems they forgot :P
On Needle Threader's most active realm, the Auction House minimum price has typically sold around 7,436 gold65 silver over the last 30 days, ranging from 800 gold30 silver to 8,806 gold30 silver, a wide spread for a 30-day window.

Unless I'm mistaken, Spirit still increases out-of-combat health regeneration for all races and classes, and also effects in-combat RegenerationRegeneration for Trolls[/spell[, as it has since the beginning of the game.
This is the only bow in the game which has spirit. It is also a world drop. This should give it some kind of value to a rare buyer. Most will not give a lot for this though, since there are better bows at this level range and the model is very common.
Hunters are the only one who benefit from this. The stats aren't so good for other classes especially the spirit. However in leveling as a hunter, having some small amount of spirit and intellect helps because you can use spells and abilities more often. Don't get me wrong, I mean that for a warrior or rogue this item it's a waste to be equiped (better sell it), and for twinks they might wish to get some other item in that slot that would give them better stats.
When this item dropped in Zul'Farrak, there was no chance to roll for it, it went directly into my inventory. I'm not sure if this was due to this specific item, the dungeon, my groupmates, or just a glitch that cant be reproduced.
Noticed there is no disenchanting tab on this item. This item has a 100% drop rate for large radiant shard and if your incredibly lucky. lol it can drop up to 6 but you'll probably never see it.
Spirit DOES increase Mana Regen, though. Unless something stupid has changed in the 7~ months I've been away from the game, Meditation doesn't enable you to regen faster via Spirit, it just enables you to regen Mana in combat.
34.5 dps with a +7 scope attached to it thanks to its relatively fast 2.0 speed.
idk, but 6g buyout price seems a little low for a weapon like this good dps, low atk spd. i think that the price might be a little off.
Monday april 30 , 11.30est, i looted "needle threader" at dustbelch grotto from a ogr'e mage.. ;)
Lol, I was questing there and got this bow on my FIRST kill! I was like OMG wow...
Dropped for me in the cauldron in the Searing gorge off a large fire elemental.
First BOE blue to drop for me in months. /sigh
I got this item twice. First time sold it for 15g. 2nd time 25g.
