Sealed Tome of the Lost Legion

this item probably turns into [item=92441] after you mix it with a healthstone... I say this judging by their icons alone lol

Not probably, it turns into it. You can click in the use text and see.

You know you're playing an Addams Family class when you find a book specific to you and it's [i]unusually normal[/i].

Well isn't normal an anthropomorphic concept? On the principle you're right it's an "unusual book" but if you're Wednesday Addams it would be more odd an unusual to read a Hello Kitty book than the Necronomicon wouldn't you agree? And by that principle I shall not accept that an odd book for a warlock is actually a warlock book.

Sheldon Cooper wants his reply back, Hohen666.

Why can't I do a relevant comment on the way people think without being flamed down or taken for a line thief? Although the hate toward it only proves my point. Which is that many people are simply unable to think out of the box to such a level that they no longer can differentiate in from out and take my reply like it is some kind of philosophical gibberish when I only took a simple example to state my point. Now if the problem is the complex word at the start of the sentence or if you don't know who is Wednesday Addams, well… How do I put it? Google it maybe?

Why not think inside the box? It's bigger on the inside!

Hohen, just to clarify I think the reason you're being flamed is because you're reiterating the same point of the original comment, just in a longer-winded fashion. By restating what the original point was about you aren't really thinking outside the box.

Is it known how to get it? I mean its start of warlock epic questline and all, but i cant find it anywhere HOW to get it? its going to be world drop, raid drop, raid boss drop or bought for insane amount of gold from NPC vendor or from black market?

You can't get it at the moment. You'll be able to start a quest line when 5.1 hits.

Coming in patch 5.2 now.

Has anyone figured out where this comes from yet?

This was pushed back to patch 5.2. https://twitter.com/DaveKosak/status/273528282257965056

This item when combined with a [item=5512] becomes [item=92441], which begins a challenging solo questline for Warlocks leading you to Outland and eventually into the Black Temple on the trails of the Council of the Black Harvest introduced in the [object=212212].

Once completed, you will be rewarded with the spell: [spell=101508] which as mentioned, turns your fire spells, your Metamorphosis and your Felsteed / Dreadsteed mounts green.

The Tome is a low drop chance from rare spawns on the Isle of Thunder.

It [i]can[/i] be traded and auctioned.

I agree @Pinkiepieisfly, but I think other classes should have similar epic quest lines for cool spell effect changes. Shaman's for instance could get cooler ascendance forms or something.

@ttbloodlusttt How is this unfair to Warlocks? They get their own class specific quest line in order to obtain a way to change some of their skill appearances. Low drop or not, this is more than generous, and this way, they get to earn it. Also, I know someone with two 90 Locks (don't ask) that loves that it is BoE. That way, he can give it to his other character in case he gets it twice on the same one. And it is available to every Warlock. Shame that every Lock has to actually try though right? :P

Wrong drdragon2. This is statistics; infinite statistics to be specific. A 1/25 or 4% drop rate does not mean the event is guarenteed to occur after 25 events. It means each time the event (killing the boss) is completed, there is a 4% chance for the secondary event (binding drop) to occur. In fact, it works out that you do not add chances to drop. You multiple the chance that it DIDN'T drop. That is 96% for those keeping track. 0.96^25 = .36 or 36% chance of not dropping after 25 weeks.

That said, the chance of not dropping occurring after 324 weeks is 0.0000018, AKA 0.00018%. Its low, but the bindings don't seem to be a 4% drop from what I've seen...meaning this would be MUCH different depending on which binding he needs and the actual drop rate. Remember people - drop rates are rates, not guarentees! (BTW the warlock tome? common as hell. The drop rate is low because it counts non warlocks checking bodies. I've seen 7 in a 2? month period)

I'm curious if the drop rate provided is filtered for Warlocks only or from all kills from any class. I'm exalted with the faction on the island from dailies and have 60+ elite kills and 100's of non-elite kills from quest and farming and never seen the book drop for my lock. The books are non-existent on my server's AH.

Would be nice if they just added class quests back into the game.

I did the old lock quests lines for my lock back in the day. Made it fun to do some really cool unique stuff. Class trainers water abilities down.

Since this a book, what are the chances of it being made by or with the help of an Inscriptionist?

Probably a drop from a rare or a boss or something. Blizz said it went to warlocks "determined or fortunate enough".

"Determined or fortunate enough" to find one sure sounds like a rare drop to me. Most likely from mobs on the new Thunder Isle. Also, seems likely that it will be Soulbound, otherwise they would have added "rich" enough. :-)

The term "fortunate" should be a good indication that like most things on WoW, money can buy anything. Also, there appears to be no binding what-so-ever on the item (yet) so get ready to pay a king's ransom in the first month or so after 5.2 hits.

Nah. "Determined or fortunate" sounds like a rare drop - you can either farm nonstop till you get it (determined), or luck into it (fortunate).

Ghostcrawler [url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/7811302265#1]posted that this item should be available[/url] now to begin testing the chain: [quote]Yes, it's happening, and next PTR build you should be able to test it. Please use this thread for your feedback on the experience, and please expect there will be spoilers here. (Please do not use this thread to discuss other warlock or non-warlock related topics, including but not limited to, your pitch for a quest line for your class.) To begin the Black Harvest questline on the PTR, you can find an item that starts the quest as a drop on the "Green Flame Infernal." When 5.2 goes live, the item will be rarer but not stupidly rare. Known Issues: 1) At one point you will be asked to speak with a Warlock trainer. The quest is not hooked up to every possible trainer, so keep talking to trainers until you find one. 2) At a later point in the quest, there is a timed element. In the current build, you must finish the trial within the time frame given or be forced to redo it. In a future build, you will be able to proceed even if you fail the time check. This will make sense when you see it.[/quote]

do you have the (health)stones to open this book?

the book is war-locked!

I was gonna give this an upvote, but as it is (or was) if you x2 the current votes...it is very "demonic" lol

Specially logged in to give this an upvote :p

666 upvotes. ALL STOP NOW!!

thanks for all the upvotes! never expected it'd get 666!

The only obvious answer now, is to keep upvoting, till it gets to 666,666. We've a ways to go.

This is dropping from rare-elites on Isle of Thunder on PTR now too. (not 100% chance)

I guess that's the intended drop location for live then.

Any confirmation that non-warlock classes are getting these to drop? Totally want to farm me some of these.

According to Netherspark's comment The Tome can be traded and auctioned. One can assume it will drop for other classes like the old rank spell books

No.. thats confirmed it does NOT drop to non warlock classes. can only be traded/auctioned to other classes. Once a warlcok has one in posession they cannot loot another until it it xferreed via mail/AH/traded then another one can be looted.

We killed God-Hulk Ramuk today and I saw this item (I've played rogue) but it was impossible to loot.

Warlocks with the challenge mode transmog gear is going to look totally AWESOME. They always get to have the good stuff :(

You clearly did not play during Cataclysm, during which this class was all but forgotten, and I think was the lowest-played class in the game. Blizz is making up for lost time.

is there any new information on where the hell this thing drops?

you may want to scour TOT, birds told me that there are some monsters with silver dragons drop those unusual tomes. its not a guranteed drop, you either need luck or some determination. good luck

I hope this shows up in the black market due to I am really hated by this one group of goons in my realm called warriorselite they think they rule the realm but they are just a pack of idoits that do anything to get in my way.

Just looted one of these as well as a Shan'ze Ritual stone and Tome of Valor from the rare elite Goda. Very happy and surprised... luck isn't my thing. Been waiting since BC for this.

Since before christ? :D

It seems like it has been that long!

Just looted mine off Al'tabim the rare spawn. I'm not sure on the drop rate obviously but I was farming rares for about 3 hours and probably killed each rare around 3 times.

The [b]rare mobs[/b] on the Isle of Thunder are dropping these at a [i]low[/i] drop rate.

The item is only lootable by warlocks. You can see the item in the rare mob if it drops - but you won't meet the requirements to loot it as a non-warlock.

[b]Can the Tome be looted if you already completed the quest?[/b] [small][i][s]This is a tricky one. For what I can say: I have looted it after I had already completed the quest. But I also contacted a GameMaster who explained, that it shouldn't be possible. When I looted it the second time, I had another Warlock in my group and also another Warlock attacked the Rare. Maybe one of this was the reason of the issue.[/s][/i][/small] Yes. I've looted it multiple times, even after I completed the quest.

Asked GM he said: "The Sealed Tome of the Lost Legion has a chance to drop off of mobs on the Isle of Thunder, especially the Rare mobs." So not only rare I guess.

Note that if there's more than one warlock on the tag list, the servers will pick who gets it randomly, and internally. I waited a week for a GM response to find that out.
