This just come from 25-man raids, similar to sulfuron ingots but the difference is that the ingots were only used to get Hand of Rag but this is used for over 15 items in Tailoring, Leatherworking and Blacksmithing. Yeah good luck getting 20 of them Blacksmiths.
As a little cultural note, the plural of vortex is vortices, not vortexes.
Aside from being correct, it also sounds cooler.
