Is it true that you cant put this on your rings unless your the enchanter!?

i mean, sorta like the BOP blacksmith/tailoring recipe's?

Comment by 19004

Only the enchanter's rings can be enchanted, and enchanting a ring will cause it to become soulbound. Requires a level 35 or higher item.

And all ring enchants are like this one.

Comment by 27334

1) All ring enchantments make "Bind when Equipped" rings Soulbound.
2) All ring enchantments are enchanters only. You can't sell ring enchantments in any form (Formulas are "Bind on Pickup", Rings become soul bounded, and can not be traded within the trade screen.
3) Requires a level 35 (or higher) Ring.

Forgot to mention this above:
This ring enchantment is currently unavaible for purchase under normal circumstances. (2/26/2007)

Reason:
Presumably, The Scale of the Sands deals with Mount Hyjal and the battle that takes place there. Mount Hyjal is a part of Caverns of Time but has not been released yet to live servers. There are a few quests that'll earn you reputation with this faction, but it's few and far between - no where close to the required points for Revered (which this formula requires). NPCs and Bosses inside Karazhan give reputation points towards The Violet Eye, not The Scale of the Sands.

This enchant really doesnt add up when you compare the mats and work to the benefit. I can see maybe a druid enchanter benefiting if they are feral... but the lower level +spell/heal/attackpower ect are cheap to enchant and give much more in my opinion.

Comment by 7446

As far as the mats being to expensive. If your guild is to the point that an Enchanter can get this formula, the guild should, I hope, have Karazhan on farm status and you could pick up the items to D/E very easily.

Take note too, although the mats may be expensive and the enchant not that great, many can still benefit fromt his due to the fact it looks like by the description it can be placed on other non-enchanters rings as well, unlike +2 weapon damage, so manay non-enchanters will benefit from it, and the previous statement above as well.

Comment by 95522

My question is for a feral- how does this compare to the 2 weapon damage for rings?

Comment by altk1ll3r

Is it better for a mage this enchant that +12spelldmg??? +4stats gives you more mana and more crit, but i dont know. can someone help me plz

"Requires Lower City - Honored"

This is incorrect, I just went to buy it and I need Scale of The Sands Revered.

Comment by Corbon

Oh please, that's not even a damn contest.

For Hybrids and Melees in general, +4 stats friggin' blows +2 damage away, especially with slow weapons.

Great change btw.

Comment by bithalver

Have you realized, that this spell is buyable now for Lower City and not Scale of Sands reputation ?
A BIG hurray !

Comment by 33464

with patch 2.3 the recipe has been MOVED to Lower City quartermaster Nakodu. Requires Honored.

Comment by 97601

How would you say this compares to the for PvP?
It would seem that +4 agi, +4 str, and +4 stam would top +2 wep damage.
Also I'm a rogue with a 2.6 MH, 1.5 OH (The S1 Pity Epics) So you can use those weapon speeds to help calculate your decision.

Thanks.

Comment by Mythical

As a rogue, I'd take the +2 weapon damage over this, any time. 4spi, 4int - wasted, 4str - half wasted.
So this only increases two stats that you really need. Warriors might benefit from this more than from +2dmg, since their weapons are slower, and they don't dual wield (except fury). For hunters, shamans (enhancement) this is probably better than +2 weapon damage. Since they fully use the stats they get from it. For healers and casters, I'd suggest the +healing and +spelldmg over this one.

Comment by 172917

If you're an enchanter and you've enchanted two rings with this +4 stats enchant, then decide to drop enchanting for another profession, will you lose the ability to use the ring at all? Or will you just not get the +4 stats benefit but still get the benefit of the actual ring stats, etc.?

Thanks

Comment by Pharod

You will not lose the enchant on the ring.

Comment by Allakhazam

Wow a ring enchant... does that mean we can get enchants on our belts now too.

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone knows if this is a "soulbound" enchant? meaning you can't enchant other people's rings?

Comment by Allakhazam

I counted the cost of the materials from the median prices of allakhazam
6x Void Crystal 225g
6x Large Prismatic Shard 120g
= 345 gold.

Comment by Allakhazam

The mats for this enchant were also nerfed.

It is now 2 Large Prismatic Shards and 2 Void Crystals. So around 80-90g instead of the 250-300g it used to cost.

Comment by Thottbot

I as a rogue would actually prefer the +4 stats, it would give me 16 ap, about 0.20% crit and 80health, that 16 ap would be at least 2 weapon damage, maybe 3 and i would get a bit more health and crit, havent tested since i havent been to Mount Hyjal yet :P but thats my opinion as of now.

Comment by Thottbot

Great for feral druid since they get %20 more strengh from talents and get 2 ap per str. They also benefit from all the stats.

Comment by Thottbot

maybe a stupid question - 24 spell damage (2x+12 spell dage) or +8 stats (2 of this one).

It seems mats are more expensive and enchant level is higher and enchant itself is harder to get - but I hate losing +24 spell damage.

Anyone know reasons to do this instead?

Comment by Thottbot

PVP is a good reason
A mage however wouldn't want to lose 24 Spell damgage to gain 80 health.....(8spirit/int)
Pallies, Druids and Shamans will drool though...

Comment by Thottbot

I cant really understand how ppl can see the cost of this enchant as the problem in this case.. When u will need The Scale of the Sands Revered.
By the time any enchanter is revered with TSOTS u will have plenty of void crystals stacked up in bank..

Also, they are sold for 15g at AH at my server.

Comment by Thottbot

+8 to all stats for just 4 void crystals and 4 large prismatics is a steal.

Comment by Thottbot

As of 2.3 this formula is no longer a The Scale of the Sands - Revered reward, but a Lower City - Honored one.
I haven't seen this being mentioned in the patch notes, so it's either a supreme stealth-buff for us non-topnotch-endgame-raiding druids (and whoever else might want this ;D) or an unintended change, which would be sad.

Edit: oh and the mats have been lowered from 6 Void Crystals and 6 Large Prismatic Shards to 2 of each.

Comment by nistra

is it missing in classic?
i mean it was swapped from one vendor to another in 2.3 so it had to be in the game before 2.3

Comment by Xorag

It appears this is missing from the lower city quartermaster in phase 1 of TBC classic. The tooltip in-game also appears to reference lower city rather than scale of the sands which would be unobtainable until T6 content is released, so I'm hoping we will see this added in P1 otherwise enchanting as a prot warrior (don't laugh) will be pretty underwhelming until then.
