Potentially huge damage at low lvl

[advanta]

Bogling roots are items which drop from boglings in Teldrassil. They give
you +1 damage and last ten minutes.

Boglings only spawn at the conclusion of two quests, both involving quest-giving plants:

Strange fruited fronds
Shimmering fronds

They only spawn a % of the time in the second quest. There are three boglings, who each
drop a root.

Since the shattering the bogling root buffs are not supposed to be stackable. However, if you
split the root stacks up using shift, they stack infinitely. I tested with 53 of them and had
a buff for each, so I doubt there is any max limit.

+1 damage isn't a lot for most classes because the buff applies on a per attack basis, so
you need a class with very fast attack speed. Feral druid is probably the best, though it
is possible a rogue or something could do better with slice and dice which maximizes
attack speed.

53 roots turned melee dps of 92 on my feral druid in cat form to 206. That's a pretty major dps
increase. With enough roots you can theoretically one-shot anything.

Farming the roots isn't that easy unfortunately, as these are one-time quests, so max 6
per character. However, there are ways to cheat: the boglings can be killed any one so
you can camp the quest turn-in point and steal other people's roots. Often noobs don't
wait for the quest conclusion and wander off, so you can take the roots with a clear
conscience.

Bogling roots could also be purchased on the AH, or purchased indirectly. If you just want to
farm them yourself it takes about 5 mins with looms as a night elf to get to level 4 (minimum
level for the quest) and turn-in quest, so it would take you about an hour to farm 60 working
flat-out.

Can the quest be abandoned and re picked up?

No, the boglings only spawn after the quest is turned in.

Use a starter account, create a char, do the quest, stand next to it with your char that needs to pick them up, profit. Delete starter char and create a new one, rinse and repeat.

The roots are transferable so there's no need to have two characters there, just mail them when you've got a sizeable stack.

On my server, aerie-peak, which is dying if not dead, I can farm the roots faster by just waiting for other players to turn-in
the quest and killing the boglings. Farming directly is probably only adviseable for low-population servers.

Could be used at higher levels as far as I see. Someone gather 1000 of them and do a world first.

What did you have in mind?

+1000 damage would be nice to have at 90, but it wouldn't allow you to solo Garrosh or anything like that
obviously.

Buff is only for 10 minutes?

Yeah just 10 mins. You also need to factor in time to actually consume the things, though someone
who can write macros could probably do that instantaneously.

[rockyfortesque]

"only 10 minutes" yeah but every new stack will refresh duration to full

Its a good buff, and as far as i can see it increases base and max weapon damage, +1000 to both is a sizeable increase and could definetly make a difference in a raid if mutliple people are using it.

If this hasn't been fixed by the time the new expansion drops, the dps increase could definitely be sizeable with the upcoming item squish.

Better farm them now in case blizzard does something about the boglings/removes the item from the loot table.
