[40-49] Cheap Balance Druid Twink

[Vandir]

This thread is meant to be a 'guide; for people looking to make the cheapest 49 Balance twink possible. Preferably gear from instances, quests, et cetera.

Below I have compiled a list of viable items. Spell damage, stamina and intellect on the gear is greatly needed, of course. However, a lot of spell damage is needed, otherwise you won't be doing very good DPS.



Head

Gemburst Circlet (Sunken Temple, Quest Reward)- You'll need to do the quest [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10751"The God Hakkar"[/url] to attain this item, along with some others. Optionally have a friend who's finished it.

Bad Mojo Mask (Zul'Farrak)- Very good spell damage and intellect on this. If you want, you can get a +100 health enchant on it.

Chest

Flamestrider Robes (Blackrock Depths)- I'm choosing this mostly for the spell damage. Unforunately spirit doesn't help all that much in PvP, but this is still a good item if you want to get some cheap enchants on it.

Jinxed Hoodoo Skin (Zul'Farrak)- I'm choosing this mostly for the intellect and stamina, which are vital stats for your druid.

Leggings

Wildfeather Leggings (Leatherworking)- In my opinion, the best of the best for Balance druids in this bracket.

Brusslehide Leggings (Maraudon)- These are pretty good statwise, but offer no spell damage.

Windscale Sarong (Sunken Temple)- To get these you need to be able to summon Avatar of Hakkar, which requires completion of "The God Hakkar" quest. These are very good as a compensation for Wildfeather Leggings.

Shoulders

Ironfeather Shoulders (Crafted)- Very good intellect on these. The downsides are no stamina, and no spell damage unless you have the breastplate, which requires level 53.

Kentic Amice (Blackrock Depths)
- This offers moderate spell damage and intellect, but low stamina.

Neck

Gemshard Heart (Maraudon)- Pretty good stamina and intellect, but unfortunately no spell damage.



Cape

Featherskin Cape (Sunken Temple)- Another one from the Avatar of Hakkar. He drops way too many good things.

Caretaker's Cape (Warsong Gulch)- Something possibly useful until you can get one of the other two.

Spritecaster Cape (Blackrock Depths)- This is pretty good. It has some stamina, intellect, and spell damage.

Gloves

Ogreseer Fists (Blackrock Depths)- These have some well-rounded stats.

Bloodfire Talons (Sunken Temple)- Some good gloves with good spell damage. Drops from four bosses, but only has a 5% drop rate. I'd suggest Ogreseer Fists over these because they have better stats overall.

Boots

Vinerot Sandals (Maraudon)- Some very good boots, I'd settle for these even though they're cloth.

Belt

Satyrmane Sash (Maraudon)- Arguable over Chloromesh Girdle.

Highlander's Lizardhide Belt (Arathi Basin)- Good because of the spell crit rating, along with the stamina and intellect. The high armor is good too.

Chloromesh Girdle (Maraudon)- Very good spell damage on this piece.

Wrists

Dryad's Wrist Bindings (Warsong Gulch)- Definitely the only bracers I would keep because of the statistics. Can't argue with them.

Staff

Lorekeeper's Staff (Warsong Gulch)- Make due with this until you can get Kindling Stave or Spire of Hakkar.

Kindling Stave (Blackrock Depths)

Spire of Hakkar (Sunken Temple)- Another great item from Hakkar.

Rings

Lorekeeper's Ring (Warsong Gulch)- I would equip this in both slots unless you have something better.

Trinkets

Insignia of the Alliance (PvP)- Always good to have in PvP.

Insignia of the Horde (PvP)- Always good to have in PvP.

Philosopher's Stone (Alchemist)- Good if you're an alchemist. This gives +5 to all base stats.

Rune of Perfection (Warsong Gulch)- Stamina and spell penetration? I think so.

Last, but not least...

You'll need a friend or two to run you through all those instances. Have fun PvPing!

Boomkin.... lol. nice guide though. +rep for taking the time.

[Vandir]

Thank you! My hands hurt from all that typing. All in all, that took over an hour.

[jdismeuc]

Soo... i tried to rep you, but I guess I was your other rep, I must spread it around. I wont forget about you though.

[Joel Joel Joel 12]

Nice man Now ima go make my Dr00D twink

[frostbolt=death]

good guide but btw you listed Bad mojo mask as a neck item
also you could have listed more enchants but +rep anyway

[Rotty]

Nice guide! +rep
Btw it's very hard to read you should add some colors.

[xollax]

Nice one (: +rep

[Tulladar]

Very nice guide

[manbearpigpwned]

Nice! +Rep

[Zaxic]

nice i give u rep

[Mobbed]

+rep for spending the time.

However, It's a lot of time put into a twink that will possibly (if you're leveling) get it's gear replaced in 10 levels... good for BG's too though!

[Meppuh]

Well mobbed, the whole idea of a twink is that you dont lv it and play topclass on ur BG bracket XD nice guide made

[Vandir]

Thanks for all the posts, guys! The rep, too... although why does it still count me as a Leecher when I have more than five rep?

Edit: I changed the color to white due to some comments on the color. Also, can anyone recommend any cheap enchants for the gear?

[Cenimap]

Nice one.. Thanks
