It is a law of WoW that the day you enchant a piece of gear is the day that the upgrade you’ve been hoping for drops. I had been resisting the pressure to enchant my Epoch-Mender in hopes of an upgrade for far too long. Finally I broke down and Myra my guild leader agreed to enchant it with the mats and gold from the guild bank (thank you). Of course that same night Light’s Justice lands in my bags. This time the guild bank can’t be quite as generous and honestly I didn’t ask about it for a while (I’m no help slut, I may be a loot whore, but show me a druid who isn’t).
Inevitably, I find myself farming the primals and shards (I’m a cheap tree), not a problem it just takes time and as the previous post shows I have tons of free time. While running Heroic Ramparts for rep and hopefully a shard) I won BOE Blue drop and I asked the DEing warlock to tear it up for me. We started telling about my enchant goals and he volunteers to sell me the rest of the shards I need at a discount, nice guy.
After the run we go to SW and he does the enchant and I get on a bit of a roll. I spend all of the gold that I’d been pathetically gathering for my Epic Flight Form, and ended the day with 3 more enchants:
- +81 Healing and +27 Spell Damage to Weapon
- +30 Healing and +10 Spell Damage to Bracers
- +35 Healing +12 Spell Damage and 7 mana per 5 sec. to Head
Bringing me to a grand total of 1616 +Healing unbuffed and 0 Gold in my mount fund /cry. I still have a few pieces that desperately need upgrades and enchants.
Since we’re on the subject here’s a list of all the best Tree Specific Enchants:
- Head:
Glyph of Renewal (+35 Healing +12 Spell Damage and 7 mana per 5 sec.) Purchase from vendor requires Honor Hold or Thrallmar Revered - Shoulders:
Greater Inscription of Faith (+33 Healing and 4 mana per 5 sec.) Purchase from vendor requires [8] Holy Dust and Aldor Exalted - Back:
Enchant Cloak- Subtlety (Threat Reduced by 2%) [4] Small Prismatic Shard, [2] Greater Planar Essence, [8] Primal Shadow - Chest:
Enchant Chest- Major Spirit (+15 Spirit) [2] Greater Planar Essence - Wrist:
Enchant Bracer- Superior Healing (+33 Healing and +10 Spell Damage) [4] Greater Planar Essence, [4] Primal Life - Hands:
Enchant Gloves- Major Healing (+35 Healing) [6] Large Prismatic Shard, [6] Greater Planar Essence, [6] Primal Life - Legs:
Golden Spellthread (+66 Healing +22 Spell Damage and +20 Stamina) [1] Rune Thread, [10] Primal Life, [1] Primal Nether - Feet:
Enchant Boots- Boars Speed (+8% Speed Increase and +9 Stamina) [8] Large Prismatic Shard, [8] Primal Earth

don`t worry about the mount fund. enchants and gems will help your productivity in raids but an epic crow form won`t. i have an epic mount on my warrior but i barely use it since i just take the flying path. i play my feral druid more now, no epic flight form but i can`t say i`m bothered about that.

My only real motivation for the epic flight form is increase herbalism speed. Druids can gather in form so I swoop down and pick. If I get aggro I can just zip back skyward. This gives me the opportunity to avoid a lot of fights or set up so that I have the advantage of first attack.

yes i know, i fly around with my druid too (miner and herba) in terokkar and collect everything i see, i can say it`s pretty relaxing and if you do it at unpopular hours you don`t need epic form, you just fly around and chill 🙂

How come Boar’s Speed over Vitality, out of curiosity? Just preference?
Yeah, I know waddling 8% faster would be nice, what am I missing? 🙂
(I’m almost solely PvE, atm)

Leigh-
I try to stay in Tree all the time to conserve mana. There are a number of fights that require you to move quickly to the right place to avoid dying or killing people around you. While the +4 MP5 would be nice in non-positioning sensitive fight it is not enough to offset the cost of needing to change forms more than once in a run around style fight.
The real issue is that there are fewer and fewer encounters where I find myself able to stand in place throughout a fight. My guild pressures me to stay in Humanoid form for these fights and I resist saying I NEVER fail to get to where I need to be even with the speed reduction. The Boar’s Speed helps me to back-up my claim.
