Badge of Tenacity
Ever since I decided to roll a bear tank and began researching the gear I’d want at 70, one of the items I’ve been persistently drooling over is the Badge of Tenacity. Pretty much anyone who’s been playing WoW for more than a week knows what this item is. It’s created by combining a Depleted Badge (a quasi-random world drop) with 50 Apexis Shards. It’s BoE and sells for an average of 1,000 gold on the auction house. Generally speaking, If you play a melee class, you want one. If you play a bear tank, you need one.
Yesterday I had jokingly asked Vishyna for 1,000 gold so I could buy one. Five minutes later we logged in to get started on the next stage of our leveling guide and what do I find in my mailbox? Well, aside from about 35 expired auction house items, 15 successful auctions and several “return to sender” mails from Vishyna. Yeah. A Badge of Tenacity of my very own.
The previous evening, one of my guildmates had completed the Shartuul Transporter event (which can be started with a Crystalforged Darkrune after you are Honored with Ogri’la) in Blade’s Edge Mountains and received a Depleted Badge. Several people chimed in with their comments. “I got one of those”, “I bought mine for 50g”, “I’m still looking for the Depleted Sword“, and so on. The thing about this particular badge is, the person who got it already had one. I assumed he would just sell it though. I made sure to express my interest in obtaining a badge eventually along with my jealousy at him having two of them, and went about my leveling. I never expected to find it in my mailbox the next day.
Thanks again Gerhalt. I owe you big time for that.
