Yeah, that’s been my strategy as well. I do think you need to get all the other NE rares for it to appear. I should be getting the doll soon, but it’s been a long grind! I haven’t been compiling my hours, but I’m guessing it’s been somewhere between 30 and 40 hours of digging. It’s easy to get for someone who doesn’t raid a lot but has a lot of free time, but I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who can only play a few hours a week.

I got Tyrande’s Doll after farming only in Kalimdor, and choosing only Night Elf sites as much as possible. Sometimes you get stuck with the boring fossil sites and have no choice but to dig there (it’s stupid, really).
I got all the other NE rares before the Doll finally appeared. Was it worth it? Yes!

Well whattyaknow! It works! Thanks for the trick!

ps. I’m answering this comment while alt tabbed out on a bird.

Gear is like condoms. Better to have some and not need them than to need some and not have any!

I had the same alt-tab problem and it was reallllllllly annoying. Especially for archaeologizing, when you must alt-tab to not lose your mind. I finally decided to try windowed mode, which I’d always hated because the task bar ruins my immersion…and I discovered there’s a fullscreen windowed mode now! So if your computer can at all handle a windowed mode, that’s what fixed it for me.

Get rid of? Say what? Nah, I’m a packrat, I sold off a bunch of my ICC gear that was hogging bank space and stuck it all away just in case. >.>

Although, if they ever do need me to DPS, I have a raid-ready mage on the side who’s spending most of his time picking herbs, fishing, and digging in the dirt for that stupid doll. So I don’t necessarily NEED ret gear. But I’m a packrat so .. yeah.

I wish I could bring myself to get rid of my ret gear. I’m too deadset on being polyspectual. I should give shockadin spec a test drive, though, just to say I did it!

Thanks for the input! I’m not familiar with the higher end 10 man stuff, so I really appreciate your perspective.

I made a mistake with the specs I linked to in the original post, accidentally put 2 points in Blazing Light. Oops. I was wondering why I couldn’t get the specs to balance the way they usually do. I’m torn on specs stuff. I really like 2/2 Eternal Glory for 5 and 10 mans. It’s saved my arse so many times lately. Last Word I can take or leave…60% chance just isn’t reliable enough, but I feel dirty not putting points there. But going 1 pt Last Word and 3/3 PotI makes a lot of sense.

Now that I discovered where the two missing points went, I’ll add them to BL…but I really like Paragon of Virtue.

I run a mix build – only 1/2 in Last Word and Eternal Glory – but 2/2 in BL. I find I use LoD on some fights a ton (Crackle on Nef, P1 of Cho’gall), and others not at all. It’s a toss up, but personally I like LoD since we 2 heal pretty much everything but Nef (on regular). For me it’s a buffer heal. Puts a touch on everyone while still being an effective use of the GCD because of the BoL transfer.

Also looks like the ‘nerf’ was out for about 5 hours, and in that time 1/2 the world seemed to riot. I think I missed the whole thing.

I’m fully convinced that Tyrande was a tomboy and never played with dolls. I’ve got the freaking Vial of Sands recipe and still no sign of the trinket.

I only run 10s, so … LoD is on my main bar, but it’s very situational for usage. I’m more likely to have everyone in front of me in a 5 man than I am in a raid. lol. I’ve got all the talents that boost WoG in my main spec. I’m testing a Denounce spec for my offspec/questing spec. It’s kinda nice not having to carry around ret gear anymore.
