Phat Loot Phriday: Ikfirus's Sack of Wonder

But not all sacks are created equal. And nothing proves this out more than Ikfirus's Sack of Wonder. It really is quite a wonderful sack. Not only is this wondrous sack a thing of beauty and grace, but it is also bind on equip. So if the sack doesn't suit you, there is plenty of opportunity to trot yourself down to the local auction house and sell your sack to the highest bidder.
Why would anyone want to buy Ikfirus's Sack of Wonder? A lot of the tier pieces for feral druids (and even rogues) lack that critical hit rating. So, if you're fighting a raid boss, and you want to hit it, this wondrous sack will help immensely. Couple that with a hefty dose of expertise and this becomes an attractive sack for anyone who's into leather. With stats like 200 attack power, you can hardly call this any kind of sack-rifice!

It's BoE so in the getting rid of it section, you might mention that you could sell it on the AH as well.

I would so like to have this on my Rogue. Unfortunately on my server it goes for many times the gold that I will ever have.

The expertise on this item makes it a little difficult to itemize with other expertise gear. There are so many other chest pieces in ICC that are itemized so much better, this seems to be a last resort for those who aren't able to get their hands on any of those. It seems to be best itemized for bears.

Exactly. When a combat rogue uses 2 pieces with expertise, he is already likely to go over the expertise cap. Any statpoint of expertise of the cap is fully wasted. The cap is 26 expertise, or 132 expertise rating. You get 10 expertise with talents from the combat tree. That leaves 16 expertise for gear. This chest has 11 expertise. So most likely you can't combine it with any other gear.
T10 legs have expertise.
Cloak from Marrowgar has expertise.
Crafted boots have expertise.
All items that can easily be acquired.
The Sack of Wonders is a waste of gold for combat rogues.

I find this many puns in one article to be almost sacrilegious.

*To the Tune of AC/DC ยป Big Balls*
Well I'm upper upper class raid society
God's gift to sackholding notoriety
And I always fill my sack
The thing is never small
The Armory says I've got
The biggest sacks of all
*chorus*
I've got big sacks
I've got big sacks
They're such big sacks
And they're purple big sacks
And he's got big sacks
And she's got big sacks
(But we've got the biggest sacks outside of Naxx)
*chorus*
And my sacks are always epic
My sack space always full
And the raiders always come and come again
If your name is on the raid list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great sacks of fire
*chorus*
Some sacks are held for PVP
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the sacks that I like best
My sacks are always swinging
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big sacks
Should be held every night
*chorus*
(We've got big sacks)
(We've got big sacks)
And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, naga
(But we've got the biggest sacks of them all)

I haven't played since the AT first came out, so I just wanna say... Damn! 3% hit on one piece.
feniks9174 Apr 23rd 2010 5:58PM
I don't get it . . . Why frequent a site focused on a game that you havent played in over 6 months?
Squatstopee Apr 23rd 2010 6:13PM
Maybe because I'm about to start playing it again? Not everyone stops playing it because they hate the game...
feniks9174 Apr 23rd 2010 6:26PM
Wasn't trying to be a jerk, I just see a lot of comments like that on this site an they always confuse me. Especially when they include something along the lines of "I quit last year because Ghostcrawler hates Paladins, but here is my opinion of why this new announcement of (Insert) infuriates me and will be the end of the world".

I got ya, I am trying to get a feel for when to start up so I can participate in retaking echo isles.(troll nerd here)
Molly Apr 23rd 2010 5:13PM
I'm going to guess that most players aren't going to want their sack touched by an enchanter... I mean..you know.. because it is BoE.
sorry couldn't resist :D

I don't get it, did this article contain Innuendo or something?
locomoco Apr 23rd 2010 5:27PM
The writer of this article should be sacked...

We apologise for the puns in this column. Those responsible have been sacked.

We apologise again for the puns in the article. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.
Amy Schley Apr 23rd 2010 5:57PM
The editors of the site hired to monitor the comments after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked.
