Phat Loot Phriday: Flashing Chimera's Eye

Lolegolas immediately flopped onto the stairs next to his good friend. "My goodness, Throgg," the blood elf said. "Whatever is the matter?"
"I'm not attracted to chimeras," Throgg sobbed.
The elf's hand jerked back before Lolegolas could control himself. "I'm ... not sure I understand."
"I'm a tank," Throgg said.
"Yes," Lolegolas said. "I could tell by your predilection for getting hit by big, ugly monsters."
"I'd like a gem with lots of parry, but the best option is ... well, it's the Flashing Chimera's Eye."
"Mmm-hmmm," Lolegolas encouraged, tossing a long, golden cascade of hair over his shoulder.
"Well, I don't want to get flashed by a chimera. They are not very good-looking, and that just doesn't seem proper to me. And if I'm getting flashed, I will certainly not want to touch the thing's eye."
"Oh my go ... seriously? I mean, come on, Throgg, seriously? You're a jewelcrafter, man."
"It's a Flashing Chimera's Eye. Very specific."

Unique-Equipped: Jeweler's Gems (3)
- 66 Parry Rating
- Matches a Red socket
How to get rid of it: You can sell it for 1 gold, 12 silver and 50 copper ... before you put it in your gear. Once you put it in your gear, you can only overwrite it with another gem.

would be totally phat if this item was actually in the game right now

I expect you'll need more than 350 JC for it.
Mir Oct 8th 2010 3:09PM
Small but important typo: you need 500 not 350 skill to use.
Also, for Throgg's sake you may also want to specify that you actually have to socket it for it to work. Then again that will just lead to the need to teach Throgg how to socket things. As an alliance player I think it will just be easier to for me to cleanse the pair of them in holy fire and be done with it.

No. No, no, no, no.... I'm a druid, with lasherweave shoulderpads. The LAST thing I want to do is give my nom-nom-nom shoulders is EYES, for Light's sake. Last time I lay down without taking my armor off, the darn'd things had eaten half the bed before I could stop them. Who knows what they could do if I socketed them with eyes...

"(Edit: Fixed the amount of JC required.)"
Not that 500 is max JC; unless I'm much mistaken, it's another 75 point jump from 450 in Wrath to 525 in Cataclysm.

A blood elf named "Lolegolas" as the voice of reason. Interesting.
MrJackSauce Oct 8th 2010 3:27PM
Is it weird that I used a goblin female voice to say "interesting" in my head?
MusedMoose Oct 8th 2010 7:39PM
@ MrJackSauce -
Not really; I'm sure there are a lot of goblin females who find blood elf males very interesting.
"Hey, pretty-boy, are those ears or handlebars? 'Cause I'm good either way."

I love how you always use Lolegolas.
Obeyfez Oct 8th 2010 3:26PM
So is Throgg attracted to Dragons?

I never saw him complain about those... O.o
Draol Oct 8th 2010 3:43PM
Well of course...haven't you SEEN Alexstrasza?
Killercheese Oct 8th 2010 3:44PM
Love these articles, they always make me laugh :D
Nickel Oct 8th 2010 3:42PM
you're doing phat loot fridays on GEMS now?
Devo_AS Oct 8th 2010 3:47PM
QFT, pretty weak.
Hiwa Oct 8th 2010 3:56PM
You're offering to take over his spot and do a superior job there, Nickel?
Hollow Leviathan Oct 8th 2010 3:58PM
You're complaining about PHAT LOOT PHRIDAYS now?
Nickel Oct 8th 2010 4:41PM
@Hiwa - Cata is dropping in 2 months. There's tons of cool loot to let people know about. including an item that auto loots everything in the vicinity. But whatever. a jewelcrafting only gem is cool too I guess.
@Hollow Leviathan - Yes.
Bernie Roscoe Oct 8th 2010 4:56PM
Despite how much I love Throgg and Lolegolus, I find myself agreeing with Nickel.
We know That with Cataclysm higher powered gems are coning and items with interesting names.
I'd rather learn about new item mechanics and similar, hopefully delivered to me by Throgg and Lolegolus!
Tell me more about this looting item?
