• Not tradeable. It binds when picked up, so it is earned in play and never listed on the auction house.
• Vendors sell it for 29s 4c and buy it back for 5s 80c. That is the ceiling for an auction price while vendors stock it.
• Quest reward from The Fragments Within.
• Sources are what 43 players running the addon saw in game, summed across everyone who contributes; a rate needs at least twenty loot windows.
• Disenchants into Strange Dust, Lesser Magic Essence, worth about 1s 56c on Normal Alliance US today. Odds below.
