• Not tradeable. It binds when picked up, so it is earned in play and never listed on the auction house.
• Vendors sell it for 63s 47c and buy it back for 12s 69c. That is the ceiling for an auction price while vendors stock it.
• Quest reward from The Rescue.
• Sources are what 45 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 Astral Essence, Small Glimmering Shard, worth about 5s 39c on Normal Alliance US today. Odds below.
