• Vendors sell it for 74s 23c and buy it back for 14s 84c. That is the ceiling for an auction price while vendors stock it.
• Quest reward from Serena Bloodfeather.
• Sources are what 34 players running the addon saw in game, summed across everyone who contributes; a rate needs at least twenty loot windows.
