• Not tradeable. It binds when picked up, so it is earned in play and never listed on the auction house.
• Vendors sell it for 88s 10c and buy it back for 17s 62c. That is the ceiling for an auction price while vendors stock it.
• Quest reward from The Tome of Valor.
• Sources are what 5 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.

• Strange Dust75% of the time · 4 to 690c
