I got Dark Iron Smoking Pipe for my mage and it rocks! Also, I am told that it shares a separate CD with this Icon of the Silver Crescent. If that is the case, that's a bonus of 310 Damage and Healing for 20 seconds. Not bad.

Only pugged it once (so 5 shots). Healer trinket popped first time, priest healer had better, so I (feral druid) got it for the off-set. 3 of the next 4 times the same trinket came up, rejected by the healer each time. Finally I told her to take it, because Blizz wanted her to have it. (4th run was the tank/shield-block trinket without a shield-user in the party, thx Blizz)

Mm, I’ve been barrelled repeatedly as a druid without seeing a “You recieve [...]” message – haven’t actually had time to go looking in my inventory for it. I’m also worried that drinking it would pop me out of form fatally.

@Exanimo: not true, in one fight I (dudu-tank) got barreled 4 times without a single mug showing up in my inventory. I did the fight like 20 times as a tank and 10 times as a hunter. I got every possible item except for the remote and the kodo (I got the ram and it looks awesome with marlone-set, yay me :D ).
I’m trying to get my 66priest in there as well.

You will only get barreled when you receive a second mug. If the first one gets dropped in your inventory, drink it before a second one hits you. That way you won’t ever get barreled.
Most of the times we just nuked the boss to keep time limited, as long as Melee moves out when the boss casts disarm.
1 of the Dps (AE helps idd) would kill off some adds if needed but the healers we brought had no problem taking some hits of 1 or 2 adds. (Our one tank would grab the boss and 2-3 adds but most of the time it didn’t stack that high)

Not seen any mount drop yet tho :(

Typical! A fun holiday event and it’s at a time when I’m hardly able to play with work and holidays…

Hopefully get to take him on at the weekend…

The paladin doesnt even have to be a tank. For one of our runs with a very high dps group, I just put enough pvp gear on too reach -5% crit and tanked and healed myself. But its a fun event and its easy enough that nobody objects to a myriad of alts being run through

If I see another coin drop, I will be very annoyed.
Out of the last ten kills: 2 Healing Trinket, 5 Shield Block Trinkets, 3 Stamina Trinkets.
If they could at least be vendored for a copper, that’d be nice.

On the plus side, plenty of PUG action and no wipes yet.

I like this due to the multitude of group makeups you can use. Last night went in with 2 rogues, hunter(me), warlock and a priest. Cleared a few times, priest got the healing trinket and the second time the shield block trinket dropped Hah! Anyway, love these special events.

First day of Brewfest I got myself a kodo mount.

Right before that I had also gotten a Winterspring Frostsaber.
