I’ve actually seen both bindings drop in one run – so maybe you’ll get lucky. I’ve run MC enough to get fully exalted on my main and I’ve never seen the eye drop. There’s a guy in my guild that I’m going to be helping run MC every week because he has everything except (I think) 3 ingots and the eye. He got his last blood last week and we managed to get him two ingots in two different runs as well.

We’re looking to get glaives and the bow, eventually, for someone in our guild. My personal goal was to get the [It's Over Nine Thousand] achievement on my main – and I did not too long ago. I don’t even want to think about how many BC 25-mans I pugged to get rep with the raiding factions (my guild is too small to do them ourselves). The upside to all that, though, is that I’m sitting on 50 exalted reps without and we have at least 2 people who did grind that out pre-Cata so we’re guaranteed the 55-rep achievement once they fix that in 4.1.

I got a binding on my Paladin, farmed for the 2nd for awhile but have kind of given up on it. Side story: My druid had the same binding drop two weeks in a row. It felt really, really odd being forced to leave a legendary item on the corpse…

I’ve been helping a mate grind out the 2nd Binding since around level 70, and have been farming Rag for the eye for a very long time. No Luck. However this week feels a little more lucky than last week, so I share your realism and overall approach – if it happens I’ll be stoked. Sulfuras would be a long term goal, so is getting to max level archaeology, and finally getting to max fishing.

In the interim my plan is to level another of my tank capable classes to 85 and farm MC with that too. A good MC run is quasi-profitable and very fun.

Quick tip: look for the Hearts of the Mountain early and often on the AH. They seem to be very rare. I farmed 7 of mine and bought 3 a long time ago when they were very cheap (150g each) where they now seem to go for around 1400g on my server.

My partner’s been playing since the first day, and I joined him during the first All Hallows event. We’ve run MC each week we were able to – which is A LOT of MC runs.

We’ve taken many different characters through there, and had A LOT of fun.

You cannot imagine the excitment we felt when we realized that yes, finally, we got that last drop.

My partner’s 74 Goblin warrior now owns and wields Sulfuras. It might only be pixels, but gosh, there the best pixels EVER.

Go for it, BBB. It might take you 5 years… But what a feeling.

Dortrine.

I like to be able to walk away at any time. I don’t want a commitment to the game. I have fun wandering around, and I do like to sometimes figure out some specific thing I want to see or acquire, just to see if I can (mostly soloing things that aren’t designed to be soloed)… but I don’t mind if I don’t Achieve those goals. I play to explore, pure and simple, and when I run out of things to explore, I’m done. As long as there are new things to see and do, I can pick it up any time I have the chance and tinker for a while, but it’s OK to just let it sit, too. Anything beyond exploring is just, well… a side order. :)

Warning: Bindings will consume your soul and sanity. My paladin got one her first time ever in MC. It took a year to see the other. That was a long year.

I hope you can get it crafted, either the bow or the mace. I never got it made. As for crazy personal goals this xpac I’m getting closer to achieving the one I set, which is to have something I haven’t since vanilla. At least one toon in complete current PvP/Arena(now) gear. With all the massive changes to the game I went back to my first love, my first 40 man raid AV. Okay sorry for rambling comment but again best wishes on the crafting and the story.

Eff the Ineffable had a retro raid night last night, and we blew through Sunwell so fast that we decided to do Black Temple as well – and when we killed Illidan, we not only got my own personal BT achieve and the Guild BT achieve, but one of the Warglaives of Azzinoth dropped! We had only one character who could wield it in the raid (Gnoble’s warrior), so he got it, obviously. Now we just have to farm it for the other one, and we can get that Legendary achieve! ;)

It was a fun night, though, all in all.
