Once upon a time, this item did a fixed amount of damage, instead of a percent-based amount of damage, while still offering a 60% speed increase. At that time, it was considered a "must-have" pvp item, both for the run speed and for the ability to break various forms of CC. Since the change to do a percent-based health and mana reduction, it is less desirable.

Its primary use now is to keep around and use to try and kill yourself to save durability rather than be killed by NPCs in a raid wipe.

Bel'dugur's Note http://classicdb.ch/?item=4650 will still be in your bag after you have completed the quest.

It's trash, so it's safe to delete to clear your bag space.

Reputation is never stupid or pointless. I for one like to gain it and if it is "stupid" or "easy" so be it.

Expect that to be pounded with a nerf bat any day now, especially since Swifty spammed a link to his video on every single realm forum.

It's pretty much just a swiftness potion or extra sprint that costs mana and HP. Don't know if it's REALLY worth the effort.

This item can be used to break Seduce/sheep and other stuff like that, rogue stuns and the like, its probably most useful for warlocks or warriors since they have the most health.

as with the Crystal of Zin-Malor, this one could be used to suicide without losing durability. Handy in raids when it's an obvious wipe.
And as for the amount of damage /mana drain, its a random amount every time you use it, but during the usage, the damage is consistent.

This quest reward is simply amazing. It is the ultimate "get-away" final resort. If you complete this quest chain you will love this trinket forever, and I highly suggest you do as it's saved my life 10+ times now.
