I had problem to return the libram and all the other mats then i found out that u have to do "Elven Legends" quest to be able to turn in the libram for a rapidity.

its weapon speed

Yes i Have used this Libram it is 1% Attack Speed Inctease

actually. %1 haste is not as major as people think in regards to the alternatives (+8 adility) The only time the %1 haste is better than the agility is when you have an extremely slow weapon (like the BWL crossbow) Im talking like 2.9+ delay. Otherwise the attack power gain from agility outweighs the minimal dps increase you gain from 1% Let me explain with some numbers

For the example I will use the damage, speed and DPS of strikers mark (disregard its stats) For simplicity reasons I wont take into account, talents, specs, outside buffs, quivers, etc. this is just regarding a bow with X stats and 2 of each enchant on items with no other effects as those all remain constant.

Here are the stats of the base bow
Damage: 69-129 (27.6 Lower DPS) (51.6 Upper DPS)
Total DPS: 39.6
Weapon Delay: 2.5

Here are the stats with 2% haste (1 on each piece)
Damage: 69-129 (28.2 Lower DPS) (52.7 Upper DPS)
Total DPS: 40.45
Weapon Delay: 2.45

Here are the stats with 16 Agility (8 on each piece)
Damage: 75-135 (30 Lower DPS) (54 Upper DPS)
Total DPS: 42 DPS
Weapon Delay: 2.5

Now like most things there are exceptions, when you end up with a lot of agility (a *lot* meaning your ranged attack power is in the 1400++ range for a hunter, not including aspect of hawk or in the ~800+ for a rogue minus the above mentioned agility enchants of course) then the + haste could be beneficial. That being said, if there was a +1% crit rate, Id be all over those long before considering either agi or haste, and possibly even hp :)

Also, for PvP you dont want either enchant, what you want is +100HP, no question about it. But anyways, there are some numbers, take it how you want but the only real use for this libram is to make the ZG enchants, which freaking kick ass. This one is used for the hunter one

Talk to the guy in ZG at the top of the steps near the raptor & spider boss

Arcanums will no longer used in ZG Enchant as of 1.11.

Dire Maul Librams will however be used in the new NR20 enchant available from Argent Dawn.

So, how would I come across getting the plus 10 NR?

Does anybody know how haste would affect a feral druid in animal form

Just did the quest my second time, and it didn't seem to take the 2 shards I brought.&nbsp I didn't pay attention to the quest, but it looks like it doesn't take 2 large brilliant shards anymore (or just not on repeating it).

Kind of odd.

And yeah, it works for feral forms - more rage for bear (slight though), and faster in cat for <1 sec attack speed.&nbsp Consider that in cat form that it is the same DPS increase (1%) as crit, except that crit works with yellow damage very nicely.&nbsp It's neat it works, but in reality it isn't all that great.

For gloves I've switched to agi as well as on weapon when I get a decent one and the mats (iron counterweight has been nerfed to 2% at lvl60, and will drop more with levels), but for legs/helm it's still nice since those are hard to find enchants for currently (pre-expansion, 2.0 patch).

It's effectively x% more damage in the long run, just like crit, except it doesn't work on cat yellow damage and doesn't take into consideration that in PvP you move around a lot and it's easy to miss attacks with very fast attack speed.

one on head one on legs, +haste enchant on gloves... mash that with a lvl 19 rouge twink and boom pwnage

Bought the book(250g), 2xshards(10g) and the diamond(50s). Then went to EPL and found 2xblood within 5 minutes. Then HS to IF and traveled to DM and turned in the quest. All done under 1h.

Now it's needed for the ZG enchant for rogues.. 1% dodge/28AP best enchant for rogues in game.

200 g worth of mats for 1%? 1 combo point and you have 15% from slice n dice. Can't see any reason to get this.

You must complete Elven Legends (for horde) before this becomes available.

It increases how many times you swing your weapon. I would assume this would also lower the time window for procs from weapon enchants.

So this could make lifesteeler proc more and such

On Suramar, Pristine Black Diamonds are going for around 400-500g. No way I'm gonna do this for that cost...

I thought this was going to give me a 1% bonus to WALKING speed...I wasted a lot of money and time on this thing, and didn't see until I used it that it was ATTACK speed!

Don't waste your time on it if you're looking to move around faster, this will ONLY help your ATTACK SPEED.

Theres sure a lot of controversy over which of these librams a class should use. Although I cannot speak for hunters or warriors, I know the following information should help a rogue in his decision.

First off, I'd like to say that if you're at the point of raids you should just run ZG and forget about librams. The 1% dodge/28 attack power is supreme over 8 AGI or this about-equal +1% attack speed.

Now, lets consider the librams. Since these librams can be attached to two slots only, I will be considering for the effect of two librams.

16 agility, in total, adds:
-16 attack power (1.14 damage per second)
-About .5% to critical strike
-About .64% to dodge
-16 armor (not considered a big deal)

Now, 2% increased attack speed is a very argueable increase. If you think about it, if you do 100 damage per second, and then you do damage per .98 seconds, you will effectively do 2.04 more damage per second, meaning 102.4 damage per second. However, if you do 300 damage per second, the effective bonus is larger, adding 6.12 damage per second. This is obviously a lot larger than 1.14 damage per second.

DPS-wise, the agility might be worse for most level 60 rogues considering the librams. Each crit means an extra 100% damage for that swing, meaning 1% crit is about a 1% increase in damage. However, in a PvP status, one might prefer the .64% to dodge and the 16 armor.

In my opinion, the 1% haste is worth it until you can get the ZG enchant. Also, it costs a lot less than voracity.

I think that I must be either on a wildly different server than everyone else, or the drop rate has gone through the roof. If you pay more than 2 or 3g for a [Pristine Black Diamond], you're insane... they're really cheap, and since the book runs between 10 and 15g, this is maybe a 20g enchant - if you're not DE'ing your own shards.

Win :D

I'm using this as a rogue. I can't say if it increases cast speed but I don't think so.

It definetly does not increase run/ride/swim speed, engineering (bomb use) speed, quest-item-using-speed or anything like that.

I am having trouble turning the libram in to the NPC inside DM library, has anyone done it since the patch? The NPC won't do anything different whether i have the libram on me or not.

-----------------

do the quest "elven legends" first. then he should give you the quest

yeah, 1% seems like nothing.

Well pris. black diamonds now have a way uped drop rate. they fell from 350 to about 75g a pop if you patient on draenor and can see them dropping more... theres about 30 in the Ah at the moment

My Rogue is based on attack speed. I still need to get these when my tier 2 drops for the slots but currenly I use improved SnD and Blade Flurry to out DPS everyone. He is 20/31/0 Proc Sword Spec Rogue. The spec owns PvE. Plus, I just collected the Elements and Warlords deck. lol! Proc and attack speed FTW.

I cant &*!@ing turn it in

How can i get the quest form Lorekeeper Lydros? I have all i need and i cant talk to him. Do i have to do something els before i can talk to him?

this is ownage :)

In particular for hunters with slow guns. Im going for two of theese enchants. The next worth any trouble is +8 agility, but thats like 0.18% crit and 0.8dps increase. 1% attackspeed equals alot more. And with two + rapid shot.. well I smell wild dps

This is needed for the new hunter libram out of ZG, grab them before prices go up. The libram has 10stam 24/28 AP (forget which it was) and 1% to hit.

You also need a Primal Hakkari Stanchion, Punctured Voodoo Doll (hunter one) and friendly faction with ZG to turn it in at the quest giver inside ZG at the top of the golden pyramid.

I am having trouble turning the libram in to the NPC inside DM library, has anyone done it since the patch? The NPC won't do anything different whether i have the libram on me or not.

This was selling for 3-5g on Hellscream EU this week, was 10g a month ago so price dropping again

with the new x-bow Ashejre'thul 2 of these librams, and the epic quest quiver(15% ranged attack speed increase, 18slot) you hit for ALOT...personally i'm getting them for Thunderfury which already procs around 30% of the time.....pwnage
