A Very Useful Trinket

Because we’re a Draenei-only guild, we have lots of jewelcrafters. Pooba made an interesting discovery a couple weeks ago…there are recipes you have to buy that create items that only Jewelcrafters get to use. Why? These items ‘bind on pick-up.’ That means as soon as they’re crafted, they become bound to the maker.

While some 'bind-on-pickup' recipes do come from trainers (like the Jade Owl), others must be gotten elsewhere, like The Golden Hare figurine. This trinket increases speed slightly, and can be used to increase speed by 30% while preventing snares from working for 6 seconds. That may not sound like much, but I used it recently in Warsong Gulch to capture two enemy flags. Its usefulness may not be significant elsewhere, but I’m really glad I had it when I did.

It was a reminder to me that not all jewelcrafting items you can learn to make are taught by the usual trainers. The Golden Hare is a drop recipe you can only get by killing the right monster or buying at the auction house. Not all items are useful for all characters. There are full lists you can find; look them over and see what you can search out that would be useful to you!
