Soul Harvester

[Elu]

I read in the stickied topic that Soul Harvester is not yet available from the quest, but I'm guessing this hasn't been looked at since before the 1.8 patch that was released a few days ago, and as far as I know (and from what I've read), the weapon was added in 1.8 in retail.

So I'm wondering, does anyone know if this weapon is now a reward from the quest, or is it still not possible to get it?

Don't know.

About the Soul Harvester though, it is a nice staff for Warlocks and a cool-looking scythe, but strictly speaking the Abyss Shard is the better choice of quest reward because it gives you a free voidwalker summon (no mana or shard cost) on a 30 min cd. When you couple that with mechanics that refund soul shards for pets that get dismissed, like using flight paths or ordering your VW to stay while you run out of range, it's basically an item that gives you a free soul shard every 30 min. So the Abyss Shard is an item that doesn't stop being useful, while you will probably upgrade beyond the Soul Harvester.

Is the quest available?

Definitely get the trinket. That's a nice flavor trinket like Black Book. Something you will only use for special occasions, but no substitute or alternative. A staff can always be replaced!

The quest is available as of the green dragon patch; if you already did the prereq quest early on after server release (killing trees & slimes in felwood), you'll probably have to re-do it. That quest was reset for me, at least.

The staff is excellent for lvl-50, but having the option of a free soul shard every half hour from the convenience of town is pretty handy imo.

Is it instant cast?

[Ravni]

Nope, just the normal 10sec cast time. It would be pretty amazing if instant - would basically be fel dom + sac trinket if that was the case. It's just for lazy shards.

Are people actually serious about this whole "Take the trinket" stuff?
I mean, who the fuck cares about *one* soulshard every half an hour. With a 30 second equip CD.

Like really? That seems just tedious to me man.

cant tell if srs or troll...

the uniqueness and use of the trinket's ability is unmatched by anything that will ever be put in the game, ever. sure it can be only 1 shard every 30mins, but that alone is worth it, especially if youre out of shards and you need to SS the tank.

trinket is useless
weapon can last you til you get a decent MH + AV exalted or jindoo offhand and also sells for more gold

take weapon over trinket anyday.

Srsly? I mean...1 Soulshard will never be anything. Never. Ever. Esp with 30 seconds until you can use it. And then cast for 10 seconds. And then let the pet reset for the soulshard. In that time you can get 2 shards.

Esp not one every 30 minutes. Just buy another soulbag and farm it full and put it into your bank.

If its in an instance that you run out of shards...Yeah that seems unlikely, since you can always get yourself one.

...I guess everybody has its own tastes, but you over rate that thing WAY to much my friend.


That staff on the other hand, yes it will be replaced in time, but it will make the time until then a lot more ...nice.
