I run Shadow Labyrinths over and over to get my guildmates keyed for Kara. I wanted the Shoulderpads of Assassination so I ran Setthek Halls about a million times. And now every other druid I know (not me though, cause I am endlessly poor) is trying to get their epic flying form, so we’re doing Setthek over again in Heroic mode.
And what have I gotten out of all these runs? Lots and lots of Spirit Shards that I have really no use for. I’m lucky on my server that the Alliance are pretty much always in charge of the world pvp objective in Terrokar Forest, so I can’t remember the last time I went into an instance in Auchindoun and DIDN’T receive Spirit Shards for my efforts. I just wish I could actually USE them….
The rewards you can buy with the shards are all pretty low quality, in fact only two purples are even offered, and they’re mostly pvp items. I put the image with the stats for the one ring that I could possibly use, the Band of the Exorcist. It’s got decent stats, but the resilience seems to be pretty wasted if you’re not a pvper. I know that the shards are obtained partially because of the world pvp objective, but could we not have some other rewards for us non-pvpers who still have loads of shards?? Please Blizzard! I’ll take anything!
But until then…. I will continue to look at my stack of shards just sitting in my bank … taking up precious space (and don’t get me started on how little bag/bank space I have, that’s a whole other post! lol)
Tonight I’m off to Kara, our raid team is calling down Nightbane for the first time, and hopefully tackling Illhoof again so I can get my preciousdps staff. So wish us luck!

hehe If you’re a feral druid tank and have not checked this thing out, give it a look!
