Librams
-------
When you reach your 50’s, you’ll find a series of books called Librams. They
may appear useless at first but if you hand them in to specific NPC’s along
with a few other materials, they give an item called an Arcanum that applies
an Enchant to your Helm or Leggings. Some of the materials aren’t easy to find
but they’re not terribly difficult either. They’re repeatable so as you find
new gear, you may continually hand in more Librams for more Arcanum.
For Hunters, you’ll want the Libram of Voracity. The Arcanum that this book
yields adds +8 of any one stat to Helm or Leggings and the one stat you’ll
want is the +8 Agility. For this Libram, you’ll need the following:
30g
4x Whipper Root Tubers
8x Crystal Force
1x Black Diamond
The Tubers can be picked from specific spots in Felwood. The Crystal Force can
be assembled by gathering the crystals in Un’Goro Crater and using the pylons.
The Black Diamond can be found as a random drop from Blackrock Depths. Hand
these materials, along with 30g and the Libram to Mathredis Firestar at Flame
Crest in the Burning Steppes and you’ll receive your Arcanum.
The other viable one is the Libram of Rapidity, which yields +1% Attack Speed.
While it raises your overall DPS more than +8 Agility, Agility is more
important in the long run. If you do wish to make the Arcanum, however, bring
the following along with the Libram to Lorekeeper Lydros in the Library located
in the North side of Dire Maul:
1x Pristine Black Diamond
2x Large Brilliant Shard
2x Blood of Heroes
The Pristine Black Diamond is a random drop from any of the endgame 5- and
10-man instances in Azeroth. Large Brilliant Shards are found by Disenchanting
rare armor and weapons. Finally, the Blood of Heroes can be found on the ground
across the Western and Eastern Plaguelands. Just be careful: harvesting a Blood
will spawn elite “Fallen Heroes” that will destroy you if you’re by yourself.
-----------------
Zul’Gurub Enchant
-----------------
Zul’Gurub contains its own special Head/Legs enchant made specifically
for Hunters. Named “Falcon’s Call”, it adds +24 Ranged Attack Power, +1%
Chance to Hit, and +10 Stamina. For this, you’ll need:
1x Primal Hakkari Idol
1x Punctured Voodoo Doll (Hunter)
The Primal Hakkari Idol is a guaranteed drop from Jin’do the Hexxer and Blood-
lord Mandokir, while the Punctured Voodoo Doll can be randomly found as you run
around the instance. This is much easier than before Patch 1.11 in which part
of the recipe had you assembling an expensive Arcanum of Rapidity.
You will have to be Friendly with the Zandalar Tribe in order to obtain the
Enchant. Also, the NPC that gives you the Enchant is within the instance it-
self. If you’re clever, you can carefully sneak your way through the instance
alone in order to reach him. If you plan on going solo, be sure to take off
all of your equipment and know when and where to Feign Death.
----------------
Faction Enchants
----------------
Some factions sell their own enchants, most of which are for Shoulders. Most
require that you reach a certain reputation with them:
Argent Dawn
Once you are Revered with these guys, you may purchase an Enchant that gives
+5 Resist to one of the five schools of magic at 9g a piece. Once you’re
Exalted, you may purchase a chromatic enchant that gives +5 All Resists.
Zandalar Tribe
This faction has a very rewarding shoulder enchant that gives +30 Attack Power
but you must be Exalted with them, which can take a while. They also require
Honor Tokens instead of cold-hard gold.
Cenarion Expedition
Once you’re Revered with this group, they have the Glyph of Ferocity for your
headgear, which adds +34 Attack Power and +16 Hit Rating. Although you start
gaining reputation with them in your low 60’s, you probably won’t be able to
buy this until you’re 70, as most of your climb from Honored to Revered will
take place in the high-level Steamvaults instance.
The Aldor
This Draenei faction within Shattrath City has the Inscription of Vengeance,
which adds +26 Attack Power to your Shoulders. However, you must be Honored
with them, and these Enchants can only be purchased with Holy Dust. If you
become Exalted, you get access to the Greater Inscription of Vengeance, which
adds +30 Attack Power and +10 Critical Strike Rating.
The Scryers
This Blood Elf faction within Shattrath City has the Inscription of the Blade,
which adds +13 Critical Strike Rating to your Shoulders. However, like their
Draenei rivals, you must be Honored with them, and must have some Holy Dust on
hand. If you become Exalted, you get access to the Greater Inscription of the
Blade, which adds +15 Critical Strike Rating and +20 Attack Power.
----------------
Crafted Enchants
----------------
One of the perks to being a Leatherworker is being able to create the Cobrahide
Leg Armor patch for your Leggings, which adds +40 Attack Power and +10 Crit
Rating. Take it one step up and you have the Nethercobra Leg Armor, which adds
+45 Attack Power and +12 Crit Rating.

h. Gems
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of you may remember the days of yore when socketed items and gems were
first introduced in Diablo II. This idea has carried over to The Burning Cru-
sade, and you may now customize some of your gear with a variety of gems to
choose from. This section will help you pick out the right gems.
Although it’s easy to just simply buy the gems from a vendor and plug them
into your sockets, always keep in mind that readily-available Vendor Gems
provide smaller bonuses than the kinds of gems that Jewelcrafters can make.
Think about the item you’re using, and think about how long you’ll be using
that piece of armor or weapon. For a piece of equipment that you know you’ll
get rid of soon, don’t plug in your most valuable gems. Save them for items
that will stay with you for a very long time.
As an incentive, by matching each color socket with the appropriate color
gems, you get an additional bonus, which varies from item to item. However, in
the case of a Meta Gem, you may end up sacrificing the matching-color item
bonus for the sake of a Meta Gem’s bonuses. I’ll cover Meta Gems below.
----------
Basic Gems
----------
All gems are categorized under a specific color, with the exception of Meta
Gems. Listed below are the gems that are of most use to you. Anything related
to casters and melee, such as +Defense or +Spell Damage, is not listed.
The first three charts list basic gems that go in single-color sockets.
