My Sweetest Mistake?

Today I did something very strange in the name of haste stacking. I decided to finally break my 4pc Tier 8 set and split it into a 2pc t8 and 2pc t9. I've also picked up the 245 non-tier chest piece that has boat loads of haste on it as well. So I merrily take my 2 tokens over to the Tier 9.25 vendor and start perusing my choices and decide to upgrade the pieces that will give me the largest haste/spellpower/spirit upgrades. Next thing I know I've picked up the leggings and the hands. I'm ever so excited to finally have upgraded gear that I rush off to Dalaran and have everything immediately gemmed and enchanted to my liking. The next step in this sweet mistake is equipping my two new pieces and realizing that I'm not receiving my 2pc Tier 9 bonus! Lo and behold my gloves are actually of the moonkin variety! With everything being gemmed and enchanted I'm no longer able to refund the gloves and my initial reation was to open a ticket and ask for an exchange. But before I decide to make any more hasty decisions (awesome pun I do declare) I revisited the tier 9 vendor just to see what I'd be exchanging for if I were allowed to swap the resto for the moonkin sets. Much to my dismay I find that the only difference between the moonkin and resto sets are the resto set has 9 more spirit and gives crit instead of haste!! So...I'm now pleased to announce that I'm the proud owner of moonkin gear that I'm using in the pursuit of healing!

  1. I'm wearing them too, but I bought mine deliberately.

    I was waiting for someone in the guild to laugh at me for "accidentally" picking up the wrong ones :P

  3. Oh wow, I should look into that... I'm desperate for some more haste in my gear. I'm almost considering gemming for it a bit. Which I don't want to do.... but like I said... desperation >.<

    Also, hi, I'm Averna, good to meet you, I like your blog!
