Ah, the Hydrocane. Utility item extraordinaire.

OMG this thing is great! I used this at level 60 to farm up a Big Iron pole in Desolace! Underwater breathing!

Kommentar von 8271

Well this thing is good when you hate going underwater because of the breath thing. For undead this is worthless. Other races should use while underwater to fight murlocs, quests, ect.

Kommentar von 9059

This one is awesome for every class that can wield a staff, not so much for for its stats but because it has Underwater Breathing on it. My level 60's still has this staff just so you can go under water for along time when needed.

Kommentar von 9029

The frost resistance isn't that bad as well, although I'm sure Naxxramas-raiding guilds will probably have better staves at their disposal. It's a fun item to have, nevertheless.

Reminds me of when I found a staff that conjured a small muffin to eat. My level 12 alt was overjoyed.

Kommentar von Taiyoumaru

Alternatives to underwater breathing are:

*Being a forsaken. Temporary solution tho.
*Being a warlock
*Being a shaman
*Being buffed by a warlock with his underwater breathing spell
*Being an engineer with a Deepdive Helmet https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=10506
*Drinking a water breathing elixir https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=5996 or https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=18294
*Being a forsaken warlock engineer with a deepdive helmet and a hydrocane, buffed with underwater breathing spell and a greater underwater breathing elixir. That should take care of ya :P

Kommentar von kazalfarah

One of the best things about this staff is that weapons are changable during combat. So you can use it to reset your breath, then switch it with your main weapon to basically breathe forever underwater

Kommentar von 9545

A decent staff but if your a caster you're probably still using the Staff of Westfall if not better.

Kommentar von Seatox

This baby let me chase down and terminate a tauren druid in the sea just off of Darkshore - They died from a combination of running out of mana from shape shifting between sealform and casterform to heal, and sheer shock at the mage that just wouldn't drown, even though we were both perilously close to the fatigue boundary and down quite deep.

Kommentar von Badadz

Easily soloable as 49 Mage as you can bypass all mobs to Viscous Fallout & also bypass all mobs out for a reset of the instance. (Could probably come in at 44). At this level you can survive agroing 2 or 3 mobs if required.

Steps:
After entering portal run to the first T junction and turn left and hug the wall. At the first pylon jump down onto large COG on bottom level and repair health. Move to the bottom of the COG and wait for Viscous Fallout as his route walks right past here.

Note: You can pull him while he is near slime creatures and they wont agro.

To get out:
From cog head to nearest wall and turn right and follow wall to first opening. Go up here and into the safe area. Then go up the stairs and take first left and then turn right and either hug the wall or run along edge depending where mobs are positioned (Use the COG as reference as to where the exit is that has the portal). Run out portal reset and repeat until you get the Hydrocane.

I had a bad run of drop luck and took me 22 runs OMG

Kommentar von 42924

Ah...Hydrocane,this staff is really awesome for PvP and PvE :),usefull on some underwater quests,even some which are tagged as Group ones cause of the breath problem.As kazalfahra mentioned its changeable during combat so for meele classes you can just equip it when your breath starts ending and unequip it(I am a MM hunter so i dont need to do that).Also usefull as a nightelf to dive in the water and shadowmeld-enemy players wont find you that way.(Btw Badadz when i was at that lvl it droped on every run i went and it also fel while boosting a friend,so you really had bad luck :P)

Kommentar von 76959

wow my mage probably needs that cuz he only got that stupid BFD staff that just adds 11 intellect :P i can use a better staff

Kommentar von 119023

Hydrocane is a 2h staffwith +15 frost damage thats allows underwater breathing. It is dropped by Viscous Fall out in Gnomegeran (instance in Dun morogh).

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you get this drop, keep this staff in your inventory. It relatively useless as a primary, but the underwater breathing aspect of it is INVALUABLE.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have it since a looooong time, i can't remember the level i was when i dropped.

Now i'm lvl60, and it still takes a slot in my bag, and it's price less...

Kommentar von Thottbot

best snorkel. period : )

Kommentar von Thottbot

It drops off an elemental called "Vicous Fallout" in the Gnomeregan instance, there he patrols between his fellow elementals. If you've ever been there, you should know what I'm talking about already. Just jump down the ledge and wait for him to come.

The thing is, he's quite easy to solo and you can do hourly runs (as long as you're +27). And, even if you fail getting Hydrocane, Toxic Revenger (dagger) and Acidwalkers (cloth boots) also sells quite nice (especially for items around that level), so the doing is not completely hopeless.

Hydrocane has little use for Warlocks, as mentioned, but even druids with Aquatic Form may find it easier equipping another stave than start shapeshifting underwater. This item is a must for every class!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Another step-by-step guide (for 60's or whatever...it matters not):

- get in a group
- instance in
- leave group
- run down the path
- to the left, drop down to the gear
- /target viscous
- wait for it to come close, then aggro it, solo it
- if it drops, yay. If not, log out
- log back in, you will be at the entrance
- instance out
- grab another guy
- instance in
- repeat

Kommentar von Thottbot

was solo running through with my 60 hunter and was just basically killing everything..picked this up and didn't even know what it was until i went to sell it and noticed the underwater breathing..lives in my inventory now permananently! great tool! even managed to level up my weapon skill with it because it doesn't do all that much damage against higher level healer dude...just stand there and let the guy heal himself most of the time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

For quests that make you swim, priceless.

Don't forget about the PVP advantage this gives you. Nearly instant full breath without wasting a potion or any mana.

And, to think, I almost sold it. Very much worth the farming effort.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got this with my mage. By then it was the best staff I had. Now as lvl 60, I still have it next to my trinkets in my inventory. Great in Booty Bay where you have to kill underwater elite murlocs, and several other stuff.

Also, when I was lower lvl in STV, it was a great way of escaping horde (swimming under water with blink, makes it harder to get caught). :) It's also useful if you need to go AFK for a while (if there's no mobs under water) - swim down and stay there, quite safe from mobs and opposing hordies (or vice versa).

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got it on my 5th try. I just ran in the instance, ran down the first hallway ("Clockwerk Run"), jumped off the ledge to the ground floor in the Hall of Gears, and waited a minute or so for Viscous Fallout. I'd kill him and then run left (left if your back is against the wall) to the door into the Dormitory. I'm a priest, so to avoid any fighting, I cast Mind Soothe on all the troggs on the stairs, run through the Dormitory area (the place with the machines to wash the Grime-Encrusted objects), and up the next flight of stairs to the ledge circling the Hall of Gears. I turned right and Mindsoothed everyone along the way back to the Clockwerk Run. If you're high-enough a level, you can just turn on PW:S or some equivalent and run through all the troggs. I'd go through the instance window, right-click my portrait, hit "Reset all instances" and try again.

Loot: Acidic Walkers x2; Toxic Revenger x2 (but that's unique so I only got to keep one of them), and Hydrocane.

Kommentar von Thottbot

took my lvl66 hunter in there, killed him twice cant loot the staff, was able to loot the bubbling water no problem, did blizz patch this so you cant loot blue items far below your level to prevent shard farming?

edit: nevermind. disabled all my addons and was able to loot - probably was "auto bind on pickup" addon preventing me from picking it up

Kommentar von Thottbot

im 70, i boosted myself to the boss
kill him once
twice
three times
and on the 4th he dropped hydrocane
UNDERWATER BREATHIN HERE I COME!

Kommentar von Thottbot

This staff is unfair toward warlocks. I demand a staff that let me slow-fall when used!

..please?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Using this with my lvl 28 warrior its a blast! good damage, ppl are all but set out when i duel, but beats the living sh.. out of most ppl my lvl:)

Its a bit untraditional but what the heck i can have fun and go deep sea fishing all i want.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ok, If you want to farm this fantastic questing stave for everyother class besides the Pimpin Warlock all you have to do is ...

-enter gnomer
-walk striaght off the edge after taking care of the 2-3 troggs in you way and then jump.
-heal up and search for the viscous fallout
-kill fallout, if doesn't drop you can still sell all the blues (which are excelent gears for mages and rogues mid 30 lvl)- for about 5g per 30 minutes if you are efficient (sell in the clean zone to trash vendors)
-avoid fallouts by stealth or just kill yourway to the clean zone
-climb stairs to dormitory, and exit instance
-RINSE AND REPEAT I EARNED 10GOLD IN 1HOUR OF FARMING THIS GUY ON MY ROGUE lvl 41 GOT THE TOXIC REVENGER FOR ME AND MY ROGUE FRIEND AND GOT THE STAVE FOR BOTH OF US. Its worth its while. keep it forever unless your cool and decide to roll engineering as a profession and make a deepdivehelm.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I ran gnomer once today, and got the boots and was happy. went back to IF and saw a preist with it. asked him where he got it, went back gnomer, got it on my second try, nice.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was dualboxing my lvl 30 Mage thru Gnomer, got the boots twice then the staff. Nice thing to have until Illusionary Rod. And even then it will be awesome to have something for underwater breathing.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

3 gnomer runs and 1 pair fo the boots, havnt seen anything else drop I must be cursed or something

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got this on my 6th kill. Very useful staff and I will keep it forever surely.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

NeloSpardaAngelo there said that he sold the Staff... Well I'm a rogue aswell so have no use for it BUT I CANT SELL IT ANYWHERE Please tell me where I can sell it?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

At some point this was stealth nerfed and it was changed from a Passive effect (worked in your inventory) to an Equip effect (must have it equipped for the water breathing to work). For mages this isn't too important, but for all the rogues who took time to farm one, it's disappointing.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got it on the third stealth run as a 52 druid... This will be a permanent addition to my arsenal. Incredibly useful.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got it on my first gnomer run..real nice staff

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this is one of those items that, pretty much no matter what class, as long as you can equip it, you'll use it till you stop playing the game... srrsly i'm 64 and i'm STILL find a use for this on my mage... farming elementals underwater, this item makes it SOOO much easier.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I had alot of boots (seven) until I finally had this one!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i really love this staff... i got it umm 3rd kill, in group. running group loot with need v greed ideal running and beat out the Druid that rolled agasint me :D i got it the level before i could use... it was fate ^^ some quests (like wetlands cursed cre etc) quests are so easy with this :D i'm never getting rid of it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

In what way was the hydrocane updated?

Edited, Jun 28th 2007 12:55am by Sylverstorm

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got this in my first run, on my first character, wasn't even trying for it... and now, I'd never give it up. Didn't replace it till I got the Rod from the Library in Scarlet Monastery, and I still always keep Hydrocane in my pack just in case.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just saw this staff today while browsing.. then decided to go to gnomer to get it.. 1st kill and it drops hehe..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

In about 8 tries we got 2 of these, one for my alt and one for a friend. Now that's 2 more hunters that can fish with their guns :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I didn't know what this was or where it dropped. O_o. I had went to gnomers about 3 or 4 times and it dropped and i was like omg. O_o I have an Emberstone Staff but this thing kicks ass. And I was the only one who could use a staff in my party. So. Yes. I got it. ^_^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Trying to get this for my hunter now.

17 pairs of acidic walkers
3 toxic revengers
still nada hydrocane

will keep trying for a little but this is getting aggravating.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Engineerers cane make Deepdive helmets that give underwater breathing... but they look silly XD

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got it my second time through gnomer..... heh Im still equipted it :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i ran gnomer too many times for this staff, inturn, i coulndt run any more instances for the day. it said ---> 'you have ran too many instances for the day' wah, cant even go maraaaaaaa :x

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Took me about 5-6 kills before getting it. Every drop before that was Acidic Walkers.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

First run through Gnomer, 10 minutes in. It's a beautiful thing.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

everybody talks about it's effect... This thing has HUGE frost resistance for it's lvl it's excellent for Naxxramas...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

so does this have to be equipped to work? I pickd it up farming for my daggers and I'm a rogue, I don't think I can train for it

Kommentar von Allakhazam

heard of these randomly in WoW. went and farmed same night, got on 8th run. at lvl 60, it was like 5 mins a run so im really excited. its cool looking which is nice, and infinitley useful in practicality! ill keep this forever for sure just to mess around with. just go in instance, run to end of that first hallway, drop down to the big cog from this upper ledge to the floor where the viscous fallout is. its a lot of dmg (like 50% at lvl 60) so be careful. kill him, and go out through the south towards the dormitories. when the word "dormitories" comes up, go right to the clean zone where gnomes that didnt get infected live. hand in any grime-encrusted objects u might have gotten, a nifty bonus, and then go up the ramp, and turn right when u are back above the viscous fallout room. take the 2nd tunnel on ur right to exit. invite someone randomly then disband group while still inside to reset the instance, then leave, then come back in and keep repeating till you get this sweet item!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I play a Druid and when I was doing Gnomer this dropped and all in the group rolled. When I won some of the others were upset because we were playing need before greed. Because I'm a druid they felt that I did not need the effect. All I can say is that the druid swim form is meant for travel only. We do a minimal amount of damage and have no spell casting abilities at all in swim form. Having a staff like this is huge for underwater areas, especially for a druid who needs to worry about keeping others healed and not wasting their mana switching back and forth to sea lion just to breathe.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I seriously must be cursed with bad luck when it comes to getting anything that i actually try getting.. over 25 runs trying to get this staff and nothing... getting frustrating.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i assume he means sold to vendor, its a really nice looking staff, anyone know a higher level one that has the same graphic?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He he i use it everytime I go underwater to run away from some ganker XD they are like wtf lol

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got it on my first kill and i sold it lol im a Rogue plus if i dont need to stay underwater for ages anyway and if i do il just get a potion or get another one

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Dropped on what was probably my 12th solo run! >< It dropped once before my solo runs, when I was taking some low-lv guildie alts through, so the drop rate is pretty accurate.

This staff would be useful in any situation where you have to go underwater. I wish I had this when I was doing The Doomed Fleet quests in the Wetlands.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Good thing about this is that is your a feral druid you don't have to breath for air when killing in water, just equip the staff and you become a underwater breathing cat or bear =P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

saw it when someone in the guild linked it
went to gnomer and it dropped
awsome piece of perma kit like olafs all purpose shield :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have had this staff before but, it was from Grubbis not the vicoius fallout

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got this 3rd solo run with 52 hunter. I'm sure there is a better way in but i just ran to that center location (feigning as needed) then jumped down. Then I bandaged and Viscous Fallout was right there. 3 minutes in/out.

Nice for underwater grinding. I also plan to use to evade unwinnable PvP battles - dive in / go deep / wait em out. Also will be a beautiful thing to freeze trap a PvP enemy down deep when they are low on air.

Edited, Mon Jan 2 11:52:21 2006

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Has anyone got a pic of this staff? I have Underwater breath spell so it's kinda useless to me but I want to know what does it look like.

Kommentar von Kalados

In Classic this item is invaluable for Hunters. You might run Gnomer and pass on the item but I beg you to reconsider. There are tons of quests involving underwater combat, and since mobs and you move much slower you won't need or benefit from melee, so no need to have your melee weapon equipped. Swap to the cane and dive in!

Kommentar von hidenagenda

This thing is clutch for RTV farming in Azshara if you can't self-buff some kind of water breathing aid. Also pairs nicely with Azure Silk Belt (+15% swim speed).

Kommentar von njbaker7

Of course with my luck it took me 19 tries.

Kommentar von Ghostout

So you hate people and wanna grind in peace, this staff and the Naga's off South Shore and Arathi are for you.
