The orb is on a 30 minute cooldown. If you use an AddOn that swaps out equipment, this has the standard 30sec cooldown before you can use it, so no hot-swapping.

BUT, it is not on the same timer as Potions OR your Mana jewels.

A very useful item, DON'T DISENCHANT THIS! 400-1200 mana on its own timer is worth the slot in your bag especially if you're a raider.

People raiding BWL still use it because it's "free" mana.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It's actually 400 - 1200 mana restored.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Has anyone noticed if there is a 3min cooldown after using any mana potion/agate for this item, even if u havent used it?

might be a bug i dunno..

Kommentar von Thottbot

Great orb here... im using it with Hypnotic blade which i got last night... lvl 45 kind of sad but still great.

For those who are wondering its 30 min cooldown, 30 sec when equipped.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Since the patch with honor:
*Cooldown after use = 30 minutes
*Cooldown after equip = 30 seconds
*Now +9 to fire, arcane, and ice
*Does not tie in with potion, trinket, or mana agate cooldown.

I used this item all the time for 15 lvls.

obviously you have to be a mage, but you have to do all of the quests for tabetha first i believe.

If you dont know where tabetha is, she is in Dustwallow Marsh in a shack... you should be able to find her on this site though.

Do not destroy this item!

I was pushed for bank space and I'd never seen a 1H weapon with worthwhile caster stats on it. Now I'm wondering what to put with mageblade (best mage weapon and its 1H) and the very best item in the game to acompany it is a book with 12 int and 11 to spells.

Lots of other classes want the book (including some healing classes) so chances of getting it are slim but this thing is very close in effects.

Edit: and if you are L40 thinking as I did 'its got low stats' then I assure you that you will care mostly about + damage by the time you hit L60, infact it should be your priority now too depending on how you exp. Maybe you'll be interested in crit if you are PvP fire mage but there are no + spell crit off hands anyway. Its just one bank slot and dont be tempted by the 50 silver either!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I use this with the Zealot Blade and it is great. Between the blades +5 int and +5 spirit and the Orb's +2 int and effects it is a pefect combintion.

Kommentar von Thottbot

There is a 30 sec cooldown before you can use the orb to gain mana after it is equiped, and there is a 30 min cooldown after it is used to gain mana, before it can be used again to gain more mana!

Kommentar von Thottbot

yeah this is a gem imo. The mana you loose of the low int is really compensated by the restoration, wich is really good to have in long fights when you've run out of pots and manarubys. looks cool too!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Without question, the most underrated mage item in the game. The fact that it's easily obtainable from a quest at level 40ish leads people to believe it's worthless. It's not. 800 mana on average (on its own timer) = 53 intellect, when you need it most (every boss fight, at least), and +13 damage is extremely nice for an off-hand. Pickup a nice one-hander and this will last you into Molten Core.

Kommentar von Thottbot

There is absolutely NO replacement for the + 400 - 1200 mana effect in the game.

That effect�s cooldown is independant from that of mana potions, gems, plants and runes. I still carry it with me in BWL.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i am a lvl 42 mage still indecicive about using either a staff or a 1 handed and off hand. currently i'm using a staff and trying to gather as mana int and sta points. should i switch to something like a 1 handed and the orb (i am cuttrntly doing the quest), andalso switch up to +dmg? ah

Kommentar von Thottbot

i love this orb! it comes in handy when youre in fights and youre outa mana. i cant tell you how many time im fighting a boss and out come adds i have to AoE. by then im oom, i use this orb and it gives me back over 1000 mana so i finish killing the boss :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got too hypnotic blade and this orb with it and it rocks. I thinks its for now best off hand item i can get so; I love it!

Don't take life so meaningly xD

Kommentar von Thottbot

I use this along with my Glacial Spike, great combo even at 60.

Particle effect is nice too.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This item provides the equivalent of a free mana potion independant of other cooldowns. Often during long boss fights, I will switch this as my offhand wait the 30 second switch cooldown and use it to get the mana. Then I swap back to my usual offhand. I use itemrack to make the switching easy.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The dagger from Scarlet Monestary https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=4015/sterlingkettenrüstung and the orb https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=10416 come out to have +22 damage, same as the staff https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=4620/ausgediente-gekritzelte-notiz but you're also getting more int and you can also use the "USE" of the orb. :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

This item is, IMO, a true hall of fame sort of item.

That mana regen, the 13 spell damage.. even a little bit more int to boot... as early as level 40? Even when I do replace this, and I've been level 60 for a good long while now I wont be replacing this til I get one of those AV offhands... I could never discard or disenchant this gem of an item.

Seriously, you would be a fool to take the other rewards over this, mages do yourself a great favor and equip this bauble, it WILL last you into Molten Core and even Blackwing Lair depending.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This item is the shiznat. I am at level 52 and still using it. Why? Because there isn't crap still at level 50s that compares to it. Any offhand stuff in ST only adds +7 or +9 spell damage at the most.

Plus the use kicks ass....its better than instant, you can even use it while casting a spell. I luv it. Until a super awesome staff comes along, I'm stickin with it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just cant finad any better off hand :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

This+Hypnotic blade works great! The mana from the orb has also saved my undead ass a few times. Used it till 53 when I got a https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=10796/drachenstein random enchantment was +29 frost damage. And after you put this orb on it takes 30 sec before you can use it. There is also a 30 min cd on it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

dont get the staff. get this + hypnotic blade. Almost exact same stats, but better, and a mana restore. staff is good for nothing but disenchanting.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm level 57 now and I haven't seen a better offhand item yet. From the quests I did with my main I know that it'll be some time into Outlands till I get a better one.
Get it and don't worry about your offhand for the next 20 levels.

Kommentar von Thottbot

im thinking of just having this in my bag, and equip it realy quick, use the restore mana, then switch back to ilusionary rod. good idea?

Kommentar von Thottbot

The mana restore on this Orb is a "use" (read the description of the item, it says "use")that is triggered by right-clicking on the Orb whether or not you are in combat. So contrary to what Kazetre said in the post just above, you can use the Orb to restore mana while in combat.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I dunno if this quest was changed or not, but I completed it yesterday (2/1/05) and it had an additional ability "Use: restore 400 - 1200 mana" self only with a 30 minute cool down. You'd think it would come in handy, but unfortunately, it uses the same cooldown as your mana-regenerating gem so if you use the orb, you can't use a mana agate right after. I'll take the staff you get from Doan in SM anytime over this.

I use this item "all" the time. Currently a Mana Jade only gives about 500-600 mana back. I have used this item on several occasions and received more than 1000 mana.

In a long fight this item is more than useful. Use the Orb. Use a mana potion. Use a mana stone. Two minutes is not long to wait inbetween the orb and mana stone. It's just basically a free mana stone every 30 minutes. Wonderful, wonderful item.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

In the latest patch they put the Orb and other mana regen items (like Robe of the Archmage) on another cooldown timer.

As a Mage, I run around with the 2 highest mana gems, Mana potions, Orb and Robe. In tight spots I'll use a demon stone. I have yet to die because I ran out of mana.

Sometimes when I use this, it has a 30 minute cooldown, sometimes 30 seconds! woo!
Does that happen to everyone?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

God i was a noob when i wrote this. Anyway, still in my bag!

Its funny but this level 40 offhand quest reward is arguably one of the best offhands in the game. Even at 60 this thing still has plenty of punch and will stand up to any non-purple offhands. It's crazy, but don't tell blizzard. Now we just need 1 handers that can stand up to the staves available. Kind of sad but almost no mainhand/offhand combo can compare to say ... staff of the ogre magi.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just an FYI, the use effect on this item has a 30 minute cooldown when used. Also for those of you thinking of doing a quick 2-handed staff switch to use this item, as soon as you equip it, there is a 30 second cool down. I'd still pick the orb over the staff because of the effect, just be aware of the limitations.

Kommentar von Gibbyy

If you get this item for use for the ZF farm it is very useful for keeping your mana up!
