Legendarily Speaking

I think this method is as good as any.  I give this the "Boy, Nerg sure bitches a lot" seal of approval.

As someone who has tried just about everything to get his Shadowmourne together, I've seen first hand the problems with using traditional loot rules to try to manage the creatiion of a legendary.  It takes 100x as long and everyone gets to be unhappy together.  I don't think this is unfair that the officers pick a good candidate given that it's a guild effort to build a legendary, if someone really dislikes this they always have the option to PuG raids or raid with other guilds. 

All I would say is that when Zee has all his primordial saronite or whatever, it would be cool if other casters could get a real shot at getting these, and I'd recommend something more controllable like epgp, upto and including a bidding system for these items only.  As a warrior I don't care, but I'd like this system in place if/when tanks eventually get a legendary (DW's chin)

Also, as a lore nut, if the awesome quest events aren't phased to Zee only it would be cool to see them.

I will definitly be posting when I will be turning in the quests so that folks can be around for the next part.  I will also try to set up fraps in case their are cinematics.

Thank you to the officers and the guild for letting me take  shot at this legendary, together I think we can actually make this one happen!

I had been meaning to post a question about how NO does Legendaries, or intended to do Dragonwrath, but got distracted (it happens a lo...ooh, shiny).  If it had been a guild discussion/vote, I probably would have voted for Zee anyway.  I'd love to get one myself, but I'm pretty new and have crappy attendance right now, and at the most fundamental level, Zee rulez.

Huzzah Zee!

This is one of those things where you have to commit yourself, and the rest of the guild, in order to get it done.  Trying to spread the wealth or any sort of system that may seem "more fair" just doesn't work.  Loot council certainly doesn't work for everything all the time, but sometimes it's really the only option. 

Hopefully once we start rolling through the content we'll start to see lots of shards dropping - I saw 1 drop on the first boss we downed.  If that keeps up, there could well be a chance for some others to come later.  If blizzard can keep from completely dropping the current tier once the next tier comes out we may even see a couple of them.  In so much as we still run ICC to help people get achievs and such, I can see running firelands stull well into the future just for lore/fun/completionist attitudes. 

I think a hunter should have gotten a chance. ALL WEAPONS ARE HUNTER WEAPONS!

then Tumorbane will see it through. 

Seriously, Zee is a great choice and I'm glad the guild leadership made a prompt and solid decision.  Assembling this staff is an epic drop for all of us.  I echo the mentions above that I would like to see as many of the quest turn-ins as possible. 

The grizzled elder tauren sleeping in his comfy chair, snores loudly in approval, trusting his underlings to make these decisions while he completes the Talsleep.

Here is the quest line for the staff.  It's in the comment section.

It looks like after we get the 25 embers, the quest line becomes less focused on drops.  The only thing it seems to need is the Heart of Ragnaros to turn it into an orange item, same with the lich king. 

Therefore, the amount of people that can get this staff is directly tied to how many bosses we can kill as a guild.

a good thing Zee's gonna get the staff, cause Relm has unchained magic.

I am bumping this thread for the new folks showing up and asking what is up with eternal embers.  I am currently at 17/25, after I reach 25 the drops will open up for more people to get their hands on some.
