Best hard data I've seen concerning it's proc rate

This is an awesomely fun enchant for PVPing.

But, if you have some decent gear, and need something to grind with, I'd suggest duel-wielding two Skullforge Reavers and enchanting them with this. You'll gain so much HP as you attack that you'll have close to NO downtime.

Kommentar von 4336

You can get this solo as a rogue by sneaking in and killing the spectral researchers. I did it on my lvl 60 with average gear, and i havent been raiding with him. I used some pots like winterfall firewater and instant poisons.

You can stealth all the way and avoid all the other mobs. Jump down from the bridge at the beginning where the 4 skeletons are. Open the doors and stealth all the way around to the room where the spectral researchers are. Be sure to wait for the patrols. When you finally get to the room, the easiest one to kill is under the stairs. Theres another one patrolling but its harder to kill without aggroing other mobs.

It took me about 10 runs to get the formula. It was worth it.

Although this enchant is fun, it's really not worth the mats. I'd suggest the CRUSADER enchant (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=20034) instead. It heals for 100 (lifestealing is only compbined of 30 + 30 = 60), and it grants 100 strength, which does more than 30 more damage (not per hit, but per proc).

And it's cheaper.

Kommentar von 10048

This is a great enchant for any class. Obviously better for some than others. What seemed the most useful to do though is to enchant a my main hand weapon with cruisader, then go for life stealing on the hand.

The lack of down time is great. Pvp action even better.

Kommentar von frmrpreztaft

While crusader may heal you for more and give a strength proc, lifestealing procs CONSTANTLY. I barely go more than 3-4 swings without a lifesteal.

It's really a matter of personal preference. Lifesteal on twink rogues at 29 or 39 is brutal, because it also damages your target.

Kommentar von 10215

One of the rarest enchants in game, took me about 160 Scholo runs to get it - and it dropped from the very last ghost that run. One I'd even forget about, unless a friend didn't point out that we didn't kill one under the stairs. Tough luck! :) Basy @ Hellscream EU, Alliance side.

Glow Color: Purple

Kommentar von 9596

I have found that these only drop off of the LVL 60 Spectral Researchers. I have never gotten the drop off of any other level since I started grinding Scholo, and I have gotten about 10 of them.

Kommentar von 25685

I think that the drop rate must have increased recently because I picked up 4 of these in 4 straight runs soloing scholo for gold. I just gave them away to guildies. These shouldn't sell for 400G given the drop rate and the fact that there are much better high level enchants.

Kommentar von 38717

Just bought this in AH for 20g :) usually sells for 200-400g on Gilneas

Kommentar von 44033

really easy to farm and sell on ah for a decent amount. first one sold for 250 and the 2nd for 280 on my server. But i dont recommend farming these constantly since they aren't bought to often (takes me a couple days to sell one).

Kommentar von 59020

hey anyone thought of using lifestealing enchant with a revenger haha

Kommentar von 23482

According to my MobInfo, I have looted 32 of the level 58 Spectral Researchers, 29 of the level 59s, and 35 of the level 60s.

I have yet to loot the recipe.

Kommentar von 38680

It can be farmed in under 10 minutes by anyone who's at least 65.
(You can farm it at 60 but it might take a bit more work than those who are 65-70).

There was this one guy who farmed 20 of them, he had 20 of these formulas up on the AH - DO NOT BUY, GO FARM (Unless you're not high enough to do so)

Kommentar von Kimba

rate this down

Kommentar von 76934

If i was a 19 Rouge twink. What should i put Lifestealing on?

Kommentar von Rottenstock

Do you have to be an enchanter to see this drop?

Kommentar von 76734

What about the dodge and haste factor of +15 agi? I have crusader on a 2h weap, but use either a dagger with agi or a sword with Lifesteal combined with shield.

If I have a healbot I use the 2h thumper with Crusader and do massive dam, but otherwise the shield and either Lifesteal or Sup. Agi. is the way to go by a long shot.

Kommentar von frenky98

How much its cost in the AH??

Kommentar von beretta

Roughly 2 weeks ago I was easily able to farm this, and would get multiple drops before I'd reach the max number of times I was able to reset for that time frame.

Over the past week though, I have ran it daily..... Reset it the max # of times... and I have not been able to get a SINGLE one to drop.

anyone know if the drop rate has been nerfed, or completely removed from these mobs?
I hope not. These still sell for 80-100g on my server, it was easy gold =(.

Kommentar von 53267

Did you people know that Lifestealing is superior to Crusader for Rogues in any case? And that it is a close match to Crusader for the STR=2 AP classes (warrior, shaman, druid, paladin) ?

Acoording to the aforementioned http://rogerkarlsson.com/blogs/wow/lifestealing/ the proc rate of Lifestealing is 4.72 PPM. If the maths are done correctly, you will coem out to something like this:

Crusader: 3.57 DPS (+2 AP class)/ 1.78 DPS (1 AP class) , 1.66 HPS (healing per second)
Lifestealing: 2.36 DPS , 2.36 HPS
15 AGI: 2.14 DPS(+2 AP class) 1.07 DPS (+1 AP class), bit of dodge/crit

So as you see, Lifestealing is superior to 15 AGI in any case except hunters, superior to Crusader for Rogues, and a very good match against Crusader for other classes- depends on whether you want healing (LS) or damage (CR).

People seem to think Crusader is something heavenly. It's just some added damage and healing- not all that much!

So as you see

Kommentar von 53267

The Roger Karlsson blog says 4.722 PPM, but recently I have seen sources state that Lifestealing has the same proc rate as Fiery: 6 PPM! http://www.wowwiki.com/Enchant_Weapon_-_Lifestealing If this is true, Lifestealing would total up to 3 DPS and 3 HPS, making it the best pre-35 weapon enchant when combining DPS and HPS (in which case LS gets 6 DPS+HPS while Crusader only gets 5.238 DPS+HPS).

Kommentar von 100049

This enchant along with crusader is best twink combo, IMO that is :D

Kommentar von 99434

This enchant is the best enchant for a 19 or 29 twink rogue MH and maybe even OH

but for 39 i'd go mongoose

Kommentar von 109935

On my server it was only up for 58g! I really didnt want to waste money because i was getting dual mongoose for my 39 rogue
:)

Kommentar von gratscot

As a 19 twink rogue it steals and heals about 30 each time it procs.
I havent seen anything else as far as i can remember.

the purple glow is cool also

Kommentar von 113236

I would like to add that the purple color of the enchant does not override any current natural glows on your weapon.

I recently was doing a nostalgic Onyxia run and also got my Quel'serrar for fun, and I vaguely remembered seeing someone with a purple (instead of green) Quel'serrar about 2 years ago, so I figured it was lifestealing and I was going to go for it.

I didn't think it would work, and it didn't, but it was worth a shot. So now I have a green glowing sword with lifestealing on it.

Kommentar von doomlove

I miss stats about the lower effect for players above lvl 60 ?

Plus test about the boost of lifesteal with plus spell dmg and healing.

it seems that the dagger heals dependant of the dmg it does. so would it heal more if only plus shadow dmg or just plus spell dmg. ?

perhaps it will not heal more with plus healing. ?

Perhaps plus spell dmg and healing would boost it twice. ?

Kommentar von doomlove

I am a lvl 64 Rogue. I have Lifestealing on my slow offhand.

It procs very often I think. I have not counted or anything, but guess an average of 2 or 3 times in a battle. Got to have it on mainhand too :D

Lifestealing gives 28 shadow dmg and heals for 33.
I have points in talent "Quick Recovery" ( http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=31245 )

I tryed to use wizard oil on both weapons. This gave me bonus 72 spell dmg and healing.
Nothing changed :(

Kommentar von 124449

WIll this be able to proc for druids?

Kommentar von 11398

This effect *does not scale* with spell damage/heal equipment. In my healing gear, at L70, it still hits for just 20 damage (it scales down from 30 to 20 damage from L60 to L70).

Kommentar von Huntermaster

This recipe was pretty easy to farm on my mage, the guys who drop them are close to the beggining, with 2 70's helping, 1 "run" (killing the guys who drop it than leaving) takes under 20 minutes, so you can easily get your 5 runs in and this should drop.

Kommentar von 91912

Just gotta love Scholomance really, been doing about 10 runs now and got myself the Formula after the 6th or 7th run I think, though thought I would go for some more runs to get another one and make some money out of that too! So, after 2 runs of nothing I entered my current run, first pack of mobs with a Spectral Researcher and I got myself Stockade Pauldrons and after 2 more groups I got Mageflame Cloak! ^^ This is ofc just luck but still, gotta love it <3 (got a Pristine Black Diamond earlier aswell:D)

Kommentar von 81827

got off my 3 kill not that hard

What does the best DPS Lifestealing or Fiery Weapon?

Kommentar von Metaphor

How to solofarm this effectively as a caster (I did it with mage).
Pre-farming: Complete http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5533 quest-serie to be able to enter on your own. If you want to get AD rep items while on it, grab http://www.wowhead.com/?item=12846 from bank. You won't need any buffs no matter how crappy your gear is as long as you are lvl65+ (doable at 60 but requires many manabreaks -> not effective, I tried couple of times at preTBC 60).

The farm: Enter the instance, pull the mobs on the bridge one-on-one or all-> AoE, this shouldnt be hard. Just get past it. Ones standing at gates will always link aggro. Open the gate, wait for patrol and finish it. Turn to left, there should be ghost in middle of 3-5 other mobs. Pull and NUKE the ghost asap while heading towards portal already, when its dead exit the instance ignoring other mobs of the pack.
This is where I had to regen first time (you can also powerfarm drinking potions) when health and mana are at 60% return inside. Loot your first ghost. Go past gate again, this time face right. Wait for ghost patrol, kill and loot it.
Head downstairs and kill the two casters in front of you, wait for patrol (big guy) and finish it. Now get the ghost in middle, also kill its add. You should be able to kill one more patrol in middle with remaining health/mana.
Now regen and kill ghost thats under the stair complex, four ghosts down so far. Now its time to do "suicide pull" again (not literally), face towards the boss, when its out of sight, pull the ghost thats in middle of big packs, nuke it down -> loot, survive the focus fire of its friends which would be easy as most are shadowbolts which you resist, run out after looting, reset the instance, regen and repeat.
This is what I found to be most effective way to farm the formula. I tried several other routes and pull tactics and this gave most efficient time. Took me 6 resets to get it, good luck.
P.S My route might not be best for melee so if you are one then you should try to make own tactic for most effective farming.

Kommentar von Boshnak

Just wanted to add a video on how to farm for this (and Scholomance in general) as a druid.

Kommentar von d3xx

does this apply only to melee attacks?

Kommentar von Eliel

People on the Lifestealing bandwagon seem to be forgetting some very major things.

1. The value of Crusader procs scale as your gear gets better (ie: you get more crit, more hit, expertise). Lifestealing is a flat damage number (adjusted by VERY few talents/abilities) that can crit. If all you're wearing is a grey weapon or two, Lifestealing may be better, but if you actually go out of your way to get an enchant like Crusader/Lifestealing, and can't choose between the two, in general Crusader will be better.

2. Both Crusader and Lifestealing can proc off special attacks, but only Crusader actually increases the damage of those special attacks. That is why a lot of the math in these comments in horribly incomplete - there is not a melee dps class that will only auto-attack during the 15 seconds of Crusader buff, so any maths that assumes that is useless.

3. For Paladins, the Str bonus scales with Blessing of Kings, Divine Str, Crusade, Two-Hand spec, Precision, Imp Sanc Aura and Vengeance and Avenging Wrath in terms of passives, and auto-attack, Seal of Blood/Command and Crusader Strike damage will be increased.

4. For Warriors, it scales with Enrage, Duel-wield spec, Flurry, Berserker Stance/Improved Berserker Stance, Vitality, Two-Hand spec, Precision, Impale, Death Wish and Deep Wounds in terms of passives (man that's a long list). All special attacks that don't have fixed damage will have their damage increased.

5. For Shamans, it scales with Flurry, Elemental Weapons talent, Weapons Mastery, Unleashed Rage, all the +hit talents, and increases the value of Mental Quickness and Shamanistic Rage. It increases the damage of auto-attack, Windfury Weapon and Stormstrike, and will indirectly affect Shock spells, Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning because of Mental Quickness.

6. For rogues, who only get 100 AP bonus, it scales with Imp Evis, Murder, Lethality, Imp Kidney Shot, Find Weakness, Precision, Duel-Wield spec, Blade Flurry, Aggression, Weapons Expertise, Surprise attacks, Opportunity, Serrated Blades, Hemmorage (both the attack and the debuff), Master of Subtlety, Deadliness, Sinister Calling and the Shadowstep buff you get after use. Of course, it affects auto-attack and pretty much all special attacks that do damage.

There is a reason why people in 60 raiding guilds didn't use Lifestealing - it doesn't measure up. Agility for Hunters (who shouldn't be meleeing often) and twink Rogues, Crusader for the rest, until you start hitting BC enchants.

Kommentar von 112611

Weapon enchants are now shown at the character selection screen.

Kommentar von 291897

There is no way the drop rate is 6%... I ran this last night until I got locked out, had a pack completely filled with runecloth, 100 invader tokens, and still didn't see it. Must have killed at least 50-60 of those ghosts that drop it.

Kommentar von 294817

My friend was in Scholo today and he killed 6 mobs and did get 3 of those recipies, I didn't belive him at all first but then he showed me an screenshot of it. It's unbelieveble he got that lucky..

Kommentar von 317354

Would this be better than crusader for a 19 warrior twink? I am using Smite's Mighty Hammer http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7230 .

Kommentar von 166380

Playing on my new twink (Pickaman, Gorefiend server) in a WSG I had lifestealer proc 12 times with 70 melee attacks. Don't know how much this will help, but I have been looking and have still yet to see a definitive proc chance for this enchant.

Kommentar von Skelic

This is one of the 10 extremely rare/rare (blue) items that are dropped in Scholomance, and Scholomance only - or in other words here is a list of all the zone drops from the dungeon that goes by the name of Scholomance. ~~(except for the three last)~~

Bonebrace Hauberk
Belt of the Ordained
Coldstone Slippers
Icy Tomb Spaulders
Formula: Enchant Weapon - Lifestealing
Innervating Band
Malefic Bracers
Shadowcraft Bracers
Wildheart Bracers
Lightforge Bracers

All of the items have lost a great deal of their value because of the fact that they're all close to level 58, which is the level-requirement to enter Outlands (= Hellfire Peninsula) - which is ofcourse the place where you'll find upgrades to these items.

Kommentar von sloppyjoes

I got it for about 10g on my realm, the buyout price is a bit off.

Kommentar von 385376

i think life stealing is good for a 19 rogue twink, the proc is pretty good. better than crusader. the 15 agil enchant and the life stealing enchant is good. it keeps me alive and the crit bonus crom the extra agil pwnes!

Kommentar von Guanyin

Just got 3 of these in a single Scholomance run, I usually farm runecloth/argent dawn rep there.
I usually get one of these in a run, three is even better though :)

Kommentar von Sofiah

I got 2 of these right after eachother, i wish i had that luck with items thats actually worth something..

Kommentar von alexataide

This is the best ever enchant to put on a heirloom Sword and level from 1 to 60. My noob pala is able to kill solo elite mobs 5 level above him. it procs all the time

Kommentar von 314261

No Internal Cooldown as I just got 3 procs in a row on my level 30 shaman,

Kommentar von 537430

have it on my 29 twink warrior off hand and main procs often. procs so often that my life is pretty much restored after every mob in WC (solo). and not to bad in BG's

Kommentar von Feranda

As the tooltip states: "Has a reduced effect for players above level 60." it has only reduced effect on players above level 60, works great for mobs above 60 too, but healing isnt very high for those levels anymore, still serves fine in heirloom weapon.

Kommentar von Arthmas

can this proc off of multiple target hits ie cleave

Kommentar von 916355

Guys im tanking a lv 65 dwarf prot warrior. I have a heirloom dagger (1.50 rate) with crusader and a heirloom mace (2.80 rate) with lifestealing. which shall i use?

Kommentar von 916355

ah lol is it above i always through it was under xD

Kommentar von gfysprez

Flat out - don't give up if it isn't dropping.

Several runs - nothing - got called to supper and first run back 3 copies drop.

Kommentar von 992936

Still dropped by Spectral Researchers in the Reliquary. The drop rate seems decent so have patience and you'll get it soon enough.

Kommentar von regards

It appears that this formula is no longer available in-game with the revamp of Scholomance.

If this is indeed the case, anyone currently auctioning these should consider raising the price, and anyone considering buying it should jump on any cheap ones they see.

Kommentar von DELValdregan

This item has been selling as high as 10000 Gold on Kirin Tor (French).
So if you're a profession collector or auction farmer and you get your hands on one of these for cheap ^^, either congratulations or nice investement for mists of pandaria!

Just bought this recipe for 10g on my server LOL :D

Kommentar von 1127022

Just picked up 2 of these for 2 gold a piece. Gotta love scrubs.

Kommentar von ben13

is it no longer obtainable?

Kommentar von MagicBackPack

As I love this site for the wealth of information I managed to pick up a formula for this and have it on my druid I'm leveling, If you would like this for your twink I am Horde (sorry never going alliance) on Stormreaver server, most often played characters are: MagicBackPak (paladin), Frackingheal (the character with the enchant), Ásshat (warrior), and Icycooter (mage). they're played most often in that order, so send me a whisper, free enchant with your mats, get your twink on and help our levelling BGs (if people are interested I can see about farming mats depending on interest) send me a whisper and if i'm not busy I'm more than happy to help

Kommentar von UncaToddly

I am starting to see a LOT of these show up on different servers. My first thought was that they were simply returning players getting prepped to check out WoD but I thought that on the influx of Icy Chill's too and burned myself on those since now that one is apparently dropping. There just seem to be too many of these to have it be coincidence.

Kommentar von bombtrap

got one from AH for 90g today o.O

Kommentar von wisedada

The reason for this to be a "common" discontinued item is because it was quite a common drop back in times.
So basically, every returning player has a chance to have one or more in their bags.

Expect it to be increasingly rare though.

Kommentar von mkp0203

Just wanted to post an update as of June 2019:

On Stormreaver:
- Market Value (average post value) of this formula is 97,000g
- Region Market Value Avg (US) is 64,600g
- Region Sale Avg (how much it's actually selling for across all realms in the US) is 18,000g

I purchased one of these from a random trade chat post for 20k. Not sure if I should flip or learn and post the enchants. There are no enchants on my server so I cannot see what they are going for. I assume I will be able to make at least 5k per enchant but it's just an assumption.

I think for the time being, I will bank this enchant and learn more about the value of the actual enchant at current day. I'm not sure if many people actually realize this enchant is unobtainable anymore, so I'm not sure if they will be willing to spend extra money on it.

I will post an update once I make a decision.

Kommentar von TerribleAtGames

This formula is surprisingly cheap to allegedly be unavailable. Just bought one from AH for 88k gold.

Kommentar von Canheloggins

This is back in-game. Dropped today from a Spectral Researcher once you open up Old Scholo via the new secret, special entrance.
