It will laugh at you if you target and dance to him.

Kommentar von 40799

You can also do a /slap and he will react

Kommentar von Suhov

Fixed resently and can't be used in Arenas. Before you can summon him at arena making you hard to target with mouse and also showing 1 more humanoid target at Track Humanoids.

Kommentar von 72459

He reacts to:

Slap: Does /no emote
Dance: Laughs
Sexy: Flexes
Wave: Waves back
Point: Does /ponder
Bow: Bows back

Summon them all at once in a special spot for completely awesome party!

Is it possible to get another from Ravandwyr even if youve deleted the staff and completed the chain?

Kommentar von 40119

Anyother Interesting Concept, when put into Water he will sink to the bottom o.O

Kommentar von 111097

Is there a Wrath equivalent, i.e., you can complete a quest from anywhere in the world? (I dinged 70 in Goldshire (I'm Horde) thanks to this).

Kommentar von Kimmoz

Is this safe to delete after the quests have been completed ?

Kommentar von rubino7

he wont react to me if i /slap or /dance for him... maybe he /ignore'ed me

Kommentar von avenn

It says Unique and Quest Item, but is it Soulbound?

Kommentar von 478972

As Archmage Vargoth's Staff is considered a quest item and is left in your inventory after completing the quest chain what will happen to it during a faction transfer? The FAQ was not clear in this case as it is an item that is available to both factions and is not associated with any active quest.

Kommentar von JoKo

I lost my staff when I race changed.... SAD

HELLO!

Are you a raider / PvPer OR JUST WoW PLAYER IN GENERAL!

GETTING TIRED OF THE GAME!

Well try Archmage Vargoth's Staff!

Suffering from any of these real life issues?:
Girlfriend break up with you?
Death of a relative?
House on fire?
WoW account got hacked?

THEN TRY ALL NEW SUPER EXTREME ARCHMAGE VARGOTH'S STAFF! GUARENTEED TO GRANT YOUR EVERY WISH AND MAKE THE LADIES WORSHIP YOU!

Just use the following macro in place of any of your skills!

/cast (Insert skill here)
/use Archmage Vargoth's Staff

Now even when you are downing your guild's current step in its progression, you can be a handsome lord of awesome, and get all of the ladies (Plus the guys who play Runescape too! If you know what I mean)

Kommentar von jenetic

Amazingly, during the Lich King encounter in ICC, you can spread Necrotic Plague to the Image of Archmage Vargoth.

It's been a long standing guild tradition to 'drop your Vargoth' when working on a progression boss, and our Shambler tank happened to have his out. I watched very clearly the plague spread to the Image and then ... poor Vargoth, 5 seconds later he was clutching his chest and falling to the ground.

Go try it, it's awesome.

Kommentar von Sarackosmo

I can confirm that a Game Master will return this item if requested after completing this questchain. However keep in mind that normally they do not do this so you have to be lucky to have a flexible GM.

I advice to make a ticket each 1-2 weeks and keep asking for it untill you get it...the time between is so they don't get the feeling of spamm to soon.

Good luck on this awesome (stupid xD) staff!

Kommentar von 672019

Best thing I saw was when a rogue popped this and vanished instantly =)

The victim barely had time to say "wtf?".

Kommentar von 635594

During the Pre-Cata events, you can pop this guy by a Water elemental rift and you can watch him cower in fear...

Edit: Seems all of the Pre-Cata Elemental Rifts makes this guy get shakey

Kommentar von Tygerlilly

***Race changers beware.*** This is a quest item and it will be destroyed when you race change - even though the Blizzard faq states only items associated with active quests will be destroyed.

Note: Dartol's Rod of Transformation is destroyed also upon race changing.

You can petition a GM to get the items back, but think twice before race changing if these items are important to you.

Kommentar von defektunge

Does not work very wall in the Throne of Four winds once Al'Akir is dead. I tried to pop him out for the kill pic of our first kill, and it turns out that despite only being an image of archmage Vargoth, he's still very much affected by gravity.

Poor, poor image of archmage Vargoth. We hardly knew thee.

Kommentar von 226008

A tip for shadowpriest : This guy can be used as an anchor for your Mind Sear.
Vargoth got even more awesome!

Kommentar von sorsa

Today Image of Archmage Vargoth appeared to help me with my Guardian's of Hyjal daily quest, if I remember correctly he's an arcane mage. It reminded me that I need to get his quest summon staff back ASAP.

Kommentar von 344013

I was levitating while fishing in the middle of a pond and decided to say hi to Vargoth. When I summoned him, he sank down to the bottom of the pond. I /waved at him and he bolted right up and stayed "levitating" on the water. :)

Kommentar von LoreMooster

Not sure if this happened in 4.3.2 or earlier, but he will not make the human laughing sound when you /dance with him. If this is a nerf it's just another example of Blizzard taking away a small part of the game that was enjoyable. The game continues to go downhill with stealth changes like this that are made for no reason.

Kommentar von 178847

Sometime between 4.2 and now Blizzard has updated their FAQ to show that the item WILL be destroyed. When I submitted a ticket in OCT-NOV 2011, the FAQ mentioned nothing before or after I went through with the race change until recently. Only that first verse was there, and not the 2nd verse that states completed quests.

Quests which are active in the character's log at the time of the Race Change will be cleared and ALL quest items will be destroyed, including those associated with previously completed quests (ex: Archmage Vargoth's Staff).

Race Change FAQ

When I submitted my ticket after race change in OCT-NOV 2011, they always refused to restore the item. Some people have been lucky with cool GMs, but most have not. So if you have a toon that you had for years, with all kinds of sentimental quest items saved, strongly consider the consequences of race changing. And even though at the time the FAQ was worded erroneously, your items will be deleted and likely not restored.

Kommentar von Blakmane

As a Rogue I can say I've had several hours of fun with this item for a freaking long time, even when Blizzard gave Rogues a "Decoy" via glyphs in MoP, I can say that this item worked and still works far better as a decoy cause it stays in place for almost 120 sec while the glyphed one stays for barely 3-5 sec and is completely unclickable and let me explain why this is a small disadvantage.

The spawned NPC can be a real distraction if macroed with Vanish in the middle of a sudden skirmish, enemy players tend to click on it by mistake, (tested with guildmates several times) and if they never completed the quest chain, the quest log related to it will pop up messing up their gameplay and effectiveness a bit.

Plus it's really amusing to see enemies targeting the NPC and (if alive) walking around of it, most of the times you can clearly see they're wondering what the hell is it or how the hell it got there since I'm fairly sure 90% of players either don't remember the quest chain from Outland or don't know it altogether.

If you're leveling in a crowded area on a PvP realm and you're on a murder rampage dropping this decoy after every kill, players will start to realize that it might be about the same rogue, giving you some sort of personal signature, therefore, certain level of temporary fame and believe me, enemy players who realize this WILL start hunting you "Assassins Creed"'s style. If you're murdering a lowbie or a low hp player with a sudden Ambush and you drop your Vanish and Archmage decoy, most of them will target the NPC wondering what the freaking hell killed them, probably they'll end up checking their logs to see your name on their pwnd butt.

I put some sugar to my Vanish macro like this:

#showtooltip
/use Vanish
/use Archmage Vargoth's Staff
/laugh

This macro executes both actions at the same time (no double tap/click) and Vanish and the staff have the same 2m CD

This item is pure, priceless, pwnage magic.
For me, is one of the few items that makes my gameplay really amusing sometimes.

/cheers

Kommentar von Tobyskov

I used to have this item mixed with my Vanish on my rogue.
Was hilarious in BGs. The rogue disappears and Vargoth appears.

Kommentar von 43040

Subtlety Rogues should note that he is target-able for shadowstep. Which can be useful for section jumping. Keep in mind for placement, that he appears to the front right side of you - unless you are close to and facing a wall: which he then appears behind you; while always facing the direction you were facing. As a result of that, you can not use him for wall/door jumping like other positioned enemy mobs.

Kommentar von Furydeath

New one is added in WoD that let's you have this in your toy box. Saddly not this one so you will have to refind it.

Kommentar von MadDragon1977

If you had this quest item before the 6.0 pre-patch, it did not go away. I still have mine in the bank.

Kommentar von Gadoink4

If you talk to the Abbild von Erzmagier Vargoth in your garrison, in addition to the normal patrol dialogue option, you will also see "Is this yours?", if you have either the original Erzmagier Vargoths Stab in your bags or bank, or if you have the Erzmagier Vargoths Ersatzstab toy in your toybox. Clicking it prompts Vargoth to say the following:

Ah! That old thing. I was so young and naive when I made that staff. Look at that hair! And that nose!

And I can't BELIEVE I ever wore something so atrocious as a hat like that.

You should keep this old staff. The image is from a few years ago, and hasn't quite caught on to current events. May you enjoy the nostalgia of my more youthful visage.

Kommentar von digger6

Still in game as of 6.1. I completed the quest chain yesterday to see how it was currently working. I noted the following:

- The staff remained in my bags after the chain was completed.

- If you don't complete the chain, the image of the archmage will have a quest marker above his head when summoned.

- If you abandon a quest during the chain, the staff will disappear from your bags. I was initially worried I had lost it for good, but I was able to get another from Ravandwyr.

- Although the quest text says you receive the staff when completing Der Stab des Erzmagiers, you don't get the physical item in bags until you complete the third quest in the chain, Der Fluch des Violetten Turms.

Kommentar von Lisey

Sadly, this wonderful item shares a cooldown with the toy version: Erzmagier Vargoths Ersatzstab

Kommentar von Malvenue

Should you use Erzmagier Vargoths Stab to summon his level 70 self in the presence of Abbild von Erzmagier Vargoth, the two will interact!

Image of Archmage Vargoth says: Who is that oddly handsome fellow?
Image of Archmage Vargoth says: I say, you do look rather familiar...
Image of Archmage Vargoth says: Have we met before?
Image of Archmage Vargoth says: I don't believe so, I would have remembered such a well-dressed, young and spry mage.
