Critter not included.

Well, not in the crafting materials, anyways...

And now I wish my main was a hunter.

Kommentar von Vothul

Truly, Flintlocke is a genius.

Kommentar von Shadowlyger

This is, bar none, the best ranged weapon attachment EVER. They could just remake this for every single patch after this, forever.

The flavor text got a lol out of me too.

Kommentar von Sedge

this item is the predecessor of the fabled "Gnome Launcher"

Kommentar von badlanguage

but the chuck-shot is a warrior ability?

Kommentar von 357803

Derived from Fargo Flintlocke's signature "Chuck-shot", which consisted of two charges of heavy blasting powder (pushed in with a ramrod), one juvenile woodchuck (angry) (also pushed in with a ramrod), and plenty of dwarven genius.

If it makes it to live, it will become the single greatest enchant in the history of the World..... of Warcraft.

I'm rerolling a hunter. Right *!@#ing now.

Kommentar von Kolenzo

A reference to "Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth", an old but very good wow comic series centered around a misguided dwarf on a quest to get the ultimate goblin-engineered weapon. He also has the nasty habit of using things as ammo that should most definitely not be used as ammo.

Kommentar von 335802

Magic? Demonic chanting? Highly technological gizmo gadgets? Nay, the woodchuck beats them all.

Kommentar von 831391

I was already excited for 4.2, but this is icing on the cake. I'm thinking this will be the hunter's equivalent to the mongoose enchant. I wouldn't be surprised to see hunters with this in future expansions.

Kommentar von MIMP

I'd still like to see a remote backstab attachment. Nothin' like launching a gnome-rogue-on-a-plunger shadow step style behind your opponent...

Do want, this plus Flintlocke's Chuckshooter (I have one) and maybe a beaverstick for a stat stick would be the ultimate hunter amirite?

oh and plungers if you have a rogue handy

Kommentar von blackbone

At least make sure you link to the proper comic pages guys. (And not just the first link you find on wowwiki...)

Awesome reference by Blizzard I'd say.

Now we need Beaver nunchuks for the rogues.... and then use those rogues for the remote backstab.

Or a polearm named ''The Beaverstick''

Kommentar von 321140

Sadly, after last changes, this can NOT be applied to maces.

Kommentar von Mairin

So close yet so far.

Blizzard

D.E.H.T.A. has recently placed a great number of critters under their protection, especially rabbits and squirrels. Because of this, Flintlocke's Woodchucker has been re-fitted to use wild chickens until an "agreement" can be reached.

Kommentar von OgreDaViking

Bad Ass... Definatly gettin this one :)

Kommentar von Huntersectator

this is just going to be amazing if you can see a rabbit eating a bosses face or something like that lool :D

Kommentar von Quilan

I have a reason to level my hunter now.

Kommentar von Naris17

Kind of sad that it's only usable by hunters. I mean, Flinklocke WAS a warrior, and I'm sure there are some dwarf warriors out there that are quite sad that they're not going to be able to get drunk and start shooting chickens... out of their gun.

Hey you woodchucks, quit chuckin' my wood!

Have to smile when you think of the RP angle for raiders with this.

Kommentar von nailPuppy

The critter this launches uses the same model as the highlands clucker.

Kommentar von dihunter

I think, that visual effect of scope is a reference to Hot Shots! Part Deux

(compare with the film poster).

Kommentar von izaul

So just curious to all who are hunters, what would you prefer? This woodchucker or the Gnomish X-ray scope?

Kommentar von catbeef

Looks like a 40 second ICD ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqTE3js2VCk

With a 10% proc chance ~ Flintlocke's Woodchucker (DND)

Kommentar von 264294

Selling for about 400g on my realm, with ~240g in material costs. Not an enormous coin-maker. I'd expect that as the stragglers reach the 125 mark in the next day or two that the price of these things is going to hit the cost-of-mats floor.

Kommentar von 288337

The average critter dmg with 374 item lvl is around 900 and according to my test it CANNOT BE a critical hit. Anyway, it sounds really funny.

Kommentar von Aerolite08

Seeing as this is a class-hunter scope (though aren't they all, in essence?) here's some rough numbers as they apply to the different specs. This assumes standard raid buffs, percentages stack addatively before being applied:

Beast Mastery
300 Agi + Armor Bonus + 5% Primary Stats = 330 Agi
330 Agi x (2) = 660 AP + 10% AP + Beast Specialization = 891 AP
330 Agi = 1.06% Crit

Markmanship
300 Agi + Armor Bonus + 5% Primary Stats = 330 Agi
330 Agi x (2) = 660 AP + 10% AP = 726 AP
330 Agi = 1.06% Crit

Survival
300 Agi + Armor Bonus + 5% Primary Stats + 10% Surv Specialization + 2% Surv Talent = 366 Agi
366 Agi x (2) = 732 AP + 10% AP = 805 AP
366 Agi = 1.13% Crit

This scope awards less overall AP to all specs than the X-Ray Scope (B-1080/M-880/S-880 AP) but the boost in Crit will could make it preferable to Beast and Surv as they value Crit significantly, even if the AP granted is a bit lower. Theorycrafters will probably publish a few books on it later but numbers like these are probably fine for anyone that's not into that.

Kommentar von Hybr1d

MM hunter, for me it adds 728 AP and 1.02% crit

Kommentar von Ragnuk

I've been using this scope for few days now and I thought too that it can not crit.

But I just had a crit with it 1771. I've uploaded a screenshot from Recount log to show it. It should be up soon.

Kommentar von viejo

This is crafted by engineers using one of the two new engineering schematics sold by Damek Bloombeard at the Molten Front. This may be one of the greatest hunter items ever, but unless the engineer crafting it has a JC alt to provide the gems, crafting it at a loss will mean you won't see many of these. So, if you want to see a plentiful supply in the AH after this week's initial release, you hunters better be willing to pony up more than the 190g they are selling for now.

Kommentar von iniko

Hey you dang woodchucks! Quit chuckin' my wood!

Kommentar von blouse

I was performing a variety of (^.^) faces about this when a friend asked a good question:

"As an openly proud night elf huntress and supporter/friend of Mylune, how can you justify your excitement about this obviously cruel weapon upgrade?"

Well, really.

"Now listen, noisy dwarves might have to strap innocent creatures to their projectiles but as EVERYBODY knows, night elves have the wee animals of the woodlands in the Disney category. They're angry and willing, get fired at the target, do some nasty chewy damage and then bound off, happy to have helped. They don't get harmed".

And he just replied: "Treehugger :P"

No, I do not play on an RP server, but an RP question deserves and RP answer. Now leave me to my fluffy little creatures with cute wet noses!

This...this...is real?

I read the entire first page of comments waiting for "Added on 4/1/11 as april fools joke, does not function" to be posted...

But it's real?

O. M. G....... best enchant ever. I dont care WHAT kind of DPS loss this is in the future, this is staying on my weapon forever.

Kommentar von 856474

A breakdown of the mats needed, for whoever needs to get it crafted:

1x Gehärteter Elementiumbarren, made with:
-> 10x Elementiumbarren
-> 4x Flüchtige Erde
4x Elektrifizierter Äther, made with:
-> 4x Flüchtige Luft
5x Eine Handvoll Obsidiumbolzen, made with:
-> 6x Obsidiumbarren
2x Traumsmaragd

Kommentar von Humanenemy

Sadly this scope currently breaks if it happens to proc on the Scatter Shot target.

Kommentar von 883212

L85 SV hunter... proccing for me on about 50% of all attacks.

Kommentar von Amnistic

Awesome. Nothing is better than watching Mother nature get her revenge. Does Mylune approve of this contraption? Probably not.

Kommentar von 920272

amazing Enchant!

Kommentar von 820485

I use to be a pro raider, then I took a chicken to the knee.

Kommentar von 798034

oddly enough the item cost of this enhancement to craft is pretty low. around 100-110g at the most if u can get volatile airs and elementium easily.. dream emeralds are always a joke in price and people buy it for 300-400g+ each quite easily in the AH. this thing is great to resell plus every hunter needs one so if u are an engineer u better grind out the dailys to get this schematic.

please rate this information down if u think giving engineers a great AH tip is a bad idea.

Kommentar von khaltak

Don't forget to loot the critter!

Kommentar von Ruhig

One very important thing to remember: the recipe that makes this is BoP.

That means they can only be built by level 85+ characters with max Engineering whom have both completed all the quests in Hyjal AND spent about a month doing dailies in Geschmolzene Front. Plus, the mats are really damn expensive.

So, don't expect your Engineer character to fly to a vendor for the recipe, or to find the recipe on the Auction House. This scope will be rather unique because not every Engineer is going to dedicate a month just to get the recipe for what amounts to a joke item. Plus, it'll become obsolete once Pandaria content opens, and other scopes provide much higher bonuses.

I, however, did put in the effort. It's the only reason I even bothered with Molten Front on my Hunter. I mean, woodchucker!

EDIT: Now that enchants scale in 5.4, I've found the most hilarious way to level a Hunter to 85:

Zwergische Glattrohrhandkanone enchanted with Flintlockes Holzhacker.

I've verified that the Woodchucker does proc, even on a level one Hunter! And it's back to actually tossing a small mammal now, instead of a bird. Damn thing flies too fast for me to screenshot, but it's funny as can be to watch.

Kommentar von Imramos

If you are planning on twinking a hunter at a low level during/after 5.4, this is essential. With the new "any enchant scales" feature, this enchant on the heirloom bow usually procs for 300 extra damage and gives an insane 112 agility buff.

Kommentar von archvile

It requires a hunter character to use this item. I couldn't manage to put it on Verzauberter antiker Knochenbogen as a mage. And I couldn't apply it on my newly created alt either because of the level 80 requirement. So if I understand correct; unless you have a level 80+ hunter and want to level a new hunter alt for some reason, you can't use this on the heirloom bow.

Kommentar von Koskenkorva

How much flint would Flintlocke lock if Flintlocke could lock flint?

Kommentar von ceasure

Say i'm doing an old raid with a 90 hunter and Goldener Bogen von Quel'Thalas drops. Can he apply this to the bow and trade it to my hunter or will the 2 hour trade window be canceled out? I'm asking because it has been possible to put some enchants that had "Enchanting X item will make it soulbound" in the past on items that were looted, enchanted, and then traded to the desired player. Hope my question isn't confusing lol.

Kommentar von 1047247

looks like whoever had the idea to make this has played postal 2 ...

Kommentar von naturesbull

If the listed scaling is correct, this scope should take the position of best in slot for patch 6.0.2. As Fürst von Schmetternichs Todeszielfernrohr (current BiS) is now only going to give a +112 agility proc and Flintlockes Holzhacker is going to give a +150 agility proc along with a damage dealing proc. What a strange place this new patch is...

Kommentar von biggaz69

Incredibly hard to find atm on EU servers :/

Kommentar von Lichnaught

Since the stat squish this is inferior to Gnomish X-Ray Scope. The proc rate is the same, the proc gives 50 less agility and the on-proc damage from the projectile does close to 10 DPS at most levels (400 damage at level 80, every minute or so).
