World of Warcraft (WoW) Drums of Forgotten Kings

Posted by The Team on January 18, 2012

Drums of Forgotten Kings gives all members of the raid, party or battleground group the blessing of forgotten kings increasing strength, agility, stamina and intellect by 4% and all magic resistances by 52 for 30 minutes. An excellent buff I use with all my toons level 70 and up.

Farming the materials for this does not take long. I farm in Dragonblight for borean leather. As well there are many green armour drops and other slush stuff that can be sold to vendors. You need to be a leatherworker to make these and a skinner to gather the materials.

These drums are in demand by the guild I belong to and I try to farm as often as needed to get the materials. Of course, other guildies deposit items into the guild vault and make this easier for me to meet the demand.

The CdnMarketSquare team mainly play Alliance on Skywall but there are toons on other servers.

Enjoy WoWing.
