I think th instance entrance is just a little too far to target him, but you can just have a rogue or druid stealth up to the door to UBRS and type /target Jed and he'll show up. Druids can also use humanoid tracking just in case.

If you walk up the ramp to the opening, you can use /target Jed to target him.

BUT, remember he patrols, so there's only a very small time he is in range. To be sure, after entering the instance, walk all the way up the ramp and spam /target Jed for about 2 minutes. If he's there you can target him.

Then just get a group of guildies to help you and voila, one dead Jed!

My guildie saw this drop from Drakkisath yesterday. We've never seen Jed in the last month. Can someone confirm this dropping from Drakki?

does anyone know of an effective method of farming jed? as in, targeting him from somewhere relatively close to the entrance? I really don't want to have to run full ubrs/rend runs just for the small chance at a rare spawn since I've run it too much and that's the only thing i need from there..

edit: nvm that, it is possible to target jed from the ubrs entrance

Second Best Damage Trinket In the Game

For constant non-stop battle, this trinket is only topped by Neltharion's Tear, which drops off of Nefarion in BWL.
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=51923

If we compare it to the ToEP for total, over-all damage output, this trinket is actually quite a bit better.

The ToEP
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=39255

bumps damage by 175 for 15 seconds and has a 2 minute cooldown.

60 (seconds) * 2 = 120 (seconds) / 15 (cooldown) = 8 / 175 (damage) = approx 22
Take the total damage output and divide it out over the entire span of two minutes and it averages out to about 22 damage.

This is also only if you ALWAYS use it EVERY tme it comes up in combat.

Even the Warlock's Royal Seal is a little better.

This is, of course, not the case when burst damage is needed, such as in PvP or certain boss fights.

Like the other people said it's 90 seconds, but keep in mind that unless you use pom or get 8/8 nw proc, you won't get 6 spells off, only 5. 50ms lag is enough for the last spell not to get the bonus. I banked this trinket for months, but just now realizing how good it is again.

As VLantern said, the cooldown on ToEP is 90 secs, not 120.
This gives it a sustained equivalent damage of 29.17 making it equal with the Briarwood in terms of damage output.

It is quite easy to make a macro to cast ToEP before a spell cast, but patch 1.10 will probably kill the existing macros or turn them into 2 press macros rather than single press.

However, the burst damage from ToEP can make the difference between drawing aggro and not.

Briarwood reed is the better bet for sustained boss fights.
ToEP is the better bet for Solo and PvP

Actually, the ToEP has a 1.5 min cooldown.
If you turn on the cooldown timers in CTMod, it counts down from 1:30, not 2:00.

Damn it! Whenever Jed is around and we kill him, he only dropped this item. I'm not saying it's bad, but I'd like something else to drop.

Took about a week and 4 trys but I got mine. I was very happy since I've been doing UBRS runs for months hoping it would drop. Only saw it once in all that time. Using my hunter to find out if Jed was there and with the help of my guild I picked one up in a few days. Wish I had done that sooner.

How to check with a hunter.

Ok I figured out how to check for him with my hunter. I have a cat that can go stealth. I used eye of the beast to walk him to the locked door just inside the instance, the one leading to UBRS. From there I just did a /target jed and it showed he was there. I got a friend to join my party, logged onto my mage, got up a raid group and killed Jed. Unfortunately on this 1st attempt he only dropped a wand. I'm going to keep this up until I get the reed.

Got this on my very 1st ubrs run, there was a rogue checking for the spawn and reseted until he spawned, won the roll, it's a shame that priests and other healers are allowed to roll on this too, only lock/mage trinket imo, especcialy when you know how rare this drop is

only lock/mage? what about shadowpriests and moonkins? they should be allowed to roll too and since there is no trinket outside raid instances that gives more to heal (except royal seal of eldre'thalas) this is good for healers too.

when you get into the instance, go to the door to the upstairs then,
just type /target Jed

if Jed spawned, it appears on your target.

How does this work exactly. What door is this (I'm new to LBRS/UBRS). IS this the first door to your left just as you go inside LBRS? Any more specifics would be great.

This beauty drops from Jed Runewatcher in UBRS. To bad he's a rare boss. Briarwood Reed + Eye of the Beast is the best trinkets for Mages if you're not going to MC.

I got it yesterday. Just needed to do 3 UBRS Runs. :)

Well I figured out how to see if he spawns before the raid starts. Had my priest mind vision to the lbrs area(mobs where u can do the shortcut jump) below the quest give Awbee in ubrs. You'll be able to look up and Mind Vision one of the mobs standing where Awbee is and continue on and check if Jed spawned. Well after resetting the instance about 7-8 times he finally spawned. I invited a friend and created raid. Logged out in instance and began LFM in IF with an alt. Sadly the instance resetted when I logged off. I now recall something about instances will reset after 30mins if no one is in it. Formed a whole raid for him and instance resetted =(.

I think that together with Eye of the Beast these two trinkets will be the absolute best a mage can get in the trinket slot. Damage-wise of course.
