Objectives

Bring a Libram of Focus, 1 Pristine Black Diamond, 4 Large Brilliant Shards, and 2 Skin of Shadow to Lorekeeper Lydros in Dire Maul to receive an Arcanum of Focus.

Description

This libram almost aroused interest in one of the younger Lorekeeper's familiars. Poor thing, it was only a few weeks old.

Those among you who are more magically inclined might find this item interesting.

The Libram of Focus was lost in this wing. I can only assume one of the Highborne spirits holds it in their possession.

Bring the Libram along with some large brilliant shards, skin of shadow, and a pristine black diamond and I shall conjure the Arcanum.

Progress

You again? What could you possibly want now?

Completion

Don't hurt yourself when applying the enchantment, human.

you need to do the quest "Elven Legends" before you can get this libram quest. you get the quest from feathermoon, and you have to go to the library and examine the skeleton on the ground near lorekeeper lydros. once you complete this quest you can do this quest, as well as the libram of protection and libram of rapidity quests.

Except that when you look at the date, this was written before those items were available. In addition, they don't come directly from librams, they are gotten by giving arcanum to NPCs at Light's Hope Chapel.

ok so you say that bg is for losers is this because you suck at them or because you are really that ignorant? here are just a couple reasons bg isn't as stupid as you think.

1. until AQ some of the best weapons were pvp rewards and if i remember some of them still are

2. twinking is fun and this is a game

3. not everyone has 4-6 hours a day to run through high end dungeons have you ever heard of non-raiders

4. you need to get a life and stop calling everyone noobs on forums

5. other libram quests are repeatable so I would think this one would be too

P.S. GOOD LUCK GETTING A LIFE LOSERMAN :)

4-6 hours a day (which is a hilariously innacurate hyperbole) in high end dungeons is worse then the 12+ hours a day of constant BG farming it'll take you to hit rank 14 on any decently sized pvp server?

if you are seriously considering using a plain arcanum of focus dont cos there rare drops and also very valuable, if you are at the stage in your guild of doing zul gurub i would reccommend going for that enchant especially the warlock one which rocks it adds +10 stam and +18 to all spells and effects better than +8 to spells imo anyway

If you have fr as a mage you are probably using flarecore, and the flarecore robe and legs have +dmg as well.

A living mage does more dmg than a dead one.

The price on Prisine Black Diamonds is dropping fast since last patch, down to 150g now from 300g and still falling. I still wouldnt pay for a diamond specifically for this chant, but I was lucky enough to have one drop on a baron run.
Same run netted 2 shards, and the other two followed next day. Bought the libram for 20g,
and I'm going for the skin now. Now my dilemma comes from which hat to enchant. I have Crimson Felt Hat with +8 stats and upto +30 dmg, or an Arcane Cover with more stats but no +dmg. Im actually considering trading off a bit of +dmg for the increased stats of arcane cover, yet still having +dmg on it. I cant wait till I get called a noob in org for wearing a green item over a blue.
Then again I may put it on the crimson hat, cos i like red, and I AM a fashion specced lock after all :)

update..
scrap all that, you need the completed libram for the zg chants, so this is getting saved for later.
Its amazing what you can find out with a bit of reading :)

horrible.

you'd prefer the minorless of a +8 over entire +150 mana? L O L

this libram is huge waste, +mana would be the much better choice. healers, they want you to have MORE mana, always more mana, they aren't going to care if you have another +16 on your heals, anyone would tell you to take the +mana instead. would also save 300g, black diamond is 10g on my server, pristine black diamond is 300g, very big jump there, not worth it.

if they switched priestine black diamond with normal one like the others, or buffed this up to about +20 or +30 instead of a +8, then it might be worth the costs.

Actually... it depends upon how large your mana pool is before the enchant.

At this point, an additional 150 mana on my base is negligible. Once I start casting in a boss battle, I'm not going to cap out again and that 150 mana doesn't even give me a single extra spell cast.

But plus healing effects every healing spell I cast. Given that I can go through over 15k mana (assuming an innervate.. and note that I fully recognize that there are folks with better gear who have a larger overall mana pool for battles) during a long boss battle, that is a lot more extra healing with even +8 to healing spells than 150 mana would give.
+8 dam/heal is better than others....

disagree.

At some point +150 mana has diminishing returns and +8 heal/dam becomes attractive. I'm nearly at that point with my gear, with 8 epics:
1 prophecy glove, 2 seal of archmagus, 3 fire runed grimoire, 4 choker of enlightenment, 5 crimson shocker, 6 truefaith robes, 7 & 8 Darkmoon Cards from beast and portals decks.

Other gear is blue, and mana is always an issue, but +150 or +300 mana isn't going to make or break me when I have upwards of 7k or more mana in MC, and will have even more when I get more gear. Always it's a trade off, but I find that how FAST I heal can be as much of a factor as how long I can heal.. Consider that stacking a bunch of +heal or + dam/heal means my renew and or sw:p are going to tick for more, and spamming flash heal will do more.. etc.

I'll use the Starfire Tiara and slap a +20 FR on it for Ragnaros. And when I get Trans Halo or Proph Hat I'll use that on pretty much everything else.

Basically it's always a trade off, but I'm at the point when +dam/heal is more attractive than a little bit of incremental more mana. I know when I get more gear, I'll be even more solidly in this camp cos I'll have even more spir and int.

those new librams addet with dire maul seem to me like a joke if you compare them with the old ones.
u can easily get +200hp or 200mana, perhaps +16 of a stat with those old librams, you could solo farm those ingrediens needed and its 10 times better than this new ones. 2% dodge or attack speed cant ever make up 16 str/agi or 200 hitpoints
