4x the speed for Blacksmiths?

I suppose thats fair i guess, they do a lotta work

Comment by heartlessnobody

Interact while mounted? Mounted combat killing enemies and mining while mounted? If so yes please

Comment by Kakapenka

You can gather, interact with objects (quest or otherwise), use the Stormheim grappling hook and last but not least loot corpses.

You can cast it while mounted. Lost on death. Lasts for 2 hours for regular users and 8 hours for blacksmiths.

YOU CAN NOT FIGHT MOUNTED WITH THIS.

You can't use quest items in your inventory with this. Well you can but you get dismounted...

This will probably not work when flying is in. At least I hope it does not, especially for gathering.

Comment by sushibar

Replacement for the level 1 stables buff, which is the best thing ever, since it allows gathering on a flying mount, and also mining while flying within mining range of the node.
This, along with Elderhorn Riding Harness will be must haves when gathering in Legion.

The bardings I can make on my LW, and I hope the stirrups will be affordable, or I'll have to make a blacksmith just to supply my gatherer with them.

Comment by dlbert2000

I've made 3 of these so far and they keep getting removed - none have lasted more than 1 hour (have not died)

Comment by Noboru

These must've gotten hotfixed without being mentioned in the notes, because they DO NOT get removed on death, as I just died twice during a World Quest (once I ran back to my corpse, the other time I was rezzed by a group member) and they were still active. The same goes for the Leystone Hoofplates.

EDIT: As of 10/7/16 these have been hotfixed despite not appearing in the notes. I am currently standing in Dalaran with both these and the Hoofplates still active.

Comment by HarkenRebirth

Its a pitty you lose the effect on death.. Hopefully they change it into persisting thru death.

Comment by Angelar

These things are pretty useless. I know there is a book buff from my class hall that drops when you go from Dalaran to the Broken Isles because you pass a Great Sea threshhold which doesn't count as part of the Broken Isles.

What I didn't know is that it also drops off on ANY flight path even within the Broken Isles.

So for 8 Demonsteel Bars it is a terrible investment.

Greetings,

Game Master responding, I hope you are having a good day so far. Thank you so much for reaching out with your issue today. I am always eager to help out whenever possible.

I see you're hoping to have your Demonsteel Stirrups that are used, then the effect removed when taking a flight path, restored to you today, or to have your Demonsteel refunded to you.

The effect is currently intended to drop off if you take a flight path, enter a dungeon, or go to Dalaran (basically, if you leave the Broken Isles or take a flight path within), and we would not be able to restore the items at this time. Additionally, as much as I really would like to be able, we're not able to refund the Demonsteel that was used in crafting them.

I understand the frustration this brings, and do wish I could have done more to assist with it today. If you have any other issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us as soon as you like. I hope you can have a good day.

Does not work with archaeology. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Comment by Sophos

These now persist through death.

Comment by Ryojinetic

Can you fish while mounted using these?

Comment by 1442051

This item is damn near worthless. I got sort of stuck in the mountains in Stormheim searching for a chest. Literally the only way out of the jam was to hearth out. I then noticed that the demonsteel stirrups that I JUST APPLIED not five minutes before were now missing.

That is why I came here looking for info. This buff needs to be fixed. It's an expensive item to make. The tooltip says it lasts eight hours for blacksmiths. Well, WHO IS GOING TO PLAY THIS GAME EIGHT HOURS STRAIGHT AND NOT DO AN INSTANCE, NOT GO TO DALARAN, etc in those eight hours? Come on blizz. This is stupid.

Comment by sushibar

Just noticed the buff disappearing myself when I returned to Dalaran. Even though I can make them with an alt, it's still completely unacceptable. I plan to keep a careful watch and submit a bug report every time it ends early.

Tested when I had 15 minutes left:

1. Flight Master's Whistle: OK.
2. Any flight path within Broken Isles (but not Dalaran): OK.
3. Ride into Dreamgrove, (Druid Order Hall): OK
4. Teleport to Dreamgrove from anywhere: OK
5. Dreamgrove portal to Dalaran: OK
6. Hearth to Dalaran: OK.
7. Dalaran FP to Meredil: GONE (Shortly after crossing into The Great Sea area.)

So, if you're a druid, you can get to Dalaran without losing it by going through your class hall in either direction. When gathering, I just log off in the class hall after mailing the herbs and ore to another alt, then resume gathering via the Dreamgrove flight path when I return.

Comment by Aisenfaire

Just changed in patch 7.1:

The following items now disable their effects rather than cancel the entire buff when leaving the Broken Isles:

Comment by Pupsader

These work with underwater mounts like the Brinedeep Bottom-Feeder. Useful for underwater mining, if you can stay away from hostile mobs or players.

Comment by RoboCops13

Do you know if the Demonsteel Stirrups quadruple if you only have BS in level 1?

Comment by Lucidic

Even with the improvements to make the buff never fall off so you always get the full duration these just aren't worth it. They seem to allow you to interact with some quest objects but not all. They also do NOT allow you to stay mounted while mining.

Comment by saillaw

Anyone else notice that while they have fixed the death bug, these seem to have another bug, if you have an unused set in your bags those will disapear from your bags when the duration of an active one expires? Same with Leystone Hoofplates. So for now I suggest not keeping any in your bags while you already have the buff active.

Comment by Erzfury

The BUFF from this item gets REMOVED if you enter an instance or do a BG.. meaning rip 2000gold.. amazing development work... sigh

Comment by DsanOB

Do these work with a druid's flight form? I'm assuming they won't (because that would make the flight form even more OP for gathering)...

Comment by AmiYuy

WARNING: Entering an Arena match with the buff on will remove it. It will not come back after you leave.

Comment by lifeisrisky

Does the buff timer count down when offline ? I notice that where earlier I had 8 hours now after logging back in I only have 4.

Comment by optrenium

This may have been hot-fixed for some issues of it coming off (hearthing, changing zones, etc); however, queueing and entering a BG will still remove it... patch 7.2.5.

As a developer, I don't understand why this is an issue.

if stirrupsExist {
  if currentZone == battleGround {
    stirrupsActive = false
  } else {
    stirrupsActive = true
  }
}

Just used a damned flag to check zone and deactivate it... don't remove it entirely. Regardless of language used, it shouldn't take more than a few lines to check for this and make the appropriate changes.

EDIT: On a side note, these ARE worth it (IMHO). It allows you to hover over an object, use it, and stay out of combat (as long as you're not on the ground)... even if a mob is right beside you.

Comment by Chindor

If you notice that you can't hover and mine but are forced to land, check your interface.
Interface-->Control --> make sure " Auto Dismount in Flight" is checked.
My husband and I were dumbfounded as to why I could mine from the air and he couldn't. This was the solution.

(Thanks to Halfpinthero on the wow forum)

Comment by Wren

You can't search for digsites with this (but you can click on the found artifact, for what its worth).

Comment by damnnnittt

Buff doesn't keep me mounted when mining Empyrium on Argus.

Comment by Marsolas

This DOES NOT work in Argus. It specifically is "Broken Isles" only

Comment by Esric

The BFA equivalent is Monel-Hardened Stirrups; which work on Kul Tiras and Zandalar, but not the warfront zones.

Comment by jdmaddison

As of Patch 8.2, Demonsteel Stirrups are broken for Mining in the Broken Isles. Herbalism still works though, so this is not an interface issue.

Comment by cornix73

These were working properly in Nazjatar, but now they seem not working.
