Also NOT bind on pickup. Binds when used.

Pretty cool one.

Comment by Hoochie

When you kill the Lich King with a player wearing Shadowmourne in the raid, you will get an additional item - Unsealed Chest. After bringing the chest to Darion he will open it up and let you bring the items back to their respective owners to get your rewards :

Reins of the Crimson Deathcharger - A brand new mount that looks like the Death Knight's class mount.
Muradin's Favor - A 10-minute Frost Dwarf transformation.
Jaina's Locket - A portal to Dalaran on a 1-hour cooldown, you finally have your own pocket mage!
Tabard of the Lightbringer - A tabard with a very shiny on-use effect.
Sylvanas' Music Box - A music box that plays Lament of the Highborne.

Basically, a way for frostmourne holder to make a craploads of money due to the items being really rare :)

Comment by freemuffins

I've submitted a screenshot of a GM reply in-game of the following:

"The Sealed Chest item only drops as long as the person on the Shadowmourne quest line has 'The Lich King's Last Stand' in their quest log. Once they complete the quest, the Sealed Chest will no longer drop."

It's ONCE per Shadowmourne, NOT weekly. This will be a fairly rare item.

Comment by pallylock

Guess it's a way to pay back guilds, for financing a Shadowmourne, what with the 25 primordial saronites and all.

Comment by Tyelperion

Alternately, if you dont want to pay exorbitant amounts of gold, you can make a macro with" /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\\\Music\\\\GlueScreenMusic\\\\BCCredits_Lament_of_the_Highborne.mp3") " and the song will play anytime, without the ghosts appearing of course.

Comment by Commanjoe

Does anyone know, can other players hear the music or only the one who has the box?

Comment by anarkiqt

I got this item today.

Everyone arround you can hear it, BUT you will only hear it if u got Music sound enabled in soundoptions.

Comment by Benegesserit

I have it but you *might* be surprised how few people have their music on, especially end-game players who are used to minimizing WoW sound for vent. Sound effect based items (like the Lil' XT pet) are usually heard but most people I've used this in front of whom don't already know about this questline just think I'm releasing ghosts.

Now we need a Wind-up Music Box Wrecker

Comment by joshiki

i want this so bad. i do the wrathgate chain with every toon i make just to hear that again. i end up shutting off every sound but music in the game when it starts. such a haunting tune. o well, i guess the link above by hoochie for lament of the highborne will have to do for now

Comment by Lomanoft

Is there a way to get the people around you to hear /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\\\Music\\\\GlueScreenMusic\\\\BCCredits_Lament_of_the_Highborne.mp3") without actually having the music box? That would be nice.
My wife set it up to play the song when she /sing but no one can hear it but her.

Comment by kaushik

Hey,
Do the banshees follow you around when you play this music box? Like when you summon the banshees, can you ride around and they go with you? Or do they remain stationary?
Please reply.
It would be cool to ride around with 2 singing banshees.

Comment by izamani

You can disable all the sounds except Death Knight sounds and use the macro to hear the music.

Comment by ectl3k

So I'm guessing, alliance can't get this. (unless they add a phase in when you obtain this item)

Comment by Lomanoft

I love how when you ask a simple question people down rate it for no reason... Are we not to ask questions? Then what is wowhead for?

Comment by Sherkrieg

Hey Loman,
Your question did seem fairly amusing to me I must admit :D
Although you are very much correct to state that it is a reasonable question and it IS what wowhead is for.

If my wife plays the '/script Lament of the Highborne' is there any way other people hear it when she /sings

Unfortunately the answer is a very firm no, /script commands are used to change the precoded script of (most usually your sound) ingame meta-codes. Basically meaning, unless their is a /command to alter the script of everyone else's music within say 'a 30 yard radius', it is impossible to play a sound file to other people in game through script commands.

However, I for one would perhaps like to see some sort of command that could say, script change the metacodes of your party, so that only they could hear the song (: - so not a bad idea!

Comment by justinskitty

I bought this yesterday on Tortheldrin. I spent 20k and I LOVE IT! I didn't even know there was such a thing until someone put it in trade to sell it. I HAD TO HAVE IT! I play it every time the hour cd is up. It's my favorite song on the WOTLK CD. I did the quest line in UC while I was lvling and fell in love. Now I'm so happy to always have it with me!

Comment by TPWT

Got this on Mal'Ganis H for 16k and then transfered it to Draenor H. Since there were none selling on my server and had only seen it once from an alliance in dal. I love it. :D

Comment by Marivel

This item is a bit buggy. It is not uncommon for you to use it and never, despite having sound effects and music turned on, hear the Lament.

The other day in ICC, I used mine and didn't hear the music play. Another raid member used theirs about 20 seconds later, and I heard it just fine. Not sure what causes this.

Comment by yob1

If you really wanna listen to sylvanis' song just type /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\\\Music\\\\GlueScreenMusic\\\\BCCredits_Lament_of_the_Highborne.mp3") just the ghosts wont appear :(

Comment by Leishai

Typing /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\\\Music\\\\GlueScreenMusic\\\\BCCredits_Lament_of_the_Highborne.mp3") into the game chat box, or as part of a simple macro, will cause the song to play for players who don't have Sylvanas' Music Box.

Comment by otraeu

if your guild used to raidroll the items and you won one ( i won Muradin's Favor ) you will not be able to get this item after getting your own Shadowmourne
The following items are unique

Reins of the Crimson Deathcharger is also unique but is teached on use

Comment by Faell

If you already own any of the items that you purchased or were given to you, but you yourself are now fixing to complete the Shadowmourne quest, you have a problem. Four of the items and unique and therefore the quests to receive the items cannot be completed while you already own them.

Putting the items into your bank won't work, none of the items are vendorable for buyback later, and putting the tabard into void storage won't work because it's unique (I've not tested the tabard vendor yet).

Don't worry, there is another way! Thanks to Blizzard's newly released item restoration service, you can delete an item, finish the quest to receive the new item, mail it to an alt, and then use the restoration service to have your original returned to you via mail immediately. There is one catch, the item restoration service may only be used once every thirty days, so you cannot do it for all four items at once. Confirm the you have an item restoration available to you before you delete one of these very valuable items!

Comment by NotLuto

I'm selling one of these on Burning Blade-US, Horde side. Send a whisper or mail to Orkydorkydoo.

Comment by Missrihanna

trying to get this music box for ages anyone has one for sale on argent dawn eu horde side pls feel free to whisper me if you got one for a decent price...... or send an ingame mail to missrihanna

Comment by ender111

If there is any other more epic piece of wow lore that you can carry around with you, I have no idea what it is. I love this music box. My only wish would that it was BoA, then I could carry it around with me as I switch mains from year to year. Love this item.

Comment by Pipkins

The lyrics of the song are found in Lament of the Highborne, given to you after completing quests in the Ghostlands.

Thalassian:
"Anar'alah, anar'alah belore,
Sin'dorei,
Shindu fallah na.
Sin'dorei,
Anar'alah,
Shindu sin'dorei,
Shindu fallah na.
Sin'dorei,
Anar'alah belore.
Shindu sin'dorei,
Shindu fallah na.
Sin'dorei,
Anar'alah belore,
Belore."

English:
"By the light, by the light of the sun,
Children of the blood,
Our enemies are breaking through.
Children of the blood,
By the light,
Failing children of the blood,
They are breaking through.
O children of the blood,
By the light of the sun.
Failing children of the blood,
They are breaking through.
O children of the blood,
By the light of the sun,
The sun."

Comment by navlelo86

anyone copied this to the beta and tested if you have to be level 80 to learn it as a toy?

Comment by gimolos

Just got this for 10k. A lot of people got this learned automatically WITHOUT using the item who had completed the quest, so the price has come down. A muradan's was up for 10k as well but I couldn't afford both.
Edit: Jealous down voters much?
Edit 2: New hotfix prevents this from being learned automatically just by completing the quest. Expect the price to go back to normal eventually.

Comment by azmoden

As for 6.0.2 A bug occurred (That was fixed in the latest Hotfix) where players automatically learned Sylvanas's Music Box and / or Muradin's Favor. (note that NOT all players learned those, only some lucky few.)

After the Hotfix players who learned those items via that bug, did indeed keep the item(s).

Comment by HavenCeles

How come this item is not listed in Wowheads sound database? I would love to add this to my playlist.

Comment by scharky

Did anyone else notice...after you turn in the quest, her spoken text says "terrible", by Sylvanas herself says "horrible"?

Eh well, maybe she just likes being different :)

Comment by Muthabacon

This appears to have been nerfed, the song used to last a lot longer..seems to be about 30 seconds for me at the moment. May just be a little buggy with the new content, but tested it 3 times and same result.
