My Presious.... the tricksey Gnomes... they tooks it from us!

Comment by Cocomatona

If this belongs to this Precious, I'm not so sure I'd want to wear it...

Comment by 394410

Precious is Festergut and Rotface's pet, uh, dog.

Comment by 11324

In the Plagueworks there are two mini-bosses patrolling down the hallway before Festergut and Rotface. One is named Precious and is wearing a big pink ribbon. They share abilities similar to Gluth (Zombies spawn and they do a decimate) although on the PTR they sometimes were broken.

Comment by tmptfate

A real man isnt afraid to wear a pink shirt... and apparently Blizz agree's

Comment by 88759

Who doesn't want their shirt to give them a buff?

Everybody knows that Pink shirts are the best tanking shirts... however a Pink and embroidered shirt that also buffs the wearer is complete overkill. Everybody that sees you will also note your awesome Ribbon you ripped from a raid boss's pet and now wear as your own garment, because you'll be walking around sporting the "Best in Show" tag. You'll split the crotch of your pants because that e-peen can't help but swell with pride.

Undoubtedly this is THE must-have shirt that all raiders will want, well into ~~Cataclysm~~ Mists of Pandaria.

Comment by Remmiz

I believe this is the only way in game to get a buff with blue text.

Comment by Kilsek

I just got this item. It is indeed a shirt and pink. When you wear it you gain a new icon in your buff bar: Precious's Ribbon "Best in Show". It has no other effect or buff that I've seen. Just a fun item that can drop.

Unless Fun Fact: Oddly the buff does not appear when your toon is dead.

Comment by Lorade

Rare drop from Precious in ICC. Gives a buff called "Best in Show" that doesn't do anything.
Just a uncommon quality pink shirt. Pretty nice that Blizzard is putting in vanity items like this :)

Comment by 29188

got this tonight off the "trash mob" precious(http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=37217) in 25 man ICC's plaugeworks wing.

The boss has a small chance to drop 1 shirt for one person in the raid, it can be master looted. If the rarity is set to "Rare(blue quality or above)" The shirt can be looted by who ever's turn it is to loot that mob, there will be a warning that it will bind to you when its picked up. It is worth it to note that once the shirt is looted it CANNOT BE TRADED through the in game BoP trading system. Once its looted, its stuck with you unless a GM sends it to someone else or something.

If your guild is super concerned about making sure this goes to the right person you should set loot to "uncommon" quality at least just for this part of trash.

When worn gives the buff: http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=70404 which does nothing at the moment

It doesnt dissapear on zoning out or logging.

according to the WoW armory it has a droprate listed as "Very Low" with 5-15%

It can drop in 10 and 25 man, most likely in heroic too.

It has no bearing on getting any debuff from either boss.

It is simply a vanity item

Its a sleeveless version of the pink mageweave shirt looks wise.

Hope this clears up any questions about it =D

Comment by peeka

NOT 100% drop

Comment by Herecius

Precious belongs to Rotface, and Stinky belongs to Festergut.

I'm sure they would not be very pleased with you mixing it up!

"Precious? NOOOOooooooooo!"

Comment by 336714

Actually, this is in reference to the dog in Silence of the Lambs. Not the ring in LotR.

Age will likely play a factor in whether you "get" the reference or not...

Comment by Kalkran

This item drops off the "trash" mob Precious on both 10 and 25-man raid sizes.
These trash mobs are linked to their respective bosses (Stinky to Festergut and Precious to Rotface), so they will not respawn if you kill their big abominations (parents?).
This shirt will give you a buff Precious's Ribbon which does NOTHING and makes this item a vanity item such as Haunted Memento which is cool to have but useless ;).

Comment by 113855

Best In Slot for tanks!

Pink generates the highest threat.

Comment by 524066

@Phoof;

This is also the only Uncommon (green) quality shirt in the game, and one of only two obtainable shirts that are better than 'common' quality. The other is the Epic Purple Shirt from the TCG loot cards.

Tabard of the Explorer is Epic.
Tabard of Summer Flames is Rare.
Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade is Uncommon.

Comment by KyorraWindblade

It puts the lotion on the skin...

Sorry. I had to.

Comment by 362863

There is nothing drop-dead sexier than a buff man in a pink shirt. *swoons*

Comment by Wenduri

Precious DOES belong to Rotface, and Stinky DOES belong to Festergut.

This is important to note because killing Rotface causes Precious to no longer respawn with trash, and likewise of Stinky to Festergut.

Comment by Grays

Makes wearer immune to all status ailments.

Comment by Nazgren

Man, I home someone other than Grays and I understands this. Lol.

Edit: Grammar police prevention.

Comment by Fatnub

Used to work like a white/grey item, so that only 1 person could loot it.

Now its like a greenie, depending on your ML setting the group can roll for it.

Comment by 326610

Precious may have won Best in Show, but Princess won First Prize.

Comment by kimzky

A human female with this and the Spring Circlet from Noblegarden would sure as hell make a sexy human.

Comment by Cruciatum

All this love and still a typo :) It should be Precious' Ribbon.

Comment by 495310

"Best in Show" - BiS Item ;)

Comment by 363468

Is it just me or does this Precious and the one from the recent movie Precious look like they were seperated at birth? I mean the weight, smell, and ALL. Identical twins I tell you.

Comment by lazerviking

I love this sexy male blood elf on the 6th screenshot!

|cFF00AA99"Best in Show"|r

blizzard uses color codes to color text, just like in warcraft 3

Comment by 37339

Actually I am pretty sure this is a reference to the movie "Best In Show" With Eugene Levy. At least the "Best in Show" part is, but Precious is probably from Silence of the Lambs.

Comment by Gremlock

It's not pink, it's light red.

RvB FTW let the downgrades begin lol

Comment by Denamic

It makes me the prettiest mancow in town.
All the other guys look at me with envy.
Every time I stand and flex on mailboxes in Dalaran, I can almost feel their awe.

Comment by Woundheir

How is this thing a 33% drop.. is Wowhead just glitched? I have only ever seen this thing drop once...

Comment by 149665

Well, was Valanos an individual, or were the Valanos a group? If the latter, Valanos' is definitely correct. If the former, it could go either way (as several others have noted above). Even in that case, this wouldn't be the first time Blizzard was grammatically inconsistent (or even wrong, though they wouldn't be in this case).

Comment by Myebika

real men look good in pink.

Comment by Bladesbyte

It's honestly worth the effort to look for this item. Be the first in your guild to wear the manly pink and stand proud over them, as they stare at you with scorn at your shiney new shirt and passive buff.

Comment by gfxlight55

This item dropped tonight in our ICC 10 run. However the loot was set to Rare.

I let everyone roll on it but was unable to give it to the winner. I was the only one able to pick it and it is BoP. And even though ML was enabled, all other green items could be picked up by anyone who got it in their drops.

No Trade timer either.

So just hold out. If it happens to drop for you like any other mob in ICC it will just take time.

Hope this helps =)

Comment by Hordrim

Im amazed this item even has a vendor price on it. Who, in their perfect state of mind, would ever sell this?

Comment by 636890

Is this dropping to everyone in Raid?

Comment by link07

only shirt worth having....
EDIT: its just gives the cool buff, no reson otherwise but its still cool then the others cus of it lol!

Comment by 350084

I am still bitter about not getting this shirt, our guild ran ICC every week since it opened up until close to cata and we saw only 2 of these shirts, damn you RNG!
maybe at lvl 90 I can solo the first three bosses and farm it >.<

Comment by 498983

Anyone else think the screenshot of the male Night Elf wearing this on a park bench looks like Sad Keanu..?

Comment by 456163

Edit: For some reason, even though I'm replying to a comment above about the drop rate, it's not attaching up there. :(

Acually, it's because the majority of the time, Precious drops only gold. The Wowhead add-on does not count this is the mob having been looted, for some reason. You'll notice a similar phenomenon with the pet Mr. Grubbs.

Comment by incko

say has anybody tryed to farm this thing on lvl 85?

I would like to try it as blood dk
but somehow I doubt that any class can solo this mob with it's ms effect

edit.

So I actually managed to farm this shirt.

I solo killed precious 13 times the last 2 days and then it finally droped.

Some nots from my experience:

I cleared all wings of icc (10) with some guildies, except for the plaguewing (and of course lich king)

the 3 trash grps at the entry of the plaguewing are quite though,
especially the grp with the plague scientists.
(luckily they don't respawn in case you die after killing one or 2 mobs of that pack)

precious herself is quite easy if you know that decimate will always put your HP to 15% max hp,
whether you are above or BELOW 15% hp.

So you simply have to make sure to stay alive between the decimate casts.

don't forgot that you have an 100% MS debuff up most of the time,
so selfheal isn't working (except you manage to dropp the debuff which is possible with a little timing)

as for the zombies which precious spawns.
they are quite slow, so don't bother killing them, I just kited them all of the time.

The Main Hall of Icc works quite well for that matter,
just make your rounds with precious and many zombies following you,
eventually you will kill her.

killing the trash and precious took my about 20 minutes each time.

oh an another important note,

the whole trash respawns after you stayed out of the instance for 30 minutes!

so I wish you good luck and happy farming

Comment by vanquished14

After reading "incko's" comment, I decided I'd try farming for the shirt as well...

I initially tried to form a group as a "Ribbon Run" but got laughed at in trade so decided I'd have to either try soloing or bribing friends to come. I was able to successfully solo both Marrowgar-10 and Lady Deathwhisper-10 as a Marksman Hunter but--when it came to the Gunship--I found just entering the cannon without someone else on the boat caused your boat to instantly die. I'm not sure if there's a way around this but I gave in and 5-manned Gunship and Deathbringer Saurfang to get to the Plague Wing.

As for the Plague Wing itself... That second trash pull is horrible. Those Plague Scientists constantly keep you CC'ed with Combobulating Spray and the Pustulating Horrors hit for 24k to 46k ticks with Bubbling Pus. On a positive note, the Plague Scientists can be CC'ed. I suppose if one were to solo this trash mob, you'd be best off CC'ing one of the scientists and zerging down one of the horrors before dying and finishing off the other. What I ended up doing is grouping with a retribution paladin so we could CC both scientists and hopefully kill both Horrors before they killed us. Other than that pull--the rest of the trash is quite easy.

As for Precious herself... We kited her to the friendly NPCs in front of the Frost Wing and allowed Crok Scourgebane to tank Precious while my turtle pet tanked the zombies that spawned. Honestly she is not too difficult with help from the friendly NPCs.

As incko suggested, the trash and Precious both respawn via a soft reset as long as you have not yet cleared the Plague Wing. It appeared incko waited 30 minutes for the trash to respawn but all you have to do is have everyone leave the raid and select "reset all instances" to make the trash reset. And to those worrying about having to get the shirt before the weekly reset, you can just extend the raid lockout (indefinitely?) until you can get it to drop.

EDIT: First shirt dropped on kill 16. Second shirt dropped on kill 53. This means multiple shirts CAN come from one week's Precious. Extending the lockout worked fine. Good luck farming!

Comment by triggz

Easily solo farmable as a feral druid in 353/JP gear. I joined a 25-H ICC achievement run and dipped after we killed Festergut then took my own save solo to 10man and stealthed up to Precious and the Decaying Collosus. Just skip past the aboms, scientists and fleshreaper pack doing laps, as you won't be able to kill the horrors due to their Bubbling Pus scaling with HP (even if you take a healer they'll slime them and you just get CC'd to death anyway). Other tank classes can probably get by all the crap on the stairwell using an invis potion, or maybe the engineer invis cloak.

Kill the few scientists and fleshreapers on Festerguts side, check for a trap, then just FFF pull Precious and she'll run past the collosus without aggroing it. Drag her into Festerguts room and just backpedal circles and wear her down. She should rarely do any damage through Savage Defense procs, and Decimate will bring you back up to 15% if she does get you low. Don't try to kill the zombies. By the time you kill her there will probably be a hundred or so of them packed into an extremely dangerous little lump, either carefully kitty swipe them down (swipe range is slightly large than their melee) or just die to them and reset the instance for another go. Takes about 5 minutes to kill Precious, and easily another 5 to try and get rid of the zombies. Around 15-20minutes total each reset.

Comment by Ickius

For everyone out there looking to farm Precious for this ribbon I have a few tips of my own after farming her the last couple days.

Getting the lockout is really easy with the new Transmogrification thing coming out. You're fine with a lockout just after Saurfang but its worth it to stick around to see who they try to kill in plague first. Rotface HAS to be up to be able to farm Precious with a lockout. If you can get ahead of the pug group alittle bit and just start running towards Fester most people will just follow you since no one really cares which dies first. After Fester's down just leave with your lockout and you should be good to go.

As a Rogue I was unable to solo her, although I only tried a few times till one of my Dk friends offered to help. As a stealther all of the trash near the stairs is avoidable. If you're a non stealther DO NOT BOTHER WITH TRASH. Just grab some Lesser Invisibility Potion off the AH. Use the pot right as you get to the trash and you should be able to make it to the top of the stairs with no problems. Odds are it will run out right before the hallway so theres a chance you'll pull the patting group of Vengeful Fleshreaper's. The DK solo'd these easily while I cleared the Plague Scientists in Fester's hall. I would advise to pull the 2 patting Vengeful Fleshreaper's down to just so you don't have to deal with them during Precious. Also, you should kill the first Plagued Scientist in the hall towards Rotface to avoid it pulling along with Precious.

The Precious fight is really easy. Just kite her into Festergut's room and backpedal around the circle to kite the zombies. If you're two manning it like I did and you're not the person tanking her you should try to get in front of her and backpedal too when zombies are spawning. If they aggro to you they can easily daze you and with your HP being at roughly 30k it doesn't take a lot of zombie hits to kill you.

All and all the runs took roughly 6-8 minutes. A fairly easy price to pay for the best shirt in game.

And for those of you to care about odds, it took us 11 runs to get the shirt.

Comment by 931374

Been farming for the last week as often as possible, and it took close to 200 kills for 4 ribbons to drop (lost the first three rolls!). Since this mob cannot be soloed by my 385 assassination rogue, I had to find some trade chat tanks. Good luck to all those farming!

Comment by pyrannor2012

Looking for confirmation that this item is still apart of Precious' loot table. Been some confusion as to weather or not it's still in game.

Comment by 860927

This item can be farmed. A simple reset will respawn precious along with any trash. You will however need a 4/12 lockout to reach precious. Once there, you can use an invisibility potion (or lesser invisibility potion) to get through trash from the Aboms to the stairs where you'll need to kill one giant and a pat that needs to be Aoe'd. You'll also need to kill one scientist that stands between you and precious.

I have heard this can be solo farmed by some classes, namely blood DKs and Feral Druids (and i'm sure others), but I had to two-man farm this as a shadow priest with a demo lock helping me

I, as a Shadow priest, had to enlist the help of a demo lock to help me with trash and precious. No matter how much I tried I could not solo the AoE pat, nor precious alone even. As a two man cloth team it isn't very difficult to do, especially once you get the hang of a few kills.

We didn't have much luck, it took us around 25 total kills to get the ribbon to drop (takes quite a bit of time, waiting for potions to come off CD)

Good luck farming!

Comment by 846438

This is how I got this shirt.

First asked guildies to help me clear first 4 bosses in icc.

I am resto/boomkin, its impossible to solo it as moonkin so I respeced feral.
Finally feral set become useful...

Ask someone for inv to make raid group.

Go straight to Precious using stealth in cat form to avoid trash groups.

He is easily soloable in bear form. You will get healed from Leader of the Pack talent every 6 seconds.
Keep swiping, thrashing to clear adds, keep demo roar up.

Go out of insance, ( or just get killed), to reset it after you kill Precious.

You can try 5 times per hour (because of "too many instances entered" error )

Good luck in your shirt farming ^^ .

I was lucky to get it from 1st try of soloing this.

Comment by wowZhenek

dropped after 18 kills for my mage. Pretty sweet!

Comment by 701591

First of all, this shirt give's the same buff as you see on Precious when you wear it.

Now, as a Druid I could solo this, and I'm pretty sure hunters, warlocks, and any other tank class can solo this as well. Only problem is that you have to spend ~40seconds stealthing past all the other mobs that you can't possibly solo, and the highest invisibility potion is 18seconds. You might be able to spam lesser invisibility potions, but I can't confirm that. Worth a shot. And since Druids are the only class that can solo this AND stealth from the few mobs, I'll be writing it in their PoV.

What you need to do is set up a group, or join a group, that clears the instances first 4 bosses. You don't need to clear any other bosses.

Once you do that, leave the group, leave the instance, have feral gear and a feral spec, , ready, reset the instance, and enter.

Take the teleport to the Upper Spire, then go forward and take a left towards the Aboms. Be careful of the valk's. They're annoying, but they won't be nearly able to kill you if you sit in bear.

Stealth past all the mobs. Make sure to wait for the little geists jumping around the stairs. There's so many of them, and they're high enough level to get you out of stealth. You can't solo them.

Keep stealthing past up the stairs, then turn a right. (There should be a center gate, Professor Putricide's, a left hallway, and a righthallway).

Once you reach the end of the hallway, stand in the little corner, and wait for Precious to pat way. Then kill the little Plague Scientist so he doesn't bother you when you pull Precious. It's OK if you accidentally pull precious, but it's easier to do it one at a time.

During the precious fight, there will be 4 things you have to worry about:
At about 80% health of Precious' health, you will become immune to heals. This means that bringing a healer friend to help you is useless, and it also means that frenzied regeneration is useless. Not to worry though, with barkskin, savage defense absorbs, survival instincts, and demoralizing roar, it wont be a problem, until later in the fight.
Decimate is one of precious' abilities that brings you up/down to 15% health. This may be intimidating with the immunity to heals, but this is good. It will actually save you later in the fight. He will do this periodically throughout the fight.
At about 70%, he summons Zombies, they do some damage as a group, because of their other ability which you need to worry about, which increases physical damage for each stack. It stacks up to 99 time.

Now that you know all that, all you need to do is DPS precious as much as possible by using lacerate, pulverize, maul, mangle, and thrash. Once the adds spawn, just do thrash, maul, mangle, and swipe. At about 90 stacks of the debuff, you will be very close to dying, so this is when you pop survival instincts AND berserk. Yes that's right, berserk serves as a defensive cooldown when it's paired with savage defense. It also get's rid of the zombies quicker so they stop bashing on you. Right when you get down to 10% health, there should be a decimate to keep you at 15%. Rinse, repeat.

Once you've killed Precious, destroy your healthstone, and make a new set in the equipment manager, with no gear on. (Make sure to save your current gear!), and take everything off. Go to the support page at the bottom of your screen, and go to Character Stuck at the left, and then Teleport to Graveyard. This saves you ALOT of time.
If you don't delete your hearthstone, it'll just hearth you.
You can always get a new hearthstone from any innkeeper.
Once you die, as a ghost when you're running back, reset the instance and enter.

One last thing: You don't need to disturb anyone by being in a raid this entire time, you can invite them, convert to raid, enter, and then when they leave, it won't teleport you out. It will teleport you out if they're leader, or if you leave.

Hope I helped :P

Comment by 954889

In order to farm this shirt using Blood spec, here is what I did:

First, get a group of friends, or guildies help you clear the first four bosses in ICC. Once you have the first 4 down, you are free to farm.

Before engaging Princess, you must clear the trash on the way to him/her each time.

What I did when fighting Precious was just use Outbreak on cooldown, and plenty of Death Strikes. Once the zombies are raised, I would kite Precious around the circular room just previous to where he/she patrols.

If you are not familiar with the fight, it can be nerve racking due to the debuff that keeps you at 15% health, but if you like me are using a Blood spec, the Death Strike absorbs are more than adequate as long as you don't let tons of undead beat on you.

Once you finish off Precious, loot him/her, then just run out of the raid, and then right click your portrait, and click clear all dungeons/raids. As long as you don't kill the bosses in Plague Quarter, and just leave after you kill Precious, Precious will respawn every time. It took me 6 tries before shirt dropped, but it may take you more, or less.

Goodluck!

Comment by Sasmina

After around 20-30 kills it finally dropped :)

Don't give up chaps!

Comment by Dubz

Just farmed this in 2 days. Took my buddy and I 20 kills to get our first shirt drop. Confirmed still drops in 5.0.4

Comment by 355492

Really easy to solo farm on a blood DK. Use an invisibility potion to skip the trash outside the entrance of plague wing,

If you can get a group to kill Festergut first, the circular room is nice to kite Precious around there.
The 5 instance/hour limit is annoying but it has got to drop eventually! It took 23 kills to see it on my DK. My hunter must be really unlucky because I'm at around 50 kills and no shirt

Comment by Enue

Is the ribbon obtainable on 10man difficulty?

Also is there is change to drop rate from 10 / 25?

Comment by Quackie

Dropped for me yesterday on 10 man normal after about a dozen solo kills coupled with countless raid weeks during WOTLK.

Comment by 515409

You can farm this solo:

Make sure you have 10N raid difficulty.
Clear first wing (Boat/Deathbringer Saurfang can be a pain however so maybe bring a friend).
Go to plague quarter, you can skip ALL trash if you got prowl/stealth. (If you do kill the trash beware of the Pustulating Horrors they deal insane damage, i warned you!)
Kill Precious which is very easy at lvl 90.
If the shirt doesn't drop go die by Rotface & Release spirit.
When outside reset all instances. (You have to be in a group for this to work)
Go back in and repeat step 3-7.

Comment by 1110099

I just saw a lvl 19 twink with this precious ribbon, HOW ?

Comment by 112503

For people having trouble with the "Reset All Instances" farm method, you need to make sure both inside and outside you've selected your raid difficulty (so 10 man inside AND 10 man outside), then reset before you go in, whilst in a group.

So to clarify how I do it:

Group.
Select 10man difficulty outside ICC.
Reset all instances.
Enter ICC.
Select 10man difficulty inside.
6Kill Precious.
Die and release to graveyard.
Start from #2, rinse and repeat.

Comment by Aranill

Dropped 3 times in the past 2 weeks (on 2 different characters), while doing weekly Invincible run.

Drops off of precious in the plagueworks of ICC

Comment by milesacton360

Anybody know if the status effect 'A ribbon of affection' will stick around in Legion when shirts are an appearance item? I've had this shirt on my main since our third or fourth clear of ICC in Wrath, I would hate to lose that effect!

Comment by Alexandria85

I've run this instance and killed Precious about 100 times over the past few weeks. Can anyone please confirm this item (Preciou's Ribbon) still drops in patch 6.2.4? Thanks in advance.

Comment by BlizzardCS

Due to an issue, Precious's Ribbon cannot be transmogrified into another shirt; however, you can still use the skin of Precious's Ribbon to transmogrify other shirts. Our development team is investigating this.

Comment by Wuatdah

I wish I could transmog over this shirt, while still keeping the precious buff. : /

Comment by Zeror33

Not transmoggable. Not that you'd want to. Why would you want to hide such a glorious shirt?

Comment by Ryawy

I have seen many a raid group disband over this shirt.

Comment by 1687874

Got it today. Took 27 kills on 10N before it dropped. But now my cow is "Best in Show"

Comment by Xipherian

Can now be transmogged as of 7.1

Comment by biggaz69

Still drops, just dropped it on my demon hunter farming the pets from certain bosses :)

Comment by Kurisuto

Most accurate farm method for this now? I have the friend zone in and log off, so I can kill Precious run out and reset the dungeon zone back in. Basically any recommendations? Like 10 or 25, personal loot or group loot?

Comment by skyline33

Just dropped for me on 25 Man Normal

Comment by Wyr3d

Funnily enough, this drop awarded my account "Fahionista: Shirt!"

Comment by d3l1r1um

I'm unsure if this can still drop after 8.0.1. Currently, neither Precious nor Stinky are dropping any loot on my ICC 25 Heroic runs (farming Invincible). I've submitted a bug for this. It's possible that Ribbon is still in the loot table and only random trash/money loot is missing, so please comment if you've gotten this shirt post-8.0.1!

Comment by ToOurRoots

Just got this ribbon today after almost 50 runs across all my characters. I did notice something interesting, as well. The item itself is titled "Precious' Ribbon", but the buff tooltip reads "Precious's Ribbon", with an extra 's' after the apostrophe. Could be an oversight, maybe not.

Comment by Medussa

11% drop rate, my ar*e! I've been running this place for years! Only seen it today for the first time =P

Comment by Alumian

Still drops as of patch 8.1. Ignore the indicated droprate, it's obviously skewed heavily towards data collected in WOTLK. After approximately 30-40 kills, I saw the item drop once. I didn't get it, I saw it drop though.

...I'm not bitter, what are you talking about?

Edit: Dropped on 25 heroic, unable to confirm if post-lock farming still works since this was the first kill of the lockout. Precious does continues to respawn if you leave the dungeon for approximately 20-30 minutes assuming you have not killed Rotface.

Comment by cabrergu

Can confirm it still drops. Got it yesterday running solo 25-man Heroic on a 116 DH.

Comment by sonnyeclipse

Can confirm this is still dropping as of patch 8.2.5 on 25 Man Normal

As for the people thinking precious' loot is bugged. It is not. She doesn't always drop loot so don't get worried if you kill her and you don't even get the loot symbol.

I got this through the farming method. Simply enter on 10man normal, kill bosses and precious (if it doesn't drop) leave the instance VIA teleporter, exit the raid convert to 25man reset and re-enter. If it still doesn't drop, exit change it to 10man reset it then set to 25 man reset then proceed to rinse and repeat until you get the Ribbon.

Still drops, got it while farming transmog in 10-man Heroic.

Comment by ElviraBanks

Still drops as of 8.3. I don't know if I necessarily agree with the drop rate listed. Personally I feel it's a little lower.

Comment by BladestormTank

Wanted to update: As of today 7/20/20 (Patch 8.3) it still drops. Extremely low chance, but it still drops. I was running 25-H.

Also, interesting although obvious note I haven't seen mentioned: Transmogrifying the shirt does NOT give you the "ribbon" buff. Only the original item does.

Comment by BananaStalker

Remember, the drop rate listed is calculated from the times that Precious actually drop anything at all (gold not included). This means, the 95% of the times she does not drop any items at all will not affect the drop rate. It sucks I know :-\ This is the way the Wowhead drop rates always has worked.

Got it today H25 while doing an invincible run. Had to look it up because Its my 102nd run and I don't remember ever seeing it, though I've heard of its existence.

Comment by salander

Can confirm that it still drops in Shadowlands pre-patch :-) Got mine today after 16 kills.

Comment by LuDe22

I have about 5-6 toons with this. 3-4 have multiples...one toon has 4 + all in my quest for that damn mount!

Comment by nolervik

Dropped for me today while doing the weekly mount-run.

Comment by Priscilla519

I finally had this drop for me! SO exicted! ^,^

Comment by Enina

I just got one 5/13/21 on one of my alts. As someone that saw this drop about 16 times during ICC in WotLK, but never afterwards, I didn't even think it was still in the game.

Comment by Peaches

Just so people don't make my mistake. I thought bringing a friend would help maybe buff the drop for shirt and mount, also I didn't want to exclude my buddy lol and found out that the shirt is personal loot. I watched my friend sit there awkwardly in that crouch loot stance as he tried to find a good way to tell me the shirt dropped for him and he couldn't trade. Hurts. Don't bring a friend to kill precious xD just fyi

Comment by DillonRobinson

Drop rate not accurate - I've done like 100 Invincible runs over the years and never, ever saw this item until right now.

Comment by Killidan

guide for shadowlands farming: enter icc 10 normal, kill the first 4 bosses, then kill Precious next to Festergut and Rotface. Go out reset instances, enter icc 25 normal, use teleport to 4th floor kill Precious again. Repeat this until you get the shirt. Got it on my 4th. try, gl!

Comment by remmas

got it 4 times yesterday and now i farming for other characters

just do it in normal . kill him and go back , exit ICC then enter it will be reset , you even no need to reset by self

DONT do in heroic or you will be locked in what raid size you choose and adds will not reset again

in normal you can change between 10 and 25 even you already kill first 4 bosses and all trash including Precious will reset again

DONT kill bosses in Precious wings or will not reset again and you need to wait next week

Comment by Exisa

Got it today first day of farming took around 16 times
had a small lockout came back did it a few more times and it dropped
I got it off Normal 10 person , make sure to convert to raid, then kill the first 4 bosses then kill precious (none of those bosses in those wings), leave reset instance and repeat
good luck <3

Comment by Nalpoa

Still remember getting this one week on guild progression early on in ICC droped and went as free loot, i wound up winning this on my warlock main, at the time, which was always nice to have the extra buff on my bar

Comment by JohnnyBravo999

Just dropped for me today on 25H on my never-ending Invincible runs.

Comment by Kalnov04

I got this today for the first time, played since 2004.

Fastest way I have found to farm this and hit the hourly instance cap.

First setup the raid for farming:

Set your raid difficulty to Normal (I did 25man Legacy but I don't think it matters)
Clear the first 4 bosses
Sprint straight to Precious and kill her (She will regularly not drop any loot)
Run outside

Now that the four bosses have been killed and you're outside the raid:

Reset the instance
Start a group in premade group finder with only you in it
Run inside and leave your party. (Right click your unitframe and hit leave party)
A 60 second timer will now start counting down that will teleport you outside to the graveyard
Take the teleporter and run and kill precious.
If your character is fast enough, you should be able to kill her and then have a few seconds left to wait and you will be teleported out
Repeat from step 1

The teleporting out to GY makes farming this much faster. If your class isn't fast enough, you can delay when you leave the party to give yourself more time. With a shaman ghost form, I was able to run from entrance to precious in about 40 seconds.

Good luck! Took me about ~35 tries on a new character.

Comment by Suitsuke

The "Best in show" buff from this made me sad, he was the best hound in the show and we slaughtered him. :(

Comment by Mindsoothe

I have farmed ICC for YEARS (Dear Invincible, why so stingy? You have stood me up all these years - Mindsoothe)

And in an army of alts, I've only had 3 drop.

THREE.

In this day and age, Blizz needs to make this a Warband Toy so everyone can get the "Best In Show" buff.

Comment by Hjorthie
