The +340 intel and a summon of a well of some sorts indicates this will be focused towards healer classes. I'm hoping the use this trinket has is a sort of holy priest Lightwell effect, maybe for mana instead.

Comment by Prasiatko

ANOTHER lolwell? Blizz has to LOVE them.
But seriously, they should make them at least clickable form range and slightly (read: few times) bigger to be both more noticeable and easier to click. 20yd click range and size of tauren could be good

Comment by LoKHor

Yeah, it definitely sounds like it is for healers. What else would a Moonwell be if not a variant Lightwell? Still, imagine as a caster being able to provide healing for people? Or perhaps the Moonwell will do something unprecedented, such as boost intellect / agility / strength depending on the class of the clicker?

This item will be one of the rewards from the new rep vendors in 4.2, at the new Firelands hub.

Comment by zeyue

The use effect may be there just as an added bonus flavor effect and it has a proc, as none of the other trinkets Moonwell Phial and Ricket's Magnetic Fireball added have procs or other effects yet.

Comment by hellomynameis

wowheads "see also" says this is related to Vibrant Alchemist Stone, this leads me to believe this will be like the alchemist stones out on that sunwell island, you needed Exalted with Shattered Sun Offensive to be able to buy it.

Here are the old recipes;
Recipe: Assassin's Alchemist Stone
Recipe: Guardian's Alchemist Stone
Recipe: Redeemer's Alchemist Stone
Recipe: Sorcerer's Alchemist Stone

In Cata this will then be Exalted with that new place we can do dailies, and you will be able to buy recipes for these trinkets when you reach exalted;
Ricket's Magnetic Fireball (non-ptr lin)
Moonwell Phial (non-ptr link)
Most likely two more, which could be these;
Moonwell Chalice (non-ptr link)
Dwyer's Caber (non-ptr link)

This item is available after completing both the Druids of the Talon quest and the Shadow Warden quest

The NPC who sells this item and many others is

Ayla Shadowstorm <Treasures of Elune>

This item can only be bought after completing the "Filling the moonwell" 125 mark quest.

It has a cost of 122g 28s 20c

I got this today and the ~~proc is 850 Mastery for 20s~~

The tooltip now says 1700int for 20s with 2min cd but it gives 1700 mastery for 20s with 2min cd.

As of PTR build 14179

Comment by Erethzium

Seeing as it's Int + Int use...any caster, not just healers.

Edit: As usual, being downrated for telling the truth. <3 Wowhead

Comment by Moosepoo

A small moonwell appears!
Moonwell uses Bless.
It's super effective!

Comment by 715378

If you read my post you would see that currently on the PTR the proc is 1700 mastery for 20s not Intellect, despite it saying it's 1700 intellect.

Comment by Vagoth

Overpowered for Demonology warlocks? Basically, pop this every Metamorphis (should be less than 2 minutes with appropriate haste) and just watch the damage.

Comment by tobindax

Hilariously, this is NOT that good for Arcane Mages according to Rawr. At least, not better than Theralion's Mirror (359) or even Soul Casket (also 359).

Comment by 385492

:(... if it wasn't for the intel, this would be nice for tanking... but I wouldn't wanna hog BOTH trinkets now would I? I suppose my pally could use some more mana lol.

Comment by UndeadWarlock

What? A CD Arcane Mages might blow outside of the burn cycle?

Blasphemy!

Comment by timreh

Is this actually better than the Darkmoon Card: Volcano that gives mastery rating by 321, (that you can reforge into a useful stat), and 900 to 1500 additional Fire damage, and 1600 intellect nearly all the time, (at least once a fight)?

Darkmoon Card: Volcano
Binds when equipped
Unique-Equipped

Trinket

Requires Level 85
Item Level 359

Equip: Increases your mastery rating by 321 (1.79 @ L85).
Equip: When dealing damage with spells, you have a chance to deal 900 to 1500 additional Fire damage to the target and gain 1600 Intellect for 12 sec.

Comment by 39022

The math has been done on the DMC:V and it has shown to be equivalent to 400 int as long as you are making use of it's procs. You then get the 321 rating (reforgable) and the additional fire dmg from procs.

Compare that to 340 int from MWC and the 283 (1700/6) mastery you get (Not reforgable).

Thing is with on use abilities. You are going to lose out on a ton of it's benefit if you don't activate it immediately, unlike a proc trinket that will activate faster then the human hand can press the keybind.

From an arc mage's perspective, if you are serious about dps, you are an engineer and you already have a on use ability . You wouldn't be able to stack them together so that makes this trinket pretty meh. DMC: V procs for me every fight right away right when I need it to b/c I have flame orb out there to do that job.

Comment by timreh

"Thing is with on use abilities. You are going to lose out on a ton of it's benefit if you don't activate it immediately"...

reply:

In the case of items w/ a "USE" ability, I macro an appropriate spell(s) with a slightly lower cooldown to "use" the item. In other words, one of the many spells I'm using is keeping the trinkets I'm using hot. If the trinket isn't ready, you get a brief fail, "item not ready", but the spell works all the same. And you fire the trink on the next spell.

Comment by Raptorswipe

I must say, I'm slightly damp.

Comment by 843951

Do you need to remain in range of the moonwell to keep the buff? If so, what's its range like?

Comment by 852431

apparently shares cd with this. someone please tell me why.

Comment by ViceVersa

Blessing of the Moonwell is item spell name

Comment by Setrah

Is it better than Vibrant Alchemist Stone with +40 int gem somehow? For, say, affliction warlock? Lose haste rating but gain useable mastery and slight average ilvl increase =)

Comment by 264294

If timed properly with Metamorphosis and the Doomguard, the 1700 mastery proc from this is a monster for Demonology Warlocks. It's simming as BiS, even for T12H profiles.

Comment by 838725

What? Shared cooldown with ?
I clicked the "Shared cooldown" bar at the top of this page, and all i got was Gus' First Aid Kit

The 1700 mastery rating gives you 9,48 mastery, which increases damage of fire DoTs by 26,55%

Pretty good if it can be used with after Mastery: Ignite, Living Bomb, http://www.wowhead.com/spell=92315. Also very good if you can while you have http://www.wowhead.com/spell=12357.

Comment by Natureboy10307

I will be getting this today, as a Balance druid, im going to keep my other trinkets but try this one out, im thinking of.....Eclipse/Lust,Time warp, or AH/this trinket/Darkmoon Fair card Volcano/Power Torrent procs. Imagine if i could have all this happen at once, i wonder if it's possible >=]

Comment by Erethzium

....Has nothing to do with Moonwell Chalice.

Comment by froliz

Got this trinket today, and after some testing:
It stacks and can be used with Soul Casket and Figurine - Jeweled Serpent (so that you have both this trinket's 20s buff and the other trinket's 20s buff at the same time); using this trinket or any of the other trinkets will not cause either one to go into a 20s CD like most other on-use trinkets would.

And someone on EJ said it stacks with engineering gloves too.
As long as blizzard doesn't change this, even more CD stacking (plus the stats being int and mastery) = profit for arcane mage

---EDIT---
As of 7/26/2011, a hot fix had been applied to live realms and this trinket is no longer able to be used along with any other on-use effects. So this trinket now just works like any other on-use trinket and has a shared CD.

Comment by dhajdahrs

I'm currently using this as an arcane mage. I use it after the evocation following the burn phase, to make maximum use of the mastery that arcane mages have been given (more mana, more damage). I think I can squeeze more damage from this item this way than just using it on the burn rotation (mana dropping extremely fast). Please correct me if I am wrong.

Comment by 60618

Does not share the CD with Gus' First Aid Kit afterall, a HUGE relief! I can't see my guild downing any bosses without our goblin cheerleader telling us to lose some weight!

Comment by 56951

The on-use buff you get is called Blessing of the Moonwell, it has a range of 30 yds (tested) from the position where the moonwell spawned.

If you run away more than 30 yds, you lose the buff. You can't regain it by coming back into its range.

As long as you're under its effect, there is a blueish glow linking you and the moonwell (see the screenshot above).

The buff (and the glow) is not affected by line of sight, it works through the walls and other obstacles.

Comment by 302334

Curious is this is better than Figurine - Jeweled Serpent for fire mage. +340 int is obviously better than +285int but is 1700 mastery better than 1425 spell power? I would *think* so, but anyone done any testing before I unlock this vendor first to buy this?

Comment by 204972

1700 mastery means it's not a holy priest trinket.

The only purpose it serves for holy priests is upping one's average ilevel. Mastery for holy priests only leaves a tiny HoT on the healed player, post-healing. I did some testing. The /use effect on this trinket is worth roughly extra 120 hp per tick of that HoT. That's a negligible amount of healing and it's slow and not wisely targeted.

It has a very nice graphic effect that I might use for RP purposes, but that's all it'll be good for.

Comment by Erethzium

Has nothing to do with Moonwell Chalice.

Comment by Faell

Not a bad idea for Restoration Druids using this to bind it to their direct heals considering how our mastery works.

#showtooltip Swiftmend
/use 13
/cast Swiftmend
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

The above is an example macro. When creating a macro, do not select an icon as the first line of the macro will select the proper icon for you and show the spell tool tip and cooldown instead of the trinket cooldown. The second line uses the top trinket slot and, alternatively, 14 will use the bottom trinket slot. The very last line of the macro will prevent you from getting an error message when casting while the trinket is on cooldown.

Other classes may be able to create similarly useful macros.

Comment by zelinda

But it does have the same icon, yes.

Comment by rabiesarebad

I picked up this trinket and had a chance to test it out on my Warlock. Here is what I noticed:

- Upon popping the trinket, the buff takes a moment to actually apply. This means that if you are going to macro it with a spell, you will not gain the mastery benefit until after you have actually used the spell. You will probably want to keybind this trinket separately.
- The trinket can be outranged. It appears to have around a 40 yard range. If you outrange it, you lose the buff and will not regain it if you run back in range.
- As mentioned above, it doesn't share a cooldown with the engineering tinker Synapse Springs.

Against a ret paladin with 3800 resilience, I saw non-crit shadowbites as high as 13k when this trinket was popped. This is with 3900 resil on, and all gear reforged into haste rather than mastery (I PVP as Affliction). If you plan to PVP as Demo, it might be worth using, as the moonwell itself is non-hostile and cannot be killed by enemies.

Comment by Koshica

This trinket got a ninja nerf on my server, now shares the 20s cd with other on use trinkets, unfortunately. I suspect synapse springs as well too, but I'm not an engineer.

Comment by 859603

This buff stays after you remove the trinket. Bought it on my Hunter, and use it BEFORE a boss pull like a pre-potion.

Step 1. Equip trinket in top trinket slot. (preferably replacing a NON-use trinket)

Step 2. Wait at least 30 seconds (get food buff, get in position etc) for trinket to become usable.

Step 3. Just as tank is about to pull but BEFORE you are in combat hit a macro like so. (adjust to your class/gear)

#showtooltip Moonwell Chalice
/use Moonwell Chalice
/equip Fluid Death <---Put your orignal trinket name here
/use Potion of the Tol'vir <----Whatever pre-potion you use if any
/cast Misdirection <----Any spell you want to cast before pull.

Bing bang boom, 1700 Mastery for start of fight (plus any other pre-pull stuff you do on your class)

*Just make sure to hit the MACRO BEFORE combat starts or you will be stuck with the trinket all fight.

Comment by fhait

1700 mastery means it's not a holy priest trinket.

The only purpose it serves for holy priests is upping one's average ilevel. Mastery for holy priests only leaves a tiny HoT on the healed player, post-healing. I did some testing. The /use effect on this trinket is worth roughly extra 120 hp per tick of that HoT. That's a negligible amount of healing and it's slow and not wisely targeted.

This statement lacks context, although I generally agree with the conclusion.

I'd recommend this trinket for situational use. ie predictable burst dmg where you have a choice of multiple trinkets with the same equivalent +int values.

I was able to get similar results to yours (+120 to Echo of Light ticks) using Circle of Healing, so I'll assume you are considering a raid-healing application.

This buff lasts 20seconds though. In that time you could reasonably accomplish: (if you consider 10% haste reasonable which is what I'm sitting at self-buffed, and a burst-dmg raid healing scenario)

<proc moonwell - (+12% HoT in my case) (multi-target spells have been summed)

===============================================
<circle of healing> Heal 5ppl for ~30,000
<flash heal> ~18,000 (serendipidy x1)
<flash heal> ~18,000 (serendipidy x2)
<prayer of healing> ~40,000
<flash heal> ~18,000 (serendipidy x1)
<flash heal> ~18,000 (serendipidy x2)
<prayer of healing> ~40,000
<circle of healing> ~30,000
<flash heal> ~18,000 (serendipidy x1)
<flash heal> ~18,000 (serendipidy x2)
<prayer of healing> ~40,000
===============================================
<moonwell proc fades> ~288,000 healing done via direct heals (all stacking Echo)

That 288,000 healing from that sample rotation would result in roughly 35,000 extra healing (1750hps avg over the 20second period or 290hps) . (I'm just including the ADDITIONAL 12% healing that I get from the mastery proc from the trinket)

Also, consider that the sequence above would be able to crit up to 31 times given that each of the multi-target heals can crit for double the healing when judging the value of this.

TLDR: Decide whether your current trinkets beats the equivalent of 341int + proc (roughly 1750hps/120s = ~290 hps)

Per the July 26th stealth patch update:

The Moonwell Chalice is now on a shared cooldown with other on-use trinkets.
The Moonwell Phial is now on a shared cooldown with other on-use trinkets.

This is very sad. :-(

Comment by 859603

They did add a shared cooldown with the Engineering glove enchant Synapse Springs. However the cooldown is just the length of the Moonwell spell (20 seconds) then the glove enchant will be off cooldown.

As of 7/27/11 Ricket's Magnetic Fireball Does not share a cooldown and the effects can be stacked. Only other on-use trinket I have tested, but definatly not all on-use trinkets are put on cooldown when useing moonwell.

Comment by vedor

I tested this item for healing with my Restodruid. I unequipped weapons that had procs (i.e. Power Torrent or Mandala of Stirring Patterns).

Equipped:
Nourish - 5829
Rejuvenate - 1725
Rejuvenate - 6524 (Critical)
Rejuvenate - 3167
Rejuvenate - 3167
Rejuvenate - 3167

On use:
Nourish - 6693
Rejuvenate - 1725
Rejuvenate - 3407
Rejuvenate - 3407
Rejuvenate - 3406
Rejuvenate - 3407

Not counting the Crit, it looks like about a 7.57% increase in each HoT tick and 14.8% increase in direct heal. I hadn't realized the importance of Mastery on the direct heals of Restodruid, but Harmony is, "Your direct heal is increased by 16% and ...."

I had replaced this item with Vibrant Alchemist Stone, which gave (on test)
Nourish - 5801
Rejuvenate - 1727
Rejuvenate - 3169
Rejuvenate - 3170
Rejuvenate - 3170
Rejuvenate - 3170

I'm not sure why the first tick of Rejuvenate is always lower.

Comment by 259138

This was omgbbqwtf $%^&ing godly when it did not share a cooldown with the Justice Point item, Soul Casket, but with the hotfix, it is now just *!@#ing godly as a Demo warlock with Doomguard and Demon Soul.

I raged when I logged onto see that my two trinkets now shared a global cooldown... I can never forgive Blizzard... Instant 32k DPS with level gear to Firelands.

Comment by SignupSucks

Any opinions on this versus the heroic Witching Hourglass for balance druids?

I tend to prefer procs over activated simply because their cooldowns are usually significantly shorter (as is born out here, with a reported ~80 seconds between procs on the Hourglass and a 2 minute cooldown for the chalice), despite having very similar durations and effects (20 seconds of 1700 mastery versus 15 seconds of 1700 haste). Being able to sync it with eclipse would be nice, but then that'll only happen maybe 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 cycles, versus an optimistic one in 2 (depending on how much time I have to spend not casting between them).

Haste is top choice for balance druids, but I'm not sure what the stat weights are between the two.

Comment by 304801

Interesting for benefit for holy paladins self-buffed in mostly 353-359 iL gear, save this trinket, I had 14.39 mastery. One cast of Divine light heals in my case for 23k (27-29k with wings up). it obsorbed something like 5.5k.

popping the trinket buffed my mastery to 23.87, which buffed the obsorb shield to nearly 10k. It seems in situations in which lay on hands is down and the healer needs to save the day, this trinket can be usefull.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for healadins, this trinket seems very worth getting.

Comment by Khuon

Click on the Moonwell!

Comment by Hyzan

When i first got this I was hopeing that the range was super long, so I went to the top of Mount Hyjal and levitated off the top as I activated it.... i was saddened when i found out it had a fairly short range, and it was a long ride down the mountain...without my cool blue rainbow =(

From an arc mage's perspective

I believe you missed that part.

Comment by Zizarz

So macro'ing this with Metamorphosis is a bad idea and actually doesn't give me any benefit from the trinket?
(Just wondering: Popping Metamorphosis and then activating the trinket a couple of seconds after is 0 increased demon-dmg?

Comment by 534473

This trinket is also useful for fury warriors with good timing and Vessel of Acceleration. I would advise making the two following macros for two GCD's just before the pull:

Macro 1:

/use Moonwell Chalice
/cast Battle Shout

Macro 2:

/cast Death Wish
/use Golemblood Potion
/equip Vessel of Acceleration

Basically, your death wish will gain full benefit from the mastery for the 30 seconds despite the buff only being present for when you first use it. This adds roughly 10.6% damage boost (additive) to your death wish for the 30 seconds and results in a DPS increase with only a couple of drawbacks:

-If you can't or don't change trinkets for any reason, obviously this is going to hurt your DPS very significantly for the whole fight, so practice first on the dummy.

-You can't really switch out any trinket other than the vessel because it will trigger its ICD, and almost certainly negate the benefits of the extra mastery. (Assuming you're not still using DMC: Hurricane or Licence to Slay)

Comment by dahaliana

I love it. Broken overpowered item, awarded after a freaking month of soul-crushing dailies.

Forgive my sarcasm. Grinds like this are not fun for what is essentially a required item for a min/max player.

Comment by QuickBASIC

This trinket is pretty insane for Balance druids. increases the damage from our Eclipsed spells based on mastery and this trinket lines up (depends on haste really) pretty damn good with hitting either eclipse you prefer every time.

Demonology Warlock - even in 4.3 it's hard to find a better trinket for demo locks

BiS trinkets (using the stat weights from Simcraft, thanks to neubs986) - only 4 trinkets will perform better for demo warlocks:

1. Cunning of the Cruel - Heroic
2. Insignia of the Corrupted Mind - Heroic
3. Cunning of the Cruel
4. Will of Unbinding - Heroic
