Diablo I and II References in WoWVanity Items

티리엘의 군마 was a reward for participating in WoW's Annual Pass, which also rewarded players who signed up for 12 months of WoW with free Diablo III and beta access. This item is no longer available.

우상족 주술사의 창 looks like a Fetish Shaman from Diablo II. It is obtained by purchasing Diablo III: Collector's Edition. He's got some neat animations--constantly babbling, bouncing around, and occasionally breathing the Diablo III trademark.

티리엘의 칼자루, summoning mini-Tyrael, was a gift inside the Paris Worldwide Invitation 2008 goody bag. It was made in limited quantities and the code can still fetch quite a bit of cash.

디아블로 소환석 summons Mini Diablo, <Lord of Terror> as a reward from the Collector's Edition of WoW's launch. The pet will occasionally levitate and spit fire into the air.

머카블로 is a WoW-Diablo hybrid--a murloc from a corrupt soulstone. He likes to breathe a lot of fire and smoke, as well as make typical murloc grunts with a demonic accent.

보물 고블린의 배낭 looks like the in-game Treasure Goblin who drops piles of gold and amazing items. It is obtained by purchasing Reaper of Souls.

머칼롯의 도리깨 is another WoW-Diablo hybrid--based on the new Crusader class coming in Reaper of Souls. This was a reward for BlizzCon 2013.

Gear

네이글 반지 pays tribute to Nagelring in Diablo II, a unique ring known for its large boost to magic find. They both share the bizarre feature of having the attacker take 3 damage.

광택나는 쇠미늘 갑옷 is a reference to the Illuminated Jazeraint items players could craft in Diablo II.

제사장의 고리 references a legendary ring, the Hierophant's Seal in Diablo II.

삼위일체의 아뮬렛 references one of the cults in Sanctuary, which posed as a peaceful organization yet served the Prime Evils. It's fitting that this item drops from Scarlet Monastery, another example of religion gone bad.

Many base armor types from Diablo II are referenced in WoW BoE sets, such as 집정관 가슴보호구, 뱀비늘 갑옷, 새김무늬 판금 갑옷, 전투 판금 갑옷, 고딕 판금 갑옷.

Weapons

독수리뿔 장궁: named after The Eaglehorn, a unique bow from both Diablo I and II.

조던의 지팡이, 조던의 장식띠, 커다란 조던의 지팡이: References to the Stone of Jordan, one of the most important items in Diablo II, which was used to socket items when no quests were available. They were collected in stacks and used as a form of currency.

달렌드의 성검, 달렌드의 부족 수호검: Best known to players now as the namesake for the heirloom 신성한 달렌드의 성검, it's a tribute to a weapon set in Diablo II: LoD, Bul-Katho's Children, which also consists of a Sacred Charge and Tribal Guardian.

도살자의 식칼 from Shadowfang Keep's 도살자 칼날발톱 has the exact same name and weapon type as the loot drop from Diablo I's Butcher.

멸망의 인도자: it's lacking good stats, but it's named after Doombringer, a two-handed sword with great stats in all three Diablo games.

어슷단검: this low-level BoE dagger references The Diggler from Diablo II: LoD, a dirk effective in early levels too.

가시 작살 could be a reference to the Halo weapon or The Needler from Diablo I.

천상의 빛: named after Heaven's Light from Diablo II, one of two unique Mighty Scepters in the game.

공포의 사신: named after Grim Reaper war scythe from Diablo II: LoD, which also was a weapon that was best at lower levels with a damage proc.

가고일의 이빨 is a low-level BoE with additional armor, named after Gargoyle's Bite from Diablo II, a winged harpoon with life leech.

혹한의 쐐기 is a removed item that used to be a reward from the Sunken Temple mage class quest. The Diablo II version had a cool proc that caused an AoE explosion and froze enemies in place--the WoW version had 싸늘한 기운, a chance to restore mana when casting Frostbolt.

Locations

Stone Cairn Lake in 엘윈 숲 is a lake with an island at the center that has five stones arranged around a memorial. This is most likely a reference to the Five Cairn Stones, an area in Diablo II where you open a portal to Tristram in Act I.

소왕의 가죽 갑옷 is a reference to the Secret Cow Level, the Moo Moo Farm, in Diablo II, which contained Hell Bovines and the Cow King.

One of the loading screens for WoW has "There is no cow level" as a tip.

트리스탐 다리보호대 is named after Tristram, one of the most important locations in all Diablo games.

NPCs

Mists of Pandaria added a series of achievements that references the Templar's dialogue when attacking rare spawns: 의미 있는 상대였습니다, 저런 적을 더 찾을 수 있을까요?, 영광스럽군요!.

카가니슈, a kobold in Borean Tundra, is a play on Rakanishu from Diablo II. Similar to the Diablo boss, the nearby NPCs will scream out his name in all caps in combat.

도살자 칼날발톱 in Shadowfang Keep references the iconic early boss of the same name in Diablo I, brought back as the Act I boss in Diablo III: The Butcher.

티라엘 플레임키스트 is an General Goods vendor at the Shattered Sun Offensive.

여신의 고뇌, formerly used by rogues to brew poison, references Andariel, the Maiden of Anguish. She was the first act boss in Diablo II and had a nasty Poison Spray ability.

남쪽바다 등불 is named after Wirt, an annoying vendor in Diablo I who would only sell you one expensive item--after you paid 50g to view it. His leg was amputated and replaced with a wooden leg after an attack on his village. In Diablo II, Wirt is dead and his corpse has a ton of gold (for taking all that money in Diablo I) as well as his leg, which is used to open the Secret Cow Level. In Diablo III, you'll need to buy Wirt's Bell as one of the steps to access the secret level Whimsyshire.

WoW References in Diablo IIINPCs

Murlocs make an appearance in this amulet: The Murlocket. It even has a murloc icon and the flavor text references the distinctive murloc grumble: Dredged from the murky shores of Lake Chu, this disturbing amulet emits strange sounds when held to one's ear.

In the Mountains: This Act I achievement for exploring the Highlands references the popular 토림 meme from his dialogue at the start of the encounter.

The achievement for acquiring follower tokens, I Got What You Need has always been one of the money-loving Goblin NPC quotes.

게헨나스 from Molten Core is the namesake for these pants with fire resistance: Gehennas.

Sarkoth, a quill elite found in an Act I cellar, is a joke on 사르코스, one of the first mobs Horde players face.

The Lich King's helm is found in an Ice Cave in Act III.

Expansions

Several of WoW's expansions make appearances as weapons:
Wrath of the Bone King

Cataclysm. The name is fairly generic, but the flavor text relates to the expansion: A weapon of myth and legend. Some say that to use it is folly—that it will rip the land asunder and boil the oceans.

화염 속으로Achievements

슬라드란 in Gundrak and Belial in Act II share the same achievement inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark: 뱀이라니... 왜 하필 뱀인거야?

Looting a 서명된 티굴의 사진 in Alterac Valley and completing Act IV on Normal difficulty with a Barbarian reward these similar-sounding achievements, named after a popular political phrase: 구하는 자, 전리품을 얻으리라!.

Weapons

Many crafted weapons share similar names in Diablo and WoW. They're not the most distinctive names, but there could be intentional references. For example:
검은 수호자, a crafted tanking epic weapon with expensive mats back in vanilla: Blackguard, a legendary weapon with defensive stats.

지휘의 투구, a crafted rare dps helm: The Helm of Command, legendary helm taught by trainer.

Warmonger전투사의 검Community

Bashiok, the former community lead for Diablo III, is a rare with his own achievement: Bashanishu. This achievement requires the player to damage Bashiok with Rakanishu's Blade, found after completing the Shrine of Rakanishu event in the Act II Oasis, which is a similarly tricky encounter. Diablo II players will remember Rakanishu also as the first Lightning Enchanted boss in the game, showing how resistance gear is useful.

Not to be outdone, former World of Warcraft community manager Zarhym has a popular spawn, and there's even a thread about it.

Elitist Jerks: Someone got frustrated by the banhammer too much at Elitist Jerks and named an achievement dedicated to killing elites after the popular theorycrafting site.

It's not specifically a Warcraft reference, but a neat community Easter Egg is Developer's Hell, a dungeon that has all the Diablo III staff wandering about as zombies. Killing Jay Wilson, the Game Director of Diablo III, rewards the Feat of Strength Smash! Jay, Smash! There's also the Quality Well, which features the undead QA team. WoW has done some similar staff tributes with Lake Dumont in Feralas and The Assurance in Stormwind, a ship filled with members of the Burning Crusade Testing and QA teams.

Fun facts. I think the Diablo-based vanity pets are awesome!

There's a Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker in Diablo 3.

Probably time to remove references to D3DB given it's now dead.

'xcuse me, but I call BS on this. Or, at least, I'll ask you for proof of that statement.
All this names are either generic 'fantasy armor' names or real armor type names, and they lack any visual similarities to Diablo armorpieces. Thus, I really want to see the reason why they are included to this list.

트리스탐 다리보호대 is named after Tristram, one of the most important locations in all Diablo games.

Same here. I see no reference in similarities between pants name and location name. Moreover, this could be an actual reference to the hero Tristam from Arthurian legend (better known as Tristan) or to the character Tristam from 1992 Super NES game "Final Fantasy Mystic Quest".
