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.

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

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

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 UndeadWarlock

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

Blasphemy!

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 ViceVersa

Blessing of the Moonwell is item spell name

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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 =(

Comment by Blackveil

Arcane mage here. Why would I use this junk when I have Theralion's Mirror?

Comment by 172268

Noticed in BWD 2 nights ago that for first time ever got message 'cannot use in combat' OMG !

Comment by guatafu

@CrazyChemist

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. Mastery: Total Eclipse 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.

Complete Filling the Moonwell to unlock the vendor that sells this item. Requires 125 Mark of the World Tree to turn in.

Comment by XxiolaA

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
