You will not see this ring on the vendor until you have reached high (4/5) reputation with the Cobalt Assembly

Comment by jjanchan

From anyone wanting to obtain the proc rings (easy 389 ilevel rings), here's some info on that:

You need to be level 70 farm the required reputation with Cobalt Assembly
Complete the short initial quest chain starting with Welcome to the Assembly, started from Xavin at
The Cobalt Assembly faction is slightly different from a standard faction, as you earn rep not by killing mobs but by looting them. They drop items that increase your reputation bar, and the only indication that this is happening is a chat string stating "The Cobalt Assembly's arcane power increases"

Note that the items themselves do not go in your bags and do not need to be used; they will automatically apply to your reputation

The standard reputation levels (Friendly, Honored, Revered, etc.) are replaced by Cobalt Assembly Power Levels - Empty (1/5), Low (2/5), Medium (3/5), High (4/5) and Maximum (5/5)
To get the rings, you need to reach High Power (level 4/5), which takes less than an hour of farming mobs in a group
The mobs you have to kill are centred around at the Cobalt Assembly in the Azure Span
The mobs are Elite and have quite a bit of health; a group is advised, and there are many in the Group Finder
The Quartermaster that sells the rings is Steiz located at

As of the writing of this post, the rings themselves are NOT visible on the vendor until you reach the requisite High Power (level 4/5)

The rings in question are as follows:

You can only equip 1 "Cobalt Ring of Power" at a time

Some TomTom commands to help you find things:

/way 48, 18 Cobalt Assembly mobs
/way 49.4, 22.6 Steiz Cobalt Assembly Quartermaster

Looks great for Tanking, or if you need more survivability.

Hi all

Small Guide how to farm Reputation for Cobalt Assembly. But to start it You need to have lvl 70.

See My Video with map and farm - https://youtu.be/yLtiC7nUdJk

When You raech level 70 go to see Venthi 49 23 He Will Give You quest Welcome to the Assembly You need only to speak with Xavin.

After that go to enterenc where You will farm reputation 48.8 23.8 and Find Party solo i hard to do in team much faster.

When You will kill mobs You can get drop:
- "Cobalt Assembly Moderate Arcana" - 15 reputation
- "Cobalt Assembly Major Arcana" - 30 reputation

That items are consume automatically. Farm in Party is going preaty fast. Some of mobs are preaty hard. When You fight You can pick Up buffs to help with speed of killing mobs.

Main reword from farming reputation is items selling by Steiz 49.4 22.6:

- Assembly Guardian's Ring
- Assembly Scholar's Loop
- Assembly Preserver's Band
- Pattern: Frozen Spellthread

All of them for Gold with is good.

Hope That Help YOu :)

I am using this ring on my guardian druid. In mythic+ dungeon run it absorbs on average about 1.5M damage (that would be around 1k absorb per second in typical m+ run). Although the downside is you get about 470 less off stats then what would you get on other 389 ilvl rings. Also no versatility.

Comment by MJSquash

it does almost as much healing as ignore pain in a raid or m+ forme, it is beyond insane. I don't see any ring being better than this regardless of stats.

Comment by Vailnite

There is currently (10.0.7) an exploit that allows this ring to be acquired by a toon as early as level 60. Said exploit involves the player having 2 accounts; 1 with Dragon Flight and one with only the base game (Shadowlands). The player then uses a 70 (or several unsuspecting ones in the area) to assist the 60 in farming the rep for the item. Once the 60 has the item, the toon is then transferred to the SL account, where their exp is locked by design.

And yes, it is in fact against the rules to transfer from Dragon Flight back to Shadowlands. The idea here is to create a pay-to-win twink with an ilvl WELL beyond what anyone could achieve with just a normal WoW account in Shadowlands.

"You cannot transfer a character from an account with the latest expansion to an account without the expansion" -- https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/34787

There are several other items like this, HOWEVER-- Those items have mostly been fixed on the ptr by slapping a level 70 requirement on them. As such, the exploit is no longer possible with THOSE items... For whatever reason, at this time, Blizzard has not applied the same fix to this ring.

I would ask that anyone reading this lend me an upvote so that we can draw attention to this inconsistency, and hopefully have it addressed before the next patch goes live in a month's time.
