An amazing soloing tool when used with Power Infused Mushroom and any other available mana-restoring abilities/items. As a priest, this item, plus the mushroom trinket, plus Spirit Tap, plus Vampiric Touch, and you've got an amazing leveling/grinding machine. I used these all leveling all the way to 70 in the beta, and I would highly recommend them to any other priests looking to make a list of things to get for the Burning Crusade.

The non-caster counterpart to this trinket is Fetish of the Fallen along with the Essence Infused Mushroom.

Remember that this is trinket can be switched out, so a good plan would be to have something like the Mark of Defiance on all the time (avg. of -22.5 mana per cast) and switch between the Power-Infused Mushroom and this item.

e.g.
1) OHE (Occulus of the Hidden Eye) equipped. /use, kill mob, get 900 mana.

2) Switch to Power-Infused Mushroom Mushroom for 1 minute and 30 seconds, kill 3-6 mobs, gain 600-1200 mana.

3) Drink or Kill an extra mob while the last 30 seconds are cooling down on the Occulus.

4) Go to step 1.

Maximum mana gained while grinding. :D

This item along with the Power Infused Mushroom https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=28108 / Essence Infused Mushrom https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=28109 and the Fetish of the Fallen https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=27416 require that you get the killing blow for the mana / health to be recovered. A minor detail that the tooltip left out ><

Where does this trinket come from?

Anyone else finding this doesn't proc in instances? I used it in Kara and the mob I was dpsing died but the buff wasn't consumed and I got no mana. Managed to kill another mob while I still had the buff and it still didn't work. Ran Steamvaults the next night and the same thing happened.

Makes this ring useless for anything other than solo grinding.

If used and procced every two minutes on the button, the 900 mana bonus is equivalent to 37.5 mp5. In practice it takes slightly longer to acquire and kill another mob, say, an up to extra 30 seconds (for a total time between procs of 150 seconds), dropping the value to 30 mp5 -- which is still quite respectable.

The killing blow is all but guaranteed while soloing, generally obtainable in 5-mans depending on party composition if you watch mob health carefully and use Shadow Word: Death appropriately, and not worth counting on in raids. I recommend not swapping it out while grinding/farming in most cases -- as said above, the +33 damage on equip is nothing to sneeze at. A notable exception to this is when farming -7 or -8 mobs (i.e. level 62/63 when you are level 70), which are easy to kill without the bonus spell damage, and whose numerous deaths make plentiful incentive to swap in a Power Infused Mushroom.

Note that you don't need to activate the trinket before you cast the killing spell to get your mana bonus. Activating it as the mob dies also works.

Well actually with Drain Soul this is different, it has to die while you channel, however with Improved Drain Soul, (the mana bonus) it does have to be killed by you. As this talent is in the affliction tree it is common you'll be placing a few dots on them so I would expect they will die from of your DoTs anyway =).

Does it share a cooldown with https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=27416 ? If not, it would be very nice for paladin grinding.

Comment by Awlbiste

This trinket plus improved Drain Soul returns an average of 1940 mana at level 66, which makes levelling/grinding extremely efficient. I have this built into a Drain Soul macro to use it on every cooldown, it's amazing.

For shadow priests who use SW:D as a finishing move, a macro like this can help to make sure you maximise the use of this trink:

/use Oculus of the Hidden Eye;
/cast Shadow Word: Death;

Comment by 339106

Does anyone else find the name kind of strange?
Oculus is Latin for "eye"

Oculus of the Hidden Eye = Eye of the Hidden Eye

Much better:
Power Infused Mushroom

Drops in Auchenai crypts, 2 min cooldown, great for solo'ing :)

This trinket rocks! +33 spelldmg is quite imba if you ask me. And the 900 mana every 2 minutes is just really really cool, saves you some time when grinding solo, thanks to this trinket i can kill an extra mob before having to drink and regain mana. This baby replaced my Argent Dawn trinket.

Comment by Allakhazam

Ive been farming all day for this but didnt get lucky, couldnt realy care now i know its on use and on a cooldown, 900 mana isnt much once every 2 mins might as well farm dire maul west for the 11mana/5sec trinket, the +dmg/healing is also crapy.

Comment by Thottbot

So glad its experience and honor, 900 mana can do alot! 2 min cooldown ain't bad either.

Comment by Thottbot

i'm a lock and i've just got it! i think it's very good: 900 mana is pretty much! and the bonus of +33 spell damage it's quite interesting :)

Comment by Thottbot

Converts to 37.5 mana per 5 secs if you use it every 2 mins which is the cooldown. Probably about one extra mobs worth before you have to drink.

Comment by Thottbot

or 4 frostbolts extra forr the boss after killing an add :P

Comment by Thottbot

It says "The next opponent killed within 10 sec that yields experience or honor will restore 900 mana." What it fails to mention is you must perform the killing blow, ie useless for Holy priests. Tested this out 2-16-07. Still nice for grinding, but don't get excited for instance use.

Comment by Thottbot

If your level 70 does this still give mana when you kill a mob? since you dont technically get experience for kills when your at max level.

Comment by Thottbot

YOU NEED TO KILL IT

Comment by Thottbot

I think if you're in a group items like these should still proc.

Comment by Thottbot

i was kicked from a group the other day when this dropped, i am a mage and i need rolled it, i was kicked because we had a priest in the group and according to the group leader its better for priests and i am a ninja.. is he full of ^&*! or should i not have need rolled? because its better than my trinket

Comment by Thottbot

shadow priests, this works beautiful for you (good for other classes and they deserve it as much as we do), make a macro with /use oculus of the hidden eye and /cast shadoow word: death and you dont have to worry about it, as far as your concerned you'll just get 900 mana completely free while you out farming =), also good in dungeons where SW:D can get you that killing blow. combined with essence infused mushroom, vamp. touch, spirit tap, shadowfiend, meditation talent when im farming i only ever stop to drink / eat to renew my well fed buff.

Comment by Thottbot

i would like to correct myself, i meant power infused mushroom

Comment by Thottbot

I set up a macro so I don't forget to use my bonus trinkets

/use Vengence of the Illidari
/use Oculus of the Hidden Eye
/cast Frosbolt(rank 12)

This way as long as the cooldown is finished it will automatically use and then cast the spell.

The only annoying part of this is that if the cooldowns are not ready yet you get the annoying error messages but I have been doing this for a while and it starts to add up
