How Handy! A Glove Issue

Well f*ck me gently with a chainsaw. I thought the Gauntlets of the Ancient Shadowmoon were gunna rest upon my hands till forever and day. I picked them up day before yesterday in a SWP trash farming run and absolutely flipped. Their really good! I was totally ecstatic, got them gemmed and enchanted minutes after the run was over. But being satisfied with -mail- would just be too easy for Blizz. A pair of mages in the guild have gotten the cloth gloves, the Sunfire Handwraps, and after looking... yeah, I want the cloth. Too bad the stupid things need 10 spellcloth, 10 shadowcloth, and of course, 6 sun motes. Which currently run 1500 gold plus on our server. Or an attempt at winning them in a trash run. Guh! But yes, it look like after work today, I'll be farming primals. 20 fire, 10 shadow, and 10 mana... bumming, buying, and whoring for cooldowns. Then the motes. This is gunna be fun. Buth honestly, worth it.

Ding ding! Round 1!
