Eye of the Black Prince - now buyable

[Neyzio]

You can find it along with the Sha gems at your local VP vendor.

[Coldpro]

Legit, about time they put that in if its true.

[sewid]

is it 10k?

[Vereesa]

Seems about right.

How much does it actually cost, though?

[sewid]

According to comments on wowhead, its 2.5k. Oh and because they're vendor items now, discounts apply.

2.25k for the socket and 9k for the gem.

I'm assuming you need to have completed the quests first, right?

that would be a good assumption.

Doesn't appear to be live on EU servers yet, probably needs the server restart.

6 legendaries but only 17k gold. Trade you 50k for your twin blades

Heads up if you're a DW class you can use the eye on both weapons and use two gems.

The pain and anguish it took to get those cannot be valued by mere gold.

They oughta lower the price of the gems, it's just way too punishing to get an upgrade right now.

Put the price even more up I say. Legendary stuff should be something you can buy from a vendor in the first place.

[TheWindWalker]

So, just to confirm, all the eye does is allow you to put a typical +160ps/+320ss/(+80 and +160) gem in, right? So, essentially less than half as good as the 5.0 reward.

[Harsesis]

This was not a major patch in terms of progression. Why would they make a step that makes the weapon as good as next tier stuff before the next tier?

[Tehstool]

Nice to know, thanks!!

Yeah but the first is free. So yay, merry christmas for getting a bonus normal socket after grinding vp cap for six weeks!

So was the +500 main stat gem and it took approximately a month to get. (Unless you had bad drop luck then it would take even longer than six weeks.) I mean, yay another gem slot, but it's like getting a ham sandwich as a reward after the same amount of work that last netted you a steak.
