Boots of Avoidance was my first drop, in Tanaris, around level 45. I was doing that chicken robot escort quest along with 2 other people, and neither of them could wear plate.
Crazily enough, I saw 4 in Vanilla. Two were in dungeons, two were actual world drops while grinding. I didn't care much for questing in Vanilla, I had just come from EQ so grinding mobs was just what I did to level. I got 3 characters to 60 and numerous to 30-50, most characters only did quests for good gear or class quests.
The first was the Dazzling Longsword, dropped from a raptor in STV while I was grinding 39-40 on my main, after not being able to sell it after a week I ended up moving it to the opposite faction and sold it. The second was a Blackskull Shield, from Maraudon, while I was leveling my friends shaman. I lucked out and won the roll. The next was Edgemaster's Handguards, dropped while grinding skeletons in WPL on my rogue. I priced them based on another pair in the AH and they sold pretty quickly, but about a year ago while dabbling on private servers I learned that those things are pretty much BiS for warriors for a long time, probably could have gotten a lot more than I did. The final one was Boots of Avoidance in a ZF run, which also had both of the swords drop that form into an epic sword. A warrior won the roll for boots, and was the only one able to use the swords so he got them as well.
This subsequently used up all my luck for years to come, as I have only seen one other BoE world epic since then, and that was 6 months ago, a Super Simian Sphere!
Gutripper dagger off a whelp in the badlands on my hunter. Didn't know what BOE meant so I put it on and lost out on AH $250 gold when I really needed. it. O well. Reminds me of how much I used to love this game.
For my first 60 I got the superfast epic bow Hurricane during leveling in Felwood. I almost equipped it but a guildie hunter really wanted it. That saved me from getting one embarassing moment.
Then I remember getting Stockade Pauldrons from grinding in Winterspring while waiting for queue pop for AV (as Horde back then, queue times were veeeery long atleast on server I played on (Haumarush EU)). Suddenly the grind towards epic mount was getting very close.
Nope. I couldn't have, because then I would've actually been able to afford epic riding before BC released. I explicitly remember not being able to afford it until Nagrand, where I wasn't used to the higher speed and ran right off the bridges.
Yes, I don't even remember what it was though. Something from just outside BRD, I think. My only clear memory was auctioning it for 500g and getting my epic mount.
Yes. Destiny (2h sword) was my BoE epic, although I'm not actually the one who picked it up. A friend of mine picked it up and gave it to me. Pretty nice for a warrior that was right at the required level to use it.
It wasn't spectacular as far as epics go, but the +200 strength proc was great. I actually changed to arms sword spec for a while because of that weapon.
