Season of Discovery was a massive hit among WoW players due to its unique take on the game. SoD introduces various new features that have been widely popular throughout Azeroth. Aside from the integration of skill runes, gamers have gained access to tons of new and improved items. These upgrades can be obtained via raiding and crafting. The Invoker’s Cord and Mantle are two of the most coveted in the game due to the vast bonuses it provides to users. This guide will give the players steps to obtain these best-in-slot items.
What is the Invoker’s Cord and Invoker’s Mantle
The Invoker’s Cord and Mantle are currently some of the best items available in World of Warcraft – Seasons of Discovery. They are craftable items that most classes can equip. These things are also general in the Auction House, so players can profit from selling them. Here are the unique stats that these items provide:
Invoker’s Cord
- Item Level 30
- Required Level to be Worn: Level 25
- Price: 8 Silver 64 Copper
- 24 Armor
- +5 Intellect
- Durability: 25
- Gain +7 increase in damage and healing from magical spells and effects when worn.
Invoker’s Mantle
- Item Level 30
- Required Level to be Worn: Level 25
- Price: 13 Silver 71 Copper
- 32 Armor
- +5 Intellect
- Durability: 45
- Gain +7 increase in damage and healing from magical spells and effects when worn.
They significantly boost damage dealing and healing of all spell-casting classes, essential in PvE and PvP events. These items are considered good pre-Raid gear, if not the current BiS for spellcasters. The cord and mantle are readily available in the Auction House, but players should consider crafting them instead because their market price will be highly inflated.
How to Craft the Invoker’s Cord and Mantle
Players need several things to craft these two items. The most important are the recipes, which they can acquire by buying them from certain NPCs. Each faction has merchants that sell these patterns to ensure these items are accessible to all players. Here is where you can buy the recipes for both the Invoker’s Cord and Mantle:
- Elynna (Alliance) - Darnassus [64.6, 21.6]
- Borya (Horde) - Ogrimmar [63.0, 51.2]
The recipes are relatively cheap. However, players must be at least level 150 in Tailoring to ensure they can buy them from the vendors. After getting the recipes, champions must collect all the necessary materials for both. Harvesting the ingredients can feel tedious, but it is much more affordable than buying these items for inflated prices in the market. Here are all the required materials for the Invoker’s Cord and Invoker’s Mantle:
Invoker’s Cord
- Bol of Silk Cloth x3
- Shadow gem x1
- Fine Thread x1
- Gray Dye x1
Invoker’s Mantle
- Bolt of Silk Cloth x4
- Gray Dye x4
- Fine Thread x1
- Blue Dye x4
These components are easy to find, and only the Shadowgem is rare. You can engage in various activities with these ingredients. Here are the different methods to help players collect the necessary materials for the Invoker’s Cord and Invoker’s Mantle:
- Slaying and looting Monsters
- Fishing in Durotar, Undercity, Stormwind, and Stonetalon Mountains
- Mining Ore Veins (Silver, Copper, and Tin)
After collecting all these materials, you can finally craft the two items at any workbench for Tailoring. Both Invoker’s Cord and Invoker’s Mantle are considered pre-raid equipment, so you don’t need to start doing raids just to get them. If you plan to join Blackfathom Deep groups, you should consider equipping these gear to ensure a higher success rate.
Tips
- If you don’t want to gather these materials, you can always buy them from the Auction House. However, these items may be more expensive due to their high demand. If the cost of a material skyrockets, gamers can wait for the AH to be flooded with this particular item until the price goes down.
- If you harvest the ingredients, consider gathering more than you need. You can sell the excess supply to the AH to gain extra profit.
