Warglaive of Azzinoth.

My griffon in Vanguard before the raise of the level cap. It was a long and epic quest and one mob especially, Akande, took so many tries until we finally figured out how to kill it on a reliable basis. After we knew how to kill the mob we took each and every guild member through the quest. We were 4 people able to deal with it and helped the 5th ín the group to obtain the griffon as well.

So many tries, with the weirdest ideas as how to beat it. Akande spawned a dog as aid and keeping it under control proofed the hardest for the tank. And we tried the weirdest stuff to finally beat it. One class, necro, could summon meat so we even thought of summoning meat to distract the dog. This is how far fetched our ideas went because we couldn't figure out the strat for that mob...

I played a tank and couldn't help in groups where the 5th member was also a tank. Since not all of the tanks managed to obtain the griffon due to their lack of ability to keep Akande and its dog under control it made me even more proud that I was one of the few to be able to tank it.

For me it would be The Sun Eater, from World of Warcraft: http://www.wowhead.com/item=29362/the-sun-eater

It took me sooooo many mechanar runs to get it it's not even funny :-S

I've had loads of armor pieces that were worked for and that I was "proud" to have, but I still think the little extras mean more to me.

The Albino Drake (for having 100 mounts)

The pet skunk (for having 100 pets, if I remember correctly)

Those were 2 of my most favorite items.

In EQ2 I had rare furniture that I wouldn't have traded for a THING.  So my home was my "item" in EQ2, since it was loaded with rare items.

Same for me too!  Those were real quests!  Ohh the good old days....

Probably my Mechano-Hog, if not mainly because I sunk over 40,000g into it.

(About 20,000g for the profession of Engineering, and it didn't exactly help that I didn't have mining as a sub-profession, and another 20,000g for the actual Hog itself.)

So...many...dailies...ugh.

Rincewind's Luggage (well, that's what I called it anyway--it never called itself much of anything),  Just followed me around, carried my stuff, went away at logout and came running at login, snapped its lid at critturs and people.  Various crittur-like animations.

Close second was a refillable water cannon.  That was just good clean fun :)

Of course, neither has ever appeared in an MMO; both were uniquely-scripted auction props in GS4. You won't see many unique props with that 'massive' word in your title.

Playing a Monk in EverQuest, at the time the Cloak of Flames was the best haste item available, which dropped rarely from Lord Nagafen, the Dragon. It was my second attempt on Nagafen and I was with a small guild that had added other people on to create an adequate sized raid, me included, as I was unguilded at the time. Nagafen went down and the Cloak of Flames was one of the drops, the people there rolled /random 420 to see who would get the cloak and the highest roll was 418. People were congratulating that person when I asked if I was allowed to roll, as I wasn't a part of the guild that organized the raid. The answer was yes and I promptly /rolled and got a 419.

While I felt a bit bad for the guy who had been congratulated already, that Cloak lasted me all through the Kunark, Velious and Luclin expansions, and only after hitting the elemental planes in Planes of Power did I finally exchange it for a higher haste item.

That really was my most treasured item. It came as a surprise reward and lasted me for most of my life through EverQuest.

Winblade from EQ1

The dagger from Ragnaros in vanilla WoW. People (well other rogues tbh) would ask left and right how to get it or just would tell how awesome it was heh.

Meh, the good old days when server communities existed, when people talked in guilds and made bonds, when guilds were even needed to get stuff done before all the x-realm crap came and annihilated the server communities and devastated the need to be in a guild... MEH. This thread first brought nice memories but then just made me angry :(

That's all right, it reminded me of even older days, when player/gm direct interaction sill existed.

Great topic!

http://eq.magelo.com/item/7249 <- Blood Point from EQ1. My half-elf rogue caused so much trouble with this thing back in the day. Just cuz the heal proc could steal a lil' aggro.

Loved having such a unique item at the time. I know life siphon is a pretty common effect for items, skills, and spells in games now. But it was really cool have one pre-nerf and another after nerf and they both were a lil' different as well.

My elite king tusken rifle from SWG.
