Yes I am one of those people that buys everything they see in infomercials. So as a result I also fell into a scam in Lower City. There is a troll NPC named Griftah that sells various neck amulets that claim special properties.
Being that I am a Mage I was intrigued by the “Polished Pendant of Edible Energy”. The description reads: “Focusing one’s metabolism, this pendant allows the wearer to draw great energy from ordinary food and drink – even heal wounds!”
So I purchased the item and proceed to configure Itemrack to equip it anytime I eat or drink conjured food in hopes to regen my HP/Mana quicker. Well guess what, it doesn’t work!! I tested my mana regen rate BEFORE and AFTER equipping it and both times I remained at 346 mana every 2 sec.
*deep sigh* I guess I’m a fool for falling for this scam, but I’m really surprised and disappointed that Blizzard actually has NPCs in the game selling things that don’t work - especially when it costs 25g! Now I’m off to test the “Compassion Critter’s Friend” with my riding gear, although I highly doubt it will work either which puts me out another 20g.
***Consider this a strong warning to anyone else thinking about purchasing these items, and shame on you Blizzard***
