So I have been going straight farm on AV for about 17 hours, with a few breaks. Get exalted to find out the ONLY reason I’m doing it as a mage, Don Rodrigo’s Band, is not available. I am confused because a few PVP items that weren’t out until later parts of the game are available on the PVP vendors… This ring is literally the only reason I did this for so long basically non stop. I’ve seen on WoWHead that the reason is likely because it has spell pen, but there is already gear with spell pen from MC, so that doesn’t make much sense. Anyone have any idea why most PVP gear is out earlier but not this one ring??? Feels like a huge waste of time now and it feels like Blizzard could have said something about it ahead of time… Unless it was unintentional, then by all means, add it in ASAP. Otherwise, I would love to know why this ring was excluded from the exceptions. (P.S. sorry for the rant, I’m just a bit mad lol)
I very much would like to know the answer to this as well.
Are you exalted (assuming you are since you’re trying to buy the ring)? If you aren’t they said you can only see what’s on the rep vendor once you reach the appropriate rep. If it’s missing probably means it will be around in a later stage of the game (thanks Kagedorf)
Also, I’m really REALLY surprised we don’t read more about gamers throwing bloodclots and keeling over.
The BG’s were released early, some of the BG rewards have not.
/thread.
This is phase 5 item.
Phase 2 was released early and rank 14 gear from later phases got released 
Odd inconsistency that could use an explanation
dude. love yourself.
You want a reason why blizzard has been incredibly inconsistent and arbitrary with almost every decision made so far for classic?
Good luck with that.
Can someone please verify which items are currently available at Exalted?
hahahaha true
I’ll find the source in a bit, but it was stated that don rodrigo’s wasn’t going to be in till phase 5.
everything except rodrigo’s
Wow this is so messed up.
“Hey kids wanna go to Disneyland tomorrow?”
“Yaaaaaay”
The next day…
“Sorry kids were not going because things”
RIGHT?! What a let down tbh
Good reason for you to come back at that point. When they release it, you’ll have access to it immediately!
This is true, but by phase 5 i won’t really need it XD
I would like to see that source as well because this feels very odd since they made exceptions for rank 14 gear that came later. Making it available now.
Rekt.
Maybe take a break for a while? You could take a shower and get some sleep. 
So from what I can see is that they add loot over time based on when it was added…
That ring was added later meaning it’s gotta wait.
You mentioned the 1.11 version of the R10 / R14 gear.
This is because they are using the 1.12 itemization, but the drop locations and time period for the original items.
So as a result you have X version of an item dropping from time period A instead of Time period X.
Well I started right when I woke up, after I showered
