What does Ruby Whelp Shell's use do?

It says it inspects the target and teaches them how to be helpful but like what does that do

I tried it on some random “boss-ish” mob (one of those 500K health elites), and it didn’t do anything. It didn’t even say “Sorry, can’t help you.”

Just, as far as I can tell, “nothing happened”.

“And only a 1 day cooldown! Such a deal!”

I’m guessing this is something for the “secret” hunters. They’re madly trying it on every raid boss, dungeon mob, and critter in the wild for it to chime in with something.

“If you stand on your left foot while skinning this beast, a NEW MOUNT(!!11!!) drops!”

Apparently it modifies what spells the dragon casts.

If you’re targeting an enemy, it will cast DPS spells.

If you’re targeting an ally it will cast a healing spell.

If you’re targeting yourself it will cast another ability

Basically it ‘trains’ the summoned whelpling to be more helpful. For me once I day I’d use it while I was fighting and by the time it was fully ‘trained’ it’s damage spell was doing a lot more damage when it was summoned.

it’ll be funny if it’s something profoundly simplistic like plaguefall solo mount that they went insane trying to figure out then some chad that likes soloing dungeons tells them they were doing it wrong.

It just sets the passive effect of the trinket based off what you target, it’s not somthing you actively use all the time in combat

I tried it for about five days, got something better from another quest, replaced it and moved on. Don’t worry about it. It’s a throwaway item.

Same case here.

If you use it while DPSing, it will do damage for the next 24 hours when it procs. If you use it while healing, it will throw out a heal for the next 24 hours when it procs. I don’t know what it does for tanking, or even if it does anything for tanking.

You use it once a day to make the whelp permanently stronger.
