It's best mask up to 60, and you should chose this reward.

+ looks good

well i'm a rogue and i must admit its OK for it's level. once you get around 57, you should swap is what i think

Comment by Blacktalis

This Mask is good and obtained from the lvl 52 Rogue Quest, but also easily replaced. Most Rogues do end up getting this although Duskbat Drape (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=19982) is another reward you can choose from which is not so easily replaced, yet its also not so glamourous at 53 either >.<

One of the best PVP heads for a while...
Im a pure pvp rogue and i easily passed up something like Blooddrenched Mask for this...people think im crazy
Prolly best pvp mask before Foror's Eyepatch and up into raid stuff or either of the pvp sets...
This is much better than Eye of Rend IMO (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=12587#M0z) which is what most people seem to replace it with if they are in the pvp vein and want similar stats...1 less crit but 26 ap and 4 stam...

If you get the Ebon Mask at 50 and you don't do any old world instance runs, the mask will last you until you can get Veteran's Skullcap https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=29940 at 58. 8 levels use out of it isn't bad but is it better than an always on fall damage reducing cape?

Can druids get this mask? It reads like it is the reward for a rogue class quest, but this item shows up when I restrict results to "Usable by Druid".

Thanks.

got this lastnight, 56 NE rogue illidan server, the paper things from the ozzes in azshara was the hardest part, the group to temple was easy had 60 priest, a tip on getting the paper fragments from the ozze is YOU CAN PICKPOCKET THEM FOR THE FRAGMENTS, and than kill them for a possible 2 in one chance., sometimes i got 2 papers from one ozze by doing that, other times not, just lucky...Also the 2 headed dragons in the area, share the same spawn as the ooze's, so kill them mount away and come back, thier should be an ozze in the area. GL its worth it, stick with it..you wont be dissapointed.

You should definitely upgrade your helm of fire with the ebon mask. I miss my fireball too, it was a nice way to time between ticks for energy regneration, but the mask is clearly superior. I wear mine over my Shadowcraft Cap.

In response to bigbadfokker, you have the stats messed up. Here's what it should be:

Ebon Mask
- 11 sta (110 HP)
- 1% crit
- 36 AP
- 122 AC

Eye of Rend
- 7 sta (70 HP)
- 2% crit
- 13 str (13 AP)
- 143 AC

So with Ebon Mask, you get trade in 1% crit and 21 AC for 40 HP and 23 AP.
I'd take the Eye of Rend simply because of the extra crit... it really just depends on your playing style. 40 HP isn't worth much if you're going to be getting hit for 5 times that much but the extra 23 attack power is nice for alot of rogues.

Comment by Thottbot

when i hit lvl 50 my trainer gave me the starting quest that ends in recieving 1 of 3 items ... one being the ebon mask. i have to go to sunken temple and get key (the azure key)- quest then return it and i will get to choose the item i want. im going to get key today friends helping me out. cant wait to wear the mask. i am goin to keep my helm of fire tho like another said will need for MC for fire resist..

Comment by Thottbot

FYI folks- as of 1.9 the Timbermaw faction quest to kill a bunch of the Northern Deadwood tribe memebers does grant a reward similar to the ebon mask-

It's called Helm of the Pathfinder
117 Armor
+17 Stam
+1% Crit Chance

So you gain 60 HP, lose the 36 AP and 5 armor. I know AP rocks (got my complete devilsaur gear) but, considering how useful those boots are for PvP (bc the agi and stam is better than nightscape) I think the decision is easy. Besides why pass up a pvp item you can use for a very long time with a mask you'll replace with the SC cap or Ghostshroud?

Comment by Thottbot

this is the best headgear for a rogue at the moment regardless of dagger rogue or sword combat rogue, now here is why:
it has 36ap
1%crit
110hp
shadowcraft cap has:
33ap
0.69%crit
180hp
in case you need the hp shadowcraft could be a better choice, damage wise this cap owns them all. alternatives such as ghostshroud suck big time, since shadowcraft is better than ghostshroud. felhide cap is only useful cuz of fr.
rends head has 1%crit more at the cost of 40hp and 23ap, thus it is obvious that this cap is the best non epich headgear for a rogue

Comment by Thottbot

im still wondering on what to get too, but ive seen post saying they got Ebon mask and the next day they got ghostshroud = / and 1 stealth level is like 1 MoD rank, this is for great with maxed MoD cause ive had maxed MoD with nightscape boots that has the same effect and I was invisible. The boots would be great for sneaking in a mob tite instance

So its having a cool looking mask for a few levels

or sneaking boots you will be useing anytime you have to sneak into a instance

Comment by Thottbot

Great item overall, glad i picked it. Boots are pretty crappy in the long run as a few greens give you better stats. The back is a nice toy but nothing more realy, for a leveling rogue the head peice is the way to go. Great stats and looks great too, i replaced this at level 60 with the eye of rend. Great item for a leveling rogue but if you want an item that you might hand on to, grab the back as a fun MC jumping toy.

Comment by Thottbot

THESE ARE HUNTER ITEMS DEFO! LOL LOL

Comment by Thottbot

I have a problem here, in that I can't decide which quest piece to pick out. I have Helm of Fire, Seargeant's Cape and Albino Crocscale Boots. I can't decide which one to replace? The boot obviously suck, but is the Mask a better replacement or is the Cape?

Comment by Thottbot

If u ask me ebon mask isnt a good helm for too too long at 60 u can go out for out for ghostshroud, shadowcraft cap, Nightslayer, bloodfang anything. On my 60 rogue it only lasted till 55 when i got mask of the unforgiven. But Ebon Mask is an all around cool looking rogue helm =)

Comment by Thottbot

For all you people asking which to choose, I was reading over these forums for the exact same reason, and I have to admit that my conclusion is to choose the cape.

The reason being is that eventually you'll get something better than the headpiece, you'll get something better than the boots (and can always buy nightscape boots for when you need the +stealth), but there is NOTHING else in the game that adds to your feather fall.

You dont need to wear it all the time, but when you want to jump down a long ways in stealth (like in stealth instance runs), this will always be handy to have on hand.

Read the posts that are posted on the capes page, Im not the only one who feels that way.

So before you make your choice, just be sure to read the comments under EACH of the items.

Comment by Thottbot

well ebon mask is good for stam and its critchance but hekm of fire has its fire shot along with 18 agil i say if u wanna pay 20g for 18 agility go for HOF

Comment by Thottbot

The lycan helm is for feral druids..

Comment by Thottbot

hehe the human rogue above looks EXACTLY like my char, except that i need this head armour, it looks so cool, and good stats. ^^

Comment by Thottbot

I mean omg, how can this even be a disscussion? I chose the mask with my now 60 rogue and it is great, I regret selling it when I got my eye of rend. I mean the 36 attack power is great, it looks cool, 1% crit, some stamina, hay all its missing is some agillity. But really why do u need agillity? You need it for attack power, dodge and crit. This gives u crit, attack power, only thing it is missing is actually some dodge, but who cares? its a rogue mask, rogues are supposed to kill fast and be gone before getting any real damage inflicted on them. As I was reading the posts and one of the last ones said that the cape was better I just couldnt understand... IT SUCKS!
I mean who cares if u get a little more hurt when u fall I mean honestly... and the boots same thing as said earlyer, buy the nightscape from ah or get PvP/SC boots, not that hard.
And to those guys that said it was easy to get another head at level 60, I say (like ive already said a few times in this post :P): WHO CARES?
You can finish the chain of quests and get the mask at level 50, thats 10 levels, for most players its more than 60 hours playtime to level 60, I mean have u ever before had a head that long? PLUS when u get to 60 what should u change it too? Eye of Rend is not as good as this helm (which I figured out too late) SC head is matchable same thing with felhide and Ghostshroud but ofcoarse u cannot compare this to a tier 1 or 2 head.
If u do happen to find
Ghostshroud/Felhide/shadowcraft head in an instance, than u should need it anyway, but first u can look and see if ebon mask or one of the above is better before selling the ebon mask.

I am sorry for any spelling mistakes that may have occured under this post but I atleast hope that u understand what I wrote

Your sincerely: Spikehair

Comment by Thottbot

you dont need the boots.....just run mara and kill th croc......ALBINO CROC sCALE BOOTS FTW!

Comment by Thottbot

there's never been a moment (even in stealth runs) when i thought to myself "damn, i wish i took the duskbat to not hurt me when i fall." granted, i see it's usefulness, but i've never had a better item drop for me for damage dealing than the ebon mask...i still use this thing even though i have the bloodrenched mask as well...ebon mask's +36 atk power and +1 crit is really hard to pass up in a damage dealing situation.

yes, i'll be replacing it when i get my nightslayer cover, but i've had the mask for a REALLLY long time and it's been far more useful.

Comment by Thottbot

In EverQuest, the Dark Elf rogue guild was called the Ebon Mask. Go Go Oldschoolers.

Comment by Allakhazam

Whats better? Helm of Fire or this?

Comment by Allakhazam

yay! a black mask FTW! :D

sexy looking too x3

Comment by Allakhazam

Does this cover the head, or just the face?

ie: is it like a defias mask (badit-o mask), or is it like the fellhide cap (ninja style face and back of head is covered)?

The pic is a 'lil dark, so I cannot really tell from it.

Comment by Allakhazam

For the love of god dont kill the timbermaws or you will think the drop rate sucks, just pickpocket for the item.

I got it in around 3 picks as did the oher rogues i know. If your trying to get the drop from killing them your gonna need to kill hundreds

Comment by Allakhazam

I got this today the string of Qs werent that hard, i mean for what you get they arent hard. The hardest thing was getting a group together for ST. Its very nice by the way, one of the best rogue helms you can get, and its not that hard to get :D

Comment by Allakhazam

ive spent hours trying to get these quests done...horrible drop rates!

Comment by Allakhazam

Is this quest repeatable?

Comment by Allakhazam

Pwns Ghostshroud anyday- it's got like 0,4 more crit % and more AP, lil less dodge chance but who cares.

Comment by Defirion

(While this quest isn't live yet)

I'd like to point out for those looking at this item as a reward in the future that while a very good pre-raid item (perhaps even BiS) the other reward Duskbat Drape has a Unique effect seen no other item throughout Classic. Choose wisely

FOR ANY NIGHT ELF CONSIDERING THIS ITEM FOR ITS COSMETICS
In classic, this item removes your eyebrows if you're a night elf male, not sure about the other races or gender.
