World of Warcraft Gifts

Brain Hacker

There’s not a lot to say about this item really.

Brain Hacker is a two-handed axe with a damage proc that also lowers the Intellect of your target, making it a very effective weapon against spell casters.

The end of this massive axe is jagged and irregular, with a single jutting spike that resembles the metal end of an ice pick. The back end of the axe blade is covered in convoluted lumps of metal arranged so as to resemble a human cerebrum. The brain hacker is specially designed to slay arcane spell casters.

I picked this up in a Stratholme run on my rogue and won it on a greed roll as no one needed, not being able to use it I put it on the Auction House and made 250g that was a huge amount to me at the time.

I really liked the design so decided to make it a Warcraft Gift Pendant, also it celebrated my windfall on the AH

Someone told me that they thought the name Brain Hacker was a reference to The Matrix but I cant find anything to confirm that.

Welcome to the Warcraft Gift site by WOW Jewellery, this site has come about by combining the 2 passions of my life which are World of Warcraft and Jewellery. I have decided to expand what was initially an undertaking for personal pleasure into a small range of Warcraft Gifts that others hopefully will enjoy. I have played WOW continuously since its introduction into Europe in the early part of 2005, and I have worked in the Jewellery industry for over 23 years.

My first character to lvl60 was a Human Paladin and I was so excited to complete those last few levels, what a grind they were, those of you who can remember will testify to how long that used to take in the first World of Warcraft release. That’s when a friend said that as I worked in the Jewellery Industry I should have something made up to commemorate the occasion, so that’s what I did, I had my first Warcraft Gift made. The piece I chose was the Alliance Crest as the Warcraft Lore behind it fitted in with my Human Paladin. This was the start of my range of Warcraft Gifts.

In other posts on this site I will show each Warcraft Gift I have had made along the way and detail more of the process involved and the Warcraft Lore surrounding each of these Warcraft Gifts. My intention is to develop a complete set of World of Warcraft Racial Crests and significant game Items as Warcraft Gifts, so everyone who plays WoW will be able to purchase a Warcraft Gift that is relevant to them.

Orc Crest - Icon Of Battle

After having written this blog it has re-ignited my passion for Wow Jewellery and the Warcraft Lore behind the designs so I have decided that I will post a complete set of all the WOW Racial Crests, with the intention that I will have designs for all of them sketched and made up into items for Warcraft Gifts in the future.

The obvious next one for me to do is the “Old Enemy” the Orcs.
The Orcs were born on the world of Draenor, they came to Azeroth through the Dark Portal and started the First World of Warcraft War against the humans while under the influence of the Burning Legion.

The Orcs were once a noble, shamanistic society on Draenor but were corrupted by the Burning Legion and used as pawns in the Legion’s invasion of Azeroth. The Orcs managed to rebel, however, and they were ultimately, during the Third World of Warcraft War, able to help turn the tide against their Demon masters. Led by the Warchief Thrall, the Orcs have reclaimed their strength and honour and have settled in Kalimdor where they have founded the nation of Durotar.

The concept of honour is the most important element of Orcish society for an Orc, honour is as important as his Clan, and most will die defending either Clan or personal reputation. Orcs now have embraced a life of wisdom, honour and the values embodied in the leadership of Thrall.

Now, the Orcs stand ready to fight not for the sake of conquest, but for their very right of survival in their new adopted world.

The Orcs racial crest is The Icon of Battle. The wolves represent the Frostwolf Clan, as well as the Orcs‘ kinship with wolves, and the crossed axes symbolize their skill in battle. The Symbol of the Horde at the centre of the shield represents the Orcs in the Horde Racial Crest.
