Worth it for the resists, but ouch! no hp! No way is this the best caster mask outside the high-end. Crystal spiders eyes is probably a better choice for normal exp groups unless you're really hurting for int.
Just as a matter of observation. yur prolly gonna see ALOT of int casters wearing this thing. For the stats (which are freakin amazing as far as im concerned) this is the absolute BEST mask an int caster can obtain without 1. A large Raid into high end zones like NTOV or 2. a High level quest requiring A large Raid into high end zones like NTOV. Plus being a high end player Id like to point out the not so obvious. In the High end game resists are a necesity sv dis 25 is incredible considering thas one of the hardest resists to raise and sv mg 15 is Really sweet considering you arent gonna find too many items from one group mobs with more then 10 sv mg, at any level. As far as mana is concerned, yeh i could get more mana from different masks, but id rather give up the whole 20 or 30 mana id get and replace it with resists i otherwise wouldnt have at all. besides there are plenty of items in other slots that will give you +mana..and the less items you have going for +int the more +mana items you can squeeze in. for example, you can have this item +15 int and a staff of the four +25 int (yes im a wizard) and say a netter kelp tunic or a jumpy robe...right there is 50 int on only 3 items. Pre-Kunark my entire wardrobe had to be +int to break 200. I gues what im saying is by using items like this with really high +int you could reach you cap sooner with less items and have more slots open for plus mana.
very nice, considering 1 solid group can do it 55+.... would take several tries, and alot of experimenting but once u find a way to pull, hes easy to drop... CoH would probly be worth a try... send in a DA'd char and CoH him after HTs are gone... does harmony work on these things??
First of all, there was one that is 15int/wis effect: See invis that is droppable and drops off Vox. Second of all I was in NToV the other day, and picked up a mask that was 10int 55 mana 15 ac, and 10disease/poison resist. At my level I need that extra 55 mana rather then the 5 int. There is a lot better out there then this, although I do agree that is a very nice mask.
Consider what you're saying. A Vox drop, and an nToV drop. Now consider that this is dropped in ME off of a not all that uncommon mob that 1) doesn't take an entire raid party to kill (thus lowering your chances of getting one), and 2) that doesn't require at last a semi-uber guild to obtain.

I beleive I was first on the 7th Hammer to get such an item, guildwebpage for Nightwatcher is around somehwere. Since it's been almost a week since I won it and it appeared here recently.
Dropped off Xi Thall, level 60 4 armed bastich in Maiden's Eye.
From Dawnshroud Zone, head straight out invis, you'll come to a wall/structure. Run around it, keeping it on your left. You'll round it and meet the Zone Wall, keeping it on your left, you'll come across a lake if you follow the zone wall. There is a house with 2 floor, and it's open topped. Xi Thall spawns in the back room. You can see him/it from the zone wall if you are lev'd and high on it. Good luck pulling him with no adds, house is full of Xi Thingees.
Thanks to my guild, Nightwatcher, and thanks to Styl the Warlock, of Kabald. I can't spell your name right now, almost 7AM and I'm drunk.

Gah, note that i play a wizard and more or less write off anything that drops in TOV as being virtually nonexistant when i state that this is the best :)
