Proc chance: 10%. (Just click through the second Equip: effect.)

Comparison note: this item is 10% chance on hit.
Sextant of Unstable Currents is 20% chance on *crit*.

Comment by frmorrison

This item is from the badge vendor, so anyone can pick it up.

Sextent can proc on heals, this trinket does not.

This trinket has a 45 second cooldown on procs, with a 15% chance to proc outside of the cooldown.

Insanely nice trinket, and most obviously one of the best pre-raid trinkets in the game.

Comment by Neryssa

Just something I've noticed today: Although the Sundial's proc appears to stack with on-use trinkets, you'll only receive the bonus spellpower from the proc with the biggest bonus.

So, on boss fights I've been waiting for the Sundial proc to use any on-use spellpower trinkets after the proc wears off.

Just like to add, it procs when i am tailoring, all that extra spell power comes in handy trying to get rid of any creases in the fabric.

hmm......
i have this trinket + http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28418 and they proced on same time and in the resould i crited Starfire for like 13k while i ussualy do max 9k dmg...
so i think the SP stacks..

Comment by Larsen1337

Parasha, Littlefran said that it did not stack with on-use effects. The nexus horn is a proc, not a use effect,

Comment by Kakistos153

well doesn't matter anyways. the proc does stack with other on use trinkets, a few times i've noticed a lot of buffs blinking away on my buff section. this trinket + bloodfury racial + USE:http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44013. so i natuarally checked my character pane to see what my stats were like with these buffs up. i had 3k spell power. so pretty conclusively yes it does stack with on use trinket buffs. not sure about proc trinkets though.

Comment by 206277

Does anyone know if this stack with http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37660 ? if it does would be really awesome lol

Comment by Zarasz

Thats very strange. When I got both trinkets 2 days ago, I had them once active at the same time but my char screen didnt show both, only 1. Today I had both active and both buffs did count.

Comment by 268293

This trinket DOES stack with other proc trinkets as well as on use trinkets. For example the and this one have both procced for me at the same time meaning they have independent internal cooldowns and giving me +1102 spell damage that i saw on my character sheet.

Comment by 275379

Through a test of 500 hits(using ice lance so there is absolutely no other spell hitting the target) with 747.47 seconds of combat i measured exactly 10.5% proc chance from this trinket

Comment by 171525

CONFIRMED: This trinket proc stacks with other trinket procs, such as Forge Ember.

Had 1102 bonus spell power for about 5 seconds. =P

Comment by scampor

As a mage I hate the randomness of this trinket. Really looking forward to an upgrade hex head, or even the dragon soul.

Comment by 35058

check this: http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/december/9355newtrinkets.jpg

mmm, i would like that with my sundial of the exiled :D

Comment by 275917

Does anyone know if this trinket procs on a DoT effect. Like Corruption or Siphon Life? And if it does, only when you cast the spell or also when it deals damage?

Comment by 284625

Hmmm...i was thinking if i should get this trinket, right now i have a sorcerer´s alchemist stone for lvl70 and a mercurial alch stone, is it a good idea to replace the sorcerer one with this trinket? dropping the 63 spell damage for the crit + proc?>_< help please xD

I´m a warlock, 0/41/30 spec btw >_>.

Comment by 286110

Does it proc on pladin Consecration ?

Comment by 250654

Sounds like it procs off all non dot spells. I'm not sure how extensively you have tested this I would have assumed it would only proc of casting dots rather than when they deal damage but it seems odd that it wouldn't work at all. I may try and test this myself.
I'm pretty sure this procs when casting curse of elements and corruption, tested in instance.

Comment by 224699

The name of the proc really reminds me of the warden in WC3

Comment by 48128

It can proc off any harmfull spell that includes dots but no dot ticks (so no procs of heals, or spells suchs as lifetap, evocation etc....)
As the tooltip clearly says; it can increase spelldmg from casting a harmfull spell, it does NOT say that the harmfull spell needs to hit, unlike some other trinkets do, so even if your spell gets resisted it might still proc.

The buff is called; 'Now is the time'
Now is the time to do some serious damage!

Comment by kindlin

I tested this trinket + Flow of Knowledge from the wintergrasp vendor and they don't share an internal CD but when one procs over the other it just refreshes the last ones duration. Now I wish I had Dying Curse to test because that is an entirely different proc, where as this is the exact same proc, name, everything.

Comment by 294416

if i get 2 of these, would they work together? since people are saying 2 proc trinkets have worked

Comment by 65759

I noticed a coment from beta saying there's a 45 secs cooldown to the proc, is it stilll in place as of live?

Comment by danroe

Something nobody has asked...

WHO is "The Exiled"? Sargeras? Kael'Thas? Medivh?

Comment by jesy

so is this the best badge trinket for a mage at this point? worth spending the emblems on?

Comment by 296835

Also procs rom Spellsteal, Counterspell and Polymorph.

Polymorph - harmful spell? o_O

Comment by 307515

The proc does at least stack with the effect of Mark of the War Prisoner.

Both buffs appear and combined spellpower appears on the Char sheet. Altso the dmg of my spells reflect that they do indeed stack.

I have normaly 1800ish spellpower. Highest Ive seen with both the trinkets and some other buffs is 3000ish, followed by two concecutive 8800 shadowbolt crits.

Comment by 283222

Does not stack with Flow of Knowledge.

Comment by benendobreadhead

Think it's worth replacing Jet'ze Bell with this?

Comment by 35553

So a huge disappointment for mages - this trinket will not proc on Blizzard or Flamestrike AOE spells. It will proc on Arcane Explosion. This is a huge drawback for all the aoe'ers in Lich King heroics and raids, and I was really disappointed to find it out in testing. It has undeniable crit value, but just fair warning to those who read "damaging spells" to mean "all damaging spells" as this isn't truly the case... *sigh*.

Imagine if this wasn't Unique....

Comment by 306243

Is this viable for an enhance shaman, since a lot of shaman dual-spec enhance/ele? Especially with the sp->ap conversion, it seems not bad as a dual purpose trink. Just wondering, so let me know! :D

Comment by 322517

this badboy proc's off of any spell by my experience. I am a warlock, so I don't have any direct healing spells. I have had it proc off of creating a bandage, creating bolts of cloth, creating engineering items, fel armor, detect invisibility, as well as dots and direct damage spells. It does not proc off dot ticks, only initial casting of the spell.

Comment by 176981

I'd just like to point out that this does NOT stack with Flow of Knowledge because they have the same bonus, it does how every stack with anything with lower or higher bonus.... though I haven't seen anything implemented with more bonus spellpower than this one.

Another thing people get mixed up is, I have both Flow of Knowledge and Sundial of the Exiled and while the Flow of Knowledge is procced by ANY spellcast (including buffs such as Fel Armor, Arcane Intellect etc....) this one is not. Polymorph is indeed a harmful spell seing as it affects your target negatively, doesn't have to do damage to harm...

Comment by 262652

of the 4 emblem of heroism trinkets this is 4 ranged DPS

see below:

Melee DPS http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40684
Ranged DPS http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40682
Tanking http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40683
Healers http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40685

each of these trinkets cost 40 emblems of heroism

Comment by 301876

Ran some target dummy tests on my 80 Affliction Warlock. On the target dummies, the trinket procced on the following:

Unstable Affliction
Curse of Agony
Corruption
Siphon Life
Shadowbolt
Drain Soul
Drain Life
Seed of Corruption
Curse of Elements (!)
Curse of Tongues (again !, I stopped testing curses after this, it looks like they all proc)

It procced on cast, not on DOT ticks. Also, I had my imp Firebolt a dummy for 2 minutes - no proc, so pet spells don't count.

I didn't have the patience to test Haunt, nor the shards to test Shadowburn, but it's safe to assume that both of these will proc it. I also didn't test any fire spells, but again, they're a pretty safe bet.

Didn't proc off of Fel or Demon Armor. It also didn't proc from wand damage. In case you were wondering.

Comment by 68079

Protip for all you mages out there:

Use counterspell whenever it is off cooldown, and you know you don't need it for counterspelling purposes, or even better, make a macro:

/cast counterspell
/cast <spell>

Why? Less downtime on the trinket! Assuming you have reasonable mana regeneration of course, this is an extra chunk of dps. :P

Comment by 136376

Might it stack with Embrace of the Spider? That would be very nice and it seems like it would.

Edit: Tested, They in fact do NOT share an internal CD and can proc at the same time.

Awesomesauce.

Comment by 344924

Would it be worth it for me to equip two of these for the crit bonus, even though the proc won't stack?
Or should I get one and wait for Embrace of the Spider from Maexxna?

Edit: second question

Comment by Wenduri

As a Warlock (Destro) gearing up right now, I personally saw a direct increase of 200 DPS from this trinket alone. Exact same group make-up, all same items and buffs, same spell rotation, was workin on Patchwerk and had to repair so I hearthed and grabbed this while I was gone. Came back and DPS went up a solid 200+

One of my favorite trinkets I've encountered so far. Cheers.

Comment by 159426

So does this proc off Penance or no?

If it does, this is a lot better than the badge egg imo.

Comment by billag

does the spellpower buff stack with http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44912

Comment by 258919

Fun fact:

Add this proc to the spellstealable Aura of Arcane Haste (max 1 minute though) from Mage Hunter Ascendants for a total increase of 1090 spell power, plus 50% haste.

A very good trinket to have, every mage should try and get this before they start 25 mans and EoE10.

Comment by ddcorkum

Deleted by author: Trapreturns is correct. I demonstrated the median was under 7 casts, but the mean is in fact 10.

Comment by Mydge

I like the "stacking with" comments, as its helpful as to what trinkets to pick to wear. No point in having the two if they keep cancelling each other out and what not.

I used Serrah's Star and Sundial of the Exiled and they both can trigger at the same time.

Have to say, after playing on the Testing Dummy, I am very glad to have had bought this :)

Comment by 366611

Stacks with Abyssal Rune, they're nearly the same, except 1 has crit and 1 has haste.

Different cooldowns, and can stack as i said, giving you 1180 bonus sp if both procc :)

Comment by Trapreturns

This trinket will proc off non-healing spells of all sorts. It is not an unreasonable trinket for discipline priest healers, as it will proc off pw: shield.

Comment by 301421

So... during Nefarian's Priest call, could this proc?

Comment by 216030

Procs off of Sacred Shield, and of course Holy Shock when used aggressively.

Wasn't working on Judgments for some reason (probably because they are more ranged attacks than spells). Meteorite Whetstone works on Judgments however, if you have it laying around and don't have this trinket yet.

Comment by 258919

Worth every last badge, quite possibly one of the best mage trinkets in the game so far.

As if the pretty frequent proc of massive proportions isn't enough for you, it comes equipped with a large amount of crit rating.

Any mage, and most casters, should get this trinket as soon as they can.

Comment by 345719

Hi,

Was wondering which would be the best between this and Talisman of resurgence?

Comment by 523901

I wanted to CONFIRM that Sundial of the Exile and Abyssal Rune procs do indeed stack, and can proc at the same time. Granted, Abyssal is a 25% rate and the Sundial is a 10% proc.

There seems to be a bit of misinformation out there currently. This information is applicable to WoW 3.3. Any updates to WoW will have to be retested for their accuracy.

I tested this simply by spamming a level 1 shadow bolt at a random mob until one would proc. If I could not get the other to proc as well within the 10 second window of the buff I would wait another minute to ensure any internal cooldown was reset. I would then repeat the process until, success, both proced at the same time, my spelldamage went up 1180, and I was one happy warlock who kept my newly purchased Sundial of the Exile.

I haven't gotten it to happen yet, but I look forward to these both procing and throwing up my Curse of Doom.

Comment by 139162

I just tested the chance of this trinket's proc by "renting" it from the WG vendor. Just a few things said in this thread that need clarification:

1) It is indeed a 10% chance.

2) This does not mean that you will average 10 casts outside the ICD before you will see it proc. Several people in this thread have said this with confidence. I can understand how a high-school understanding of math could lead to this shorthand conclusion, but it's wrong. In short, each cast has the same amount of chance to proc the effect, so you can't take an arithmetic average of those. It would always equal the median between the cast that actually did the proc in your test.

You have to take the average of the entire distribution of the chance that the trinket will NOT have proced by the Nth cast. Since there's always the same chance on the next cast that this trinket is not going to proc, this means there's some chance for a long series of no procs, and you will never get to 100% even with an infinite number of casts. Therefore, the calculation requires an integral. And sparing you the written math, this calculation works out to be about 7.78 average casts between procs. This may be why this trinket is procing more often than expected. It's the expectations that are wrong, not the proc.

3) I may have just won the nerd of the year award by using calculus in WoW.

Comment by executable

I read about it stacking with other trinkets , but does it stack with trinkets that have the same buff?
Such as Flow of Knowledge?
Thanks in advance.

Comment by 555037

procs of Life tap aswell..

Comment by 589700

Might it be a refference to Gandalf saying "Now is the time!" in 1st book of "Lord of the Rings"?

It is said in chapter "The Bridge of Khazad-Dum" when Gandalf is hastening the fellowship to flee, when they were flying from the orcs in Moria?
