Robble's Wobbly Staff — Transmog Set Guide
Overview

Robble's Wobbly Staff is a grey-quality two-handed staff that hails from the Cataclysm expansion. It is a plain wooden shaft with a crude tip, a typical "junk" item that players used to sell to vendors without a second glance. It has no combat value: 5–8 damage, 3.60 attack speed, requires level 28.
The appearance is what makes it interesting. Since patch 10.0.5, grey- and white-quality items bind on equip and save their look in the wardrobe — meaning even such an unremarkable staff can now be collected as a transmog. The model is tidy, neutral, with no glow or effects, so it suits the looks of simple wanderers, nature-themed druids and low-level mages.
The second reason to hunt for the staff is a pet. Robble's Wobbly Staff is one of the three items that Keeper Ta'hult in Oribos accepts in exchange for the battle pet
Ruby Baubleworm.
Source
Robble's Wobbly Staff is a world drop added in Cataclysm. It has no single guaranteed source: the item drops randomly from a wide variety of creatures of the appropriate level all over the world. One frequently mentioned source is the Lesser Gargoyle.
Key points for obtaining the appearance:
- The item binds on equip, so it can be bought from other players at the auction house.
- To unlock the appearance, the staff must be equipped at least once — after that the look stays in the wardrobe forever.
- The character's level does not matter: at the current level 90 of Midnight, any old-world zone can be cleared with ease.
- The most reliable method is searching the auction house: grey items are cheap, while farming the random drop takes longer.
Visual fit
- Suits the looks of simple wanderers and hermits — neutral wood with no metal or magical glow.
- Harmonizes with cloth sets in earthy and brown tones, without bright accents.
- Fits "nature"-themed druids and shamans, where a bulky weapon clashes with the image.
- Contrasts with heavy plate sets — a debatable but deliberately humble combination.
Tips
Check the auction house first: grey items usually cost mere coppers and save hours of farming.
If you farm by hand, hit ordinary mobs of the appropriate level — the world drop is not tied to any specific dungeon.
Equip the staff right after buying it to lock the appearance into the wardrobe before the item is used up.
If you are also collecting the Ruby Baubleworm pet, do not sell off the staff — it will be needed by Keeper Ta'hult in Oribos.
To buy the pet, keep all three grey items at once: the staff, the Gear with Ground Teeth and the Greater Unlucky Stone.
The appearance unlocks account-wide, so there is no need to collect it again on other characters.

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
