With WoW: Shadowlands, one of the most famous warriors receives his own item. You will likely see this item often in the auction house.
Admit it: secretly, every long-time WoW player wishes to be immortalized in some way in Azeroth. However, only a few players will receive this honor. In the upcoming expansion Shadowlands, player DesMephisto will join the ranks of those players who have their own item in the game named after them. He has earned it through years of community work.
What kind of item is it? The gloves, which are called [Desm’s Fistos] in English, are designed for plate wearers and have an item level of 158. They bind on equip, which suggests they are a random drop that players can find throughout the Shadowlands. The gloves are suitable for warriors (like DesMephisto is), as well as death knights and paladins.
You will probably encounter the gloves more often in the auction house. An eternal tribute to one of the well-known warrior players.
What has DesMephisto done? DesMephisto is likely known to many players by now. He is the somewhat “crazy” player who loves leveling warriors and has brought around 50 to max level. He aimed to level a male and a female warrior for each race. Also, he has collected all plate templates in the game.
Many probably know him from his speed leveling guides, which have brought him further fame in recent years. He currently holds a record for reaching level 50 in under 4 hours.
The gloves also refer to this, as they grant the two secondary attributes “Mastery” and “Haste.” DesMephisto, with an army of warriors, is a true master in this field (Mastery) and the record holder in speed leveling (Haste). The fact that the combined secondary values of the gloves sum up to 69 elicits a satisfied “Nice” from everyone.

Furthermore, DesMephisto is also known for charitable actions. He has raised money through his streams multiple times to support organizations that assist people with mental health issues or research these problems.
DesMephisto is generally considered a very positive member of the community, who often pushes himself to his limits to achieve goals.
DesMephisto is extremely happy: When DesMephisto discovered his own item, he was overjoyed and started a thread in the WoW Subreddit about it. There, congratulations poured in, and the post has now received over 11,000 upvotes. The majority of players are happy for DesMephisto and believe he has truly earned this honor.
What do you think of such small tributes in World of Warcraft? A cool idea and nice gesture? Or should such things not belong in the game?
