Change the Blood of Life descrption
Right now, a fairly common source of newbie confusion is the Blood of Life's description, which states that it will save your life, but doesn't state that it only does this if you drink it. This is a question I see very frequently on chat, sometimes right after they die with a Blood of Life in their inventory because they assumed they had to hang on to it like a talisman.
I think the description should be changed to make some mention of drinking it (something like something about how those that drink of this will be saved, though I leave the exact phrasing up to your judgement). That would help clear up the confusion.

Here's a suggested new description for it:
This vial of blood was drawn from an ancient race in the Age of Haze. Some of the power and vitality of those early days of the world still flows through it. "Drink me, mortal," the red liquid seems to whisper in your thoughts. "I will bring you light beyond darkness. Those who taste my essence fear not the death of flesh. Drink me, mortal, if you value your life..."

Wouldn't someone else have drunk it by now if it whispers at people?

The "why has no one else drunk it" thing makes no sense regardless ;)

Most people are too smart to just chug down a bottle of blood lying on the floor, no matter how politely it asks them too.HousePet wrote:Wouldn't someone else have drunk it by now if it whispers at people?

If a bottle whispers at me I know I've drank enough.

It seems pretty obvious to me what it does:
The on use description:
The on use description:
The lore description:It can be used to quaff the Blood of Life to grant an extra life.
To be more clear, the on use description could be changed to:The Blood of Life! It can let a living being resurrect in case of an untimely demise. But only once!
It can be used to permanently infuse the imbiber with additional life energies that will reverse one death.

It seems pretty obvious to you, yeah, but have you seen how often newbies ask about this item on chat?

Grey's new text has already been implemented in SVN.
Re: Change the Blood of Life descrption
But newbies always ask silly things on the chat.
They are scared to try anything themselves.

On a related issue can we have it not automatically go into the transmog chest (like the sandworm heart) to avoid some unfortunate mishaps.
