One of the cooler vanity items you can get in Wrath of the Lich King (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/wrath-of-the-lich-king/) is the Iron Boot Flask (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43499), which turns you into an Iron Dwarf (http://www.wowwiki.com/Iron_dwarf) for 10 minutes every hour. Currently it only costs 10 Relics of Ulduar (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42780) (an item that has a chance to drop off of anything in Storm Peaks), but that's going to change in patch 3.0.8 (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/patch-3.0.8). The Reilcs themselves are losing their current Soulbound status, but the Boot Flask will cost a jarring 250 Relics of Ulduar.
That price makes a whole lot of sense for an item like this, to be honest. Similar items, the Orb of the Sin'dorei (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=35275) and the Orb of Deception (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1973) are both pretty rare. It's unusual that this one was so cheap, but it's probably a side effect of the item originally only having one charge in earlier incarnations of the item. Nowadays it has infinite uses but with a cooldown, so that higher price is deserved. You still have a chance to get it before the price change, and I really recommend you do. Especially when you consider the other change coming to the Relics and the Sons of Hodir (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/02/wrath-101-the-sons-of-hodir/).Continue reading Relics of Ulduar and Iron Boot Flask changed in patch 3.0.8 (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/15/relics-of-ulduar-and-iron-boot-flask-changed-in-patch-3-0-8/)
