Not every fun WoW item comes from a raid boss, a vault slot, or some over-engineered weekly system. Sometimes it comes from a random trash mob that half the raid is trying to sprint past without looking back.
That is the case in Voidspire, where a skippable Void Terror named Blinky can drop Blinky’s Collar, a shirt item that comes with its own permanent buff while worn. The odd little discovery was highlighted in this Icy Veins report on Blinky’s Collar, and it is exactly the kind of niche raid find WoW players love once word gets out.
Where Blinky Is Hiding in Voidspire
According to that report, Blinky patrols the upper floor of the Devouring Stronghold after Imperator Averzian dies. That is the important part, because plenty of groups are apparently routing through the lower floor instead and never touching him at all. So this is not some elaborate hidden-secret puzzle. It is just a case of players skipping optional trash and accidentally missing one of the stranger item drops in the current raid pool.

Why Blinky’s Collar Is Actually Interesting
The shirt is not being hyped because it looks incredible. In fact, the point is almost the opposite. As the Icy Veins item write-up explains, Blinky’s Collar is notable because it grants a permanent buff while worn, not because it is some massive visual flex. It can also reportedly drop on all raid difficulties, which makes it a fun collectible instead of one more thing locked behind Mythic-only misery.
That is what makes this kind of drop work. It is weird, unnecessary, easy to miss, and somehow more charming because of it. WoW has always been better when it leaves room for these oddball little finds instead of turning every item into a spreadsheet argument. That last sentence is commentary, but the item’s effect and drop setup are grounded in the reporting around Blinky.
It Is Also a Nice Old-School WoW Callback
The smarter detail here is that this is not just random nonsense for the sake of nonsense. The same reporting ties Blinky’s Collar back to Precious’s Ribbon from Icecrown Citadel, making it a small nostalgia nod instead of a completely disconnected joke item. That gives the drop a bit more personality, especially for longtime players who remember WoW when raids were full of small, strange rewards that were not always attached to the biggest boss in the room.
And honestly, that is part of why this is worth covering on Master of Warcraft’s WoW coverage. Boss kills get all the attention. Tier sets get guides. Hotfixes get headlines. Meanwhile, one optional patrol mob is quietly holding one of the more memorable little loot stories in the current raid tier.
The Actual Takeaway
If your group is farming Voidspire, the takeaway is simple: do not automatically skip Blinky. He is optional, but if you care about odd collectibles, novelty items, or just grabbing the kind of loot most players will not realize exists until later, he is worth the detour.
There is something very WoW about the fact that one of Voidspire’s funniest discoveries is not a boss weapon or a prestige mount, but a weird shirt from a patrol mob most raids were never planning to kill in the first place. And honestly, that is a pretty good reason to stop and smack him.
