These thick leather boots are lined with metal plates on the front, back, and on the soles. The underside of each sole contains two small jets, and when activated the device jets emit powerful blasts of fire, propelling an individual forward and increasing his running speed. Goblin rocket boots require an experimental substance called goblin rocket fuel. The boots have been known to malfunction and explode injuring the wearer and creatures around him.{{Cite|WoWRPG|215}}

=Notes=
 
−
During [[patch 2.3.2]] the boots were hotfixed to require an [[Engineering]] skill of 225 to use, though it does not appear in the patch notes. The boots do indeed explode, and on average, after only two or three goes. The explosion does no actual damage, but does knock you down, and leaves you with ruined boots, although some components can be recovered from the wreckage.
 
   
  +
Task to complete:
−
While working, the boots add +70% to your run speed, which stacks with [[Swiftness Potion]]s and the Rogue [[Sprint]] ability.

== Details ==
−
In general, a cost prohibitive way to escape from trouble, and the [[Gnomish Rocket Boots]] are generally considered a better choice as despite being slightly slower and requiring Engineering skill to wear, they don't get destroyed when they malfunction.
 
  +
Azaloth can be found south side of the Black Temple. He's currently being held banished by several Sunfury blood elves. Players will need to kill Sunfury Warlocks or Summoners (not necessarily the ones holding Azaloth) until one drops a [[Scroll of Demonic Unbanishing]]. Use the scroll on the demon to release him. You do not need to defeat Azaloth, but he will attack you.
   
  +
When released, he will go on a minor rampage and kill the warlocks that were holding him, until eventually {{Mob|Alandien}} comes over and kills him.

However, there are theories that the Goblin boot explosion can be avoided if the speed effect is cancelled before the 20 second span is reached in full. [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14648]

Do not be fooled by their name, <name>, their power will be used against us as often as against any demon.

Their warlocks summon and subdue demons to be used as part of the initiates' training. A pit lord named Azaloth has proven too strong to be used in training and is kept banished. Find a way to let him loose on his captors. That should buy us the time we need.

Malfunction Effects:
 
−
*Rocket Boots explode, knocking down the user and placing [[Scorched Rocket Boots]] in the user’s inventory, which can be [[loot]]ed for [[component]]s. Contained inside will be: [[Black Mageweave Boots]] and [[Heavy Leather]] in addition to either [[Fused Wiring]] or [[Mithril Tube]].
 
   
  +
== Completion ==
−
Notes: Transforms [[Black Mageweave Boots]] (41 [[Armor]], +7 [[Intellect]] and +11 [[Spirit]]) into Goblin Rocket Boots (41 [[Armor]] and [[Use]] effect) which function identically to [[Gnomish Rocket Boots]]. If other increased movement speed or invisibility [[item]]s ([[Nifty Stopwatch]] and [[Gnomish Cloaking Device]]) are [[equip]]ped when Rocket Boots are [[use]]d, a 5 minute [[cooldown]] timer will trigger preventing consecutive [[use]]. However, [[potion]]s and [[class]] [[ability|abilities]] ([[Swiftness Potion]] and [[Rogue]] [[Sprint]]) do not share this timer and may be [[use]]d consecutively.
 
  +
Let us hope that distraction bought us the time we need to fully learn what we need of the training grounds at Karabor.

Details

Azaloth can be found south side of the Black Temple. He's currently being held banished by several Sunfury blood elves. Players will need to kill Sunfury Warlocks or Summoners (not necessarily the ones holding Azaloth) until one drops a Inv scroll 01 [Scroll of Demonic Unbanishing].

The weapons are authentic, as we feared. Illidan is training demon hunters at the Ruins of Karabor and we must put an end to it.

Do not be fooled by their name, <name>, their power will be used against us as often as against any demon.

Their warlocks summon and subdue demons to be used as part of the initiates' training. A pit lord named Azaloth has proven too strong to be used in training and is kept banished. Find a way to let him loose on his captors. That should buy us the time we need.
