Under the effect of G.N.E.R.D.S.

Source

G.N.E.R.D.S. are one of the random drops from [Handful of Treats] during the Hallow's End event. A Handful of Treats can be obtained by looting the Candy Buckets during the associated quest or in a  [Crudely Wrapped Gift] after freeing a town from the Shade of the Horseman.

G.N.E.R.D.S. are also sold by  Dorothy and  Chub for 2 .

The cosmetic effect is of a light bulb hovering above the player's head. This effect has a duration of five minutes and does not stack.

Inspiration

Inspired by the Nerds candy. As with many things, the Gnomes added a G to the beginning of the word!

Achievement

The  G.N.E.R.D. Rage achievement requires a character to "Earn 10 honorable kills while under the influence of the G.N.E.R.D. buff. It's a slap in the face!". These are cumulative; they do not have to be from the same PvP event nor from a single instance of the buff.

Notes

Pre-Cataclysm

• The effect of this item (dodge buff) stacked 4 times and had a duration of 30 minutes.

Patch changes

• Patch 4.2.2 (30-August-2011): Dodge buff removed; cosmetic buff added.
