The Last Gasp curse in the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) expansion is a powerful spell that can be cast by Death Knights. This curse allows the Death Knight to unleash a devastating attack upon their enemies in their final moments of life. When a Death Knight is defeated in combat, they have the ability to cast the Last Gasp curse before dying. This curse causes a massive explosion of dark energy, damaging and potentially killing nearby enemies. The power of this curse is amplified by the Death Knight's own strength and the number of enemies in close proximity. The Last Gasp curse symbolizes the Death Knight's dedication to darkness and destruction.

The Last Gasp curse symbolizes the Death Knight's dedication to darkness and destruction. It is a last, desperate attempt to take down as many enemies as possible before succumbing to death.

SilverDragon
SilverDragon tracks rares. It will try everything possible to notice them and tell you about them.
## How does it search?
Those little skull icons you see on the minimap. If one of them is a rare SilverDragon knows about, it'll yell at you.
If you mouse over or target a rare mob, SilverDragon will notice it.
This is the also how SilverDragon learns about *new* rares in the wild. After you first mouse over or target one, it'll remember it, and start watching for it in the cache in the future.
If you have enemy nameplates turned on, SilverDragon will keep an eye on them to look for the names of known rares. This is the least exact method, because nameplates don't expose the underlying mob's id, so we have to rely on a plain name comparison.
Addons that modify nameplates may interfere with this.
SilverDragon can also create a macro to target any rares that are known in the current zone. You can stick this on your actionbars as a button to spam while chasing after a rare. This is sort of a last resort.
## How will I know when a rare is seen?
When a rare appears, SilverDragon will pop up a frame that you can click on to target it.
Warning: If you're in combat, secure action restrictions mean that it won't show up until combat finishes.
You can choose from assorted sounds to play when a rare is seen. The sound can loop for a while, to make sure you don't miss it.
There's special settings for rares that drop mounts and world boss rares which you might want to call up a group for. If you're sitting mostly-AFK on a Time-Lost Proto Drake spawn, you probably want the sound that plays to be utterly ridiculous and go on for a good long while, to make *sure* you don't miss that sucker.
A notice can be sent to a number of places:
* your scrolling combat text
* your chat frame
* a channel in your chat frame (announcing it to your party, for instance)
* a popup window
* etc
## Other useful things?
In SilverDragon's options you'll find a "Mobs" section. In the "Always" section, you can add any mob you want to be scanned for. All you need to know is the mob id.
So, let's say you wanted to keep an eye out for Lil Timmy in Stormwind, to buy the kitten he sells. You would.
1. Go to his [wowhead page](http://www.wowhead.com/npc=8666/lil-timmy).
1. Grab his id from the URL. It's `8666`.
1. Enter `8666` into the "add" field, and click "okay".
1. Play with your new kitten.
If there's some mob you don't want to hear about for whatever reason, just go to the "Ignore" section of the options. Again, enter the mob's id into the "add" box, then click okay. Bam! You will never again be told that Vern is up.
(Actually, Vern is ignored by default. But you get the idea.)
SilverDragon will talk to itself. It can communicate with other copies of itself run by people in your party / guild, and tell you when they see a rare mob. (If there's a group of you camping all the Time-Lost Proto Drake spawns, say. )
You can turn this off completely, if you want to be private about it.
Some rares are part of an achievement. When you mouse over a rare mob, SilverDragon will add to the tooltip whether you've already killed it, so you know whether you need to rush for it.
SilverDragon includes a Broker plugin. It'll attach itself to your minimap, or a Broker container you have installed, and show you a list of the mobs it knows about in the current zone.
## Other addons you may find useful
* [ServerRestartSound](http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/serverrestartsound): plays a sound when the server's about to restart. If you're AFK-camping for a rare spawn, you probably want to know about this.
* [HandyNotes](http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/handynotes): integrates with SilverDragon to show icons on zone maps where a rare has been seen.
* [_NPCScan.Overlay](http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/npcscan-overlay): shows rare mob paths for some rares, and can be told to pop up if SilverDragon sees something.
* [ChocolateBar](http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/chocolatebar): a broker display. SilverDragon's minimap icon will show up on it (or any other addon like it) instead of cluttering up your minimap, if you have it installed.
## Why should I use this instead of _NPCScan?
_NPCScan is all about scanning the cache. If a mob winds up already in your cache, it'll do nothing at all to help you. SilverDragon tries to fall back on more things, to give you the best chance of finding rares.
If you want to run across rares while leveling, SilverDragon helps with that. _NPCScan is solely a max-level tool.
Ultimately it's a matter of personal preference. :-P
## What's new with version 3?
Most of the addon has been rewritten so that its internals are entirely based on mob ids and zone ids, neither of which were available to the client back when 2.0 was written back in early 2009. This was also a great opportunity to stop having to lug so much localization code around.
- Updated for 10.1.5 and then 10.1.7
- Fixed error in classic_era (Vanilla)
- Fixed some errors causing permission errors in combat (10.1.5 protected SetPassThroughButtons)

In the lore of WotLK, the Last Gasp curse is closely associated with the Lich King, the main antagonist of the expansion. The Lich King, also known as Arthas Menethil, was once a noble Paladin who fell to darkness and became the powerful ruler of the undead Scourge. Death Knights, as the Lich King's champions, possess the ability to tap into his dark magic and unleash devastating spells such as the Last Gasp curse. Overall, the Last Gasp curse in WotLK is a fearsome ability wielded by Death Knights. It serves as a last-ditch effort for the Death Knight to wreak havoc upon their enemies before meeting their own demise. This curse embodies the darkness and destructive power of the Death Knight class in World of Warcraft..
