What ilvl would this new weapon be?

Edit: Also wanted to say that I love the idea of an epic quest that all classes can participate in and get a reward from the end. I remember wishing there was an equivalent to the hunter and priest epic weapon quests. Very excited!

im going to do anything for this weapon lol.

Exciting, nice they are adding an option for non-sword wielders as well.

Interesting.

yea i like that this weapon is really going to stretch to every class in some way or another

i have to say gj blizz

sept now its guna be even harder to get

Does it come in a 2h DPS version?


Who am I kidding, I want one.

I got a strong feeling its forged through the 3 5 man heroics introduced in patch 3.3, so most likely Quel'Delar or the items you can turn it in for will be the item lvl of those heroic dungeons.

More Blood Elf lore :D

On the ptr you can buy the quest item from glyph vendors but we can't complete the quest yet until HoR is up. But when this goes live, will it be drop from one of the new 5-mans? And if so, will it only drop from Bosses? And will it have a chance to drop on normal difficulty or just heroic?

Now about the blade itself. Will there be 2h versions of this weapon and it counterparts? Like a polearm or mace for druids or hunters or an Axe/sword for DKs and ret palies? And once we get the weapon, will we be able to exchange it anytime like if we change specs from tanking to dps or healing? Also, is there any chance it will be BoA but with a level requirement? Or maybe level scale but have superior stats compared to the regular Hierlooms? The current BoA gear is like Blue quality when compared to gear of the same level as the character wearing it. If this is boa it could be epic quality compared to other gear at that level.

Q u o t e:
If they succeed, the heroes can embark on an epic adventure to re-forge Quel'Delar. They will require the strongest materials and a source of great power to make this shattered blade into the fearsome weapon it once was.

---

This is sounding like a Thunderfury-esque questline. Will this weapon be a legendary or or high ilevel epic? And will there be an achievement for completing the quest chain and obtaining the weapon?

Sorry for the long post. I hope a blue can answer most of my questions.

Wait a minute, isnt that the Sword of a Thousand Truths? ;)

Nah it's the sword of 666 lies. >:-)

This is so exciting! I have the original Quel'Serrar on my paladin (not the new one yet, banked her for this priest so she hasn't even *seen* Onyxia). I was so excited to read about this and glad blizzard released more info on it. Very, very cool, Bornakk.

I smell a new tanking sword. (and a new healing sword, a new dps sword....)

And an IC raid boss!

Looking at the last part of the article... it seems yes it does.

Q u o t e:
In ages past the great Dragon Aspects worked alongside the night elves to forge powerful prismatic blades that could be used to thwart any evil that came into the world. One of these weapons, Quel'Serrar, was recently unearthed. Another will soon be found...

In the upcoming content patch the sister blade, Quel'Delar, will be obtainable by players. If you want to know more, take a glimpse into this weapon's tragic past and where the quest to re-forge it will begin.

If this is sounding what it sounds like, this could, quite possibly, be one of the greatest additions to WoW in this entire expansion. Lore quests flat out don't happen enough, and if this really is as broad sweeping as it sounds, and is worth it for everyone to try and do, it's really exciting.

And it's from an epic quest line!

This is awesome on so many levels that i'm kinda surprised we're getting it :D

Interesting, indeed!
