Q u o t e:
Lemme guess - drop rate is gonna be similar to Onyxia mount? To get people to run the instances endlessly just hoping for it to drop?

I hate random loot... I just can't say it enough. HATE.



Its an epic quest chain

Q u o t e:


Somewhere in the middle, this comes from 5-player dungeons so it won't be as gargantuan as the shifting sands or as material heavy as the Hand of Ragnaros, but it will still require running a few instances and some dedication just to start it.



world first achievement imo!

Am I correct in thinking this is probably to fill the gap in itemization left by the emblem system, currently with emblems (and even more-so in 3.3) you can fill every slot with items from last tier and some items of equal ilevel to the current tier except for your weapon.

And this will more than likely yield a level 245 (maybe even 258) weapon as a result of a long and detailed questline. Equivalent to what you could obtain in this tier but below ICC tier. Many players will be running the heroics anyway for the emblems and this questline will give them a weapon to work towards in addition to the armor they can get with emblems.

Sound about right?

This is very very exciting Blizz, this is what the game has been lacking since vanilla, adding more of these type quest and also adding class specific epic quests back in the game will keep more people playing IMO
GJ looking forward to it

Also, taking this weapon into her encounter in ICC should cause her to enrage at the sight of it and wipe the raid. Either that or break down and give out loot without a fight, either way is fine with me.

I like the concept of an epic quest chain for a good weapon outside of raiding at max level. It adds a very thrilling dimension to end-game WoW experience.

gated or grindy?

IE will the dedicated be able to get this in a day? or will it require time?

Please make it something that takes time (tons of reagent costs, instances to farm, quests to complete), but not gated.

Q u o t e:
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.

From this quote:
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.


Do you want a weapon, or a little ball of clay to mold? Jesus Christ. BoA? Really?

Your post makes no sense and is irrelevant. Why do you even post at all?

MJ's still alive. And he's going on tour with Elvis and Tupac. Three generations of musical icons back from the dead. The name of the tour/album will be "The Decomposed Composition of Decomposition".

This is the way I'm seeing this:

- Epic questline that gives an Epic Weapon (i232 or i245, not sure which one).

- At the end, Quel'Delar is reforged. This point splits into two:
>>The QD has an option to change its stats from 1H DPS, 1H Tank and 1H Caster (3/4 healers don't use spellswords). Whether it's visiting a guy or a click option I'm not sure.
>>If the class has no use for a 1H sword, the quest rewarder says something like "well you can't use it, but take this as thanks for the help". Alternate rewards are 1H Mace (healer, caster DPS, melee DPS) and 2H Pole (all classes that have a use specifically for a 2H can use Poles. Also removes racial bonuses from this. AGI and STR variations). All the weapons function the same way as the QD, just with a different model/skin.

What type of play styles will this fit, by any chance?



We will post details on the stats before the patch launches, but you'll have to wait for now - sorry, this is the only answer available at the moment.

You're the one asking for a BoA Legendary.

Bornakk has already talked about the questline and if your really are watching the PTR you'd see that there already is an achievement in place for it.

You're other questions are either inane or presumptuous, asking Blizzard to reveal the entirety of the questline and rewards when the teaser (which was just released today) clearly states that that's all the info we get now and more will come when they are ready. Edit - Which is what Bornakk emphasized as I was typing this.
