Too bad you miss great piece of interesting lore if you don't have that sword... Although it makes you feel very special if you have it. I wish there was more such weapons in WoW.

Remember to unequip this before you go to Light's Hope, it makes you temporarily Hated with Argent Dawn.

This drops from the Four Horsemen in Naxxramas. This sword isn't that great especially because of the -25 stamina. However, it begins a quest that should take you to Outland where you can get the purified version which is a great sword that is legendary. It has a cool story to it and is an enjoyable quest to undertake. Especially when you go into Scarlet Monastery and everyone bows down to you if you have it equipped. Make sure you go to the cathedral instance and talk to Mograine =).

very much dissapoints me that this can only be used by two handers... there is no such other weapon like htis and the only reason id want it is cause several of my freinds just walk past the mobs in scarlet monastary and when they get to the boss pull out better weapons... why can they do this for a 1 hander? and if there already is a 1 hander plz tell.

The sound files, which actually sent a chill up my spine. Genuinely creepy stuff. The voice is Morgraine's, with Kel'thuzad underneath it.

What's said:

1. I was pure once.
2. Fought for righteousness.
3. I was called Ashbringer.
4. Betrayed by my order.
5. Destroyed by Kel'Thuzad.
6. Suffer pain to serve.
7. My son watched me die.
8. Crusades fed his rage.
9. Truth is unknown to him.
10. Scarlet Crusade is pure no longer.
11. Balnazzar's crusade corrupted my son.
12. Kill them all!

For cleansing the blade, you need to remake it.. Fairbanks said that the old was too corrupted, so we had to find his 2. son and make a new..

The first was crafted from a evil crystal from a orc warlock, that came from Dreanor..
The only place I can think of is back in Illidans Black Temple.. Since he has taken use from corrupted fell orcs, I guess a VERY low droprate, maybe close to same droprate as Bindings or Eye of Sulf, just from some special mobs...

When you got that tainted crystal from fel orcs that original came from Dreanor, just like the the one the first Ashbringer was made of, then it will start a quest..where you will have to gather a lot of mats.. Maybe some sort of Black Temple mats.. Very sure that a lot of Primal Nether.. and a big load of Holy things..

The tainted crystal can maybe only be seen or taken from those who have the sword..

"Once the sword is acquired, equipping it will curse the owner, turning the Argent Dawn faction to Hated (temporarily). However, visiting the Scarlet Monastery with the sword equipped yields interesting results! All the NPCs in the Cathedral instance will turn and bow before the person who has the sword. After you reach the Cathedral and talk to Scarlet Commander Mograine, the ghost of Highlord Mograine, the Ashbringer, enters and speaks with his son.

"Renault..."

"Father... But... How?"

"Did you think that your betrayal would be forgotten? Lost in the carefully planned cover up of my death? Blood of my blood, the blade felt your cruelty long after my heart had stopped beating. And in death, I knew what you had done. But now, the chains of Kel'Thuzad hold me no more. I come to serve justice. I AM ASHBRINGER."

"Forgive me, father! Please... "

<The Ashbringer smites his trecherous son with a blast of light.>

"You are forgiven..." "

This was taken from ashbringer.com in the Lore section of the ashbringer...
From what i have read this sword will have almost nothing to do with recieving the ashbringer as if you posses this sword and talk to Fairbanks he clearly states that "The sword is beyond clensing" so the only thing this will have to do with the ashbringer is that you will have to have CA to obtain Ashbringer

Kommentar von IceBox

I'm currently looking for a "Ashbringer Set" just for the rp-effect. Already got the Scarlet Chain set and a nice helm. Now I'm looking for some cool shoulders like the Imperial Plate Shoulders (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=12428) but in red.
Anyone knows where to get some?

Kommentar von 66037

Ok this is the part were i'm confused

On wowmodelview, I looked up Ashbringer, it had 4 items.

Ashbringer, Cleansed Ashbringer, Corrupted Ashbringer and The Cleansed Ashbringer.

Ashbringer looked sorta holy-ish, smaller, and instead of the skull on corrupted it had a light glowing ball thing.
Corrupted looks better imo

If you type the sound effect out in chat can other party memmbers hear it?

Kommentar von 60672

(In Reply to Mariachei) No, i have typed the sound files while playing and none of the members in my party could hear it.

(In a semi-related matter) Will you have to get reattuned to naxxramas once it is remade? If so will it be with a new faction or still with Argent Dawn? (Kind of like the Cenerion Expedition faction with Burning Crusade)

Kommentar von 103887

Does anyone know if when WotLK comes out and Naxx moves will there be 2 Naxxs EPL and Northrend Naxx or just the Northrend one?

If it's just the one I guess that all previous loot from Naxx will be unobtainable after the E2 and therefore anyone who wishes to get this (for loregasm's sake) will have to get it before WotLK. (therefore will also have to try and convince guild to do some Deathknight wing runs to get it.

I have the Sword, i always play with WoW-Sounds and i did a LOT of PvP back in the 60ies + even Leveling with it, believe me, it never ever spoke on Life Servers. And you know what?

Check this Allakhazam link (sorry to wowhead, but you're up to date): http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=22691;source=live
This are the old stats the sword had, before anyone had it. Linked from PTR. The LIFE-STATS can be seen above (lifeleech, Hit Rating, no more Call of the Ashbringer).

Kommentar von shinnyneko

I read all the posts about going into, obviously, Scarlet Monestary with this equipt, and it make me wonder.. What about Strat Live? There's Scarlet Crusade in there too, infact -the- Grand Crusader himself (really a demon, but thats a whole 'nother lore story) resides there. Or even non-instance places like Hearthglen and Tyr's Hand. There's even SC at Light's Hope Chapel that talk about the Ashbringer, though I'm not sure how safe it would be to go there while being hated with AD. ;>.> Just curious how those areas would play out. Something new to ponder.

Nothing happens in either Stratholme, I've taken the blade in just about everywhere. Only SM.

how many pple lvl 70 with tier 4 gear would be needed to do this

Kommentar von 112924

my take about the dowrated guy is simple.
Naxx will move to northrend while another CItadel,
ruled by another lich will remain to look after the scourge's job on
plaguelands.
As allways blizz will just rename some things around.
Like Kazzak, he moved in outlands and another lieutenat got his spot...

Kommentar von Quantum

Whether and there is a quest on clarification of this sword? From Corrupted in sacred. I simply heard that there is a special quest...

Kommentar von 125904

As stated, t makes you temporarily hated with the argent dawn.. im wondering if you can go to argent dawn unarmed and be friendly with the crusade and them..

and i did not know they had a rep bar and turned green or something.

PS: do the guys still attack other members of your party after theyve seen you? or do they just go friendly?

Kommentar von 136440

Does anyone else feel it should be classified as an artifact or legendary item not necessarily because of power, but because of significance? Not that it matters, hardly no one does Naxx anymore.

Kommentar von 147558

I have recently begun delving into the lore of WoW and searching for weapons with lore behind them. Are there other weapons in WoW with this much lore behind them?
Thanks!

Kommentar von regression

there is no living side in Scolomance so i guess u mean Stratholme, but if u read a post just a few inches up someone has tested taking it through all o Strat and other places and nothing happens except in the Scarlet Monestary.

And regarding other weapons with lots of lore behind them, do not forget Atiesh, gretstaff of the guardian. Medivh's old staff and before him his mothers (aegwynn).
only real event thing i can think of about atiesh besides transporting party members to kara is that when engaging Shade of Aran in Karazhan he does some emotes like "where did u get that? did HE send you?!" referring to his son Medivh ofc. But he only does that if someone has the atiesh staff equipped during the start of the battle.

Kommentar von 157308

If Naxx was to be moved to Northrend and the lvl 60 version was destroyed in the process would it be possible to aquire the sword pre WOTLK and have it already at lvl 80 once blizz reitemizes the items from Naxx to scale with the new lvls

There are rumors that when Naxx moves to Northrend, the level 60 Corrupted Ashbringer will still be a drop from the reworked Four Horsemen event. Probably a very low drop rate, but I think Blizz wants to keep the content alive for the ability to get the legendary weapon.

In Tales of the past III they say that if you kill the old Ashbringer with the sword, the killer becomes the next ashbringer. Pretty sweet, huh?

The Ashbringer...

Kommentar von 123609

The level 60 version of the sword won't be a likely drop. I would be hella *!@#ed if I was running the new and improved Naxx and got a weapon with a level 60 req and a 90 DPS. Consider the fact that Naxx is likely to be a pretty high end raid. It probably won't be the second highest, but it will be pretty up there. Kel'Thuzad is a powerful opponent, and Lieutenant of the Lich King. Current Tier 6 weapons have between a 139 and 149 DPS. Corrupted Ashbringer was a VERY nice weapon back in the day. In fact, it had the second highest 2h weapon DPS in game, only beaten by Might of Menethil, which had a 95.3 DPS. Now consider that for a second. A 53 DPS boost from the best 2h weapon in game Pre-BC to the best in BC. If this keeps up, level 80 instances will be looking at around 200 DPS. Having an item drop on a low droprate, with 110 DPS less than the other 2h weapons dropping, simply for the memories attached for only a small number of players? No, there's going to be a Corrupted Ashbringer, as well as a likely quest line to get your new, fancy Ashrbinger Reborn (or whatever they call it), but it won't be the level 60 version. It's gonna be a nearly 200 DPS monster of a weapon.

Im curious if you would be able to get this sword after WOTLK has launched, now that Naxx is gonna fly away... if not, im gonna be sad :( When it dropped another guildmate got it over me, i really really want it!

Kommentar von Thottbot

yes guys it's confirmd by the Guild Risen.
You don't need to kill Morograin last.
it's just a random drop :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Im a 60 hunter myself (horde) and i can see why some hunters would like this for its 2% crit. But lets be seriuose hunters, if ur running NAXX there has been a whole load of better hunter wepons that has droped over your raiding carear, all the ways starting from ZG.

So if ur honestly thinking about getting this, then u better be in a group that no one else wanted it and ur going to be willing to dish out the DKP for just its looks because if ur going to take this from a warrior or pally, then ur a selfish noob, with absolute no thought of progressing ur guild with better gear.

Kommentar von Thottbot

KK Imma 60 Human Warrior...I ouldnt mind having this as my main weapon...but it doesnt mean I will deny all Pallies in the raid the chance to have this. Pallies and Warriors in my perspective both have equal rights for this weap. Just because a pally can heal doens't mean he should be reduced to Healing. And just because a warrior can tank doesn't mean he should be reduced to tanking. DPS DPS DPS is always possible for any class. So Pally<Warrior or Warrior<Pally is just not true. GL All U Pally haters.

Kommentar von Thottbot

While this weapon clearly belongs to Paladins by reason of lore, I would not begrudge it to a Warrior who had sufficient DKP to purchase it. However, it is clearly not a tanking weapon, due to two small facts: 1) it's got a -25 Stamina penalty, and 2) it's a freaking two hander!

However, let's be honest. The true, legendary version of this sword won't become available until the expansion, and all classes are being given revamped roles. Retribution Paladins will be valuable in PvE for their ability to increase the damage of their party/raid, and if you're going to have the token Retnoob (just like the token Oomkin), you might as well give them the chance to get some decent gear for the job. A Paladin in full Avenger wielding this baby would dish out some very sweet damage, if not necessarily as much as an Arms or Fury Warrior in Conqueror/Annihilation.

The distribution of Legendary items should not be based on dice rolls (or even necessarily DKP), but on who has contributed the most to a guild's success and will make the most beneficial use of them.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hunters have little to no use of this weapon. True you mention that they are sometimes forced into melee situations, but they still need weapons that actually add to their overall attack power like that big ass sword that neffy drop (and there are similar ones in Naxx)
I agree that paladins dont have the best use of this, but we paladins dont only need 2h for pvp, I use 2h quite alot in pve endgame aswell.
as for warriors, ill agree that they give amazing dps at times, but if they are TANKS they have NO USE FOR IT!
tanks do 1 thing, they take the worst damage away from the rest of the raid. they use 1h like quel'serrar and a decent shield to have as much armor up as possible. we have those fury warriors, but you honestly dont want alot of those, you want warriors that can keep aggro take a few heals and stay alive. The best waepon they can use besides quel'serrar is Thunderfury. its a legendary and they deserve that. None of the legendaries that have been added to the game has so far fitted the paladin class DESPITE being class spesific to paladins, warriors and rogues only (as thunderfury) We get the 1 legendary that honestly is the crappies one of all for a paladin. the hammer of raggy.
All casters except paladins get a very nice staff (due to the fact that paladins cant use staff so understandable)
but on any of the other weapons a paladin can use extremely well (that depends on the paladin of course).
Pretty much everywhere i see that peeps hate paladins, and this is part of why paladins dont get anything. U call us crappy healers and nogood dps, well then i challenge you to see if you can do a decent endgame run without. In mc the healers will get toast first. they will be forced to heal them selves and thus waste mana and also use longer time to heal the tanks. bwl is no different case. those healers willget toast unless they have someone with decent armor that can heal. This is the very reason for both paladin and shaman existence.
We wherent made to be great in one or the other, we where made to be a great allrounder. No other class can survive as long as the paladin.
U call him loladin, the truth is that you just dont know the sheer power that they hold.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm a warrior, and I totally think this thing belongs in the hands of a hunter. Why? Because of all the stats on all the weapons in the game, none of them are as good as -25 stamina is for the hunter I'm killng.

Kommentar von Thottbot

also something else to chew on

if you go into old hilsbrad, and make your way to southshore you can see the "the scarlet crusade" talk about the ashbringer before they were corrupt. Herod the Bully, a little kid runs around, kel'thuzad roams around.

from sitting and listening in the inn it says that mograne took a dark shard years ago (keep in mind were back in time here) from black rock spire and he has a wounded arm.

seeing as everyone is a paladin they use the ligth on the shard and it becomes a light shard, mograne takes off his glove and touches it, does a crying emote and says the light was beautiful

then he says something about how theyll make a weapon out of it and it will only leave ashes, mograine says "The Ashbringer", then everybody else around him says "The Ashbringer" and /salutes

then it restarts after about 5 minutes.

Taelan is upstairs in the inn running around with an enchanted hammer.

very interesting if you check out southshore

Kommentar von Thottbot

This Sword is strictly Lore. Not good for PvP, PvE, or anything. Pure Lore.

Kommentar von Thottbot

About getting Ashbringer, wouldn't you think it would come out in a Northrend expansion? You know, where instead of fighting demons you would fight undead (Arthas' undead for that matter) after all, that is what the Ashbringer was made for in the first place isn't it?

Kommentar von Thottbot

waaa waaa wa,ret pallys cant dps warriors are suposed to tank,who cares.play ur class how u want to play it,i've seen warriors and pallys do pretty good dps and both tank very well,and others well they just plain sucked.why argue over a weapon that none of us are prolly ever gona even bother to try and get u should all reroll feral druids =P theres no ^&*!@ fights over what weapons go to them haha!
peace out!

Origin of Ashbringer
See also: Ashbringer/Old Hillsbrad Event
During the assault on Blackrock Spire in the Second War, Highlord (then Commander) Mograine of the Silver Hand claimed a mysterious dark crystal from a dead orc lieutenant. The crystal was the "living embodiment of shadow," and originated from Draenor.

When the first whispers of the Scourge reached Lordaeron, Commander Mograine revealed the crystal to his most trusted associates of the Silver Hand, and suggested that they search for the crystal's polar opposite - a manifestation of The Light itself - to be used against the impending undead holocaust. Mograine's peers, appalled at the sight of this dark crystal, attempted to destroy it with a holy spell. Unexpectedly, the crystal absorbed the spell and became its own antithesis - the very crystal of pure light that Mograine suggested. It was decided that from this crystal a weapon would be forged that would smite the undead with such power that only a cloud of ash would remain in its wake-- The Ashbringer.

Fall of the Ashbringer
See also: Corrupted Ashbringer/Scarlet Monastery Event

Death knight Highlord Mograine, as seen in NaxxramasAfter the Silver Hand was dissolved following Arthas' betrayal, the remaining leaders formed the Scarlet Crusade. Mograine was appointed to the head position of Highlord, and Ashbringer became the most lethal weapon in the Crusade's arsenal - so much so that it quickly garnered the attention of Kel'Thuzad. Balnazzar, in the newly possessed body of Grand Crusader Saidan Dathrohan, sought to use the Crusade as a machine against the Scourge and rectify the Burning Legion's past failure to defeat the Lich King. Mograine, however, potentially jeopardized his plans. Balnazzar made a pact with Kel'Thuzad to eliminate the Highlord: the bane of the Scourge would be destroyed, and Balnazzar's reign would continue unchecked. He corrupted Mograine's son, Renault, and made plans to set a trap for the Highlord. Renault led his father and High Inquisitor Fairbanks to Stratholme, where the legions of the Scourge awaited them. Renault fled and hid while Mograine and Fairbanks fended for themselves. Fairbanks eventually became trapped alive under a pile of corpses. Mograine alone continued to smite thousands of the undead with ease, but was eventually wearied and dropped his blade in fatigue. Renault came out of hiding to exploit his father's vulnerable state. He took up Ashbringer and slew his father, which simultaneously corrupted the blade by using it for such a treacherous act. Unable to wield the corrupted sword, he left it with his father's body, and reported to the Crusade that it had been lost.

Renault's betrayal was witnessed only by the unseen Fairbanks, who could only listen in horror as Renault murdered his father. Fairbanks remained there until he regained enough strength to leave the besieged city. He fled to the Scarlet Monastery where he told of Renault's actions to anyone who would listen. Those who believed broke away from the Crusade and formed the Argent Dawn. However, many refused to believe him and killed him for speaking such blasphemy and exposure to the Plague. His body was discarded in a secret chamber in the Scarlet Cathedral.

Meanwhile, Kel'Thuzad resurrected Mograine as one of his death knights and reclaimed his corrupted blade. Since then Mograine has resided in Naxxramas, driven mad by his corruption. Taelan Fordring has succeeded him as Highlord. Renault has risen in rank to Commander of the Scarlet Monastery, and Balnazzar gained authority over the Scarlet Crusade and began to corrupt it further into the zealous faction it is today. Followers of the Crusade believe that the "chosen one" who finds Ashbringer will be the harbinger of the Crusade's triumph.

In World of Warcraft
Ashbringer has been subject to intense speculation since the release of World of Warcraft, but is not currently known to be acquirable. Rumors have been fueled by data-mined graphics and item statistics, as well as NPC's alluding to its existence.

Alexia Ironknife, Bardu Sharpeye, Caretaker Alen, Narain Soothfancy, Commander Eligor Dawnbringer, Shen'dralar Zealots and all make references to Ashbringer. Information from these NPC's implies Nat Pagle and Prince Tortheldrin know the location of Ashbringer, and are even willing to tell the player; however, they have never shared their knowledge.

The rumors regarding an acquirable Ashbringer persisted until Eyonix confessed that it is not in-game:

View Original PostEuropean CM Response on Ashbringer! | 14:15, 24 February 2006 (EST) | Eyonix
It's true that currently Ashbringer is not in the game, although one day in the future it will be, but not until after there is an awesome legendary item for casters. ;)
The caster legendary being referred to is , which was added in Patch 1.11. The item statistics of Ashbringer found in the game files will be updated before the sword is made available to players.

Corrupted Ashbringer
Main article: Corrupted Ashbringer
Players encounter the resurrected Highlord Mograine in Naxxramas as a death knight of the Four Horsemen. He wields , which may be looted from the Horsemens' cache.

Upon wielding the blade, the player becomes friendly with the Scarlet Crusade (although it does not appear in the reputations window) and hated with the Argent Dawn. A scripted event can be triggered upon entering the Cathedral in the Scarlet Monastery.

Scarlet Commander Mograine welcomes the player as the crusaders bow before him or her. Unexpectedly, Highlord Mograine's spirit appears in full Dreadnaught, revives Fairbanks and smites and kills his son (Renault, the Scarlet Commander) for murdering him. Fairbanks proceeds to tell the story of Renault's betrayal and that the Corrupted Ashbringer is beyond redeeming. Luckily, Mograine has another son who resides in Outland and has the ability to forge a new Ashbringer. Fairbanks does not give any quests.

In Wrath of the Lich King

Tirion Fordring wielding AshbringerDuring the lore and quests panel at BlizzCon 2007, Chris Metzen and Alex Afrasiabi discussed a questline in Northrend focusing on Tirion Fordring, and mentioned plans to include Ashbringer.

On the Blizzcon demonstration realm, players encountered the dying Ares the Oathbound of the Order of the Silver Hand within the Utgarde Catacombs, one of the wings of Utgarde Keep. Ares gave a quest, The Shining Light, which required players to retrieve a "sacred artifact" from another location in the dungeon. Once retrieved, he asked the player to return it to Lord Irulon Trueblade in Valgarde. Trueblade told the player that the weapon will be used by Tirion Fordring - the new Highlord of the Silver Hand - in the Silver Hand's campaign against the Scourge, perhaps even using it against the Lich King himself. A nearby cleric then unmasked himself as Fordring and equipped the artifact, which was revealed to be Ashbringer.

Rumors and speculation
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials.
It should not be taken as representing official lore!

Role in Wrath of the Lich King
Some believe that Ashbringer is the Light's answer to Frostmourne, and that the two may eventually contend with one another: Frostmourne in the hands of Arthas, Ashbringer in the hands of Tirion Fordring or the player.

Identity of Mograine's second son
Thus far, Mograine's other son has not been found, and even his precise identity remains unknown. Fairbanks' comments imply that he was a member of the Alliance Expedition during the Second War. It is likely he knows nothing of the Ashbringer, or his role to play in reforging it, considering his father did not create it until the Third War, and there was no communication between Azeroth and Outland since the Dark Portal was closed at the end of the Second War.

Fan speculation has pointed to at least three possible candidates for Mograine's lost son:

Khadgar: Beyond his apprenticeship to Medivh and his involvement in the invasion of Draenor, his background is unknown.
Turalyon: Also with little known history, other than the fact that he was Anduin Lothar's lieutenant and later the Expedition's High General. His only known possible connection to Ashbringer is the fact that he is a paladin. His current whereabouts are unknown, although he is scheduled to appear in World of Warcraft eventually.
David Wayne: He is the most popular candidate for Mograine's son, due to the fact that he is a weaponsmith and makes reference to leaving the Alliance Expedition because he believes he is meant to be part of "something larger." He also has red hair like the two known Mograines.
It is also possible that he is not an important character at all, and just another common soldier in the Alliance Expedition.

The crystal

The dark crystal from which the Ashbringer would be crafted, before and after its purificationThe crystal from which the original Ashbringer was created is likely related to the naaru, and may in fact be a naaru.

The naaru life cycle is one of reincarnation. Upon death, naaru are transformed into "corpses" of dark voids -- the opposite of a living naaru. They will persist in this state until they slowly regenerate their powers from The Light over many years after which they will be resurrected into their living form again. The crystal shown by Highlord Mograine in Old Hillsbrad demonstrates similar properties: a holy spell was cast on the dark crystal and it became a crystal of light. Furthermore, the crystal was described as a living embodiment, suggesting that it was alive, or was a fragment of a living thing -- possibly a deceased naaru. The crystal's characteristics do bear striking resemblance to the life cycle of a naaru, so if the crystal is not a deceased naaru, then it is almost definitely very closely associated with them.

Mograine also states that the crystal is from Draenor. The naaru had not yet arrived on Draenor via Tempest Keep before the Second War, leaving only a few naaru as the possible source of the crystal -- K'ure, who resides in Oshu'gun, or the deceased naaru D'ore, who was killed in Oshu'gun's crash upon Draenor centuries before, currently interred in Auchindoun. D'ore himself tells the player:

"Without the void, the Light cannot exist."
Which are suspiciously similar to words used by Mograine:

"Can good exist without evil? Can there be light without dark?"
Another similar theory is that the crystal is one of the Ata'mal crystals, each of which grant the wielder a variety of powers. It should be noted, however, that all of the Ata'mal crystals are known to be spherical unlike the corrupted or "purified" Ashbringer crystal.

Old questline
Ashbringer may have been originally intended to be in the game much earlier. Parts of the quest line can be pieced together.

Nat Pagle learned of the location of Ashbringer and wrote about it in his book, , of which players only have the last page. Shen'dralar zealots in Dire Maul say that Prince Tortheldrin knows the location of Ashbringer and is willing to tell the player if one were to bring him the Head of Nefarian. Also in Dire Maul is the full (albeit unreadable) copy of Nat's book, , which can be found in dusty tomes. The Prince, being a historian and bibliophile, likely read Pagle's book, learned of the Ashbringer's location, and discarded the book in Dire Maul where the player finds it.

The zealots' words suggest that Ashbringer was likely to be the legendary item associated with Blackwing Lair but was changed to , which requires from Blackwing Lair. This is supported by the fact that Ashbringer's original item ID was changed to host Thunderfury.

Additionally, at one time, could be looted from Large Vile Slimes in The Weeping Cavern of Western Plaguelands. Lengthy discussion on the official forums has led to the premature yet popular conclusion that Timolain is the name of the mage referred to by Bardu Sharpeye and Alexia Ironknife, and therefore is the crafter of the Ashbringer.

The implementation of Ashbringer was likely delayed so that the story could be fleshed out with the addition of Naxxramas, and appears to have been further delayed to be included in Wrath of the Lich

I wouldn't really call this an "any classes" wep. It decreases stam by 25 which is crucial to almost any class for pvp, pve or otherwise. DPS is good, speed is good for a warrior, and crit chance is a plus even if it doesn't add much. The big downfall is in "inflicts the will of the ashbringer". Makes you hated with the argent dawn on binding. In other words, you're pretty much screwed for naxx and any AD gear. I'd have to say the legendary form of this wep is much better because of that.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Wow, I am amazed. This sword is INSANELY powerful. Corrupted Ashbringer sure beats the hell out of Dark Edge (in both power/dps and looks).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well... I can't imagine that there is _any_ Naxx-raiding-guild that is stupid enough to take MS warriors with them.
Everybody should know that MS's DPS is quite ridiculous compared to DW Fury.

So it's neither a warrior's, nor a paladin's, nor a hunter's weapon.

It's just FFA, like every other f*cking 2H-weapon.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

awesome sword! i put 25 agi on it

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hey, um... I don't know if any of you know this, but Corrupted Ashbringer has the highest possible base damage out of every level 60 2h epic sword. 259-389. Oh, and call of the Ashbringer? Steals 185 to 215 life from the enemy, and this isn't shown, but it also increases your hit rating by 10. SO, screw Ashkandi, and get in a guild where you can get this blade... 'Tis nuttin' but f*ckin' amazing.

ive been grindin, questing and doing everythin to find thi &*!@ing sword and no one has ever herd ofit!
is it a GM weaopn or semothing?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok #1 the will of the ashbringer is an on equip aura. basicly, unequip it and you are good to go. #2 the quest is started already. but you can only get so far. the son you need to find is in outlands. witch we will be getting to in the expantion. You have to remember tho. this is not a BC weapon so all you can do i inchant it. there are no jewel slots.

In my eyes this is a paladin weapon. reguardless. it was made with pallies in mind. the original user was a pally. and the legendary vertion is all pally stuff.We allso do know know the full stats of the legendary vertion. Also when you go into SM cath with it equipped you get this neat thing where all the Scarlet guys will bow to you and are now your ally's. you go talk to the head guy there and a cut scene starts between him and his father. the highlord. anyway he kills his some and the quest starts. talk to that undead guy in the hidden room to get the next part. after that its into outlands.

And anyway. pallies are finally getting buffed in BC. so I think they made a weapon for us :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this is definatly not a war weapon i dont care what spec, its a pallie weap put the "cleansed" ashbringer into a pallies hands 700 holey damage + sanctity aura + crusader strike trust me i dont care how much you say its a war weap definatly high tier pallie item(s)and with a 2hander ive out DPSed all specced wars i just cant out tank them lol ^ ^

What does "inflict the will of the Ashbringer"? What does it do? What is the proc of calling Ashbringer?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You all know the only reason your arguing about who should use this is because it looks so cool. Anyone who uses 2h swords can use this.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i think ill just start with ashkandi with my pala ^^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i will get this and all warriors shall cry!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

A warrior had this in AV the other day, hit like a truck. ;(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

But is mograine really a paladin? Look at the event in SM, he is wearing deadnaught. imo that suggests this is a warrior sword. and btw, that holy dmg and all elemental dmg like thqat on weapons can't be amplified by spell dmg and such, cuz they arent spells. trust me i tried it with an ice blade hacker which gives frost dmg like ashbringer does holy, no dmg difference. so there, pallys are not better weilders of this sword in that aspect. but really noone knows the final versoin of ashbringer. it could kinda be like atiesh and giv different rewards for different classes, like give a purely dmg dealing version for warriors, and a healing and spell dmg version for pallys. dont see a hunter version likely... possible tho... watever just some ideas id been thinking of

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Wonder when they'll introduce that upgrade quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There's no point of arguing who it belongs to, the wep is pretty much for novelty atm as it's stats and damage are next to nothing compared to 70 epics. However, if the legenday should be introduced in the future and are based on the same claimed stats of the supposed "cleansed ashbringer", then either an arms warrior or ret pally would benefit from it, maybe slightly more towards pally due to the faster attack speed. Either way, arms and ret are pvp specs, and neither help raiding.

oman i cant wait to get this one with my pala

GRATZ! U hold the probably most impressive weapon available to warriors, this is so great. Best weapon to get, stroywise and stylewise.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

STFU about "_______ WEAPON!" If you even have a chance at this weapon, you are in a top end raiding guild that uses DKP and has their own rules to what gear goes to who. Out of the few guilds that can even down the four horsemen, im possitive NONE of them care what you think about who this weapon should go to.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

WER DO u gGET TIS SWORD IS IT IN EZPANSION`! HALO! CAn snmone aNSER PLZZZ!
Gaahah xD doesnt everyone wanna bash me now?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I wouldn't be too worried about the -25 STA on the sword, even as a warrior... if you can even get this equipped, you've got most/all of the T3 set, and 250 health is a very little amount to pay for being able to swing this bad boy around.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

THis is a very good blade that drops off of Mograine in Naxxaramus (yes needs a hard attunement) and has been only seen once by the guild Risen (gratz to the winner of blade) it is needed to get the Legendary Sword Ashbringer which was removed from the game to make this long and lore filled quest line of a story unheard of until now... This blade is taken to Mograine's (NOT SM CATH BOSS) other son...name unknown...where he will refore the blade for you into the legendary...im sure your gonna have to do alot for him before he gives you the strongest blade EVER (atleast with its NEW stats) this makes me want to give up Shammy Dual Wield for Shammy 1h 2h Sword use (besides shammy dual wield is going to suck anus without hit gear which means most shammys at least the smart ones will stay with there 2-handers) if you disagree BURN IN HECK!

I've heard some rumours about this sword, especially this one. Its the opinion of some that when you equip this sword, you get hated reputation with the argent dawn immedietly. Personally i don't see the down side to this unless you've grinding since the dawn of time to get to exalted but i just want to know if anyone can confrim this. Also whats behind bringing this sword to SM (normal) and then killing mograine?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Warrior wep. Not hunter, pally, sham... idc, it's for a warrior. Screw the history, this is for a warrior. STFHU

If I ever see a nonwarrior with this, I will die (same goes for any other high DPS twohander or war dps gear, if u want to dps, get out of cheat mode and play war).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hunter weapon

For the movie of walking into the Scarlet Monastary while wielding the Ashbringer. It won't be up forever.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

People are moaning about the -25 but that can easily be countered with an enchant (or by jewelcrafting if we are looking to the future)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well some say pally wep some say warrior wep

it can be anyones who can wield a 2h sword if the person has higher dkp then the others and outbids everyone else being hunter pally or warrior it will go to that char

and i definetly think this wep is good for a pally in its legendary form because the holy dmg stacks with the pallys holy dmg and aura with raises the holy dmg

Kommentar von Allakhazam

To any1 who has this wpn, does it gain from spell dmg?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This item Exists it has an official page in the WoW armory item search look it up :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Real warriors either use 1h+shield (Prot) or dual wield (Fury). MS warriors (Arms) use twohanders, which is better for PVP, but crap for anything else. Palies/hunters? I'm a warrior and I don't care who gets it because it's useless for PVE.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

O.K. All hunters that say this is a hunter weapon, are retarded. It's for anyone that can use 2-H swords, O.K.? It's a game, don't get all mad at eachother because you think it's hunter, pally, or warrior, it's whoever gets it, and that's going to be me at 60!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just saw this for the 1st time yesterday some 60 pally had it

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yeah, the 90 DPS looks really cool, but it takes away 25 stamina and only gives +2% crit. The Dark Edge of Insanity from AQ40 is probably better than this in most cases.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Meh i had to rofl to the guy saying this is a Pally weapon. I guarentee you a Warrior would get this before a Paladin. Pallys use Sulfuras isint that bad enough? Now you gotta go say this is a Pally weapon also. Whats next Thunderfury is a Pally weapon?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ok i made an account just to comment on this item...if someone has said this before me im sorry but....well..this is a Death Knight weapon "ZOMFG u nuub DK isnt out yet" yes but its been speculated that this will become a level 80 legendary weapon..but it is mainly a PvP weapon as someone has already said...or is it? its been said DKs (Death Knights) use 2h Weps and are still tanks which means they might be able to obtain this weapon then cleanse it in a quest chain and it will still be usefull for Raids and also PvP so this is Definatly a DK weapon

ok listen, too all the people that say "warriors can do more dmg bla bla bla" or "morgraine was a paladin so paladins should get it" need too just shutup..noone owns this weapon, iam a warrior, and i would love too get my hands on this, even at lvl 70 just so i could get it upgraded..but its not just a warrior weapon, i have a good friend thats a pally..and he could use it just as much as i could, lore has nothing to do with it! it bugs me when people say that it does >.<

Kommentar von zaonpt

HUNTER BIS!

Kommentar von Bandersnatch

The life steal scaled with spell damage and healing making this item choice for Retribution Paladins. This combined with the fact that it has a proc chance (and can proc off judgements) make it even better than Menethil in my opinion.

Kommentar von vikn

Beyond dps reasons and lore reasons, which has been debated to death on this page. It seams to me that the sword would be very useful to miners. As being friendly with the Scarlet Crusade would give easy access to rich thorium veins in both Hearthglen and Tyr's Hand, zones otherwise populated with hostile elite scarlet crusader mobs. For herbalists there is one black lotus spawn in Tyr's Hand so a slight usefulness there too but not as much.

I would of course not give this precedent over dps or lore reasons when handing out the sword, but it raises the possibility of some alternative uses for it once you have it.

It also raises the question, would the sword provided faction change interfere with mining?

A similar instance is The Garrison Armory in The Blasted Lands. Where nodes can only be mined by hord players and not alliance players due to alliance players being friendly to the surrounding NPC:s.

I would assume the sword doesn't cause any issues but I haven't seen anyone mention it being used for mining before so I have no sources for or against it.

Kommentar von scottw89

This weapon doesn't seem to whisper to me in classic :(

Bug or just hates hunters?

Kommentar von LeGOaks

Sooo, does the proc scale with Spell Power in Classic? Can anyone confirm?

To listen to the voice lines ingame without having access to the weapon, here is a macro that seems to work for classic!

/script PlaySoundFile("sound/creature/ashbringer/ash_speak_01.ogg").

Change the number from 01 to 02, 03 etc up to 12 to hear all the voice lines!

Kommentar von Vulkanian

Got this last week on my Hunter, my longtime Classic goal is complete.

Before anyone rages "reee Hunt*rd!11!1!", (hunt-a-rd is apparently censored here? wtf lol?) the stats on this thing are garbage for everyone.

-25 stam makes it turbo trash for pvp, it has no strength or agility on it, the proc isn't even good and doesn't scale, 2% crit and 1% hit don't matter for any melee dps doing Naxx. It's only redeeming quality is its high white damage.

Edge of Insanity, Severance, Claymore, and especially Might of Menethil blow this thing out of the water. It's entirely a RPing weapon.

Kommentar von devath

Wielding Ashbringer does darken your character, you can also hear whispers when attacking with it.

Kommentar von effyouzion

One of the three best two-handed weapons in Classic WoW, along with Dunkle Schneide des Irrsinns and Macht von Menethil.

Dark Edge is comparable to Might of Menethil on a warrior. The proc on Dark Edge acts as an equivalent to mace specialization, while Dark Edge also benefits from axe specialization. The end result is that Dark Edge crits more often, while MoM has more raw damage.

Ashbringer has the most burst damage of the three thanks to its proc and sword specialization, but the extra damage comes at the cost of -25 stamina. Given the large stamina values on the other two weapons, this is a swing in 500-670 health, which is easily 10% (or more!) of your unbuffed health pool in aggressive gear.

In PvE, Dark Edge is the best by default, because two-handers are only truly viable on horde side (thanks to Windfury Totem) and only Orcs get two-handed axe skill.

As a warrior, you would be happy with any of these three weapons!

Kommentar von AngusMcBeef

Procrate is about 11% (~1,8 ppm), results from auto-hitting Servant of Grol for 30 minutes generating 55 procs.
