This quest gives 3 great wands for its level, and they will serve you well for quite a few levels. They either boost your +fire, +frost or +arcane damage.

The quest is not hard to do, but finding the quest giver can be quite difficult, who is located in the middle of Dustwallow Marsh, a level 45 zone. If you keep frostnovaing, popping up mana shield, blinking etc, however, you should be fine.

The quest series start at your mage trainer at level 30, so go speak to him/her. Don't miss this quest, I see lots of mages at level 40 who use worse wands because of this.

Kommentar von skitzosmeagol

All of the wands, are pretty equal so dont worry about getting the best one .1 dps isnt alot :P you should choose the one that is in correlation to your spec (fire mages get the fire wand) Also the quest give is in a little hut :).

Kommentar von Arballador

actually the casting speed of a wand does very little. I know i'm going to take the Icefury because I am a frost mage, but actually in damage the Icefury is the best because it is the slowest a slower weapon will do more damage and most likely with any of the wands you'll only get in 3 hits before a target attacks you or dies so you do the most damage with the Icefury... That's the reason why warriors all choose the axe in their quest because it's the slowest

Kommentar von Aqzt

I would take the fire wand since I'm all fire but what if i need to fight a fire elemental? I think I'm going for the arcane because very few are immune to it (and it has the highest dps!).

Kommentar von 34056

If you got 3/3 Improved Scorch (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/spell=11095) then I would prefer the Ragefire Wand because of it deals fire damage and is really fast.

Kommentar von 49102

I cant get acces to this quest.

Can it be because i am a Blood Elf Mage ? or do i need to do one of the mages quests in order to get acces to it ?

Kommentar von Darkfire

It's not about the DPS its about the +Damage and stats. They're almost all equal and it depends on what talent spec you are. If your Fire obviously pick Ragefire wand, if your Frost then obviously pick Icefury wand and if your Arcane then pick Nether Force Wand. Not like you ever use your wand more than your spells so why pick DPS go for the stats and thats the most important thing about these wands. If your hybrid then choose the wand your most comfortable with.
Good luck and happy hunting mages!!

you must be level 35 to obtain the quest to get the wand. you can start the chain at level 30.

Kommentar von 94545

I did these quests with help from a 70 friend, achieving the wand at lvl 30. I was also able to make it fairly easy to Tabetha's location both times.

Like Calminaion said, just need to follow these quests:

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=1947 (Obtained at your Trainer at level 30)
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=1948
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=1949 (3-Quest Chain)

Brought the quest's back completed, she said some stuff then bam I got the wand quest. She did some more stuff then I turned in the quest for a badass wand at level 30.

The moral of this story is, YOU CAN GET THIS WAND AT LEVEL 30.

Here's a quick bit of insanity .. I got the Ragefire wand at level 30 ... I've just hit outlands, and am sizing up the quest rewards from all over HFP ... the Desolation Rod (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=29915) from from the quest Bonechewer Blood (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=10450), which one of the very first quests you pick up in HFP ... is only marginally better ... well, I actually still haven't decided that ... it gives +3 int but I lose +2 damage.

Before this, I haven't found a wand to replace the Ragefire Wand ....

Consider this carefully when you hit 30

hello all, my twink alt mage is looking to get the fire wand. but im having a problem...i finished all the chain quests above it but i did not get the option to get this wand..do i have to do the quest "items of power" maybe?? please help

velvetjones 70 sham, sc

Kommentar von 19427

I finished this quest and she hasnt given me the wand. Im guessing i need to do the other 2 Items of power and Infernakl Orb before u get this?

Kommentar von 173039

Yes You have to finish ALL of the quests before she gives you the wand.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Guys.. I have a lvl40 mage alt atm and i didn't bother doing mages quests cause I heard rewards sux.. However, when I've seen this reward, i immediatly wanted to do it.

The dmg of the wand is bonus, as a mage, you don't wand often, you want to kill fast, you want to lvlup. I have almost only +dmg equipement right now, +100ish~, my rank 7 fire ball does 430-490 and crits for 680-720~ + 250 ignite dmg.

Every stats are the same, if you don't focus on it, it sux.

Of course their are wands that do better dps.. so what ? if you face me, you gonna wand me to death ? lol No, you want stats~

Kommentar von Thottbot

There are a few key elements that people are overlooking here.. Like anyone, I have done a quest and thought, "now why the hell did I waste my time doing this?" But a bit later on down the line, I have discovered that doing some of those *seems like you wasted time quests* ended up beneficial in the end... This quest essentially broadens your known territories, flight paths etc. Reveals some truly quick and fast leveling quests on the way, and of course makes you depend on other classes at some points to help you complete it... It is essentially a way to improve your character as a mage... For those of you who don't care about that, well -- "It is a waste of YOUR precious time..."

Kommentar von Thottbot

i have done the quest before this, the one u need to get the sticks and jade. anyay i handed it in but she didnt make my wand, anyone have same problem?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have a mage 36 at Burning Blade Realm. I complete the quest, travel to tabetha and finish it. But I dont get any reward. Just put a ticket. Any one had luck?

Kommentar von Thottbot

FIRST OF ALL
u get 2 quests from Tabetha after u hand in the quest u got from a mage trainer.
FOR 1 quest u have to goto arathi highlands and kill witherbark trolls around boulder gor, after awhile (2hours -_-) u get 10 totem sticks, which u take to the circle of outer binding, where u go to the stone, and u have to use the sticks in the inventory! dont click the stone over and over again saying why this doesnt work.
AND THEN goto an auction house and purchase a jade if u dont have one!
NOW GOTO desolace, there is a place where there are a buncha demons, infernals, and then these shadowcasters, im not sure how much they drop but U NEED TO GET THE INFERNAL ORB, just one of them.
NOW head back to Tabetha, and then she will goto her beautiful garder then summon a lvl 40 elite demon, so u probably need help in that! THANK GOD

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ok... so here's the deal:

get the mage quest from mage trainer in org.

find tabetha. 46,57 dustwallaoroo (i fergit the name, fly to camp taj then book it southeast)

get new quests.

go to shimmering flats, talk to dude by the race track (read yer quests!). find the chicken, he's by the race tower. go back to tabetha.

go to arathi highlands. go to the far east side by the lake, kill the trolls and git yer stix! (read the letter she gives you)

go to circle of outer binding (bring a friend if yer low 30 like me) use the sticks in the center rock, open the rod, get the thingy inside of it.

buy a Jade. borrow a jade. steal a jade. just git yer hands on a jade.

go to SM (trisfal glades, northeast of undercity.)
get a crew together and rox the library. in the long hall before the boss there is a book you can open on the wall. do it. git yer book fer tabetha.

go to tabetha. git yer wand.
you have a choice. frost, arcane, fire...

these are VERY similar to your talent trees... maybe you should choose the one that you have the MOST POINTS IN your talent tree...

mages pwn. so did this quest. challenging is good. the wand is good. all you other losers are ebay wow's and don't know jack about the l33tness that is a mage.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just finished the quest at lvl 33 and got my wand. She then gives you a quest to kill a demon in desolace to get an orb. This is a mage quest, for some of you that keep saying warlock. However, it is after getting the nice little wand reward. You dont have to kill an "elite demon" to get the wand. Just do as mike above wrote out.

OH btw, you HAVE to do the SM part where you get the ritual book before you can get your wand. As stated in her quest text, she needs that to know how to make it. :) Good luck :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

The "up to x" language takes into consideration the fact that most spells don't get full +damage bonus from gear (or talents). Fireball gets a full 100%; it's big and slow; Scorch and Fireblast get about half because they're really fast spells; Frostbolt gets 82% because it's reasonably fast and snares; CoC, Arcane Explosion, and so on get less than that because they're AoE...anyway, you can find this information somewhere else. The point is, the bonus is always the same - for each spell.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you haven't done the quest stop lying and making this longer! To get the wand there are 2(yes, TWO) parts: Visiting Magus Tirth and getting his book from the Scarlet Monastery AND getting jade and charged bramble (from Witherbark Trolls in Arathi Highlands). After you turn in BOTH quests, Tabetha will have a new quest, which solely involves waiting 2 seconds for her to make the wand then you pick which you want. There is no fighting involved after turning in the quests, fighting the elite demon from the orb is a different mage quest, and yes, it is a mage quest, though there is a similiar warlock quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

this wand is, letm e see its hard to get it becuse it takes a lot of times ,
I taked the frost wand becuse I am frost mage and now my frost bolts crits is around 500 / I am a 37 mage.
if u can get it take it :p and the "frost spell" who comes out from the wand looks very cool and do a lot of damage choose the frost wand if u wanna be good in pvp and pve good luck and have fun ;P

Kommentar von Thottbot

i deleted my quest in the race trak and i cant get it agein? what shoul i do? its the jansson (chicken) quest...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Lol i done alot of quests for her, i just done the chicken thingy and now i need to go to SM get the book. still got no wand wile ive seen a level 31 mage with it and i don't think a 31 mage get into there, have i done something wrong?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got the quest, A Journey to the Marsh, from the Mage trainer in Stormwind at level 30. The quest is to basically talk to Tabetha in Dustwallow Marsh. She is only a short distance due north from the "E" in Stonemaul Ruins on the map. Once there, she gives you two quests, Hidden Secrets and Items of Power. Both are fairly easy to complete solo if you so choose. Hidden Secrets is the first of three quest you must do. The second is Get the Scoop and the third and last one is Rituals of Power. The last one, Rituals of Power is the hardest of them all requiring you to find a group to go into Scarlet Monastary, which is extremely hard for a level 30 mage! However, thanks to my guild, this was possible. Once all the quests are done, head back to Tabetha in Dustwallow Marsh and turn in the quests "Rituals of Power" and "Items of Power". She will then give you a final quest, Mage's Wand, which you can immediately turn in to Tabetha for you wand.

Kommentar von Thottbot

now i did this quest a little late cause i already had an awesome wand (which i rarely use anyway) and just wanted to sell wand to vendor for mount money. but i noticed that these guys also drop items needed for other quests. so combine them with those and go to the camps outside the cave. work ur way into the cave for the dagger drop for another quest, the sticks dropped better near the cave. the jade dropped no problem, maybe i was lucky, plus there is a third quest that can be combined here as well.
the other two quests i dont remember the name of but one was picked up at the refugee camp for sure. they clearly involved killing witherbank trolls. horde camping kept me from doing these on time over the holidays so i lvld and came back, combined all then did grinding in the cave. till i was done i hit 35.
i took a feral druid at lvl46 with me to the circle and we only took out the elementals nec. to make a path to the circle then cleared inside the circle. i figured this way i dont have to worry if horde showed up, the wand does take a while to finish but when done, it was retrieved by ur normal loot window. elementals do respawn fast.
so take a group if u do this on time and wipe out several quests at once. hope someone else can post the other quests after me for ya. combining saved alot of time on this and took care of the xp problem everyone worried about.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Does the +9 damage for the wands add to the damage the wand does?

Kommentar von Thottbot

i thought everyone was looking for the quest info and help. 46,57 correct coords but beware there are level 38-41 around the area

Kommentar von Thottbot

well, yeah, i still have to run sm, but for me killing witherbarks was pretty easy. it took me a pretty short time, i mean they didnt drop one evey kill, but it was done with pretty soon. also there was a rarespawn that dropped a sweet new mage helm for me XD.

Kommentar von Thottbot

For the wand do u need 2 finish all 3 quests she gives?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just reiterate here, you need to finish the two quests described in great detail here. then Tabetha gives ANOTHER quest (The mages wand) which requires you to wait for her to make the wand you want. choose the wand and woot!

Lvl 38 Mage.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Alright guys, I am freaking lost. What the hell do I do? I just turned lvl 30 as a Mage. I forgot to check into a Mage Trainer and get the lvl 30 Skills. I just went to Tabetha' place because some other things said I need to go here for the quest. Went there, everybody have a Silver Exclamation Mark. Obviously, I can't get the quest yet. Where the hell do I go in order to get the quest? Is it a Mage Trainer or is it the guy in Shimmering Flats or does it start when I get the book from SM Lib and bring it to someone or what? Someone please help me, his is my first mage and I am completely lost.

dude, mike you are soo right mages pwn and those who buy from Ebay are missing out on how much a mage pwns. Kudos Mike Kudos

you could also kill the library boss after this and get one of the caster loots he drops... that would be good.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Kk, so here is what I found out <a href="https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=1332/gebirgsjägerin-morran"> BUY FIRE WAND? </a>

So I figure, pick up the frost or arcane wand, and buy the fire wand....

Am I missing somehting?

lol

Sincerly

Obsidious

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have found no-matter what U choose, U will come against something the is killed by either or! So, In all acutality it really doesn't matter which U get!

I use All Arcane, Fire and frost! It depends on what I am up against!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

nice wands :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Is this a case of if you are:

Fire mage: Pick Nether or Ice
Frost mage: Pick Fire or Nether
Arcane mage: Pick Fire or Ice

To complement the fact that certain mobs will resist your preferred spell types?

Like a fire mage farming Essence of Fire in Un'Goro is gimped because the Elementals are immune to the heavy hitting fire based spells?

The only thing arguing against that is the plus to damage for that school of magic per wand.

What are your thoughts?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was sent on this quest, from Org, as being a lower lvl than what is there! I got attacked by one of croco thingys and ran, thank goodness I didnt die! Anywho, I will be doing the quest when I am @ least mid 30's, which I am close to being. As of now I am 32!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was confused by this chain and the one that leads to 'Celestial Power', so I posted here and under that quest to differentiate which quests go with which chain. Thotbot helps a little, if you were as confused as I was. This quest chain gets you a choice of one of 3 wands at the end - see above.

First, there's a quest that leads you to Tabetha in Dustwallow Marsh - it starts with the mage trainer in Ogrimmar for Horde, and is just like the Alliance-side 'Journey to the Marsh' listed here. Tabetha is on an island southeast of Brackenwall Village in Dustwallow, almost to the coastline. For Alliance, Tabetha is almost due west of the docks in Theramore, but it's tough to get to her from the bay because of the low- to mid-40's mobs in the water. It's easier to go up and around (partway on the road) because the mobs are lower level (high 30's). Tabetha's hut is due north of the 'EM' in Stonemaul Ruins on the Dustwallow map.
2. Tabetha gives you 'Hidden Secrets' quest to go get a book by talking to Magus Tirth at the racetrack in 1000 Needles Shimmering Flats.
3. Tirth gives you 'Get the Scoop' quest to talk to his 'assistant', Plucky Johnston, who is a chicken. As posted here in that thread, /beckon the chicken and he will become a human, talk to you and send you back to Tirth. Tirth will tell you to get the book Tabetha wants from Scarlet Monastery Library ('Rituals of Power' quest). See the thread here for location of book in SM. Take the book back to Tabetha.
4. Tabetha gives you 'Items of Power' quest - if I remember correctly, you can get this quest together with 'Hidden Secrets' and the 'Infernal Orb' one. For 'Items', kill Witherbark trolls in SE Arathi til you collect 10 Troll Sticks - these drop off any 31-35 troll there. The quest doesn't tell you to get 10 but that's what you need. Take them to the Circle of Outer Binding, with the air elementals, and clear to the center stone. Right-click the sticks in your bag while you are next to the stone, and a lightning rod pops up on the stone. Pretty soon you get the gear-wheel icon, so open the rod and get your Bramble, then take it back to Tabetha with a jade.
5. After you have done both 'Items of Power' and 'Rituals of Power', Tabetha gives you the 'Mage's Wand' quest, where you pick one of the 3 wands above.

This quest chain is separate from the chain that leads to 'Celestial Power', where you get a nice off-hand item or a staff. In that chain, you have to kill the Obsidian Sentinel in Uldaman - see my other post under that quest for a summary.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

No you cant... Choose which one would suit you best, I'd still rather use Jaina's Firestarter Wand overall.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

no because that would be gay get the one that ur soec like is what im going to do with my mage

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Can you do the quest 3 times and get all 3?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you are a fire mage, why would you pick the one that adds frost spell damage? You clearly have no idea, so i rated you 1 for being dumb.

Very simple. Like the earlier poster said. If you are a fire mage and farming fire elementals or a mob with high fire resistance, you are pretty screwed. When choosing a wand, I prefer to pick a damage type that is different from my main stuff. For a mage tbh I'd go for a shadow wand because that is a damage type we do not do. As a priest I would have picked a fire/frost or arcane wand for the same reason.

The original poster's point is valid. The guy I quoted at top is dumb because he does not see that specialization is for insects (and insects are easily crushed). Although my aspiring mage is picking talents in the fire tree, bonuses to frost magic are always handy. I see the counterpoint that if you predominantly use fire then something that boosts fire damage is beneficial, but if you are a fire mage that uses no frost magic, then you must die lots (like every time you pull bigger mobs than you intended). What is +9 with fire spells against a beasty that is fire resistant? 9 lots of nothing is what it amounts to.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong. But the guy who said 'you clearly have no idea' is clearly a gimp who has carved his build into a very small niche. Greatly lacking the versatility required to effectively combat any situation.

Generally I agree with the concept of 'boost your primaries', but for all round builds to be poopood as n00b strategy is clearly out of order.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm lvl'ing a firemage, and after what i see ppl wrote, I dont know which one i should pick. Can someone give me a hint?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

And Tabetha didn't give me the quest for this. Exactly what am I supposed to do to initiate the quest?
She just put the book on her shelf and said something about using it later.
Lvl 37, would appreciate help w/ this.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i did everything i was suppose to...i got the 3450..whatever exp and it says items of power complete and i never got the wand? not sure what happened

Kommentar von PlastKladd

You need to have turned in both Rituals of Rituals of Power and Items of Power in order to be able to open up this quest.
For some reason wowhead is saying Rituals of Power is the only prerequisite.

Kommentar von Sueka

Der Zauberstab des Magiers is the culmination of a multi-zone Magier questline, rewarding the player with the option of one of three spec-themed wands—the frost-enhancing Zauberstab des Eisfurors, the arcane Zauberstab der Netherkraft, or the fire-focused Zauberstab des Wutfeuers. All three wands are excellent for their specalizations, and remain relevant up until the highest level of content.

To access Der Zauberstab des Magiers, you must complete the questline preceding it. The two quests that Der Zauberstab des Magiers directly requires are Rituale der Macht, which takes the Magier into the Das Scharlachrote Kloster in search of a lost tome, and Gegenstände der Macht, tasking the Magier with gathering materials from the trolls of the Arathihochland to form the enchanted shaft of the wand, as well as a Jade. The completion of both these quests immediately opens access to Der Zauberstab des Magiers from Tabetha.

For a full rundown of the preceding questline, you must do as follows;

Head to any of your faction's capital city Magier trainers, and pick up Reise in die Marschen
Travel to Düstermarschen, and find Tabetha. She is in a small hut at (46.0, 57.0). Stay frosty approaching her, the house is surrounded by level 38 to level 40 monsters.
Turn in Reise in die Marschen, and pick up Verborgene Geheimnisse and Gegenstände der Macht.
Travel west out of Düstermarschen, south through Brachland, and then into the Tausend Nadeln. Walk east to the Shimmering Flats, and locate Magus Tirth in the small town.
Hand in Verborgene Geheimnisse, accept Der Knüller schlechthin, and walk across the raceway to find Eisenherz Johnson, a 'chicken'. Target him, and use the /beckon chat emote.
Speak to the now human Eisenherz Johnson, use his dialog option, and then return to Magus Tirth. Turn in Der Knüller schlechthin, and accept Rituale der Macht.
Return to the northern Eastern Kingdoms by your faction's preferred travel method, whether via the boat to Menethil Harbour, zeppelin to Tirisfal from Orgrimmar, or alternate travel methods.
Find a party, and run the Library wing of the Das Scharlachrote Kloster. At the beginning of the long hall leading up to Arkanist Doan, turn left and loot the Rituale der Macht from the bookshelf.
Once finished, travel to the Arathihochland and kill Witherbark Trolls in the zone. The best location is in the southeast of the Highlands in the Witherbark Village (at 65.0, 65.0).
Acquire a Jade somehow. Miners may receive them as random drops from ore deposits, one may drop from any number of mobs across Azeroth, or they are otherwise available from the Auction House.
Make your way back to Düstermarschen and to Tabetha's hut. Turn in Rituale der Macht and Gegenstände der Macht, accept Der Zauberstab des Magiers and allow her to engage in a brief ritual and then complete the quest, choosing your preferred wand as a reward.

Congratulations on your new wand, I hope you found the journey worth it!
