The Crystalforged War Axe is a great weapon for an MS warrior in the expansion. It's one of the few slower weapons aside from the blacksmithing epics which leads to its nice high top end. It has a lot of crit ~1.5% and an huge amount of attack power (180 for a warrior). If you haven't found anything better yet when you ding 69 go buy one of these, they are disgustingly cheap for their ability do to the very high number of mobs that drop them.

In 2.0.10, this Axe was changed from "+50 Strength" to "+50 Stamina".

Kommentar von Juggernaut

Well, i have this weapon and it has +50 str... i hope it stays that way after the patch.

The damage is massive, i have crusader on it and 2 trinkets that gives +200 AP for 10 secs and the mortals are sweet.

Kommentar von 27212

wow its still 50 str on mine but not in ah sweet!

Kommentar von Optional

best pvp? best everything, IMO. I have not found one raiding weapon that will replace it. Not even arena weapons. I don't care about my melee DPS. 1200-1300 raptor strike crits are nice enough.

Kommentar von Shada

Got this enchanted with the "old school" +25 Agility, and it's equivalent to Terrok's Quill, if not in fact better. Until Murmur decides to drop his Sonic Spear for me this is going to be the only thing I use on my hunter.

I noticed it says "This item only drops in heroic mode." but i was plowing some old quests in Shadowmoon Valley inside the Deathforge when this item dropped for me. It was on a corpse i almost forgot to loot.. so for those who quick read for drops...

UPDATE!!

Drops off NPC's inside deathforge, it was actually on one of the guards that pats with those firelord guys. the little gnome looking technician guys!

This Axe is a good Axe for a Hunter tanking of Kiggler the Crazed in the High King Maulgar fight in Gruul's Lair. With the combonation of Stam, AP , and Crit it make you be able to have more HP while being able to Keep the aggro on you and off your healers in the raid. If you going to this event and are expected it's worth the investment if it is in the AH.

Kommentar von 44030

this axe is always on the garithos horde auction house. i see at least one, one day i looked on it and say 7, all for 100 gold, so if ur interested in getin this just AH it

Heres how i see it layed out as a 70 MS warrior:

my favorite out of these, and what i'm currently using, is
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=28253#M0z

it has a slower attack speed, pumping out higher dmg on MS and whirlwind (if you go berserker stance)
along wit the direct crit rating and basic war stats i just find it the most useful out of them. its also a easy drop from a easier instance (from First boss of mechanar) its not amazingly hard too grab.

second, everyone's favorite, the Crystalforged war axe.
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=31291

Meh, i bought this for 69, and found it pretty useless. the dps is lower then most of the other weapons i had laying around. while the stats are nice (80 AP for sure) i don't think the damage is worth it in the end. Save the money and spend it on the flying mount you'll need next level.

last is the crow wing ripper, from Sethekk halls.
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=27986#M0z

This is the only one of these i have'nt gotten, it drops from the last boss of sethekk halls. while the instance is short, the drop rate on this thing gets on my nerves after awhile. I don't think this is worth running sethekk halls for, considering theres the polearm from mech at a better drop rate. it has lower end MS damage due too lower attack speed, and no direct + crit rating. while the red sockets are nice, i don't think its worth running then buying gems for.

some runner ups are https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=29329#M0z
which has low dmg with higher attack speed, but you might end up sing it at 66 since its free from a quest.

also noteworthy,
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=27903
A nice weapon too have, but pass it too a hunter if theres one in the party. like the quill its more hunter loot, agi stam and some other neat things on there for em. but its solid MS dmg and the stats could help. likely the hardest one of all these too get, being from the last boss of shadow labyrinth.

hope this all helped any indecsive warriors, and know that most of these are arguable, this just being mah opinion.

This could also be a great ret Paladin weapon!

Kommentar von 37160

This weapon is HUGE.
On a tauren i covers most of the back, and clips into the cloak.
when holding it in hand, it actually clips into the ground. See screenshots.

Kommentar von 77014

just bought this on AH with a buyout of 15g
very cheap

Kommentar von samarium

A very nice PvP weapon thanks to tons of stamina, and the crit rating just adds to its beauty.

Looks great too.

Kommentar von Oley

dropped in a heroic ramparts chest for my hunter. I took it for pvp but i kept it for all because its good but my old pol can be bought cheap *thrallmar rep one*

Kommentar von 74936

Great weapon for Hunters, especially BM Hunters who rely on pet damage. With the +crit rating, you can expect Kill Command to proc a lot more often (over Terokk's Quill). I purchased this axe out of frustration from running SLABS for the 13th time and not getting the Sonic Spear.

And, personally, I think this may be the better way to go for a BM Raid-spec Hunter.

Kommentar von 114237

For Hunters, this weapon has now pretty much been superseded by the Vengeful Gladiator's Waraxe which has the following improvements over this axe:

+12 stam
+15 hit
+19 crit
+33 res
+12 ap
+98 ignore armor.

Plus, it's only 1000 arena points.

Kommentar von 120711

This is unlike the crystalforged sword a random world drop. Even though they are both "crystalforged" they are obtained using different methods.

Kommentar von 63842

This weapon is kinda bugged on Blood Elf Female Hunter. After you have shot, the axe will be no longer shown on your back until you sheath it back.

EDIT: It happens with all axes if you are shooting with bow.

Kommentar von Dendai

I just got this drop on a Gan'ar Engineer in Netherstorm but Wowhead doesnt have it listed now or yet idk.

Kommentar von lillbrorsan

Dropped on Isle of Quel'Danas for Fluffies on Dentarg along with 3 other blue items in 5 minutes time!
Sold for 85 Gold.

Kommentar von 153790

Is this item better for hunters then the terrok quill with +54 agility and +33 stam?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This axe seems like it is like the arcanite reaper used to be. Definitely a top end blue with a deceptively low base dps rating that the stats more than make up for.

My wife found one and sent it to me! I have to level up to use it, but it should be interesting.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What kind of enchants would be good for this?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

100AP loss for a +500 health isn't a bad tradeoff at all IMO. Sure might hit for a bit less, but just add on savagery and with the stam you can get it a few more hits before you die.

Also: Picked up for 70g today. Got it on ally side, Horde had it for 160g >_<.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I picked it up the other day from ah for 100g. Yes thats right, 100 measley gold pieces. I made that 100g back in grinding 1 level. This axe gives you 180AP which making it essentially a 104 DPS weapon, better than the HWL 2h axe.

Selling this Axe on Senjin server, horde side. Msg Morgol if interested, serious offers only please.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just paid 30 gold for it on Eitrigg lol.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just bought this for 260g on Bronze Dragonflight, quite pleased with it seeing as 180 AP on 1 weapon alone is insane, combined with the high end dps and crit rating, this with my respecced +5% crit Axe warrior will surely out perform any other weapon i find for a long time.

Although.. i'm steadtily gaining mats for Lunar Crescent

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Bought it for 27g on AH. Prices going down

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Sold on Hydraxis AH for 75G, looted from a chest in Heroic Ramparts, cheers!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Woo, the "Cooling Infernal" drop rate has finally shown its face! It's where I got mine on Friday! :D

/70 warrior, and loving every bit of every execute with that sucker

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I saw this axe in the trade the other day and had to get it. yeah it was a little pricey because it came with savagery, but who could not drool over 150 AP?(casters, don't answer that question)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

0.42% chance of drop by Netherocks is pretty damn high for such a valuable weapon....

Kommentar von Allakhazam

These things are too common =/

They're going for anywhere from 30-50g on our server, with 5-6 listed most of the time. I have 2 I need to sell but I can't get rid of them. Kinda surprising, it's a pretty nice axe.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just bought mine off AH for...75g....O_O I'm as shocked as you are right now. You know what I just find so unbelievable right now? I paid 75g for a 90 DPS lvl 69 Rare Axe... and shelled out 130g for a lvl 19, 15 DPS Rare for my twink...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

well until i get a better weapon through arena points- i kept this on my 70 hunter with savagery :D +sta and +AP is great :D too many people selling it though >.< very low prices in AH atm.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Crow Wing Reaper is still better though, mainly because of its 3 sockets.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lol someone tried to sell this for 600 gold. he tried to get 600% profit lol. this is blue so it should be 50-150g not 600 :S

Edited, Feb 1st 2007 3:53am by smokeyxxx

Kommentar von Allakhazam

+50 strength has from 2.0.10 patch today changed to +50 stam. And Im very glad because I got the drop today on my 68 hunter. I like the new stats, but feel for the warriors that lose 100 AP.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I recently found one while grinding, I'm willing to sell it for a fair price on Skullcrusher Horde (US), otherwise I'm keeping for my alt but I rather give it to a main. PST Wrathamus or Voruk in game.

Dropped for me today off an engineer at Legion Hold \o/

How do you get to the cooling dudes? i can't find them. I've looked for them, it looks like they're underground. pls help!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The change from STR to STAM really lowered the price of this axe. On my server, you'd be lucky if you can push it off for 70 g. If you're buying, you'll have no trouble finding someone to sell it ~60 g.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got this at manaforge Ara from a Sunfury Nethermancer female. Man, it's kinda hard even for me to believe because it's such a rare item to get from them. too bad it's soulbound now, because I could have gotten some good gold for it :)

To vashrad: If I were you I'd put some str in it, because I love melee :)

Just dropped for me from a phase hunter in Netherstorm while doing the quest 'Recharging the batteries'.
Would have loved it a lvl ago but I'm close to getting dual epics so I'm gonna sell it :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

180 AP on this thing for a warrior, thats huge.

Need to get one asap~

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I personally don't mind the tradeoff of 500 more HP vs 100 more attack power. You can live a little longer.

Bought it yesterday for my warrior, 99g.

It's kind of silly how an axe like this can be purchased on the AH for less than 180g when it's on par with the level 70 High Warlord Decapitator, which merits a tidy amount of Honor grinding.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

not less than 7 of these on ah today....ranging from 58 to 230g a piece....ofc I bought the one for 58 for my warrior...:-)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just dropped for me by a Level 70 Sunfury Blood Knight at Manaforge Ara!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Shame they changed the STR to stam, it was a really good and easy to acquire high DPS weapon because of the 100 extra AP. It is still alright, but its more of a dedicated PvP weapon now, and also nice for hunters.

Kommentar von Thottbot

arms warrior here, just dinged 69, this axe is amazing, it's gotta be like the best BoE axe there is for an arms warrior. High wep damage, crazy attack power addition. My gear is still mostly green but I'm doing 1k white damage crits and almost 2k mortal strike crits. 3 shotting mages and priests.

Edit: paid 150g BO on Maelstrom

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got blind drunk, saw someone selling it for 200g, bought it outright, finally hit 69 last night and have been using it all today.. it is well worth every copper peice i payed for it IMO.. High damage, high ap, and crit rating. just reached 1,349AP unbuffed, i crit hard and often like a machine.. this axe is gg, apart from the texturing of it, i have 0 complaints at all! Use and Love.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Aside from this axe looking like a giant lollipop it is quite an amazing thing to weild.

I have a fairly standard Arms build with Axe specialty (duh) and I can't begin to explain how easily I tear through mobs.

I was questing in shadowmoon the other night and wasn'taying attention to where I was going in one of the camps and ended up with 6 mobs jumping me almost at once. So I pulled my "Oh Crap!" and fired off retaliation and sweeping stike.

Before this axe my hope in those situations was to take out 2 or 3 mobs and then try to crawl off the aggro while the mobs followed and beat on me. Now? 6 dead mobs before retaliation wore off. That is crazy DPS.

So I was all excited and did a more manageable pull of 4 mobs and fired sweeping strike, switched to Berserk and got off two whirlwinds before sweep wore off... total damage dealt? hovering close to 20,000.

LOVE!

I was doing some calculations based on the information that I found about hunter attribute scaling.

I compared Crystalforged War Axe with the lvl69 green polearm, Hellfire War Spear of the Bandit. If I have the correct info about hunter attributes (couldn't find anything official, this info is gathered from different sites) the stats on these two weapons should benefit the hunter and his/her pet as follows:

Crystalforged War Axe:
+ 1,2% chance to crit
+ 50 stamina --> + 15 pet stamina
+ 80 attack power --> + 18 pet attack power & + 10 pet spell dmg

Hellfire War Spear of the Bandit:
+ 28 agility:

+ 0,7% chance to crit

+ 1,1% chance to dodge

+ 56 armor --> + 20 pet armor

+ 28 attack power --> + 6,2 pet attack power & + 3,5 pet spell dmg

+ 43 stamina --> + 13 pet stamina
+ 57 attack power --> + 13 pet attack power & + 7,1 pet spell dmg

So it seems that the polearm gives more attack power, more armor, only slightly less stamina and about 0,5% less chance to crit. So as a BM hunter based on this I would get the 5-30G polearm any day over this axe.

Please let me know it there is something wrong about the calculations, since I'm no math genius :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

As a hunter I thought I'd throw in my opinion about this axe...

Sonic Spear is a popular pick for hunters, if you're willing to run Shadow Lab. It gives:
+35 agility
+30 stamina
+hit rating
+62 attack power
The agility is nice for PvP as well as PvE, and the +hit rating is a must for PvE/raiding. However, I don't see +hit rating of the up-most importance in PvP.

Crystalforged War Axe, the lollipop, offers:
+50 stamina
+crit rating
+80 attack power
I personally find this to be better for PvP. You can throw a Mongoose enchant (occasional +120 agility with attack spped increase) on it and have it surpass the Sonic Spear. This can proc off ranged attacks as well. OR you could place a +35 agility on there and have equal agility to the spear. Plus the fact that it gives more attack power, as well as a +crit rating over a +hit rating.

However, this is coming from a Marks hunter wanting to go Survival's opinion.

Seeing that I rotate PvP to PvE quite often, I also keep my Hellscream's Will handy with a Savagery enchant (+70 attack power). It's for sheer attack power; I use it for hard and steady DPS (ie: for groups).

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have this on my shaman lvl 70 added crusader on it for extra strength goes well wiht tier 6 anyway worth buying or grinding it

Kommentar von Thottbot

BE WARNED: this axe looks nice, seems good, looks...tasty, and compaired to the honed voidaxe, it rocks...but u probably wont notice a hugh difference from the voidy, I got mine for 55 gold and i think it was worth it, but don't pay more. Good luck, looks good on dwarves btw, and pushes my dps to 177.1 unbuffed Arms warrior

Kommentar von Thottbot

Bought it for 150g on the Alliance AH on Exodar. I paid too much but they aren't commonly available on my server. Prices will probably be higher on newer and lower populated servers.

Good hunter weapon, now I'm saving up to get a + agility enchantment on it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I as a hunter really love this ax, got it fir 25g in the ah on uldum, the damage bonuses i get from it are sick, i generally top the dps meter no matter where i go.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Bought for 28g on AH. Sold for 60g to a guy.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Yeah that weapon is worth about 50G's but you made someone happy!

Kommentar von Thottbot

paid 150g for this, put a lame +7 wep dmg on it since i knew i wouldnt use it for long. camped at 69, got my hunter pvp set and trinket, then did shadow labs for about 3 days and replaced it w/ sonic spear. But this axe is still great if you plan on doing other things before Slabs

Kommentar von Thottbot

yes we allknow this axe is smexy..but me a 67 hunter saw one hunter w/ savagery on it and another w/ +35agi, me personally would rather have the savagery, just puttin this out there for others to talk about, or that say otherwise....
by the way they were both MM
ps to the guy above me i believe,.....150g for this? on my server is no more than 50g( Bonechewer PvP)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm still using it thru first 6 bosses in Kara. It's a great weapon. Put savagery on it, it's worth it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

what's better for BM hunter Crystalforged War Axe or https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=28923/schmerzenssäge-des-obersten-kriegsfürsten ? what do u think?

Kommentar von Thottbot

would this axe be better than Terrok's quill?

Kommentar von Thottbot

yes, this would definitely be better than terrok's quill. I had terrok up until a little while ago. Then i found this for 60g on the AH. As a hunter, this is better than Terrok's quill

Kommentar von Thottbot

As being a hunter myself I had to pick this sucker up off the AH for a cheap 50 gold.. However I hope to replace it with the Sonic spear that NEVER drops. Just a simple savagery on this and it is a nice weapon for any hunter and any other class.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got this in a Khorium Lockbox, along with some leather shoulders.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Not gonna lie, bought this beast on Illidan for 20g.
It's my main pvp weapon, until I come across Legacy. Such ownage amounts of stam.

Kommentar von Thottbot

im on illidan too and i bought this axe for 25gs. its worth it!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I killed Envoy Icarius from the quest "To kill a thistlehead" thinking I was going to get some cash and the quest item. Not only did I get those, but this axe drops...nice weapon for a thistlehead. I think I might just not turn in this quest but keep asking for more packages of bloodthistle :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just came from a chest in Steam Vault instance. Chest was right next to where the pool for the kara key frag is.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Bought it off AH last night for 25g on Lightninghoof server. What a steal!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Bought this on my Hunter when I dinged 69. Got it enchanted with 35 Agility. Replaced it with a Sonic Spear which I got a few weeks after I hit 70.

There really shouldn't be a debate as to whether this is better than the Spear. For PvP, the added HP isn't huge (150). IMO, the hit rating on the spear is a lot better than 150 health and should not be overlooked. Missing a Scatter or Silencing Shot can be GG.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I bought mine for 33g at AH. Havent used it yet though, cuz im only lvl 53

Kommentar von Thottbot

just bought mine 40g, only level 67 tho:(
bloody nice axe.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Good axe looks pretty cool just sometimes the cost..... lowest atm is 50g at ah good for stanima my lvl 69 hunters got it

=)

Kommentar von Thottbot

This axe is absolutelly fantastic. Its great for Arms Warriors and Hunters.

Arms Warriors benifit from from the Highend DPS and Stamina is awsome.

Hunters, well the Axe is generally good for normal grinding and instance runs, but it excels for PvP Hunters as aside from the PvP rewards there is nothing with better stats than this.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I also got it off a water elemental in skettis.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i bought 2 of these yesterday on my sever. they had a buy out of 35g each. so i bought them both, equiped one on my hunter and reposted the other one for 85g. what do you know... i just made my money back.

But for all who are trying to "find" this.... have fun. its a random drop. i have seen it drop twice on my pally in different CFR instances. So just go to your local AH and buy it out. Great pre raiding axe IMO, and yes... i would say it is a great HUNTER weapon. lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got this for 40g for my hunter...nice atk power bonus and the stamina is killer too

Kommentar von Thottbot

got it, hunter, im not yet 69 thou. 35g. but i think ill sell it and get terokk'quill because it gives agility and im survival which gives me 15% more of it. +a lot more crit chance. ill lose some AP thou but with +35 agi ill be fine as a 69 twinky

Kommentar von Thottbot

just dropped from a mob in shadowmoon today and 4 mobs after THE NIGHT WATCHMAN dropped then a green 1h axe. it was a VERY good day for me :P

Kommentar von Thottbot

Nearly every hunter on my server has one of these for pvp. It's got all sorts of nice stats that a hunter could want. Shame on the missing agility, but that aside it's a great weapon as you near the end of your leveling journey on the way to getting a Terokk's Quill or Sonic Spear.

My only complaint is that is seriously looks like like a nerf toy with all those colors. Still, this thing kicks, especially since it is common (On my server at least), so lots of 70's just beginning their pvp quests sport this with a Valanos'.

This is a great weapon. There are awesome weapons out there, but for the ammount of work you have to do for this one, there are few decent weapons that are easier to get.
