Prot pallies with decentish gear can probably solo thunderfury bosses, rags might be abit impossible. In BC, bosses enemies who appear as skull level always automatically count as three levels above whatever you are. The fact that you disagree does not make it opinion. The drop rate does not change. We are not so powerful yet that we can solo the raids. You sure are slow.
Since you can't wear the bindings and you don't have to use them to complete the quest, it has no effect on them except to "hint" at which classes could actually see some sort of benefit from the quest reward. The sword itself has no class requirements, and the questline does not have any class restrictions so every class is capable of completing the questline to receive the sword in their inventory, and any sword-wielding class can equip it.
My theory is that 15 years ago when no one actually knew what this was, the tooltip was just a guide for the MS to not waste it on any other class You kidding? Besides i really doubt it that any Guild would give dropped Bindings to any mage. This site makes extensive use of JavaScript. Please enable JavaScript in your browser. Live PTR. Classic TBC. Comment by Can i got Feast of Strength for it if i am Druid? Comment by rospy guys i have a problem Solonas warrior from stormscale u can add me and speak to me here and in to the game Comment by pizzakid Just finally finished this baby tonight, it being my second legendary.
I'm currently dueling it with the offhand warglaive of azzinoth on my warrior Giancarlo on Scarlet Crusade :. Comment by Quick question, In Cataclysm, since Blackrock Spire and Molten Core and everything is blowing up, will this weapon and quest still be obtainable. Will the Molten Core instance be gone?
Comment by Evading my grasp playing a Night Elf hunter in Vanilla and then Moving onto another server and then another eventual faction reroll along with ANOTHER server and then another server and another server, I've finally gotten to say that I have both bracers. Comment by Bababooeyhs Okay. I created an account just to add my 2c. After roughly months of weekly farming I completed Thunderfury.
I bought all the elementium ore off the AH for g each and spammed trade for someone that could smelt it. I got my first binding off Garr about a month in. I just got the one off Geddon last night. Solo'd MC for the essence. Every other second mobs are engulfed in tornadoes and zapped. It's really cool looking. I was debating whether or not I was going to quit WoW and told myself I would if Geddon's binding didn't drop this week.
Oddly enough.. I had to equip a new pair of pants irl. Hang in there if you're farming this! It's worth it. Didn't have any threat problems. I love this thing! Uploaded a picture on here also. Edit again Finally, Sunday night, I got the last binding I needed. I'll agree with what others have said: you just have to keep farming. My first binding dropped from Baron Geddon about a year and a half ago and since then it's been a minute MC run ever since.
Things are much easier now in regards to the other mats. Elementium ore still represents a hurdle but a good group and some smart Auction House watching will serve you well. Really it's the binding drop rate that will frustrate you more than anything. There are times you think you'll abandon the quest. You'll rant to friends, GM's and anyone who will listen. In then end it doesn't matter. It's about playing the odds and plugging away at the runs, week after week, until you get what you need.
Someone last night asked why I was using it as my offhand when there were better items available. My reply: "Because I have it. Good luck! You will need at least two players to defeat the first boss, Razorgore the Untamed.
This encounter cannot be soloed due to the mechanics of the fight where one player must Mind Control Razorgore and hatch all the eggs in the room. Another player must protect Razorgore and not allow him to die. You will need this plan to Smelt Elementium. Auction Houses Check out both faction's auction halls: If you find a good deal on an opposite faction's auction hall: Have another player meet you at any neutral auction house, such as Booty Bay to trade them.
Tips on Arcanite Bars : If you can't find any on the auction halls, you'll find yourself looking a good spot to farm Arcane Crystals , which are needed to transmute. The best place I found is in Dire Maul East. After you kill Alzzin the Wildshaper , an exit cave will open. In that cave, there are a few nodes that may or may not contain Arcane Crystals. I found this to be quick because you can rush straight to him and the mining nodes are always there.
Sometimes you'll get lucky and there will be a Arcane Crystal in each one It's random so keep the faith and grind away. Comment by Deactivated It is easy to get the bindings you need to be committed. I ran MC every week for over a year and I finally got the two bindings. Because each Binding is a 3. BWL is not over hard, it can be 3 manned, but you will need to follow strats for the 1st and 2nd bosses.
Ebonroc is the only other boss that you need to follow strat. When your turn in all four items in Silithis, the world boss will spawn, but he only has just iver K hp. He will drop the raw sword, you hand it in and get Thuderfury. Image Here. Comment by dk I got both bindings in my first ever MC run solo dk, the bars took me a week to get a run of BWL and ah ores.
I thought getting the bars was the hardest part but after reading the above comments, i was extremely lucky. Comment by this would be awesome for a 60 twink. Comment by Both binding dropped in my run today, I only needed the left one. Well I still didnt kill Rag. PS : first time in over 5 years gameplay I see 2 bindings drop in the same run. Comment by For achievement you need to receive sword, quest reward. I've got my achievement in the moment that i receive quest item.
Recorded my event and it's on youtube atm. Comment by LuckyBandit Everyone is gonna down rate me for this but idc, got both halves in one run. Comment by Chromell Finished the quest for Thunderfury one week ago with my paladin and just received the feat of strength upon equipping the sword. I still am farming both Bindings on my mage though.
A must have for any collector in the game. I also am farming the materials for the Sulfuron Hammer on my mage, given I already have the Eye, and was concerned about getting the feat due to mages being unable to equip maces. Worried about this, I ticketed a GM and got the response they are working to fix this issue.
I got this answer before the latest patch and I speculate classes that cannot equip the weapons will be granted the feat of strength upon receiving the item.
Comment by LuckyBandit I believe it used to be that way but when the patch hit that lets you trade things around to members in the raid they changed it so as an example the Grand Black War Mammoth couldnt be passed around the raid so everyone could get the Feat of Strength. Comment by weezel Just completed my second Thunderfury on my Death-knight. Comment by Wrok hey, just wanted to make something clear. Comment by Last week, I got my first binding off Geddon.
This week, I got the other binding off Garr. Took 4 weeks to get both since I started going to MC. I got all the mats this week as well including the ores. I had to buy the last 4 ores from Alliance side since Horde side was low on supply and the one person that told me he had 4 ores wanted 1k each for them. But I did get the sword.
Put the tanking 1h rune on it for DKs and went to Wintergrasp to play with it. Had fun. Then went to Heroic Nexus to tank with it. I held agro pretty well. I just need alittle more hit to lower the number of times I missed. Overall, I am glad I got it. Cost alot in mats for the ores, but well worth it. Comment by nemspyda Did they change the droprate on these bindings? I just solo cleared MC on my bear and had both bindings drop in the same run Shame I apparently need to equip Thunderfury for the FoS.
Comment by notbear I've seen a mage with this. Comment by Just got this a week ago, Lovely weapon Indeed. Comment by I've been at this for 34 weeks on 2 characters. I never intended to even try for this but on a random pug I won a binding on a lvl 60 alt pally off of Baron oct I read a few forums and found this was easily soloable at So I started to solo Garr each week on my pally, and both Garr and Baron on my main warrior.
Last week I scored Garr's binding on my pally and this week just now I got Baron's binding for my Warrior! Back to back weeks of creating thunderfury! I was solo'ing Garr on my pally ret spec'd healing myself as art of war procs and solo'ing baron with FR gear on my warrior in zerker stance using a blood thirst glyph. Glad I got this all done before Cataclysm - rumored to be removing MC since rag was moving. Comment by Vyxarael Got both bindings and finally the sword after 11 MC clears.
Comment by Neroh Just got the right half of Thunderfury from Garr on my Death knight, can't wait for Baron to drop the left half so I can wield this awesome sword. Comment by Faell Quest Line This item is the final reward of a challenging and very expensive quest line, which can be started by a hunter, paladin, rogue, or warrior.
Comment by pogiman Finally equipped this weapon after years of farming. It was well worth the time. Comment by bennymoo18 For everyones information now you do NOT get the Achievment for completing this quest only Equipping it gives the Feat of Strength Comment by I submitted an image I made with caps of 12 enchants on Thunderfury.
From the dressing room This was the 1 thing I came here looking for and didn't find many in the screenshots, so I hope someone get's use out of it. I have a feeling it wont be added but I uploaded it to image shack as well. Comment by With the coming back of Rag and his raid, maybe we can see this sword come back? An improved one for level 85 tanks.
Comment by Chromell I wonder if Al'Akir will emote anything if a raid member wields this during the encounter it was informed he will be a fightable boss in Cata like Medivh's father reacts if someone in the group has his son's staff.
Comment by Sethaku I swear I saw this sword and it was orange Same goes for Thunderfury, if the Left Bindings can finally drop, I'm waiting for Cata to finish it and give my guild the achievement. It happened to us last night, and we were in total shock! Working on getting weapons created as we speak :D. Comment by I got that on my Warr The ores will you find in Blackwing Lair called Elementium ores, can't really remember the mats needed to craft the bars :.
A guy in Blackwing Lair drops the recipe you need mining for it. Comment by Have had one binding for a long long time. Went to solo MC as usual this week Both bindings dropped. And The Eye. Already had Garr's binding and have Sulfuras. My brother was pissed. Comment by Kayinu Surprisingly i got both my bindings during that period as well. Went into MC on a tuesday, got the binding from Baron, went again the next day after the reset, and Garr's dropped.
I still easily pull k TPS as a prot warr in heroics with mostly gear. It's an absolute blast, it made tanking heroics a lot more enjoyable, i actually enjoy doing HoR now. I do about k Revenge crits with this thing, whereas with my Marrowgar mace i pull about k revenge crits.
Comment by Hannes37 Guide to getting Thunderfury. You can just get both before you start the quest if you want 2. Go with them to Highlord Demitrian in Silithus and talk to him, you will get a vessel you have to select the chat options before you get it , which you right-click and then return to Highlord Demitrian. Return with all of the materials to Highlord Demitrian, in which turn he will summon Thundeeran on the plains behind you.
Kill Thundeeran, he will drop his sword as a quest item, which you then right-click on for a quest. Comment by 3clipse Still one of the coolest looking weapons in game imo. Comment by I'm looking at the 10th screenshot, and I see a humanoid tiger form. How does that happen? Comment by goldtail did some1 say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?
Comment by daihe Thunderfury is proof enough that two-handed weapon should be bigger! Comment by Himinbjorg Was fortunate enough to get it on my Rogue, finally. Did MC with a Resto Shammy friend. Garr dropped it on run number 2 and Geddon on run number 5. I farmed the thing for months on my warrior, but never got any binding.
I actually made this post to let other Rogues know that Thunderaan is easily soloable with Recuperate, did as Assassination without any glyphs just logged after patch day, did a quick spec and ran there to finish the quest.
Comment by Cronus After patch 4. Comment by Skaree As of 4. Comment by Ringkeeper Weapon was nerfed in Patch 4. The additional Natur-Damage was removed and it was nerfed to Comment by I am a lvl 66 hunter on the realm Terrokar and i have the right Binding, All the elementium, and the essence of the firelord. Cataclysm comes out in about a month give or take a week and i am worried that Either the quest giver in silthis will be removed so i cant summon thunderaan or MC will be removed so i cant get other binding.
If the quest giver is removed what will happen to the quest in my log and if mc is removed what will happen to the quest also. Plz help I really want TF! Comment by i only need left bindings as this m8,have evrything else,and also i have sulfuras,hand of ragnaros. Comment by did someone say Comment by Mataza Cannot be Reforged.
Comment by Got my last hilt after maybe 30 runs. My First Legendary! Comment by As of Patch 4. The sword itself is now a noticeably darker tone. Comment by Fumble Just got the second binding and finished Thunderfury. Patch 4. The NPC for the Thunderfury quest is still located in the northwest corner of Silithus and the quest remains unchanged and Thunderfury still obtainable for anyone who was still unsure.
Comment by gtajedi I made a ticket about the nerf and was told if I didnt like it to make a suggestion on the forums to revert it to its original status. So, I made another ticket complaining about the 1st ticket and asking for a proper answer. Lo and Behold.. You should still experience close to previous performance with the blade as the proc is triggered quite often. Not conclusive but I couldnt be bothered to sit there for swings.
The proc hit for and crit for The proc crit rate matched my own crit rating exactly. Comment by Myebika I play with a friend i met online about a year ago. We only know each other through wow; i'm 24, he's I tought him the basics of wow and we just kept playing together, i helped him get into raids and stuff.
He doesn't do the best dps out there but he enjoys raiding and sadly people don't invite him much; so i organize pugs to get him a spot. About 6 months ago, i offered a chopper to him for his birthday. He was so happy, he wanted to give me a gift for my birthday too. Sadly, i have pretty much everything, i got a good guild into hard modes, and a few gold capped characters. Jokingly, i told him that getting my second binding geddon for my birthday would be really awesome.
Obviously he didn't really know what it was, so he said ''omg i'll get it for you for your birthday '' I chuckled a little bit and said it's fine you don't have to :P Time went by, i ended up transfering server, he couldn't get money to transfer to he decided to start a paladin on my server.
He slowly leveled, i ran him a few instances, but surely he was getting closer to At the same time, my birthday was getting closer and closer. Meanwhile, i had been soloing molten core for about 18 months, with no luck with the binding. Eventually, he hit 80, he was so happy. We ran a few randoms to gear him, did toc a few times, etc.
The next tuesday, 2 days before my birthday, i decided to bring him to MC with me. We cleared some trash, killed a few bosses, and finally ended up pulling geddon. He died swiftly, but my friend died to living bomb. There it was, the binding i had been looking for for so long. After 2 years of farming, it was there, on the loot table. My friend, completely unaware what that meant and how much luck was involved simply said "you see? When i think back about it, i can't help but wonder how it happened, and how happy he made me, just as i did when i offered him his motorcycle.
So there you have it, the story of the little guy who called a binding drop 6 months in advance. Edit: Fast forward 2 years and 8 months, I still play the game, and i grew closer to my friend this story is about.
Unfortunately, he drowned in his pool last weekend. Since this little story grew so popular on Wowhead I'd like to use this opportunity to tell you guys how awesome he was, and how much fun I had playing this game with him.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, and anyone who ever had the chance to know how kind and joyful he was. I'm gonna miss you Matt. Edit 2: Hi there; it's me again. I'm writing this sobbing like a girl. I just wanted to mention that this story was brought up on the wow subreddit forum and I was in tears reading the comments and seeing how much support there is out there. I can't thank you guys enough. I got a few messages asking who I was and if I still played.
My characters are now Pineapples, Turbocat, and Healthbar still on zul'jin. If you'd like to say hi, drop me a message! Comment by Dear WoW, I think, as most people who used this at its best, would love you reentering this for the Blackwing Decent raid as another epic weapon that will take alot to get.
Comment by Just completed my Thunderfury today on my 85 mage in Cataclysm. Not to anger anyone out there who's spent months on this but, I got my right binding on the first run, and my left binding on my 3rd run.
I had never really expected to get the bindings both so easily, so I had no other mats prepared. I promptly spent 5k gold in the AH and completed the quest. Totally useless on a level 85, and on a mage even more I love it. Comment by Got both bindings in 1 run. First run with my DK.
Was really crazy as the chances of that actually happening seem almost impossible. Now just to get all that ore. Comment by kingbillyman Think they have increased the drop rate of the bindings got mine in about four runs and to be honest am having more trouble getting the Elementium Ingots to drop than I did with the bindings. Comment by Hamanis So finally after 9 or so months of farming for the 2nd binding to drop from Garr I finally got it the week of Christmas!
Was pretty happy to not have to make that weekly trip for the binding anymore, I just have to kill everything each week now the Eye of Sulfuras to finish my Hammer -.
Quite humorous x3. But then it happened. I got my second binding from Garr! I went into a state of satisfaction of wich i've never felt before. I pressed on, looking in my bags through the entire time. As I killed Ragnaros Yeah, you geussed it right, the Eye dropped too! I bow down to the WoW-gods, and thank them. Anyway, what I wanted to say was that, for the guild achievement, you don't need to wear the item, but for the Feat of Strength you need to be able to equip it.
Comment by Is this weapon able to be dual wielded anymore. I though there used to be screenshots with people dual wielding this weapon before? Using this bad baby in populated pulls succesfully. If you have one in your bank, take it and use it a little, is fun as allways. Comment by anyone have a preferred off hand weapon for this for role playing purposes? Oh how dangerously annoying it was. It started off as a joke, when Death Knights first came out. I might even get Thunderfury," my friend said.
I thought it was funny, but suddenly I began to think. I looked up the materials, having started at the same time BC had began, I had no idea what the hell they were. Whatever, you know. I'll try to collect them. My friend, however, had not been kidding. He told me what needed to be done, and told me I could have Thunderfury after him.
I didn't care, I figured it'd be easy. I was sad. I run Molten Core, trying to finish off Sulfuras, seeing as how I had half the materials alone from trying to farm Thunderfury. With 5 Elementium Bars in my bag, I thought the day would never happen.
It dropped. Binding of the Windseeker from Garr. I tactfully pee'd myself, slung that over my shoulder and picked up the quest. From then on.. Game on. And I was happy. It was another year of sporadically trying to kill Baron Geddon with a friend when finally I gave up.
I gave up for a month or two. Afterall, rumors in Cata said that Molten Core was going away anyway. When I discovered I was wrong, it was about to go down. I tried again. Level 83 DK, trying to solo Baron Geddon. Yeah, that didn't go well. Gave it a try at 85, with my friend. No go. But then something amazing happened. For two years I had been trying to solo Baron Geddon, but now it was possible. I knew it was.
Had my friend not been there I would have the most epic battle with Baron Geddon and the most worth it kill ever. Well, I was alone. It was me, and Geddon. I death gripped the fool, and fought him for a few minutes, before he finally preformed his last service for Ragnaros. I told my friends that this was it, and looted. There before me was the apple of my eye for 2 straight years.
After such, I ran down to Silithus with two friends and killed Thunderaan like a champ, taking Thunderfury for my own. Comment by Rippersport Still the best looking weapon ingame, and will forever be..
Comment by Feato This got nerfed recently. Now has 10 less dps and is outclassed by heirlooms at level 60 :S ofcourse not in any other way than the pure dps stat on the weapon, but it is still kind of sad! Comment by hintofbasil Upon receiving this weapon you will receive the guild achievement Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker - Guild Edition. However to achieve Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker the player must wield the weapon.
This means classes that can't wield swords can still get their guild the achievement, but can not get themselves the feat of strength. Comment by i just got bindings of the wind seeker the left half on my priest when me and a friend were doin it for achievment i was just wondering if anyone could tell me if its worth getting the other mats and pieces needed for the quest chain or is this a waits of time doing.
Comment by Kazzo Every class can get it. But priests, druids and shamans can't equip it unfortenately. Comment by pipboy Could anyone explain in detail why this weapon was nerfed?
It just doesn't make any sense. This weapon even with the proc is no longer prioritized for a level 60 twink at all. They made a legendary weapon inferior.
Comment by durenas I, a ret paladin, duoed Razorgore with a rogue I suspect he's assassination. The rogue did the mind control thing while I took care of all the adds. After that, the rogue bid me adieu, and I went on to solo the entire rest of the instance. Comment by Gulanga Would be nice to have a screenshot of someone defeating Al'Akir with this, his son's , sword.
I still like to use it in big pulls amusing when people freaks out at me for using a 60 level sword whithout really caring if I maintain the threat yes or not , but since Mongoose has losed some kick, I'm thinking about changing to another tanking enchant, but preferably one whose graphics blend nice with the weapon. Any suggestion? Even if you don't like the idea that someone is actually still using it, please let's just maintain this on the fashion sense.
Comment by itszutak One of the recent updates 4. I recommend people who care about this put in a bug report. It also broke the shaders on the sphere below A'Dal, but not as many people care about that. Comment by Xanca This is one the best looking weapons in the game.
In my opinion. Comment by Mcflurries I pair my Thunderfury with Ravencrest's Legacy in my vanity set, though since it is no longer available, you will have to settle for Maladath, Runed Blade of the Black Flight : And no weapon enchant makes these look better than Mongoose.
Comment by After over 4 years from getting the binding from Geddon, I finally received the Binding from Garr yesterday. I tried tanking Heroics with it at level 85 and had difficulty, then I stacked a ton of expertise and the next heroic I did I held aggro fairly easily AOE tanking, rarely dropping aggro but for a split second here or there if someone hit a mob before I got to it or burst dps'ed a mob other than skull.
After so much time and effort trying to get this weapon, I'm not going to let it sit in the bank. I also put Accuracy on the weapon. It was worth it, but I would never do it again the frustration of not seeing the binding week after week wasn't fun, I kind of can barely believe I actually have the weapon now because it took so long. Of course I won't raid with it though, but I'll admit I would if they would let me.
I love the proc, it procs constantly. Seems to almost always proc after I rush in, Rend, Thunderclap then Shockwave, sometimes twice. Seeing all the mobs you just cleaved get enveloped in a tornado is pretty cool : Note: After getting some better gear and raising attack power, absolutely no issues tanking with it as a Warrior at Comment by What's this, a legendary sword wielded by the son of an Elemental Lord?
I'll give you 12g for it. Comment by If you have this weapon for looks why would you enchant it? There needs to be a way to un enchant a weapon.
As far as I know there isn't. For some reason I want to see what it would look like with power torrent enchanted on it. Comment by Whats the best enchant for this weapon? Comment by Peso Patch 1. Comment by That1tallguy Not that anyone in their right mind would, but can you DE legendaries? Comment by degre Also, if you're worried about the proc's effect, imp t-clap has the exact same effect. If your tanks don't have this, they should consider going back to tanking school.
Comment by Sorenxz For those currently farming this item for Transmog purposes I would stop now. Blizz has released that Legendaries can NOT be transmoged. So they are just shiny items meant to take up a bank slot and collect more dust. Comment by For those currently farming this item for Transmog purposes I would stop now. Comment by as of 4. Comment by Feebie When i Got my Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker and my Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros i noticed that i got the guild Achievment before the actual feat of strength achievment which i got when i equipped them I think it's very important to know that if noone in the raid can use the glaives or any other legendary simply raidroll them because the guild the character is in will earn the guild achievment for the legendary weapon if the character is at the required reputation level with the guild.
Comment by vuktadic Got my right binding yesterday garr's binding after 4 weeks of farming : now to farm for the other one :D. Comment by Synrithh Happy to say that today I got this wonderful item after 52, yes 52 weeks, all I can say is finally! If you won't give up you will eventually get it! So keep clearing Molten Core every reset! Comment by Deckven I decided to farm some rare classic schemes in June'11 and got Gedon's binding during 2nd run. I really did not intend to farm for TF.
But after that I decided to do it and constantly visited MC since June. Perhaps, I missed 3 or 4 lockouts.
