It's Time To Get Wolfbane... The Most Powerful Paladin Weapon In WoW Forever
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video focuses on obtaining Wolfbane, a legendary weapon available to Horde paladins at level 20 that serves as the counterpart to the Alliance's Veraraggan's Fist. Although Veraraggan's Fist is often celebrated for being accessible early in a player's career, the narrator argues that Wolfbane is significantly superior and more optimized. The quest begins in Fenris Isle after an escort mission where the paladin saves Lumina Windsinger from a corrupted creature known as a Wargan. This event sets up a narrative of vengeance, as the player must help Lumina track down and kill "Old Fire Eye," a particularly resilient and magical Wargan that refuses to die, which requires a specially crafted blade capable of countering its dark magic.
To forge this weapon, the player must gather three specific rare materials: enchanted moon silver ingots found in Shadow Fang Keep, white stone oak lumber obtained from Dead Mines, and a purified core gem retrieved from Black Fathom Deeps. The video highlights the difficulty of these locations, noting that Shadow Fang Keep is a challenging instance for low-level characters due to high-level bosses and mechanics like threat resets. During the raid, the narrator encounters unexpected bugs where blue-quality gear drops too easily, suggesting potential issues with level 20 gearing in the beta version of the game. Despite these challenges, the team successfully acquires all necessary components to proceed to the blacksmith.
The final step involves taking the gathered materials to a weaponsmith in Tarren Mill to create the base blade, which is then brought back to Lumina for her to infuse with magic. The resulting weapon, Wolfbane, boasts impressive statistics including 105 top-end damage and a unique ability that deals three times as much damage to wolves and Wargans. The narrator expresses great satisfaction with the final product, praising its vanilla aesthetic and powerful effects against its specific targets. The video concludes with the successful completion of the quest line, positioning Wolfbane as one of the best weapons available for level 20 paladins in the current beta environment.

So everybody, let's talk about this. I'm
finally level 20. I'm finally level 20.
And what happens whenever you're level
20, you get access to Usually people
don't do it quite at level 20. It's it's
like the first level that you you have
access to it. But Veraraggan's Fist,
it's like this legendary weapon, right?
It's like the big paladin weapon that
you get. And it's funny cuz it's not
actually like the best most optimized
weapon, but people talk about how good
it is because you can get it at such an
early level and it's so much DPS that
it'll last you for a very long time as a
paladin. Alliance Paladin Quest has a
horde paladin counterpart to it. Right.
The name of the Horde Varagan's Fist is
called Wolves Bane. And let me show you
this thing. This thing is a beast. 10
in, nine stamina, 3.4 speed. Sear the
target with a vortex of blazing wind
dealing 39 to 59 holy storm. What is a
holy storm damage deals three times as
much damage to wolves and Wargan. That's
pretty cool.
>> Wolf mane. It looks sick. Great looking
weapon. We're going to do the quest now.
The quest actually started in Fenrris
isle fenerous keep. And you do an
escort. And honestly, I didn't really
realize it. Someone said, "Wait, that's
the quest for this." So, we had to go
take Lumina Windser. We saved her and
she's hanging out at the Seoulure,
right, which is this area uh the quest
hub for Silver Pine Forest. So, we're
we're on our way to Seoulure. We're
going to go talk to Lumina Wininger and
we're going to start this quest. So, I
need to talk to her now that she's here.
Okay, she is here.
>> Okay, so she's a skyborn elf, a scelf.
Tell me more of what happened on the
road, Lumina. As I said, the creature
that attacked us fled when I singed its
backside with lightning. But not before
Bannon. On our way back to town, the
null surrounded us and took us captive.
It wasn't until they started to pull us
out of the boat on Fener's aisle that
the change started. There's no words to
describe what happened. Bannon twisted
and contorted horribly. It sounded like
every bone in his body was breaking. His
mouth filled with razors and his hands
became deadly claws. And it took 20 nles
to fell him. And he killed half of them
before it was done. I'm sorry, Lumina.
It sounds like he saved you from a
terrible fate.
When it was over, I was stunned. He knew
what would happen, and he threw himself
in front of that creature anyway to
shield me. We wind shavers always pay
our debts, and I owe him a debt. We've
already avenged his death, but we can
still avenge what was done to him by
that monster. If you're willing to lend
me aid, we will see it done. Okay, let's
pay the debt.
>> Okay, I didn't get to read that. That
was annoying because of uh this thing. A
second. Okay, this is what she said. She
goes, "I think you should know that it
wasn't actually the Nolles who attacked
us on the road. We were actually
attacked by a giant wolflike creature
that I now know as a Wargan. It
dispatched our guards and came for me,
but Bannon threw himself in its path. I
managed to get a spell off which
startled the creature, causing it to
flee. But Bannon was already badly
bitten. He insisted that I leave him
there, but I refused. We were limping
back here when the Nles found us. What
came next was terrifying. So now you
understand. At the very end of his
strength, after being pierced by a dozen
null blades, he reared up to strike me.
In that final moment, we locked eyes and
I could tell he still knew who he was
and that he recognized me. He knew what
was happening, but he had no control
over himself. That was the worst part.
If such a thing is possible, I will see
the creature that doomed him dead so
that I can never visit this horror on
another living thing. I swear it upon
the sky above. A moon-kissed blade.
>> Z will not fall.
>> Trevan tells me that the Wargan are a
major threat to the citizens of
Silverpine Forest. Despite their
strength and resilience, they can be
killed. But there is one in particular
that just doesn't ever seem to stay
paladin due to unknown magic.
>> That is true.
>> That's the one that attacked us. He is
known as Old Fire Eye and he is the
biggest and meanest of their kind. To
put him down, we need a special kind of
weapon. Speak with Trevan and he will
supply you with a list of what is needed
to forge such a weapon. Speak with
Trevan Rol in the subulture and bring
him the materials he requires.
>> Meet again.
>> Hey Trevan, you're right here.
Tell me about how to forge the weapon we
need to destroy Old Fire Eye. The son of
Arugal that attacked Luminina is known
as Old Fire Eye. He is not only well
known for his ferocity, but for his
stubborn refusal to die. I've been doing
a fair amount of research, and I think
that we can forge a blade that will do
the trick and put him down for good.
Here, I've prepared a list of materials
and information about how to get them
for you. When you've gathered what we
need, return to me, and we'll get
started. Reach out your hand and take
the note from Trevan.
>> Watch your back.
>> Okay, you got to read the note. Look in
the bag. Trevan weapon notes.
Espend old fire is a magical creature of
the night. And as such, you require a
magical weapon that is also of the
night. We can inuse such a weapon with
the light of the full moon and use it to
turn the dark magic that drives this
creature against itself. For this, we
need a specific set of materials to
craft a blade of brilliant moon silver
capable of destroying this evil utterly.
This won't be easy, but you've shown
great promise, so I trust that you'll be
able to get what we need. Enchanted
moons silver. This is the key ingredient
to our creation. Moon silver is an
incredibly rare material made from
enchanted silver infused with the raw
power of the moon. A number of weapons
were forged to fight off the Wargan once
the curse began to take hold in
Silverpine. Unfortunately, they are all
lost now, and the location of the last
remaining moons ingots is unknown.
There's a rumor that there was a cache
of such material in Shadow Fang Keep to
the south. It's a long shot, but it's
our best bet for now to find some of
this moons. Some good whit stone oak.
There is a place in Westfall known as
Moonbrook that once had an abundance of
the lumber used by the Alliance artisans
to rebuild Stormwind after the Second
War. Moonbrook has fallen on tough
times, but I've heard that goblin wood
carvers have been hired by a syndicate
of bandits to build something in the
mines under the town. I'd bet my left
boot that they would have claimed any of
the rare lumber that was left in town
when they moved in. And a core gem. From
the tales I've been told, the gems are
used by some spellcasters to hold energy
for their magics, making them even
deadlier. I believe one of the gem
stored energies can be used in your
weapons creation. There is a mage I once
knew called Ol Frostville that can tell
you more of these gems. Last I heard, he
was in Kalindor at the Zaramgar outpost
in Western Ashen.
Okay, so you're going to the same
places. So you craft a different weapon,
but you need a core gem, you need the
lumber, and then eventually we're going
to go into Shadow Fang Keep, I'm sure,
because of Wargans. Okay, a moonissed
blade. So we got the note. Now we need
white stone oak lumber, enchanted silver
ingot, and a purified core gem. So we
need to go do dead mines. We need to go
to Shadow Fang. We're going to end up
needing to go to BFD. Guys, I need to
get a group for Shadow Fang Keep.
Gentlemen, listen. I have compiled a
team. The best of the best of the best.
All right,
it's time to go into SFK. We're working
on our Wolf's Bane quest. It's the
undead version of Varan's Fist. And of
course, it's way the hell better than
what the Alliance gets. Varian's Fist is
a very powerful weapon. Iconic Paladin
weapon. I've gotten together the best of
the best of the best team that you can
possibly imagine. The best team that
money can buy. At least for what I paid
for it was $0. And we're about to go
into Shadow Fang Keep. Now, it's not
going to be easy. SFK is gonna be hard,
I think, because we got four level 20s,
one level 18,
and I'm pretty sure the last boss is
like level 24 or 25. So, it's not going
to be easy. So, we got to be on the
ball. We're going to be consumed. We got
to be paying attention. We got to be
watching our threat without a threat
meter. Good luck. So, let's get out
there and let's get after it. Okay. To
SFK, gentlemen. To SFK. All right. Are
you guys ready? It's time. Oh, yeah. We
got to get there. Dude, look at how SFK
looks. Dude, I really just think the way
they render the lighting and stuff. They
owned. They did such a good job, man.
All right,
let's get a move on. Let's get a move
on, brother. Okay, this is kind of a big
poll here. Hey, Mad Theory, I need you
to judge Crusader on as many things as
you can if possible. Thank you.
Rugged Spalders,
two all resistances, plus 20 armor.
Dude, I feel like they screwed up bad
with it with the level 20 gearing. I've
been thinking about it more and more. I
actually think they screwed up bad. RFC
and Hall of Fame should have been mostly
green gear. I think Ruins of Lorderon
should have have had a mix of green and
blue gear. I think you should have kept
the gear from dead mines and wailing
caverns but reitemized it a little bit
but it should have kept the same sort of
maybe a little bit more blue than than
it was before, right? But you should
have kept the same rarities and then by
the time you get to level 20 is whenever
you're like, "Okay, all the bosses drop
only blues." It's stupid. Everything is
like way too easy now. You have way too
many stats.
It's stupid. Wait, what?
I just got all three of these items.
Like, I got three, dude. I got three
blue shoulders from one quest at level
20 in Shadow Fang Keep and all I had to
do was run ring around the Rosie and
talk to this guy. You cannot tell me
that. You can't tell me that they're not
handing gear way too easily. Yeah, it's
got to be a bug. But like the even about
the blue shoulders, does Blizzard ask
for feedback? Yeah, I talk to him every
day. You think it's a bug? You should
report it. I just messaged him.
Blade of silver level. Oh, 28 spell
damage sword, but it's require level 21.
Need if you need, I guess. Wait, nobody
else needs that. Oh, I guess. So,
Arugal, this is a bad guy. He teleports.
He does an aggro reset. Okay, he does a
threat drop. So, every time he
teleports, you have to stop doing damage
cuz he's a little bit higher level.
always going to resist some stuff,
right? So, just stop doing damage
whenever he teleports. Other than that,
use the line of sight in here. Ready?
Like boom boom boom boom
shik
around the corner. Okay, just like that.
You got to be you got to be you got to
be slick like silk. Okay, just boom boom
boom. All right, I'm pulling.
>> You too shall serve.
Okay, somehow I got hit when I was
around the corner. Void bolt around the
corner.
Around the corner.
I'm going to pull him here. Okay, I go.
Boom. Around the corner. Got line. Okay,
void bolt is coming to me. line
and line again.
This is a really fun This is like one of
the most fun low-level boss fights in
the game, by the way. Nice. Some useless
robes of Argal for now. Head of Arugal.
Make sure to grab the head. It's crazy
cuz these robes, look at this.
18 healing. These are crazy robes. Okay,
we got to grab the silver
enchanted silver ingot. So, we got our
first piece. We got our first piece. Oh
frick.
>> As fun.
>> Protector of the people. Run run run
run.
>> As fun.
Hey ye.
Yes.
Do you remember me?
Elodan
from World of Warcraft. Direct this. I
remember you at the bar. You've been
flirting with me nonstop. LIKE, OH MY
GOD, WHY IS ESON VALUING ME? Do you
actually love me?
>> I just can't believe it. That's not
true.
>> He did the asmount.
>> That is not true. Why do you say it like
that? Do not listen to Illan. He is the
betrayer.
Oh, wait.
After entering combat, reduce the next
instance of physical damage taken within
20. Wait, that's what? That's crazy.
I'm going to take these tiger's eye and
shadow amp gems and stuff.
Oh, it already dropped. Whit stone
lumber. Okay, this is all we need from
dead mines. It already dropped. I wasn't
even there for the kill. I was I was
freaking mining. Okay, that's all we
needed was the white stone oak lumber.
Here we go. Boss time.
>> Challenge the brother.
>> Fools. Our cause is righteous.
The brother shall prevail.
Cor's overshirt.
I have almost all the parts. I just need
the cors gem and then we can go finish
the thing. Dude, this is my first time
in Ashenville. The lighting alone
changes the feel of this game so much.
Oh my gosh. By the light of Aloon. Dude,
look at how incredible this looks. The
rays coming in through the trees.
Wow. Yeah, dude. I Oh my gosh. I
remember going and farming the core gem
one time without getting the core gem
quest. Oh my gosh. Okay, so so we have
to remember this. Yeah, you don't ever
want to do this. I've done this before.
It sucks. Olrich Frostale. Here he is.
Here's the guy. It's an You have to You
have to get a separate quest. A Forsaken
Paladin here in Asheville. Ashenville.
Amusing. So you seek a core gem.
Unsurprising as these are sometimes
employed to empower magical weapons and
implements by the paladin of the
alliance. Why should a fallen paladin
like you be any different? If you truly
desire one of the gems, then you must
head north to the ruins known as Black
Fathom Deeps. The Naga who still use the
gems are down below. Do not go alone.
Paladin,
bring a core gem to Orc Frostville and
Ashville. Okay,
>> trust no one.
>> So we get this quest. Time to go.
Oh, it dropped. Okay, sick. I got it. I
got it. I got it. I got it. Finally. All
right. Good job. Let's uh let's get out
of here.
>> Finally.
It's a shame. Such fine magical
pointless holy bobble. Bring a core gem.
Okay. So So I have the I have the
purified core gem. Okay, we have it.
>> Beware. Okay, so now that we have the
purified core gem, it's time to go back
to the subulture. So let's hear her.
Trevan, roll a mooniss blade.
>> Speak quickly.
>> Trust in the light to guide your blade.
However, the light needs a good blade to
guide. Treven's notes. Enchanted silver
ingot from SFK, the purified core gem
from BFD, and the white stone oak lumber
from Dead Mines. Complete the quest.
Underrated talent. In Taran Mill,
there's a weaponsman known by aught. By
all accounts, he's an unremarkable smith
selling civil blades to travelers. I
purchased a sword from him myself and
when I took it to the unders city for
maintenance sometime later the smiths
there were surprised at its quality.
They assumed it came from a well-known
mastermith but no it was just aught. I'd
like to give this orc a chance to do
something truly special. Take the
materials to in term and offer him the
commission
all the way in Tan Mill.
>> Trust no one.
>> Now lucky for us we went to Daran
earlier today and we got that flight
path actually. Easy, Taran Mill. Hello,
OT.
>> What do you need?
>> My blades don't glisten, glitter, or
gleam, and they'll sing no epic songs
about my creations when I'm gone. One
thing you can be sure of, though, is
that my weapons will cut down all the
knights in Stormwind before losing their
honed edge.
>> Hall,
>> are you in need of a blade, Paladin?
>> Interesting. I don't think anyone has
ever asked me to actually carry out a
custom commission for them. Mostly, I
just make humble, functional weapons in
my own style. It's not much, but it's
honest work, and I don't seek accolades
or glory. I'm happy to try, but why
would you seek me for this? There are
plenty of smiths in the unders city that
will take on custom jobs like this
>> for the horde.
>> These are some truly fine materials,
paladin, you honor me by allowing me to
forge this blade for you, and I only
hope that I can live up to your
expectations. Please stand back so I may
begin the forging pro process.
>> Speak, friend.
Okay, here it is. He's making my He's
making my sword.
It is done. This might be my finest
work, and I'm proud to have had the
honor to forge it for you.
>> What are you looking for?
>> Look to our paladin.
This blade is my finest work.
>> May your blades never die.
>> The moon silver. Wait, what?
What?
Bring a masterwork to te roll the moon
silver blade.
What? Where's the juicer?
Where's the Take this to Trevan.
>> Be safe.
>> Masterwork. The freak. Okay, dude. Some
masterwork.
Look, they gave it a custom icon that
doesn't even fit in with the rest of the
looking vanilla icons. The freaking
jackass blizzard and make it match's
masterwork. Trevan takes the blade and
inspects it carefully. This will do
nicely. SNA, I knew that had it in him
to make something truly great. The only
left now is to kill that beast. Speak
with Lumina when you're ready.
>> Victory for Sylvanas.
>> Wait, old fire. Use the moon blade to
destroy old fireey and silver pine
forest. Okay. The lowest old fire hunts
in a large area south of here. Try to
find near the gates to Gilaeas. Find him
and use your new blade to end him.
>> Fire.
>> I do think the sword looks sick though.
Look at that. The sword looks really
good. And it looks like a vanilla item.
Hold on. On. I'm going to turn around
right when he spawns. I'm going to
estimate it. Ready?
He spawned. Okay, never mind. I was
wrong.
I was Okay, I missed it. I'm going to
time it. I'm going to time it. I'm going
to ready.
Oh, wait. I was close.
The armor protecting all burned away in
holy fire. Ooh, holy fire. Ooh, damage
taken from holy attacks and spells
increased by 100%.
Oh, my judgment is hitting for 150.
Wait a second.
Hold up.
Log cat, let me hit you real quick.
Hold on.
I think this might be better than the
blue version.
Will you heal yourself while I do this?
I want to see if this proc
Oh, sear certain enchanted targets.
Never mind.
I was like I was like, dude, if this
thing procs and does 100% holy damage,
why would I even upgrade the blade?
Yeah, it's just for the quest. But I was
like, wait a second, this is OP. If it
prog, I was like, dude, I just won't
even do the upgrade.
>> What has the wind brought?
>> Old fire eyes. Is it done? Is the beast
slain? He is.
>> Thank you, Esan. Bannon may now rest in
peace. If you'd be willing to allow
>> it. I believe that I can impart some
magic upon your freshly blooded blade to
infuse it with a small measure of the
magic of my people. Lumina Windsinger's
eyes begin to glow a vibrant blue as she
touches the bloodstained blade in your
shaft, in your hand.
It is done. It is.
And I could and I could scarcely improve
such a magnificent blade because of
this. and serves you well.
I was thinking of the handle of the
sword in my head. She was like, she
touches the blade, but I was like, is
she touching the sword or is she
touching the the the the handle? I like
what's a handle called? It's not called
a handle. And I was going through things
in my head and I was like, shaft.
I was like, "Wait,
>> run with the wind."
>> What's that? What's the handle of a
sword called? I'm trying to blank. It's
not shaft. Hilt. I'm like, it's not hilt
or it's not shaft. Okay. And then now
what? Oh, wait. I GOT IT. WAIT, I GOT
IT.
I got the shaft.
Nice.
Wolves Bane is here. I'm so tired. But
finally, look at that. 105 top end
damage. That is a 32 damage upgrade from
my other weapon that I had. Top end. And
then sear the target with a vortex of
blazing wind, dealing 39 to 59 holy
storm damage. Deals three times as much
damage to wolves and organ. So So what
is what is holy storm? Thank you for the
help, guys. Grats. Yeah, thank you.
Thank you guys for the help. Big help.
Guys, on that note, I think it's time
for me to go to bed. We finally got the
wolf's bane. We got our best weapon that
we can get for the level 20 beta. This
thing is nasty, especially against
wolves and Wargan. Yeah, thank you guys
for helping with the quest. Thank you
guys for everything. Thank you guys for
watching today. Dude, the beta's been
good so far. It has been to be able to
get this quest done, get everything
done. And I like how it's, you know,
pretty similar to Varian's fist. But
this sword is sick, man. I'm going to
work on leveling some other characters
and stuff, too. But, uh, yeah, I think
this will be a big time. I think this
will be one that's that's that's big
time. So, it's been good. In case you
haven't heard already, we're preparing
another classic dueling tournament. You
remember the big big MK garra that I
hosted a few years ago. Right before the
last BlizzCon, actually, I hosted this
big MK garra tournament. It's the
biggest PvP event in WoW history. Tips
and I have been talking. We're getting
ready for another dual tournament. Okay.
We haven't had a big one like that in
years. So, we're going to be doing
another big one for the classic beta for
the for the uh classic plus beta for the
forever beta. It'll be level 30. It'll
be at the end. More info to come. Tips
