Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker

It seems like this weapon is linked at least 5 times a day in IF chat and every once in a while in /g so i thought id put together a brief guide on how this weapon is obtained.

 

The quest to obtain Thunderfury starts once someone receives either of the bindings of the windseeker. You are then sent to Silithus where you receive the actual quest for Thunderfury along with information on how to finish the sword.

 

Thunderfury Mats

1x Binding of the Windseeker (left)

1x Binding of the Windseeker (right)

10x Elementium Bar

1x Essence of the Firelord

 

The left binding has around a 4% chance to drop from Baron and the right binding a 4% chance to drop from Garr. Essence of the Firelord is a quest drop from Ragnaros after getting the quest in Silithus.

 

If getting two 4% drops from MC isnt enough for you wait until you see what you need for an elementium bar...

 

For 1 Elementium Bar

1x Elementium Ore (drop)

10x Arcanite Bar (220g)

1x Firey Core (Bank)

3x Elemental Flux (39g)

 

Assuming Firey Cores are provided you're looking at around 2500g in mats. Of course buying arcane crystals and getting free transmutes would certainly help but you are looking at quite a price tag.

 

Smelt Elementium is taught by mind controlling Krixix in BWL (he is just before Ebonroc). Elementium ore drops from the goblins in BWL.

 

Once all the mats are gathered you must go back to Silithus where you must kill Thunderaan (raid boss). Once this is done you are now the owner of Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker.

So when are you getting your's again Beorn

Hmmm, as nice as the sword is, I don't believe it is nearly nice enough to be worth all that trouble, time, coin... Of course, unless it procs ever 2nd or 3rd hit, I wouldn't even say it was nice enough for legendary status but just one of the best of the epic status weapons. That's just my oppinion though - remember, I'm a mage.

I have been hit by it..... It sucks... to be hit with that is.

this sword has a 30% + proc that wut make it uber!

and typically the wielder of the sword has a 90% victory rate...

Good post Beorn!

You know Wray did a great write up about this a while ago : P There's a link to it on the item page on allakhazam. Good info nontheless!

Considering this is the best 1H sword currently in the game...it is worth all that.

this sword isnt about weapon speed, or base damage, its about the proc. More swings = more chances to proc = higher speed. It would suck if it was a slow giant 2h weapon. i would absofreakinglutely love to have one of these, but i dont play enough to roll on the bindings.

I DW Thunderfury and have the Hand of Ragnoros in my ranged slot =/
