This is attainable by a level 19 character, thus making it the highest DPS weapon in the game (as of Feb 2007) for a twink. Also, the slow weapon speed means the % of hits that cause a proc are substantively higher than a faster weapon. A lot of work for a .5 dps bump over rare blues that are BoE, but for the ulti-twink a must have.

Anyone know if it's possible to put TBC enchants on this weapon?

This is actually not the highest dps 2h 19 twink weapon. Smite's Hammer still remains to be the highest in dps with 21.27 dps after you add the +11 str ((11*2)14). Now, if you consider the extra dps from the proc, the Glacial Stone 'might' be higher depending on how often it procs as compared to the amount of extra damage you would've done with the Smite's Hammer. I would still rather have the Smite's Hammer due to its stats.

yeah i would say you are wrong, yeah ok, with the stats smites might hamer gives it have like the same DPS, but the chane on hit on this wep is so imba! it's so nice!

Although I've been playing 10-19 WSG for almost a year, I just recently heard of Glacial Stone. Some thoughtful person in WSG couldn't resist the temptation to point out that his Glacial Stone was better than my Smite's Mighty Hammer, so I decided to take a close look at the two weapons.

Smites Mighty Hammer offers 19.7 dps, +11 Str, +4 Agi, while Glacial Stone offers 21.0 dps and a 75 dmg proc. Using CTProfiles to swap the two weapons back and forth, using Smite's Hammer as a baseline, here's how Glacial Stone stacks up:

With Glacial Stone equipped (not counting the proc yet):
You loose 0.31 dps (due to the loss of +11 Str)
You loose 22 Atk Pwr
You loose 0.63 %Crit
You loose 0.63 Dodge

Factoring in the proc (assuming 5% proc as stated in one of the comments above) increases average dps so:
You gain 0.73 dps (over Smites Mighty Hammer)
But Atk Pwr, %Crit and Dodge are unchanged in the "loss" column

Overall, the two weapons are very close, so if you think +0.73 dps, -22 Atk Pwr, -0.63 Dodge, and -0.63 %Crit is worth doing the entire Raene's Cleansing series, have at it. Since I already have about 95% of my L19 XP, it's really not an option for me.

this is a nice twink weapon. But there is a sword with more dps. check this out Seraph's Strike

Comment by Thottbot

can anyone confirm if the proc slows down people?
like most frost attacks/ spells

if so, this is a pretty good weapon considering u can slow down people....even tho warriors already have hamstring....

I saw a lvl 29 twink war with this he had savagery on it how is that possible?

Comment by Thottbot

I've heard a lot of people saying what is the "best" enchant or the "best" whatever, when taking into consideration as to what is best or not you should consider a few things: The class you're refering to i.e. "This is the best one hander ever!" Well are you talking about a rogue, warrior, paladin?

As far as an enchant for a 2 hander, some may not have to look any further than a simple counterweight. Since the BC preps were put in and things were changed from % to ratings, ratings at lower levels equate to rather large percentages. For really slow 2 handers I would actually recommend trying out a counterwieght. For a level 19 warrior, a 3.5 speed 2 hander will swing for 3.04, that's half a second off the swing speed (almost) which anyone who knows how DPS is calculated knows, that's freakin' huge!

im a lvl 15 looking to get glacial stone for my twink...i need to know where the quest starts and how many quests until award...thanks!

Comment by Thottbot

Got it on my 19 twink warrior, hits like a truck now ^_^

Comment by Thottbot

I was thinking of doing a paladin and get this... will this work on a paladin as good as on a warrior?

I would be really happy for an fast answer =)

Comment by Thottbot

Is the quest stil able to get After the new patch?

Comment by Allakhazam

The quest becomes available at lvl 18. The entire quest line from start to finish, takes most of that lvl (of Exp) to complete. Make sure you have all of your instance items before lvl 18 and then do this quest.

Comment by Allakhazam

Ok iv got a lvl 19 twink warrior (Gnome)(I like Gnomes :D) and i dont know what to get on it....... Firey, Icy, Crusader, or Wep Damage +19... Im leaning twards Crusader, but iv got a Night Reaver and a Shadowfang with Crusader already. Well Screw it ill trust my Intuition and go with another Crusader, I mean i can already hit 450 NORMAL Hits with a Crusader Proc on my Night Reaver so I immagine ill be able to hit in the 500's with Glacial Stone. (Heroic Strike crusader procs critts hit usally: 650+, I've gotten a 829 critt once, but only once and it was on a 19 twink mage)

-So Crusader + Glacial Stone= Awesome Ass Pwnage!

Glacial Stone

Click on above for a photo of the weapon.

Comment by Allakhazam

Yuo can get this item at level 19. It's even better than Night Reaver, making it the best pvp 2h weapon for 10-19. My warrior friend has this and she pawns in Warsong gulch with this and +9 wep damage. Just letting everyone know.

Comment by Allakhazam

u cant get the quest till lvl 23 so u CANNOT use in PVP,

sorted,

BTW smites is the best by far and i have it xD

Comment by Allakhazam

Just did this quest on Uldum, requires level 18 to start. And for those having hopes of doing this quest for a 19 twink start it as soon as you get 18. I just took a level 54 with me and had no troubles at all, prolly could do it with a 30+, since the highest mob to kill is 31. Takes about 2 hours total, and the final xp total for the whole thing is 17,325 xp, not including xp from various mobs killed along the way, just what you will get for handing in all the different quest parts. Good luck, its slow but when it crits, it takes out almost all casters in one shot.

Comment by Allakhazam

This is obtainable by a 19 alliance warrior. I'd personally go with a Shadowfang+Arctic buckler since there is no imp overpower, ww, ms, or any other good instants.

I guess you can proc it with hamstring for a psuedo instant, meh.

Comment by loosidious

If you're attempting to obtain this on a Season of Mastery server, you must start the quest almost immediately upon obtaining level 18. I was carried by a level 54 Mage and I still ended up getting a level and a half from the quest line.
