The guide at wowhealers is just overkill. All you need is some major mana/heal pots and about 30 oil of immolation. Pop the oil 2-3 seconds after the skeletons spawn.

Comment by Synegh

To get Benediction/Anathema, priests must do this:

1. Eye of Divinity - You get this by defeating Majordomo Executus in Molten Core, the final boss before Ragnaros. When you defeat him he submits and you are able to loot his chest. There is a 50% chance that it will contain the Eye of Divinity, otherwise it will hold the Ancient Petrified Leaf which is part of the hunter epic quest. Majordomo is a difficult fight and you will need to be in an experienced raiding guild in order to defeat him.

2. Eye of Shadow - You can get this by farming high level elite demons in Winterspring or Blasted Lands. You will need a group of people to farm these demons, and the Eye has a low drop rate (however it has increased significantly since the last patch). Alternatively, you can kill Lord Kazzak in the Blasted Lands, a 40-man outdoor raid boss; he drops the Eye of Shadow 100% of the time.

3. Epic Quest Encounter - Finally, after you have both Eyes, you are ready to do the quest that will complete the staff. This quest is done in the Eastern Plaguelands. You must have the Eye of Divinity equipped in order to see the quest giver. The quest involves protecting several waves of peasants from attacks as they travel from a cave to the quest giver. The quest, while hard, is not overly difficult as long as you bring the right tools to the fight. You can find guides on how to complete this quest from a number of sources.

As you can see, getting Benediction/Anathema is no small task. The biggest roadblock most will encounter is finding a guild that can defeat Majordomo; I've just recently joined a guild that has him on farm status, so it's just a matter of time as I wait for my turn to loot the Eye. Other than that you could technically complete the rest solo and with pick-ups. However, if this is not an option for you, don't fret. There are a number of blue staves available that can fill the rolls of Benediction/Anathema while you wait for your opportunity to get this great item.

Qwiglee, that is brilliant...fortunately, I'm not on a PvP server, so I don't worry when I see horde, unless I'm being stupid and raiding the starting areas again...

But yes, this staff will be great once I get it... and it should last until Naxx, unless your very lucky.

Comment by 2590

I'm not sure if any of these still work but its worth a try:

Paladin: You will get the benefit of his aura if you're grouped with him. Also, if the paladin spams heals on himself the skeletons will all run and attack him then he can consecrate and tank them.

Mage: You can tell the mage where to blizzard, etc, and the skeletons will still get hit even though the mage cannot see them. This works well in conjunction with the paladin tanking all the skeletons = )

Priest: Though I didn't do this, I was told other priests can use their Eye trinkets or even the Scholomance ghost trinket to see the NPCs and help heal them. I seem to recall hearing that was definitley nerfed though.

Anyway, I completed my quest first try with a paladin and a mage there to help me, and didnt use any oils of immolations or anything. If even the mage aoe still works, I'd highly recommend it = )

Also, the NPC is a 2-hour GLOBAL cooldown.

A few steps in how to get Benediction:

1. Get a guild that's raiding MC(Molten Core)
2. Kill Majordomo, he spawns a chest, Eye of Divinity (needed for making Benediction) has a chance to drop from that chest, after you got this eye, you get a lvl 60 group and go to Southern Winterspring, and start killing the demons! When you got Eye of Shadow, you equip Eye of Divinity, and go to EPL, Near strat u'll find a questgiver, u need to have EoD equiped to see her. She will give you a very hard quest.. Basically you have to save 50 peasants from undead (archers and melee). If 15 or more die you fail and there is a 2h cooldown before you can try again. - Use rank 8 renew and you'll save some mana
- get a ton of oil of immolations and use them whenever the skeleton melee's come out, they only hvae about 100hp and the oil will kill them in 2 hits
-15 of the peasents can die - only 3 died on me
-get a couple mana pots, i used 3
-also, keep an eye on your own health, mine got down to 43 twice then i shielded
-when you start off, the peasents spawn in groups of 10, and there are a few in front with a purple haze to them, they are diseased, so cast your cure disease spell on them asap
-other than that, just be sure to stay alive and cast renew on any peasent taht's loosing health. I hope this will help you :)

The 30-min cd to switch between the two staves can be reset by logging out, so if you recently switched, just log out and back in and you can use it again :)

Comment by frmorrison

Great staff for healing, and you can turn it into a shadow staff for some face melting ;).

Too bad this was overpowered for its level (when it was created), and no other class but hunter got an epic quest.

Comment by Tetris

Something I noticed is that Benediciton currently has 2% to crit with holy spells. But in patch 2.0.1 it is 28 crit rateing for spells. Which does not specify that it is only Holy spells anymore. I am not sure if this was an intended change or if the tooltip just displays it wrong.

Comment by 7700

Best healing weapon for a priest pre-BWL. Weapon also turns into Anathema which is a great shadow priest pvp weapon. This is a priest weapon through a quest.

Comment by Domebuddy

You can do it the legit way, Or you can do it the easy way. For people that simply dont have the cash to buy multiple potions of immolation heres a tip. You can simply get a warlock or mage to help you get off those baddies. To avoid getting that dreadlord attacking you, you must have your friends stand directly ontop of the quest givers. Then you must make sure they never heal you. If they heal you, the Cleaner shows up.

Comment by Saorise

First of all to begin the quest for the priest staff you will need two things:

Eye of Shadow - can be obtained from either Lord Kazzak, or farmed off of elite demons in the very southern section of Winterspring (you can do an 'eye of shadow' search on wowhead for exactly which demons).
Eye of Divinity - From the chest of Major Domo in Molten Core. The drop rate is not very rare. About 50/50. It's either the eye or the hunter leaf.

After those two have been obtained here are some tips for completing the quest:

First supply yourself with plenty of oils of immolation, mana pots, mana regen food etc. If you can bring a few friends to come along for auras/buffs.

IF you happen to know another priest who is on the quest you can do it together (just be sure you dont heal each other or the qeust WILL fail). Equip the eye of divinity to see the NPC (she is located just west of the live entrance to strat). If you do not have the item equipped you will not be able to see her.

The quest involves saving 50 peasants before 15 die. Downranking will be a huge mana saver here because the peasants dont have very much life. Also keep your abolish disease handy because they will be inflicted with this as well.

The hardest part is being able to keep an eye on the peasants health because of some bug/or on purpose you can no longer see their health bars above their heads. But if you are quick with the renewss/abolish disease you should be golden.

I have heard as long as the AOE'er does not move, a mage or warlock can stand at the mouth of the cave and kill the mobs that come through there as long as they DO NOT move. If this is not an option that is what the oils of immolation are for.

An old, but very handy walkthrough is also availible here:

http://www.wowhealers.com/content/view/124/50/

Comment by RakothMaugrim

If you press ctrl-V you will see there health bars, and for those who had trouble like me, the skellies are fearable, holynovable (very useful here) and a mana pot should be used as early as possible.

I burned 3 major Mana, 7 oils of immolation that fight. Stay around the healer, she can heal you as well, but its not much.

Comment by 7833

Some important things to remember:

1. Get really good at monitoring your cooldown timers and use them as effectively as you can.
2. Don't use flash heal *most inefficient heal mana-wise* unless absolutely necessary.
3. Dispell and choose your rank of renew on citizen's damage taken.
4. Choose your gear with the most +heal and mana regen.
5. You need to act like the tank and the healer at the same time; because you want aggro on you from the mobs on the ground, you can't do anything about the ranged attacks.

Stratholme holy water "not sure on cooldown, but they wreak havoc"
Immolation Pots "not a typical cooldown timer"
Crystal Charge from Ungoro
Major Mana Pots
Mageblood potion
Scrolls, Scrolls, Scrolls if a particular class is missing for help
Night Dragon's Breath - Felwood
Whipper Root

Be sure to utilize Inner fire
You could have 2 paladins with you for their buffs and Auras.
Druid for Motw and thorns
....and apparently you can use a party member's AOE if they don't move, a mage would work then you can mooch their AI buff as well.

The most important thing to remember is that you have to save X citizens before X citizens die. You can't save them all so if 1 or 2 die, don't worry too much.....don't get all stressed about it.

The point I got out of this quest is that you need to use your timers and available backup tools as best as you can. You also need to think about how efficient your mana use is. It's just like any raid really. Unfortunately, these citizens can't bandage up.

I will say this however...it is better to be overprepared than under. This quest was nerfed and is now very soloable...but having friends there does makes things much much easier.

Comment by Binary

This is one of the best staffs a healing priest can obtain, and more than that, it's relatively easy to complete the quest.
However, Grand Marshal's Warhammer (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23454#z0z) is not only even easier to get since patch 2.0, but also is only a main-hand - letting you equip even more +healing onto your off-hand. Not to mention the fact that the mace has over +20 healing points over Benediction ;).

Comment by 8558

Another example for healing guide:

1. Gear

Your effectiveness as a healer is highly dependent upon your gear. You want lots of intellect, spirit and +healing spell gear to maximize your healing potential when grouped. So if your particular talent build calls for different stats, consider carrying additional gear to equip whenever you're asked to be the primary healer. This is especially important for feral-specced druids, who prefer strength and stamina to intellect and spirit.

2. Know who's expendable

All classes bring something unique to a group. And your ultimate goal is to keep everyone alive. But unfortunately, the roles that people play in your group are not all equal when it comes to expendability. Your priorities, listed from most important to least important, include the following roles, generally played by the following classes:

Yourself
Main Tank (Should NEVER NEVER EVER be below 60% hp)
Off Tank's
MELEE DPS
Ranged DPS

So really when were throwing heals on mages/locks and not on rogue's were screwing up. Mages/Locks/Hunters should never get hit nor healed as much as rogues. Not only can they bandage but they dont have to even back up because tey should be 30 yards away from the target. Note the llist does change with each different encounter like AOE encounters.

3. Use efficient healing spells
Your mana is your lifeline as a healer (and the lifeline of everyone else). So manage it carefully. Different spells will heal more efficiently when used on different classes and armor-types. This is governed by casting speed, type of heal and potency.

Renew - Great HoT and unlike most heals doesnt gain aggro right away should ALWAYS be 1 on the tank.

Flash Heal - If you cast 100 heals, 99 of them will be flash heals. This talent is the most effective when your tanks getting beat on for 1-2k per hit. Remember the tank usually only has about 6k life so ruffly 15% of his life gets taken away per hit, flash heal is usually faster then any attack of a boss and can counter act the dmg done and if crits can replenish the tanks health to full without a problem.

Greater Heal - I can't stress enough DON'T use this unless you have innerfocus. This talent alltho does do alot of healing costs alot of mana and takes 3 seconds to cast. So unless your tanks at full and you can predict that hes ganna take X amount of dmg and needs a greater heal dont cast it. Stick with FLASH heal.

Power Word: Shield - The single best talent a priest has. It's an instant cast spell that gives a buble that absorbs 1k dmg. This should always be on teh tank if he doesnt have 1 on already. The only time you wouldnt put it on right away is if its a mortal strike boss. At that point you need to wait for the mortal strike to hit and then bubble. For those of you that don't know what mortal strike is, It reduces healing by 50% and does a tremendous amount of damage. Note even after you bubble you should still be aware of the tanks health and if below 60% still spam heals on him.

4. The smart way to panic
As good as you get at controlling your aggro, eventually you will have to deal with a mob or two that you just can't shake. Let's start with what NOT to do:

1) Don't run away. When you run, the main tank (or off tank) has a much harder time pulling the offending mob(s) from you. Plus, you can't heal your party if you're on the move. Worse yet, you may inadvertently pull more mobs.

2) Avoid healing yourself. This can begin a cycle of futility. The more you heal yourself, the more aggro you generate and the more health you'll lose to the attacker(s). Furthermore, the mob(s) attacking you will be increasingly harder for others to pull.

So what should you do?

1) Use 'Fade' to reduce the aggro you've accumulated (as well as aggro you will accumlate) for 10 seconds. It can instantly free you of a mob or two and allow your tank the opportunity to pull mobs back to himself. And that means you can get back to healing. Rem

Comment by 8558

HEALING GUIDE-2

2) Move toward the tank. Make your way toward the main tank (or off tank). The closer you are to him, the faster he will be able to pull the offending mob(s) from you.

3) If Fade doesn't work and your tank's a bit late picking it up always Power Word: Shield And Renew. Both these are instant and you can run to the tank.

4. Support your party
As the primary healer, you are the main part of your group. But don't just pay attention to healing. There are a few other things you can do to further support your party.

1) Use mana potions. As stated above, your mana is the lifeline of everyone in your party. When you run out, you cannot heal. So always keep a stack of mana potions handy that are on par with your current level. In our case its combat pots or better.

2) Let us know when your RUNNING out of mana. To many times in raids ppl have died because they say im oom instead of saying Im low on mana can I get some help healing.

3) Decurse your party. If theres ANY Magic debuff on the raid, ie Soul Burn THATS OUR #1 PRIORITY. Were the only class capable of removing the magic debuffs horde side so thats our job. If your wondering yes it DOES take priority over healing.

Comment by 9590

To get this staff you need to first defeat Majordomo Executus in the Molten Core and open his chest. Sometimes it will contain an Eye of Divinity which starts the quest chain for this great priest item. It's couterpart is the staff used by shadow priests Anathema. They can be used interchangeably.

Comment by InfernoMan

Thanks for all the tips, will deff be looking for this on my shadow preist, not a bad quest to get 2 staffs at once!

Comment by 58919

Too bad that this staff is terrible in tBC.... guess theres no point in wasting time running MC for this thingy

Comment by 4018

I wish they would put in some kind of quest to upgrade this for BC. The quest line was a lot of fun and I love the graphic. I will never DE this item.

Oracledragon is correct. With +55 healing this will last (as a healing weapon) until you leave Nagrand. Then the Azure Lightblade and the Saga of Terokk can replace them.

You might find some upgrades for Anathema before then but with the healing enchant this is hard to replace (as a healing weapon).

Comment by Lonkeroinen

Meaning for the word (Benediction):
It's usually connected to religions as a benediction is a short invocation for divine help, blessing and guidance.

Comment by 78488

Since the changes in 3.0.2, this staff seems a little odd to me.
Not that anyone goes for it anymore or uses it at 70 anyway, but the healing side having 28 crit rating and the shadow side having 7 mp5 being the major differences doesn't make a lot of sense to me... shouldn't it be the other way around?

Comment by junkseer

Staff has it's own (fixed) glow, no enchants will show on it

Comment by Raydawn

Still the most bad-ass looking staff in the game.

Comment by 261349

I love this staff! it can change into another staff! u got 2 items in 1, what could be better?

Comment by 102208

Ironically, Benediction is superior for dps now with the spell power change and the benefits of crit for shadow priests nowadays. Anathema is more of a healing staff now with the mana regen.

Comment by 327901

Archbishop Landgren use this staff... and i thought about something, is Anathemaand Benediction one staff? that you just can change when you want?

Comment by neoreaper

would this be labled a T1 or T2 weapon?

i think T1 cause its off domo for the only raid part of it

Comment by Gnoktish

Needing to know, (i keep my staff but just needing to know...) is it possible to retrieve your Benediction after you destroyed it (it is not sell-able or DE)

Comment by Viridiel

Just a quick question, do enchants stay on the staff if you call the other staff or do you lose the enchant?

Comment by 451334

Right there with you. I farm one up on every priest I level, because it is still the best looking staff ever made. Plus I absolutely *had* to heal a mount farming run of heroic CoS with it equipped because of the lore involved. I lose about 500 spellpower when I equip it, despite the +81 enchant, but some things just beg to be done. I mean, healing the inside of Stratholme as Arthas purged it, while wearing the staff that I got for protecting the refugees from Arthas's purge of Stratholme.

This time around I spent a weekend farming up full D1 and upgrading it to Virtuous just to pimp full D2 + Anathema/Benediction around Dalaran.

/nerd~~rage~~envy

Comment by 366438

I still agree that this is one of the nicest looking staffs. Would be nice to get an upgraded version in some way.

Comment by 57414

Does the enchant glow show? Or does the standard glow it has overwrite it?

For looks i think it would look bad ass with executioner, but dont want to blow mats on it to be disappoined

Comment by 380852

I want to see Blizzard putting more of these types of items in the game, i.e really good class-specific weapons that require raiding and an epic quest/ quest chain to complete SOLO.

Something is telling me we won't see any good gear like this is Cataclysm though.

Comment by 755362

Man I love this staff, back in the day I was one of the last priests on the server- out of like 10 - to get this staff before BC launched. Too bad no acheivement

Comment by 227009

I did this quest then I was a Level 70 Holy Priest. I wasn't able to successfully do it. I respecced to Disc and used Power Word: Shield on all of the packs and that in itself was all I had to do. Remember when Power Word: Shield breaks, you regain mana while in Disc. Because of this, I never ran out of mana, and I only lost a few of the mobs in the packs. The encounter itself too no more than five (5) minutes.

Comment by 616836

It's a real shame that this staff and the quest aren't available anymore. Doing this at Level 60 was a rite of passage for Priests. Benediction wouldn't be replaced until at least Nefarian if Shamans/Paladins were okay with you rolling on the mace. Even then, you'd likely use the staff until you got AQ40 loot.

And the quest itself was just really cool because it's one of the few quests in the whole game that made you feel like this grand and great Priest.

Comment by Felcrotch

I never got this for my priest during the classic days. I've had many other mains since then, but my priest has kept his entire Devout/Virtuous set and other rare/epic iLvl60 items. I've raided MC many many times, and never won the Eye of Divinity.

Now my priest has avg iLvl 347 and I just got out of MC for the Eye of Divinty.. you know, kill all the bosses to get him to spawn... not a quick n easy thing for a holy priest to solo. What a waste of time....

I miss class quests for an uber-epic piece.

Maybe it's time to DE my old gear....

I've had my priest ever since 2007 and I'm so upset I missed the chance to get this. I never thought Blizz would actually let us have an appearance tab so I never bothered with it.
Here's hoping a similar quest gets put back in the game sometime. but I'm sure people will say "Then every priest will be showing this off".

I guess I'll have to display my Staff of the Redeemer or Staff of Immaculate Recovery :(

Comment by LifescanX

But Blizzard did say that they would consider adding items that enough players would want. Or was that only for armor?

If not then perhaps everyone and their mother will run around with it.

Comment by Gnoktish

Blizzard stated that Benediction will return for Transmogrification, with a slight chance of a twist. Whether it be a new quest, farmable item, upgraded to level cap, or for all classes... For the love of all that is mighty, keep the Anathema staff use effect!

Comment by 664803

Priest's! We do have some hope at getting this item back, http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3080308175?page=1 , get as many people as you can to post on that thread in hopes of bringing back Benediction/Anathema as the quest line or just back in game, the Devo's just need to hear a voice that we MISS this item.

I'd really like to see this Staff make a return in Mists of Pandaria, I originally got it on my Priest back in the days of Vanilla, but due to my Account getting hacked, the person sold my Tier 1 set AND my beloved Benediction, sadly Blizzard won't let me have it back.

But if they do make it a quest to get it again, it needs to be harder and actually test your skills as a Priest.

I would also like to see Rhok'delar make a come back, because I got it on my Hunter but the person sold it when my account got hacked.

Comment by diet

Though at the top right it says "Disenchantable (225)" it is in fact NOT Disenchantable anymore thankfully, you don't have to worry about accidently dusting this item. Though according to the new blizzard restore service, if you did accidently destroy it you are able to retrieve it from your battle.net account page if you're fast enough.

Don't worry if you didn't get this and want it; willing to bet it'll pop up on BMAH, like everything else that was removed and will be added to "fix the economy".

Comment by 657785

I'm extremely disappointed that this staff is no longer in the game. This was definitely one of the most awesome class quest chains/staff skin designs and of course, staff back in the day.

Comment by sojumonkey

All you guys who cry at things being on the BMAH didn't get an item because it was going to be 'removed' at a later date. The idea behind the BMAH is sound and the logic is good. if you do transmogrify runs at a much higher level on low level or old world content your a hypocrite .... just accept it.

Comment by 1053790

It has been one of two items i have always kept the Benediction and Piccolo of the Flaming Fire! woot

Comment by Bloodwish

For me Benediction is a "Legendary" weapon between Epic items. :)

Comment by kabookiejoe

Benediction should have a FoS like all other class quest from Vanilla

Comment by Terrassen

The staff was created by obtaining the The Eye of Divinity from Majordomo Executus in Molten Core.
It was then required to obtain the The Eye of Shadow which dropped of most demons in the Blasted Lands and Winterspring.
They were then both equipped as trinkets in order to see the questgiver who otherwise did not appear, which's tale explains
that she had fallen to the dead with only her spirit remaining: Eris Havenfire located in Eastern Plaguelands.

The event did then revolve around helping peasants escape from the undead by healing and curing their diseases until
50 had been rescued, and would be failed if 15 were killed. But could as any other quest be redone if failed as many
times as you wished, with a long wait time of two hours. The peasants were easily killed if not dispelled and healed quickly,
making it one of the greatest challenges for a Priest at the level. Though it was indeed done as solo once the heirlooms in
Wrath of the Lich King arrived, still at the same appropriate level.

Finally once the challenge was complete, her spirit was free by saving the innocent ones and you were awarded the
Splinter of Nordrassil which together with both trinkets created Benediction.

Still the best staff in the game, though you cant get it anymore. Other form is just as cool.

It is possible to make enchants visible on that staff. At least for 10 minutes. Picture

1. Equip benediction or a staff transmogged with benediction
2. Use ai-li's skymirror
3. Equip an enchanted staff (the weapon must be able to display enchants)

Benediction is set to get a FoS in Legion same as Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers

Comment by jjanchan

The Balance of Light and Shadow is a Legacy achievement to be added in Legion that will be awarded those who complete the epic Priest questline to obtain Benediction/Anathema.

There is a similar achievement being added for Hunters that obtained Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers and Lok'delar, Stave of the Ancient Keepers back in the day - The Ancient Keeper.

I'm sure it will be some recognition much appreciated by those who took the time to acquire these weapons!

Comment by Keltix

This MIGHT just get a way back into the game!

During the recent Itemization Q&A Matt Gross came with the following statement:

In Patch 7.2, the transmog set UI is coming and Blizzard realized there were tons of missing pieces as they put the system together. With the transmog set UI complete, Blizzard now has a comprehensive list of appearances that aren’t collectible in the game. They need to find the right time and place to bring back each appearance.

So alot of item appearances might return! Which brings the question, will Benediction return? Probably not, but maybe a look alike?

Comment by Scoff

I had the Eye.. but then they removed the quest! never got to get Benediction! Sad! so sad!.. now I see everyone running around with it. When you hearthstone to the vindicaar.. It gets rubbed in your face!

Plzz add this great staff again bliz!

Comment by BobbyBoar

In case people didn't notice, owners of either Benediction or Rhok'delar got a Legacy Achievement in Legion which means they'll both stay unobtainable indefinitely (forever).

Comment by brainimpalement

GMs are no longer able to restore this item.

Directly quoting from my ticket response:

As much as we'd really want to help here, I'm afraid our hands are tied since these two items are no longer available in the game now that even us won't be able to bring them back.

R.I.P me for forgetting I earned this before my account got hacked during WotLK and it ended up vendored :-(

Plz! Bring it back in the Trading post!

Add transmog but then remove access to old unique looking items like this for absolutely no reason other than wElL iTs A cLaSs QuEsT aNd wE dEcIdEd To rEmOvE aLl oF tHeM. Not even a good reason, just a screw you to players who started playing post-Cataclysm.

This is why Cataclysm will forever be my least favourite expansion, even though the content it added was superb.
