Best tank weapon, best Fury MH weapon, not a bad Rogue weapon but you could do better.

Comment by Tobias

This weapon is obtained from Molten Core by collecting both left and right half of "Bindings of the Windseeker" which drop from respectively Baron Geddon and Garr in Molten Core.

This then starts a long quest chain which involves killing Thunderaan the Windseeker in Silithus.

Comment by Siliticx

Perfect sword rogue offhand now.

Comment by jaexi

As a rogue I wouldn't waste my time with that, costs too much and it's only worth having for the orangeness.

Comment by Simulator

Aye, this is a great tank weapon, but is also great for rogues as well.

Comment by Aestil

This remark should not have been ignored. It is the best offhand weapon in the game for a rogue currently. Just because it primarily goes to a tank first, and perhaps, should go to a tank first, does not take away the fact that this is the best offhand in the whole game currently.

Comment by thantik

If you're serious about crafting this weapon for PvE content, this should ALWAYS go to a warrior over a rogue. There are simple reasons for this:

1. The proc on this weapon produces quite a bit of threat. Rogues don't want threat. Threat=BAD.
2. By giving this to a warrior that is/will be (every warrior WILL BE tanking at some point), your upping the potential dmg output of your ENTIRE RAID, vs Upping the damage potential for 1 Rogue (Arguable since they'll be generating more threat and may have to feint more anyhow)

If your in a guild that will allow this to be crafted for PvP purposes, by all means, give it to a rogue if they have the DKP.

Comment by Aestil

I think that is the point. If we narrow our discusion to ONLY PvE content, then yes, this should ONLY go to a warrior. But the reality of the game is that many people like to PvP, and many guilds do not have a problem with rewarding a good player with a good weapon. Since this is the BEST offhand weapon in the game for a rogue for dmg, its not a BAD idea to give it to a rogue. Please stop being childish guys.

Comment by HaKProduct

Rogues vs. Warriors:
The weapon's speed and DPS are easily replaced with a barrage of MC and BWL weapons. Throw Naxx in there and TF's DPS is trashed. The only part of this sword that matters is the proc and speed. A tank strikes a mob 4 times every 3 seconds. With that strike rate, the proc is constant.

Imagine an item that said "Take 20% less melee damage."
Imagine Thunderfury. I repeated myself.

Comment by 1missing

Warrior without Tfury attacking a target
Rogue with Tfury attacking the same target
Warrior still takes 20% less damage. And in regards to threat, smart rogues know how to manage there threat.

Comment by 1Ska

It is great, and hopefully legendarys will scale come 2.0/bc.

Comment by Thorny

I was lucky enough to get Thunderfury on my Rogue, and I absolutely love it.

Admittedly, this item should go to Warriors in the first instance, if they plan on using it to tank. The proc does generate quite a lot of threat, but it is nothing too unmanageable for a Rogue to negate through the usage of Feint and Vanish.

I was lucky enough to get the Bindings due to the fact that we already had a Warrior with Thunderfury already. Took me a long while to get them though - at least 12 months, doing Molten Core almost every week!

Comment by Bloodmule

My Guilds main tank has this, got it over a couple of months damn lucky and about 5k gold....Bloody worth it IMO. I believe you also need a BWL run I think to learn to smelt the bars I think.

Against the end bosses Ony, Rag etc it is hard to take aggro off him. If a Main tank can get it your raiding end game content just became a hell of alot easier.

It works very well for us.

Comment by junado

You do need to go past Firemaw in Blackwing Lair to learn how to smelt Elementium, but this could be accomplished in another guild's instance who cleared BWL - the goblin you need to mind control respawns after a soft reset (instance empty for 30 minutes).

You will, however, need Elementium Ore, which drops from the goblin packs that stand between Broodlord (3rd BWL boss) and Ebonroc (5th BWL boss), is very random, and will most likely require at least a few weeks of clearing the packs. So unless you're filthy rich, if your guild isn't running BWL yet, it will take you a while to see this weapon.

Comment by Jerree

The warrior/rogue debate has now become a moot point, being this close to TBC release.

While this weapon will grab aggro on clusters of mobs, a rogue shouldn't be able to grab boss aggro from a good prot warrior. TBC is featuring far better, non-legendary, weapons for Tanks and as thus, this weapon can safely be given to a rogue.

To strengthen this point. Once a Tank gets his hands on a +def weapon doing 89 DPS, he'll never again use his TF in PVE. Therefore, the raid just lost the proc... In this case, if a rogue had it, they could continue to off-hand it to keep the proc around for the guild.

Comment by skitzosmeagol

Understand though, should a main tank get this weapon, he will generate more threat and allow in turn the whole raid to do more dps without the risk of pulling aggro, sure giving it to a rogue is understandeable, there is no problem with that. The guild decides who it goes to. However i feel the tanks will be able to generate more threat, and allow everyone else to do more DPS. Btw this weapon is amazing at DPS and threat generation!

Comment by kovi

I don't know who'd actually even consider crafting it now, with TBC around the corner. The costs are pretty steep and chances are you'll replace it in the not too distant future.
Maybe if you have tons of gold (*coughcough*) and just want it for the shiny legenardy factor, but else... why bother.

Comment by Nolimit

Rogue weapon!

Yes it is best for tanking but it should go to rogue.

Tho it's not worth :)

Comment by Wain

Even with Burning Crusade around the corner, it is still a very worthwhile tanking sword. A lot of people that are 70 with TFs are reporting that they still haven't run across anything more powerful for tanking.

Comment by oellawappa

A once very rare weapon. Now obtained by luck. I've seen warriors, rogues, paladins, and even a hunter with Thunderfury. These days most guilds are in Naxx. Warriors have Widows Remorse, rogues have other Naxx weapons. Short story; Many guilds just give this out to whoever is crazy enough to spend almost all of their DKP on it.

The reason why a lot of warriors don't take this weapon is due to the fact that it costs a fortune to craft. Warriors already pay a buttload of money towards repairs after raids. Especially tanks. Since the sword was awarded the right to be an offhand it has become a very much wanted item by Rogues. Even though the threat from the proc is insane, most rogues can handle it.

I've seen a paladin with this sword too, he put +22 Int on it. I lol'd.
Also, I'd like to warn all hunters that want this weapon... Blizzard stated themselves it was a mistake putting them on the list. I've seen 2 guilds fall apart because they awarded a hunter with a set a lucky drop binding because he was willing to spend big DKP bucks on it. Then the tanks getting mad as they wanted it over a hunter (even though they didn't speak up when the RL asked if anyone wanted it)

Comment by akirabrewer

I seen this when i played AV with my 60 pally. A rogue weilding this and all of teir 3 went in AV. He was UNSTOPPIBLE! I couldnt believe my eyes because me and 5 other people got killed by him.. Man i wish i had this sword

Comment by xzoen

My brother is trying to get this. it takes 10 elementuim bars

(this requires 1 elementuim ore, 10 arcanite bars, 1 fiery core, and 3 elemental fluxes)

the two bindings,
( they drop off Garr and Baron Geddon in molten core)

and the essence of the fire lord, which is a Ragnaros drop..

Comment by LeperMessiah

GREAT Tank weapon. Unless the instanse your in requires Crowd Control, but I know I would kill for this(not literally :P ). I have seen this so many times in the battlegrounds. Does Great in huge parties of people. Very helpful in taking nodes in Arathi Basin. Not as good in Warsong Gulch as in Arathi Basin, but it does well holding off troops in the base as your friend grabs the flag and slips out with the defenders trapped in the Wind proc.

In Alterac Vally you could do just like Arathi Basin. Maybe while Fighting Drek'Thar'Vandeer you would be holding off the Horde/Alliance Defenders WHILE tanking the evil man.

paladins and hunters whould never have been able to get this. i see no point in a hunter having anything with good melee. as for a paladin I mean come on you would benifiet more from +healing or +intellect than this sword with DPS and great proc.

Comment by Wallace

It's not the actual sword that does creates the mass amount of threat, it is the proc that does, making this a bad weapon for rogues who don't enjoy feinting 24/7.

Comment by Koen

Thunderaan the Windseeker quest chain:

This quest begins when you loot either the Right or Left half of the Bindings of the Windseeker, which drop off Baron Geddon and Garr in Molten Core. Upon looting one of these, you must travel to Silithus and talk with the Highlord Demetrian, who will then give you the Vessel of Rebirth, which will start the quest.

Quest: Examine the Vessel
Who: Highlord Demitrian
Starts in: Silithus
Quest Level: 70
Level to attain: 60
Items Needed: Vessel of Rebirth

Quest: Thunderaan the Windseeker (Raid)
Who: Highlord Demitrian
Starts in: Silithus
Attain: 60
Level: 63
Items Needed: 10 Elementium Bar
1 Essence of the Firelord
1 Binding of the Windseeker (left) dropped by Baron Geddon
1 Binding of the Windseeker (right) dropped by Garr

Highlord Demetrian will guide you to Earthcaller Franzahl in Winterspring, who will tell you of a Goblin named Krixix who was swallowed up by a rift in the earth while meddling with the mysteries of Elementium. It is he who holds the secrets!

Krixix is located in Blackwing Lair, of course. Elementium ore drops random off the goblins in BWL as well. So, what's needed to make a bar of elementium?

1x Elementium Ore - Drops from Goblins in BWL
3x Elemental Flux - Purchase from Smithing Vendors
1x Fiery Core - Drop from MC
10x Arcanite Bar: Multiply that by 10 for the total amount of bars needed and you're looking at a significant expense.

Quest: Rise, Thunderfury!
Who: Item: Dormant Wind Kissed Blade
Starts in: Silithus
Attain: 60
Level: 63

After gathering all the items needed, return to the Highlord Demetrian in Silithus and summon Thunderaan. Rather than gain his blessing, he's evidently rather angry after his imprisonment, and you must defeat him.
Honestly I can't say how hard of a fight Thunderaan is. Even with our best efforts to keep the summoning of Thunderaan a secret, half the server showed up for the event, and Thunderaan died quite quickly as a result. After defeating him, you loot the Dormant Wind Kissed Blade and have the now groveling Demitrian give you Thunderfury, Blessed Sword of the Windseeker.

Comment by dingo22

At level 70 my warrior is unable to find a better DPS one handed weapon because of the proc on this. The proc is what makes this weapon.. While I can equip other weapons that I can hit harder with and have bigger crits with etc.. This in the main hand is far superior when aoe'ing mobs with wirlwind/cleave.. The proc hits 5 mobs that are surronding me, so between that and wirlwind/cleave, I can out DPS any geared warrior in my guild.

Comment by Dain

The two tanks in my guild that have this (69 and 67 currently) still use it when they are tanking. Nothing that has dropped so far offers anything worth trading for the threat generation and dmg mitigation provided by TF's proc.

I suppose thats why its 'Legendary'

Blizz will have to wrack their brains long and hard to come up with something that is a viable upgrade or else TF tanks will be using it still at level 80 :P

Comment by Amethyst

I've been tanking lvl 70 instances for a couple of weeks now, including Karazhan, and can report that aggro holding is just fine with Thunderfury.

The proc rate seems to be about 20% at the moment (it's varied with a number of patches).

For working out equivalent dps weapon for threat generation, given that the proc does 300 damage on about 20% of hits, that's 300 x 0.20 = an average of an extra 60 damage per hit. Speed 1.90 means 60 / 1.90 = about 32 dps added by the proc, for a total of about 86 dps.

This means that, for pure threat generation, it's not worth switching to another weapon until you have a weapon that is more than 86 dps.

Also consider that the weapon proc can proc from non-damaging attacks such as sunder as well though.

The only problem I have found is that 20% chance is 20% chance, nothing guaranteed. If you start a boss fight and the sword doesn't proc in the first 10 attacks (unlikely, but can happen) then you can find yourself significantly lower on aggro than you would expect.

I intend to eventually get a 90+ dps one-hander and test the differences.

The attack speed reduction effect is still awesome though for reducing incoming damage on the tank.

Comment by Dain

Patch 2.0.10

The threat generated from the spell effect on "Thunderfury" has been substantially reduced.

Very creative of Blizz to try and force newer weapons on warriors by nerfing what they already had.

Comment by gakuto

Yes, this is now truly a rogue weapon. (LOL@warriors)
In all seriousness, it is still one of the top weapon choices for a rogue.

Comment by Borcou

Well Dingo22, that's awesome it really is. But what you (and like so many other "tanks" I've come across) your weapon dmg, AoE, etc, does not make you a good tank. It simply makes you a fury wanna-be warrior w/ his prot tree filled up. The proc creates huge threat, that's PERFECT for tanking, yes, but you don't need to "out DPS" yer entire guild to be recognized as a good tank IMO, but I'm just a poor old regular prot warrior. What do I know about tanking? Oo

Comment by happysocks

In the the latest patch (2.0.10.6448) the threat generated from the Thuderfury proc was reduced. Still good for tanking but the effect of ThunderClap has been increased and is usable in defensive stance, thus making it less neccessary for a lvl 70 tank to use/want this item.

Comment by Archangel

From my understanding, this is still one of the best off-hand sword for rogues at level 70;
-the proc is excellent and has a good chance to proc.
-the DPS from the proc makes it just almost the highest one-handed DPS sword in-game. At the least, it is still very competative.
-the 1.9 speed is not too bad for using Shiv when needbe. It makes for only 39 energy. Shiv can also make is proc.
-teh threat reduction goes well with rogues, allowing an excellent proc with little extra threat in raid situations.
-it looks sweet.

Even at level 70, some rogues have been keeping this weapon. It's an excellent choice and I would even go as far as to say it is still worht crafting.

Comment by Azhag

I was testing and comparing tanking weapons in the last days a lot because I really wanted to know how much impact the newest changes on my loved legendary sword have. I don't want to talk about tanking (multiple) trash mobs in Karazhan ore elsewhere it's just not worth it.

Thunderfury is still the most powerful high-end encounter tanking weapon out there after 2.0.10. It is not only the (nerfed) average threat generation which is still a bit higher then King's Defender much more important is the substantial debuff which reduces the target's attack speed by 20% and makes this weapon so powerful versus melee damage intensive encounters (i.e. Gruul, Prince phase 2). The raid has has to deal with a remarkable lower amount of damage on the tank and consequently there is less healing needed.

This debuff is the reason why warriors of the top guilds like Nihilum or DnT still use this weapon...provided that they got it.

Comment by Darkside

in my opinion this sword is not worth the time u waste on this stupid weapon.

Comment by zang1983

Do the thunderfury and the thunderclap debuff stack?

Comment by blueblood

No, the TF affect and Thunder Clap don't stack.

Comment by Thunderbull

agree
and little hint: Blizz had reduced additional aggro from sword, not removed it (*_additional_* aggro.O).

Comment by TheRaven

I seem to notice them stacking

Comment by malandora

I am offhanding TF on my combat rogue and while yes the 1.9 speed does lower the chance for combat potency procs, the large amount of unmitigated damage from the TF proc makes up for this. This makes TF an excellent offhand choice for rogues in TBC.

Since the debuff does not stack with thunderclap, and TC is the same 20% slow as TF, it isn't as vital in PVE as it once was. However, a rogue with it being there alleviates the tank from having to spend rage on keeping TC up.

In addition, the -15NR debuff helps with poison (less resists) and increases the damage from nature based casters (shaman/druid).

In pvp it is still awesome, the 20% atk speed slow affects enemy players as well and decreases the damage taken from all physical damage dealers. This essentially means the proc turns a warrior's 3.0 speed 2hander into a 3.6 (ouch). It is too bad it doesn't increase spell cast time as well, but that's what mind numbing poison is for :-P

As a rogue, I've found that TF is most versitile, useful, and just plain coolest weapon a rogue could have. It's sad that because of TF's overpowered tanking factor that most of them went to warriors.

Since the addition of new, high dps tanking weapons, the threat nerf to TF, and the change to thunderclap(usable in defensive stance now), chances are you will see less and less warriors using this weapon.

It is still a very good rogue weapon though...

Comment by AGraCru

Chances are you'll see less and less Warriors wielding TF because *no one runs the instances that you have to farm to acquire one*. Seriously, who the hell is going to re-farm MC and BWL for a TF these days? I'd laugh if one of my Rogues suggested we farm one or two of these up. Hard.

My interest in TF is only renewed by a supposed questline to upgrade it; I firmly believe this is total bull, but the possibility is still mildly tantalizing. I still doubt it'll be worth farming one up.

Comment by AGraCru

How do guilds working on new content have "a couple of hours" to farm two legendary drops that have exceptionally low drop rates?

If the drop %s were higher, if the instances were on a one day timer, that I could see. But if you're serious about progressing, farming MC and BWL for the items required seems a massive waste of time when you could be progressing just fine without the legendary item yielded by doing so.

Comment by avenger

We did whole mc today with less than 20 for our MTs Thunderfury .. he got lucky as hell, he got BOTH bindings in 3 weeks.

Comment by AGraCru

The operative word here is "lucky".

Comment by AGraCru

The operative word in that phrase is still "lucky".

Comment by Skyfire

Yes, but it should probably be noted that there isn't any Strength or AP on Thunderfury. Not that there is a whole lot of that on tanking weapons, but it should still be commented on.

Comment by rakashu

Last Saturday I finally out of sheer luck had my left binding drop for me. It took 2 years in farming, but it finally dropped and I was able to have in my bags both the left and right binding.

Currently I am now farming the arcanite to build this sword. Some have asked me what exactly the point of building it is, now that there are so many superior level 70 epic tanking weapons. I'd say it's sheer spite that I was never able to have it at 60, and it was the one and only item I would have died for.

If any of you were like me, and had just one binding and the never dropped, don't forget about it! Go back and farm for that last binding, who knows you may get lucky (We had both bindings drop in that one run). Because when you have that legendary weapon finally within your grasp, you'll finally feel that sense of relief you only wish you could have had at 60.

Comment by Vindicator

Geddon binding in my bags for over a year now.. still waiting on that Garr binding... thanks blizz

Comment by Skyfire

Heh. I commented on it's lack of DPS enhancing features, save for the proc, which can be found on other weapons. Again, I don't have an exact number (even if that number isn't 0), which is why I said what I said. ;-P

Comment by AGraCru

Try and silence me. The operative phrase is STILL lucky.

No weapon generates more threat for a Prot Warrior, but getting it still proves to be a pain in the ass even at level 70. The time invested may or may not be worth it; it's up to how dedicated you and yours are to getting one of these bad boys made.

Comment by sherretz

Keep in mind that even Nihilum; arguably tops in the World for progression raiding; is still using TFs. Two of their BT raiders have them.

That alone tells me that working for this weapon is still worth it, since nothing yet up to BT has dropped that is arguably equivalent or better.

/signed and agree.

Im still using it as offhand and loving it :)
Going to wield the Gladiator's Slicer mainhand and the TF offhand with dual mongoose enchants, and with all the haste attacks the procs from both TF and mongoose does really sick damage.

And as a note to the warrior/rogue debate, some guilds have more luck then others we created our MT`s and my thunderfury in less then 6 months or so.

He got his first ofc and since i collected mats and helped out creating the 1st sword i got the chance to get the 2nd (if the bindings would drop again)
So for me as a rogue i couldn`t be more happy to wield it still in TBC and the debuff is pretty good for the whole raid especially since our MT went fury and now almost stopped raiding we still have one in guild on raids.

For me to actually get the bindings to drop and to be able to create the sword after collecting the mats (insane work pre TBC) beats the feeling of downing any of the raid bosses :)
Anyone that ever created the sword deserve it and will love it for a long time to come.

Comment by demonblood

my self on offical even now with my lvl 70 rogue i still carry with weapon on my offhand for pvp still really usefull and the proc is still usefull in the bad encounters u have in pvp i will have to say JiddrarenOF is right its one of these weapons u cant get rid of even tho there are other weapons out there that more effective

as it goes for the warrior/rouge thing pvp wise it be longs to a rouge more than fury/arms warrior pvp wise

Comment by Thratchen

Sigh. We did a fun MC Run today and I (BE Paly) lost it to a warrior. What a shame. Would have loved to be the first and only BE Paly with TF on this planet :D

BTW my (fairly small) guild has to completed TF, thanks to our excellent Loot Masters.

For a complete run of MC we had roughly 20 players, of which 13 were 70s and 7 were 60+. Took 4.5 hours this time. ZG yesterday was 1.5 hours with 10 people, I guess we'll be farming this instance for raptor and tiger mounts.

Comment by beretta

There is no way "This" dropped for you today......... Did you not bother reading ANY of this page before trying to look hardcore and lying out your ass?

It's crafted........ Two peices, then a series of quests, then an assload of materials.

Kindly go die in a fire.

Edit: And ittook people 2 hours to clear MC 2 years ago........ its taking you 4.5 now...... make it a BIG fire.

Comment by biggamer155

this may sound like a stupid question but can you get like 2 versions of this wepon and dual weild them

Comment by malandora

Thunderfury was the holy grail for tanks Pre-BC, but not anymore. Very few of the top guild's tanks are using it anymore, as weapons from Black Temple are by far much better. King's Defender and The Sun Eater are pretty much on par with TF, if not a little better just due to the stats. They probably won't however generate as much threat.

Top guilds in Black Temple are now using The Brutalizer and the Mallet of the Tides on their tanks over Thunderfury. Why? Threat generation is about the same, if not more due to the weapon skill addition. These weapons also have added defense and more stamina that Thunderfury with its meager stats cannot offer.

I still use Thunderfury on my rogue because, well I worked for it. It makes my character unique, and I like that. The fact that it still does good DPS is just icing on the cake. Should a tank still use it if he has access to better weapons? Probably not. My loss of 9 DPS by using the sword over a better offhand cannot even compare to the importance of a tank holding aggro and having enough defense and stamina to stay alive.

Comment by GoGoGodzilla

Alright, WoWHeaders, I have a question.

A paladin I know is quite interested in going back to farm the Thunderfury. Is this actually worth the time invested, since we're on, what, 2.1.0 now?

I can't help but be skeptical.

Comment by Deedo

If he finde ppl that help him and are willing to farm it untill he got all the mats.....

Yes, but i don't think he will.

ppl rather run BC-instances and are focusing on the progres there insted of running to MC and BWL

Comment by Corbon

The speed of the weapon and the low dps makes it a poor choice for any raiding Combat Rogue. It's way too slow for the off hand (and shouldn't be used in off anyway due to the proc) and the 60-145 damage range is extremely low for a Lv 70 main hand weapon (Merciless Gladiator has 203-305, in comparison). Such a discrepancy cannot be compensated with the proc.

And yes, some tanks still use it, primarily because of the debuff, but Imp. Thunderclap is just as good and most epic tanking weapons have 1.6 speed, allowing a faster Heroic Strike cycle.

Comment by DreaneixTauren

According to the Brothers Tauren there are hidden effects:

35% chance on hit his puppy will fall down a well and his favorite great aunt will be eaten by a grizzly bear.
Also, all opponents stats will be reduced by 100% until next server restart(insta-nerfed)
Opponent will walk the rest of the day in a mild depression having been emasculated in front of it's peers.
Opponent may also be renamed by guild mates as Nancy, Susie, or Sissy Boy, in the event opponent is female, her name will be Brad.

IT'S AWESOME!

Comment by nanometer

I think the point he was making is that if you mainhand it, it will proc more often due to instant attacks. Still not a good reason to mainhand it anymore from a dps perspective.

Comment by Neifel

This sword dont go so very good damage, but it have nice speed. Before some patches it was main hand, and that sucks! That weapon is better for off-hand.

Comment by Mala09

Still thunderfury is still on of the greatest tanking weps out there pre-BT/hyjal......the main tank of nihilum had thunderfury even in alll t6 and he JUST replaced it with one of the only weps that can top it- The Unbreakable Will-so dont down size thunderfury if people still have it they have it for a reason-KICk ASS
p.s. a tier 5 warrior on my server still uses it for main tank...and loves it.

Comment by Blakehu

Is this quest repeatable cause I want to dual weild this sword.

Comment by Tankadin

this is still a viable tank item as the proc causes larges amounts of threat, my guild leader(who's also MT) still uses it and ur right he worked hard 2 get it so he's gonna keep using it

Comment by Batleth

I just saw a video on YouTube of a Protection Paladin tanking both mini-bosses and the first boss, Capacitus, in Heroic Mech...AT THE SAME TIME, without losing aggro once. She had Thunderfury equipped at the time. This sword is still an outstanding tanking weapon. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something...

Comment by Lallipalli

This is the best /2 spam weapon ever :D

Comment by xkramx1

lol if you actually read about the video you would know that that paladin changes the skins of their weapons and armor, and that they aren't really using thunderfury

Comment by anakha

Sometimes math&theorycrafting can cloud some important truths. Such is the fate of Thunderfury.

It is a true and perfectly valid argument that TF lacks stats when compared to even King's Defender.

But lets be realistic, how much mitigation your MT will want before he starts to see threat is the main concern of tanking. Until he gets his gear, yeah new epics will offer more protection. But at some point into TBC raid contect, you will see you tanks will have enough mitigation through armor & jewellary and they will start being worried about threat because your raid DPS will be going up continously while your tanks will be working on survival.

When you reach that point, you will wish your MT had TF over any other weapon out there.

I am GM of a guild and we are on Vashj & Kael now. I honestly wish at least one of our tanks (we do not have an appointed MT) had TF instead of the mallet of tides that they all have :)

I am very seriously considering spending time to go to MC & BWL to craft TF for our tanks.

Imo the slow debuff and massive threat generation makes this weapon very superior over any other existing alternatives.

Comment by Myraxa

Nowadays, weapon DPS is one of the least important ways to maintain threat. At SSC/TK level, tank weapons should not be chosen for their threat gen abilities--they should be used situationally based on their attributes. If you need hit/armor, use King's Defender. If you want pure mitigation/crushproofing, use Sun Eater. If you want stam or expertise, use Mallet of the Tides, etc. It's a fact that a tank's ability to generate threat WILL increase along with raid DPS as you progress. Why? Because of Block Value.

By the time you reach SSC and TK, tanks should be getting massive amounts of block value on their gear, making Shield Slam the primary threat generator. With a block value of 881, I regularly hit 1100-1200 threat per second on SSC and TK mobs. When you're maintaining that, no one's gonna pull aggro.

Add in revenge and the combined devastate and sunder, and the DPS in weapon differences aren't going to matter one bit. As for the slowing proc, imp thunderclap is superior to the TF proc, because it lasts longer and is not dependent on a random proc.

So don't waste your time farming for TF. Farm more T5 instead.

Comment by frozencpu

I agree with Myraxa post here. I have warrior that i tank for my guild. And i used TF up prior on getting malet. I can see why alot of ppl still wana get it but unfortunatly its became obsolete awhile ago. Just some facts about TF that i have figured for my own self while i was tanking. TF has roughly 91 DPS when you calculate the proc into it considering it procs atleast 4-5 times in fight so even with mongoose it has very substential DPS now the biggest problem ive came across in T5 instances while having a TF is that basiclly before it procs you have no initial aggro on mutiple mobs which could be very crucial to the raid. By all means if you are tank in T4-T5 gear or greater you shouldnt have a problem loosing aggro which ever weapons you will be using but the main problem is that it dosent do any dmg whats so ever before it procs causing sometimes some problems to the tank by trying to get aggro back on all the mobs. I still used TF over Kings or sun eater but it allways depends on situation while tanking trash or tanking a boss so it more of preference on how you want youre DPS to reflect on certain target where TF stats are just crap.

Now the only good think about TF that i can recall is basicly the rage buid that you would get with it going into the fight other then that thunderclap is just as efficient as the proc on it.

And for all the ppl that consider in getting this i would not recomend it because you guys going for the lost cause not too mention the right binding took allmost 7 month to get on my server. And as far as the most superior tanking weapon in my opinion would be the unbrakable will.

So go and farm some T5-T6 instances instead : )

My .02 cents

Comment by b1gbird33

I have it on my warrior I still use this I got full Doomplate except my tier 4 hands and couple plate that droped in kar I like this weapon because it is fast and extremely nice because I'm a pvp dps aka Fury/prot and sometime tank extremely nice for dps/tanking imo and will be till we hit the eye or a bigger raid for this time being I'm keeping this

Comment by b1gbird33

I still think this is one of the best and favorite I mean I'm fury sometimes and dps karazhan put this offhand main hand fool's bane love the dps with both mongoose I also find it hard to completely want to just put this off for those who earned this prebc would understand took me close to a year of raiding mc over and over while guild had extra time people who never got this doesn't have to right to just say omg crap crap crap because they never had to earn it. I like this I still think this is one of the biggest bad ass looking weapon in the game imo and also helps alot with balance druids because when it procs it give -25 resist to nature spells .. (balance druids with the right gear could dps just as much as feral)

I WANT ONE !!

i quit wow but i'm coming back this week with the primary objective of gettin that sword.
its pre-bc i know, but there're tanks still use thunderfury as a tanking wpn -as ppl mentioned b4 me- for its threat generating proc, which is helpful especially for warriors to hold agro on multiple targets.

some tanks from amazing end-game guilds in my server use that wpn in SSC to this minute..

I STILL WANT ONE!!

EDIT: typo

Comment by Ptangh

I wonder what Thunderfury disenchants to.

Comment by Discover

You cannot disenchant a legendary.

Comment by shawarmakriger

What does this disenchant into?

Comment by Poposhka

It would be cool if Bliz also buffed TF a bit, giving us an incentive to raid those dungeons again... heck.. why not revamp MC/BWL into 70 dungeons.... i know it sounds crazy.. but i kinda miss them :)

Comment by chaos155

Had the bindings drop just aweek apart from each other, and our mt warrior got em, of course, he had all the other crap he needed pretty much, mind you he was in kara/gruuls and a little tk/ssc gear, had the mace off lurker and shield off gruul blah blah, but the moment he got Thundefury, he got out his old tanking gear from the 60 raids...and used that gear instead of the 70 gear he had...he refused to use his 70 gear and was quickly replaced by a new main tank...he considered himself to be the better tank since he had thunderfury...how can one say that when they get 1-3 shotted by high king mulgore or even Attumen the huntsman...just goes to show what gear can do to some people. <3 TF!

Comment by vendrel

does anyone ever bother to get this anymore now that TBC is out?

Comment by nofax1

i just got the bindings off of Baron this past weekend for my tank. I don't care if it take me to level 80, I want THUNDERFURY!

Comment by blakcrusader

if you waisted your pre TBC life trying to get it, it drops alot mroe now that no one farms MC, so if you want one, get the lube (few thousand gold) for your guild to get your this aggro master, and get the mats for both it and the get +20 strenght enchant, any you have pretty much a reason to run mc for like a month

Comment by Spitenike

A friend of mine uses is while tanking in kara and gruul, it procs very often and the proc deals alot of threat so it can be really good at some of the "easier" instances

Comment by Spitenike

Yeah a friend of mine uses this while tanking and the threat the proc generates is just crazy. The only backside to it is bosses where you need a second tank taking aggro from him where they have trouble unless he stops attacking at all :P

Comment by Sardon

I had a question about this as far as lvl70+ mobs are concerned. Even though it says the debuff reduces their attack speed by 20%, does it scale that way? Or is it more-like 10% or less?

I ask this because I'm going to be DPSing with my guild now, and wanted to know if on boss fights it'd be worth off-handing Thunderfury to reduce a boss' physical attack DPS, but if it's less than Thunderclap, I don't see much of a reason to lose that extra damage I could get by off-handing my gladiator sword.

Comment by Batleth

Ok, this may seem like a dumb question, but I wanted to get it clarified here. Let me preface this by saying that I would assume that the lightning attack that TF generates would jump to targets within a certain radius of the main target and if any of those radial targets are cc'd in any way, that the attack would break the CC. However, I've had several people swear that their CC was not broken when the Tank was using Thunderfury and lightning was bouncing all over the place. So does this thing break CC's or not??
Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind! I got my question answered! It DOES NOT break CC's. :-)

Comment by Gosford

Rumor has it that both bindings are a guarantee drop now. I havent seen any blue posts yet about it but I have talked to a few sources about it from separate guild runs and it has happened more than once. Possibly the last patch?

Any news or confirmation on this?

Comment by virozir

If you can't find molten core then you shouldn't be trying to get the Thunderfury.

Comment by paccy2k

it doesnt break CC

Comment by Pyroshen

Wowzers, that comment was amazing. If you can't even FIND Molten Core you need to give up on this item.

Did you read anything at all on this page before posting?

Comment by oyvind

Its a bit good tank weapon becuse it got this chance on hit thing that strikes the enemys around you.

Comment by Varmkorx

Hunter weapon!

Comment by Wrack

Does anyone know what the actual threat is for each proc on the non-target enemies? Is it even equivalent to a thunderclap, because I'm wondering if it's feasible to get outside of the debuff.

Comment by BurningStick

Duel wield Quel'Serrar http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18348 and Thunderfury http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19019# and you got real good someoff gear :)

Comment by Nummytaterz

Pity that Blizzard confirmed no Legendaries will be upgraded sad to see the hard work guilds put in for this kinda stuff Atiesh,Thunderfury,Sulfuras, all of it worthless now

Comment by Thunderstyle

Well guys... Blizzard has already talked about a Naxx V.2 so maybe Atiesh V.2 is coming too :)

Corrupted Ashbringer will in Notherend change to a level 80 weapon and then you can get The Ashbring (/Salute)

Atiesh version 2 will maybe be powerfull but not to powerfull i think.

Thunderfury will still stay as a level 60 weapon i think. but still i see top tanks on my realm tank Illidan with Thunderfury so maybe it is good

Comment by blitzkrieggr

Got my last binding a week ago... It was so hard to find elementium ores but i did and i m so happy to have this sword on my offhand .It worths everything you ll do for it and the proc is kick ass ,even at 70 lvl..

God I love this sword :>

Comment by lundis

i think they shud make it easier getting tf now with tbc out and all. maybe making the dropchance bigger from garr and barron geddon so u can get it faster. the only reason its still in poeples hands is coz of looks or aoe grinding

Thinderfury FTW

Comment by Jaood

The screenshot with the Orc Priest is priceless.

Devout != Priest. It's not a class bound so you're looking at either a Warrior, Hunter, or Rogue.

Best pre-TBC tank weapon

Comment by 2OfDiamonds

Even if you could, if you actually disenchanted one, the antichrist would come by your door and stab you in the eyes.

Comment by lundis

they should consider raising the droprate on the bindings so new players can obtain it. maybe raise it to 5%-10% drop chance from garr and baron geddon that would really help

Comment by chesterhiggins

i need to know, where is the initial quest to start the entire quest line for thunderfury?

Comment by 2OfDiamonds

molten core is in blackrock mountain, searing gorge. it requires you to attune first, the prequest is in blackrock mountain too and involves blackrock depths.

the quest chain to get this weapon is started by a drop from 1 of 2 bosses in molten core, and you still need to get the drop from the other boss later, along with alot of (previously hard to get) materials.

Molten Core is inside Black Rock Deepths , and is a 40 man raid. Read to know how to get the sword :\

Comment by daweedian

I am rogue and i am mostly PvP and i don't raid much so i don't know much about tanking, but i wander would it be good for warriors to have Darkmoon Card: Maelstrom or Romulo's Poison Vial or even both with their TF. Wouldn't it make great threat! I am not sure how often those trinkets proc, but i think that 3 different nature procs(with TF's decreased nature resistance) make more threat than any TBC tanking weapon!

Comment by Imperi4

i wound like to ask if this sword is good for rogues?

and if yes/no ... why?

You need gold to get geared out so you have a chance to get this weapon then go to Tngoldfarm.com is a North American gold farming business. Visit us today at tngoldfarm.com for cheap prices and fast delivery with our dedicated representatives. 1000g = $25, 5000g = $125

Comment by Majordeath

I had this sword before Burning Crusade... It was good then but now it is too week, I still have it in my bank though. Running around IF with it makes me feel... important

Comment by exbest182

After two years, I finally got mine tonight. I've been soloing Garr for about 2 1/2 months, and tonight the binding finally dropped. I used it tonight in BT, and had no issues at all with threat, maybe a minor drop, if any, I had my whole raid looking out and told them to tell me if there was any kind of significant difference in threat to tell me and I'd switch back to my normal weapon (Brutalizer) and nobody said a word all night.. so I think if you're a good tank, and have a good rotation, you'd still be fine using this sword. Granted you might want the extra stam for some fights, but as a whole, I didn't notice any problems at all. In my opinion, it's still worth getting especially if you've been trying for it for a long time.

Comment by daweedian

I asked same question before, but no one answered to me and my comment got deleted, so i will ask it again! What if warrior use this sword in combination with Romulo's poison vial and with Darkmoon card: Maelstrom, wouldn't it make great threat since thunderfury have proc that lowers nature resistance and those trinkets proc nature dmg. Have anyone tried this?

Comment by Healingproof

This sword is Truley imba for pvp as a warrior! When your healer needs to drink, or against double dps combo, this is imba since the 20 % slower attackspeed debuff! But i still doubt it is worth its effiort..

Comment by sidiousrage

Thunderfury is the best tanking sword up until The Unbreakable Will (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30874).

Comment by mikeqc603

how do u get the link for like Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Strength links or did they take that out.

Comment by evrama

It bears repeating: Improved Thunder Clap.

I got to watch an otherwise well-geared warrior repeatedly lose aggro to my poorly geared mage because he insisted on using Thunderfury instead.

And for the record, it's (minus the spaces) Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker or something similar to link.

Comment by turdle

Nihilum used TF all the way to BT, so if you know how to tank in the first place, you shouldn't have too many agro problems with TF. Imo, its the coolest looking weapon ever made in MMO history, so I would definitely get it if I had the chance.

Comment by sk8punk918

I would agree that this is a good tanking sword, although there will NO DOUBT be better items in WotLK.

There are a few classes that may benefit in different ways from every aspect of this weapon. I know all of these can be opinionated, but it is just my two cents and more or less correct no matter what you argue.

Druids - high nature damage output classes and some of them choose to use DPS weapons for kitty form and a few of the spells they have in feral that cause nature damage. I have no argument against it because obviously faster weapons means faster attacks and more spell damage means more booty kickin'. ;)

Hunters - Probably the most used sting is the Serpent's Sting which has a high plus for a hunter's damage output AND it is the only true DoT that a hunter will use. Viper and Scorpid Sting don't do any damage, therefore are not actual DoTs.

Rogues - All I have to say is off hand DPS, +posion dmg, best AoE they can get, ANOTHER slow, and decent weapon damage on a DPS weapon. I don't mean to state the obvious, but some people just do not understand what they are presented with to the fullest. Great weapon for this class.

Tanks - Good for holding aggro, but not the best since the s4, t6, and SWP items. Those items give highly superior damage output as well.

Almost every melee class would be upgrading SOMETHING with this weapon, but when the new Xpack gets here.. This will be another one of WoW's good memories :/

With all of this said, it is a damn cool lookin' weapon that I would love to obtain for the achievement, novelty, brag rights, and just for play ;)

Comment by Zaan3

did anyone notice that it looks a bit similar to the Energy Sword from the Halo series?

Comment by Illiridan

Maybe in WoTLK this sword will be powered up.It is a quite good sword and would be bad to lose it/

Comment by morrb

Every class can get this weapon? I'm a shamy and want it for the achievement

Comment by despyz

There seems to be a lot of people wondering if Thunderfury is still obtainable. In my post I will clear up a few things.

1.) The bindings, which are needed to create this weapon, drop off Baron Geddon in Molten Core - http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=12056 and Garr in Molten Core respectively http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=12057 .

2.) Anyone can "loot" the bindings, but the only classes that can use it are Warriors, Paladins, Hunters, and Rogues. This is written on the bindings.

3.) In Patch 3.03 a bug occurred where Smelt Elementium could no longer be taught by Master Elemental Shaper Krixix. Krixix must be mind controlled by a Priest and can teach a miner of 300 skill or more "Smelt Elementium." However the bug persists and no one can learn it.

If you recieve a binding, your best bet is to petition a GM and ask if they can assist you in the situation. Some people have reported now that you can only learn Smelt Elementium if you have a piece of the binding, I do not know this for sure though.

Comment by Yascz

Master Elemental Shaper Krixix (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=14401) in Blackwing Lair teaches that, when MC'ed

Comment by raffi

Comment by Heika

u could also find a oldschool miner to smelt it for u :)

Comment by Legomyegolas

I think the real question here is, what does it disenchant into?

Comment by FinalMasterM

DKs seeking this are out of luck. The item(s) used to start the quest are still only usable by Warriors, Rogues, Hunters and Paladins.

Comment by eggbeater

As a prot pally i was able to solo Garr and Baron Geddon. Garr was pretty easy with 10 man naxx gear but Baron was much more difficult. I wore my holy gear and basically auto attacked and healed myself as he died. it took about 30 mins doing 300dps. It was important to be at full HP before you blew up or he could combo you from a crit bomb and fall damage. I got as low as 1k hp at one point but with seal of wisdom and divine plea I never went oom.

Neither of the bosses dropped my bindings though =/

Comment by Townportal

I'm surprised to see that no one has mentioned yet that as it stands now - Elementium Bars are impossible to make.

Everyone who knew how to smelt it forgot how and the mob that teaches it in BWL is bugged and can no longer teach it.

So unless you had the bars already - there's no more Thunderfurys till this gets fixed.

Comment by Fearl

Deathknights can seemingly also complete the quest and therefore recieve this as shown by http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Frostmane&n=dragoth .

Comment by Contradiktionz

It is confirmed that Death Knights can indeed do the quests for, and equip the Thunderfury.

If he is not wearing it at the time when you view his armory, you can see it in his achievements.

Comment by Nirron

Death Knights are able to obtain this weapon, but its not clear if it is working as intended.
They might have added the class to the weapon or might have forgotten to put a restriction on it for Death Knights.

Comment by Madril

I need to know this!

If you check out: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Frostmane&n=Dragoth

You will see that he as a Death Knight have Thunderfury, what i'm interested in knowing is how on earth this is possible as the bindings isn't exactly Death Knight available? :(

Comment by Thalander

I don't want to be any kind of rude or something - but something made me wonder:

Dragoth - a Death Knight - has Thunderfury
How could he obtain it?

Armory

Don't know how long you actually can see him wear it, but take a look for yourself

Comment by xoanovawolf

im sry for my bad english skillz.

i have a hunch now i culd be completely rong about it tho but as far as i can tell NONE of the legendary items that people use to be able to get people cant now. Take Atiesh for example no 1 can get it since Nax moved to Northrend since WotLK.

Thr is also Ashbringer which can not be claimed bcuz it is now in the hands of the paladin Tirion Fordring (once again sry if i spelt that rong)

im starting to think that Blizzards so called "bug" is actually either A: a posible introduction to new legendary items or something of the sort, or B: Blizz just decided to cut out those legendary items all together.

correct me if im rong but i havn't found any legendary items besides that located in TK the Eye raid in the Kael'thas encounter or Atiesh encounter with Adonisis, reaper of souls. one thing is for certian Blizz is planing something im sure that they will reveal it soon enuf. so keep an eye out...

Comment by AzureShadow42

Anyone with a warrior who still has this and Sulfuras lying around from endgame Classic, I strongly suggest taking the Titan's Grip talent and dual-wielding them for the epicness of it. And make sure you put a screenshot of it on here, too!

it can't be dual-wielded, it is unique!

Re-look at his achievements. FYI the Thunderfury achievement is under Feats of Strength. So you don't spend 20minutes scanning through achievements.

Comment by butternugs

Heres what i need to know. People have been telling me that soon blizzard will be taking away the class specifics on the weapon and the quest line. So does this mean that my warlock can aquire TF? LOL! I already have the 10 bars. Just need the bindings. But if anyone can confirm this for me or prove that i am completely wasting my time, i would greatly appreciate it.

Comment by Emserz

I've over the last 4 days bought the mats for the elementium bars via AH, heres a overlook of the prices atm:

The 10 elementium ore's only cost me about 775g buying them off AH.
Luckily i have a transmute master alch and got off all the 100 arcanite bars for around 220g worth of mats, (got aprox 20 arcanite bars free from the transmute proc).
I got the 30 elemental flux's i needed for 360g(12g a piece because of exalted rep).
The fiery core's cost me about 50g a piece.

so cost for 10xelementium bars is aprox:

10xElementium ore's: 775g
100xArcanite bars: 220g
30xElemental flux: 360g
10xFiery core's: 500g

Total: 1855,-

I dont think it can be bought much cheaper than this, i have been lucky on some of the mats. but you should probably expect to pay 1600-2200g on the AH for these mats.

Comment by Heiniken

Got this on my DK yesterday on Black dragonflight US. Soloed Garr and Geddon for the bindings, 3 people to take down rag for the essence, and soloed Thunderaan after I got all the mats together.

Comment by fathen101

Its pretty funny actually.. I decided to whip out my TF from my bank and tank 25man naxx with it the other day... It's still a beast of a tanking weapon, was able to tank with it just fine maintaining a few 100k+ threat over the rest of the raid on boss encounters...it may not have the stats like the new and better weapons available...but it still generates a good amount to still be able to tank with. lol

Comment by Freechoice

I certainly want to tank with this weapon simply because of the proc. It frees two talent points from my tree and boosts Boomkin and Shammy DPS by lowering nature resist. Sure Hammer of the Righteous is reliant on weapon DPS, but I'd say the points, bonus nature DPS and sheer E-Peen of this weapon make it worth it.

Comment by mgerg

I got the left binding yesterday on a run to Moltencore. After i got the binding i wanted to head to silithus to start my grind for Silithid Carapaces for repuation with the Brood of Nozdormu and realised that the Bindings NPC is also in the area so i had a look.

It turns out that once you hand in the binding he gives you a Legendary quest, which is to look at the item he gave you and then hand it back to him. He will then give no further quest but asks you to Obtain the Right Windseeker Binding along with 10 Elementium Bars and an Essence of Ragnaros which is a 100% drop rate.

I realised that.. i could of went to silithus and got the quest for the Essence and save more time in the long run, but killed Ragnaros without looking into the quest a little further.

Comment by Undiscovered

I really cant understand why they have removed the class restrictions on this item. It maybe was a bit pointless ever having hunter on there but i mean whats next why not add Death Knight tier one and two or even better remove the class restrictions on the Warglaives of Azzinoth i would be well game for farming for them. Female Troll hunter with 2 Warglavies would be the sex

Its in a way a sad end to such a fantasic weapon when you think of the time effort whole guilds put into running MC and BWL. I know it had to come with the level cap increasing etc etc but evertime i see or hear of a Death Knight or some clueless idiot running round with this makes me a little upset. Dont get me wrong if a binding dropped for me i would take and be very happy kinda serve to remind me of the epic times we had back in vanilla wow

To all that are farming this item Best of luck

Comment by Noobman

__Edited from a random comment I placed elsewhere (New to wowheads system)--

Have blizzard increased the % on the bindings now?
All I seem to read is DK's commenting on "oh I went into MC and the bindings dropped, I've only been in there twice" or others stating "oh yay both bindings on one run". I've done a hell alot of MC's, pre bc on my hunter, bc on my paladin and now wrath on my warrior. All while doing more than 1 run per reset and I have yet to see them.
Thankfully last reset the eye off rag dropped, after a week or two more weeks of farming mountains he'll be the first BE paladin I see with Hand of Rag.
Hopefully the bindings drop this week on my warrior, I'll cry if I get them on my hunter :/

Comment by remotettl

in classic this weapon was.... godlike. not cause of dps rate, but cause of efect.
even when tbc came out, it still was imba. you can tank whole ssc/tk mob group without problem.
in wrath you probabl will use it only cause you can show that you have it.
but even then - you need to do this quest line, that costs more than you can possibly afford. in wrath even prices for reagents needed to do this quest is still high.

and get someone to help you with old quest - only if you got some guild, that wana do some old events. once tried get help after AQ20 run.... failed.... aq40 - same. so maybe only way to get some help - pay :)

one rogue told me his tale: he joined guild, they went to mc - and.... boss dropped bindings. all who can need it, rolled, but rogue didnt get it. warrior, tank, got it. same was 2nd time and 3rd. so he joined 3 different guilds, and all they gave this rare drop to tanks. :D
and there is many ninjas. if this drops, and they can use it, they just loot ir and Rover . same was with Ashes of Al`ar. rogue, ninjad it in TK.looted it and disbanded raid. dropped from Kelt himself.

good luck to obtain this still awesome looking weapon.

Comment by frmrpreztaft

Nearly three years after i got my first binding, i finally had the Garr binding drop on 2/28/09. It may have been the happiest day of my gaming life. Since i had the ore banked since the BWL days, i went ahead and smelted it and took a PUG 5 man to kill Thunderaan, and that was that.

The only complaint i have is that the fight with Thunderaan was a little anti-climactic, but i do remember even at level 60 it was not all that difficult.

After two days of Carrying this thing around Dalaran, i finally unequipped it, the sea of whispers asking how/where i got it were too much to bear. Regardless, i do love running around with it, it really is a beautiful sword.

Next up: Offhand warglaive. however, i don't think it will be possible to 3-man BT like it was MC at 80 ;-)

good luck to all you Binding-seekers, be persistent, IT WILL EVENTUALLY DROP.

Comment by CircuAuchindoun

Now that all I'm waiting on is my second binding I have been reading up quite a bit about this sword. Aside from its RP factor in town, it seems that skilled/geared warriors are able to whip it out for the "Lawl-Wrath" content. Seeing as Paladins threat generation is affected more by the weapons base DPS I'm wondering if any of my fellow tankadins have bothered giving this a try for even trash?

My 2nd and much more important question for every one who has the pleasure of equipping this weapon is: What enchant looks hands down coolest on it?

Comment by cioudhead

I though all legendary items accquirable by normal players hv feats of strength

Comment by greengoo

For anybody who can't be bothered to get a group for Thundaren. I got my second binding last night then went to Silithus and I can confirm he is definitely soloable. HE only has 320,000 hp and barely hits for anything.

Comment by Synrithh

Iamwiddeh is one of the few DK's that has gotten this item, he's on Shattered Hand EU!

Comment by UberTomm

It would be really cool for a Warrior to dual-wield this and Sulfuras. :D Almost useless at level 80, but having these legendaries would still be really awesome.

It's true.

A warlock on Tortheldrin always logs out with his Thunderfury on.

is this sword still uptainable? im thinking of grinding it for some tanking:)

Comment by Prostyle

is this sword still uptainable? im thinking of grinding it for some tanking:)

No, but it is obtainable.

Comment by verriberri

Recent patches removed all class requirements from the bindings making it become a quest available to all classes if you acquire one of the bindings. Only sword wielding classes can actually equip the item still. The sword has become more of a novelty than anything usable now. Still one of those jaw-droppers out there. Be sure to give anyone a pat on the back if you see them around!

If you're still after this item be sure to have a strong mindset and time to squeeze in a weekly MC run every week, along with buying the ore, or running BWL, and yes, it does take many months of attempts!

Good Luck!

A nice little trinket-weapon for the CoH, but the stats are very poor.
Plus restiance is nice, but, well, not really needed. unless in MC. THEN its needed.

Comment by ricearoni123

This sword is plausible to be used in raids with deathfrost, being able to reduce a mobs dps by 35% is massively good

Comment by TheGodless

Tested, while the casting slow does work with thunderfury, the weaponslow does not. Also, deathfrost doesnt work on high level mobs now.

Comment by Gunsdelight

Is it possible to solo getting this weapon at 80 or do you need guild help?

Comment by Chasecanales

Also: Death Knight useable!

Comment by Chasecanales

DEATH KNIGHT USEABLE!

Comment by Cattpride

This sword looks really sweet. Blizzard should change it's stats to make it a good WotLK weapon. In fact, Blizzard should make ALL Legendary class weapons really OP, 175+ DPS and a unique special effect, as a minimum for Legendary weapons. I mean, a Grey dagger, Dulled Shiv, does more damage than this weapon! Val'Anyr, is also weak as hell in DPS (compared to 99% of Ulduar weapons). Why does Blizzard hate Legendaries so much?

Comment by Roja

Well, Val'anyr isn't supposed to be used for DPS in the first place...

Comment by gnoumette

i have tank in Ulduar 25 naxx 25 and 10 some héro etc with this as a DK, the proc still work on boss (but sometimes / a lot dépending on what i don t know) only the first part of the debuff is applied on the boss, i don t know if perhaps penetration score can change that ? perhaps ..

on a fight like kolorgan (easy i know) the tanks switch and the trheat generation is not a problem so its "good".

When i am Main tank its really bad .. so i use it only sometimes when there s tanks ..

Comment by ricearoni123

are u ^&*!ing retarded? Valyanar is a caster thing, used for healers only, and this weapons dps sucks because it is from Pre-BC

Also Roja's comment is correct, y was it downrated?

Comment by mardus

Just got my Thunderfury and I am a mage (Torgun from Al-Akir).
I was lucky to get the both bindings from one Molten Core run so the hardest part for me was getting the ores. I farmed BWL trash and bought some from AH (price range 450-600g).
Thats it!

PS. I also added screenshot.

Comment by wildowned1995

This weapon is really nice to tank with, still it is a lvl 60 Legendary weapon.
I havent seen any tanks with it latly, but it holds aggro really nice. me and a friend is trying to farm it. but the Baron is really hard to down without fire resistance gear. Garr is simple, a tank who can AoE hold aggro just do their stuff. and a other healer or a dps can just heal you when needed, i prefer a ret paladin, dics priest, enhancement shaman or just an healer. i really want this weapon, im a Death Knight tank from Emeriss - Horde - Scurge
thnx !

Comment by RealFranchise01

It would also be usefull to players to know that the Dormant Wind Kissed Blade won't drop if you haven't made the previous Quest Chain started from Highlord Demitrian when one of the Bindings from Molten Core Drop.

Comment by outstanding

Went to molten core one day with a druid on my level 80 deathknight and killed garr and to my very luck the binding dropped so I decided to get all the needed mats and farm the second binding, after 5/6 solo kills of baron geddon the other binding dropped and I went straight away to silithus for to complete the quest and since then I always wear this sword ;p http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Boulderfist&n=Outstanding

Good luck to you farming this sword and I promise in the end it was all worth it.

Comment by cfeuer1

Ive been running this place weekly.
i take a Frost mage(myself, most $%^& is immune to fire), DPS frost dk as the tank, Resto shammy,Survival hunter(his guild makes him raid as that spec), and sometimes a Marksman hunter when hes around.

takes less than 2 hours to clear it, we don't kill every mob but we don't go out of our way to try and avoid everything(unless a simple swim/leap works).

you encounter garr first, he does an ability that slows everybodys movement speed by 60%(only movement, not cast/swing). he also dispels everybody like mad. having a DK, mage, and 1-2 hunters....we aoe it all. as the many many adds garr has around him die they explode, so killing mobs around him may help out.

then you get baron geddon. hes fully fire immune. he puts a debuff on you similar to solarian from TK. the difference is that you must run from the person with the debuff as they can not move(like with thorim). they then blow up causing pretty strong aoe damage and taking their own fall damage. baron puts a magic debuff on you "ignite mana" it burns away you mana and inflicts damage(if you are 100% oom you take no damage, we have no dispell in our group so we wait it out after killing him"Ice block ftw") also baron does a hellfire ability that causes strong aoe damage to anything around him(in our case its only the dk).

GL on your bindings, theres already enough posts on what items are needed. i will just add that if you get any sulferon ingots that you make good use of them. takes 8 of them to make the legendary mace(+1 ingot to learn how to make the epic mace, but its boe so it can be crafted and traded)

edit: lastly, there are no class restrictions on the legendary items(not thunderfury or greatstaff of the guardian"which is not attainable anyway").
anybody can do this, even a shaman(who can not weild a sword) can get thunderfury. I, the mage, am doing these runs to get the thunderfury myself, i made this group with friends and they have no problem with the first set of bindings going to me.

the down side...i keep buying the mats for it even though i have neither binding.

Comment by Crazyfish

both bindings in 4 mc runs.. god damn im happy

Comment by scorpidlight

Got mine the 14th of last month (07/14/09). Took me about 8 months in total to gather everything.

Just wanted to post to say I finally got it. Also, it gets used in bg's. Scares the ever-living $#!+ out of other players when it procs. Seen it make pallies bubble and mages ice-block.

<3 for such an awesome weapon!

As a sidenote, it's a little disheartening to realize so many people don't know what this sword, or mc/bwl is. T_T

Comment by BaNaNaS4EVR

:O its is one weapon im GOING to get! Reading everything was a good idea.:D

Comment by alexisonfire199

Dk Killemall from Lethon, I got mine on August 16th 2009. Took me around 8 months to get it, what took me so long is the elementium ores.Most ppl have no idea what Bwl is and they think it can be done by a couple of lvl 65 or 70. I had a really hard time finding the ppl willing to raid bwl. For the bindings I was very lucky, I got my second binding one week after the first.Thunderaan is easly soloable by any deathknights, just use death strike to heal yourself.

For those thinking about getting it, it is totally worth it. I get whispers all the time about it and I even raid ulduar 25 with it and still do good dps. Plus the debuff it puts on the mobs is awesome, looks very nice.

good luck getting yours.

next step the ragnaros hammer!

Comment by nickthegrrr

I'm thinking, what if a fury warrior were to dual wield this and sulfuras, hand of ragnaros?

Comment by SuperQue

If you plan to get Thunderfury (probably for sentimental value or just because you want a legendary) - do so before the Cataclysm expansion, as Ragnaros is essential for the quest item (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19017 if you didn't read above) - Blizzard is reintroducing him, so we obviously won't be able to head into MC and kill him then.

Comment by Elfhippie

Can anyone confirm weither or not the chance on hit effect will proc with Fan of Knives for rogues

Why did this get downrated its a serious question, might be helpful for some with the same question

Comment by Arkhan

Would the new epic Ulduar enchants be applicable to this? The enchant states level 75, but is that "min req" level or iLevel? TF is iLvl 80.

Comment by gorondor132

this item has really bad stats ''8 stamina'' (lol), so its not exactly suited for anyone in particular, ive seen this weapon a warlock...

Comment by ZanathKariashi

Yes actually. The uldaur enchants are min lvl 60, but require the character to be 75 for them to become active, so technically you could.

And they'd better not remove F*&king Rag, EVER. I'm just 4 ingots away from my hammer and need that eye, and I'm got my sights on Thunderfury as well......yeah...gonna duel them on my fury warrior....JUST YOU WAIT!

Comment by Ultragrisen

Ohh so much i long for Blizz to implement an item like this again! Super Powers, Super Random, Super Expensive and A bunch of skill.. and a alot of lore to get as reward. Think many feels the same as me. Dont care what kind of item it is.. just the event with the windreaver.. where is that now?

Finally obtained this item after round about 3 months farmin :D

Either way, it's always fun to read peoples reactions when they see i giant tornado on XT or somthing fun.

Comment by daryon

After 31 MC clears i am still not giving up , that garr binding will drop eventualy.
Now lets talk about that weapon , i got a question to those Dks that managed to make it , as the new dual frost spec is this good as an offhand , i mean is it good enough to have it on just for some fun 5 mans and pvp ?
Thanks for your answers .

Comment by Taiirepublic

So I got the Right half of the bindings last week and this week an Eye of Sulfuras. After farming for it since a week after I was 70 in BC looks like more mats farming in my future = / wish me luck next week for the other half of the bindings =)

Comment by germieb

I have finally obtained tf on my warrior after 3 years, I have been tanking heroics with it and I am able to pull a steady 5k tps still at level 80 and around 1800 dps in these 5 mans. I got it at around 4am and stayed up till like 8am fighting thunderan and stairing at the thing I waited so long to create.

Would I farm for it again? Prob not
Was it worth it? Yes
Have I found any uses for it at level 80? Yea it makes it easier to pickup the whelps on onyxia, it makes a lot of people break out in a jealous rage at you, and its fun to humilate people when you finish them off with it in arena

Comment by jacobdefore

VERY HARD TO GET it a PRE BC wepon very cool lokin

Comment by Blackriver

This weapon was originally intended to be the Ashbringer, and the weapon's model is called Ashbringer. This explains the bones and almost Scourge-esque appearance of the weapon. However, a different model was created for Ashbringer and Thunderfury instead became the first Legendary Weapon. This was most likely because the events and quests involving the Ashbringer hadn't been fully planned out at the time, but players were eager to see a legendary item in the game.

Comment by rahburt33

I'm a rogue in the process of getting this, would it be a good aggro getter (with tricks ofc)? I want it either way, wanted this sword ever since I laid eyes on it.

Comment by Oniguru

I really want them to do a remake of the weapon for the current WoW... Or at least in the new expansion (they seem to focus on the balance of nature)
It was every Sword Wielders Dream... It was awesome and It was the best looking thing in the world...

I just wish there was an updated version of it... Or better yet an Heirloom version of it =D

I do see people were quoting to an outdated version of the achievement.Unfortunately it does require 'Wielder of the Thunderfury - wielding does mean equipping

You Cant Get Feat.Of STR from it anymore if you cant wield poor thing just collected all mats and even made it up , hope i just could roll my time back and sell all mats to some who can use this..

why the downvote when i was just stating facts?

Comment by vexew

Sigh, coming back to WoW.

Watching you need archievement's for everything.

Im probably not the only old-wow-geezer who's been there and ran Molten Core for month's for this weapon.
Sweat and blood, in the end you recieved it and it was just as powerful as the myth's said, and you as me probably know how it was to first instantly kill your first Feral Druid who normally laughed at you with his 75% Physical Damage reduction or how everyone and everything wanted you in their raid's for the insane buff, actually it was mandatory to have a Thunderfury in most raid's.

Only to see it phase into nothingness, with it's fading i feel like i myself is fading away together with it, the next generation of WoW kid's is pushing all oldschool players away from what we once called our own game, now this game is alien to me, it's not WoW.

GIVE ME BACK MY "#¤%& THUNDERFURY, I WAS ONCE A GOD AND NOW IM NOTHING. Stupid kids.

Comment by Blackriver

This weapon was originally intended to be the Ashbringer, explaining its Scourge-like appearance, and its model name is called Ashbringer in the game files. However, because the players were eager to see a Legendary and the devs did not have the Ashbringer storyline finished at the time, they made Thunderfury instead for the first raid in the game.

Edit: Why am I being downrated?

Comment by Oirsgposurgt

Still badass weapon for PvP! I equip TF with my combat rogue in offhand, and i have to say that I am really satisfied with it. It is useful in battlegrounds and in instances, too. Nevertheless, the whispers I recieve still worth the price I paid for this awesome weapon!

I'm still lvl 70 cuz i don't have wotlk,and I must say that this weapon can replace a bt offhand on hemo or combat spec with ease .The 1.90 speed is acceptable and that 300 nature dmg chance on hit can crit ( usually for 450 or 560 ).Combined with it's insane proc ( for a held offhand it always procs atleast twice on a lvl 70 mob), instant poisons on both weps ,slice and dice,http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28830,http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33831 and http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29301 it sits very comfortable in rogue's hand dontcha' think?
Too bad i didn't have it in vanilla WoW.... After 3 and 1/2 years of slack-farming left binding finally dropped on 8th day of 2010.
Damn my game breaks....missed dark portal opening too .. /cry.

Comment by rospy

can i ask? if u are on quest line for thunderfury u have the same chance to drop one of the bindings? i mean if u have the rignt and u need the left one... so nothing chance right? i have every thing for tf 10 elementium bar the right binding and the fire lord and i miss the left one...

Comment by Pondus93

Can anyone confirm that the quest is still do-able? I havent seen one single wielder of this amazing weapon since the middle of TBC.

Comment by Strasaphere

Valid question,

After looking at the items Level and required level, it would look as if this could be enchanted with WOTLK enchants such as Bladeward of Blood draining. But has anyone actually tested this? I would like to know if it works.

Thank you.

P.S to answer the question above, as of Patch 3.3.2. I am currently doing the quest, so it is A-OK.

Can i got Feast of Strength for it if i am Druid?...(druids cant eqiup swords :P)

Comment by xmolder

I'm not going to waste the time farming the items I need for this on my druid (I'd much rather see it on my warlock or paladin) but I assume you wouldn't be able to. First, because the achievement says "wielder" which implies actually equipping it. Second, because you can't have a feast of strength.

Edit: Confirmed, only classes that can equip swords can get the achievement.

Got this confirmed from GM Today after waiting ticket for 4hours
I do see people were quoting to an outdated version of the achievement.Unfortunately it does require 'Wielder of the Thunderfury - wielding does mean equipping

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 Skornaq

And how many can boast that they are veterans of The Old Times? Even now, to see a paladin of old with Sulfuras on his back and a full set of Judgement stood outside the stormwind bank with the old school enchants, even I feel a sense of awe. Its not about losing your game, its about being able to say *Yeah, you got it easy, what i have here is proof that i was great once* "Holds up Thunderfury"

Agreed, Blizzard have reset the difficulty setting, however you belong to a dynasty long since gone, but well remembered and respected by many. To compare your Thunderfury to say...I dunno', Bonebreaker Scepeter from Marrowgar on ICC 10, its to compare an old Claymore of old to a Laser sighted gun that can shoot around corners of today. Sentimental Value, and memories are what matter really.

Comment by pizzakid2093

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 Blackriver

This weapon was originally intended to be the Ashbringer, explaining its Scourge-like appearance. In the game files, there are a few copies of the Thunderfury model (some finished, some unfinished) titled "Ashbringer". The Ashbringer story wasn't finished by the time Blackwing Lair was released (and they probably wanted to save Ashbringer for Naxxramas at this point) and players were eager for another Legendary, so they instead made Thunderfury using this model and used a new one for Ashbringer.

Stop downrating me; it's true.

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. This endeavor if someone still has one bracer is not far off for yourselves, there is still the rare (3%) chance you can get this item before Cat comes out so I must please tell you to try and try for the 20-30 minutes each week at this item. It IS WORTH IT. ~Paladin on Spirestone (Possibly going home to Eonar though now)

Comment by Jenkem

This item will probably become deprecated as an obtainable item but I hopefully say it will still exist. If we are lucky, Blizzard will morph this into an Heirloom.

Comment by Bababooeyhs

Okay. I created an account just to add my 2c.

After roughly 8-9 months of weekly farming I completed Thunderfury. I bought all the elementium ore off the AH for 300g 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.

I slapped mongoose on this bad boy and as an ICC geared prot paladin in heroics I can pull about 4-5k TPS on trash and 6-7k on bosses. TF procs CONSTANTLY. 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.. it did! I had to equip a new pair of pants irl.

Hang in there if you're farming this! It's worth it.

*Edit* Just wanted to add that I've tanked VoA 25 with it now. Didn't have any threat problems. I love this thing! Uploaded a picture on here also.

Edit again... still able to tank random cata heroics on my warrior and paladin with it without *much* threat issue. (though alot of people see it right away and start to whine, "seriously... thunderfury?")

Comment by DhailaSC

Aloha,

I've spent the last 3 years working on this quest. 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 20-30 minute MC run ever since.

Things are much easier now in regards to the other mats. 100 bars of Arcanite aren't nearly as expensive or hard to come by as they were 3 years ago before BC came out. 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."

That's probably good enough for everyone reading this.

Good luck!

Comment by ryguy

Here are some tips on the other materials:

Tips on Elementium Ore:

Blackwing Lair
This ore can only be found in Blackwing Lair. 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.

Be sure to pick up Goblin's Guide to Elementium which drops off of Master Elemental Shaper Krixix if you or anyone else in the raid is a Miner. 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... or none. It's random so keep the faith and grind away.

Comment by Zanien

You spend 3 years on this? Guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Me being a hunter I of course didn't get priority and there being a long line of Warriors and Rogues I knew I wouldn't be able to get one before BC. I went through BC with only going in there during those random PUGs set up in Trade every now and then hoping to atleast get one binding, even if it did drop I knew someone would try to ninja it. When Wotlk came out me and some friends would farm the bindings. My rogue friend get his 2 first within a month or so. I got mine in about 2 months and was able to farm BWL for the ore and get the other mats off the AH. I slapped a Mongoose on it since I think it's better looking then Bladeward or Blood Draining. I just wear it around with my T2.5 and the couple peices of T3 that I got during Vannila.

Comment by Deactivated1664

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 3.0% - 3.7% drop rate the only thing you can really do is hope for some luck. If you have the quest for the bindings (which you get in Silithius) the quest item of Rag has a 100% drop rate.

Once you get both bindings you will need to get the ten (10) Elementium Ore from BWL. 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 300K hp. He will drop the raw sword, you hand it in and get Thuderfury. Good luck!

Comment by Earthraven

If you are reading this you probably just get one half of the binding and trying to decide is it worth to farm other half or not. I would clearly say it's not. Those kind of items are in WoW are just made for you to put in a Skinner Box. I strongly advise you to read this article. It's yours to decide.

Comment by CapnS

If you ever want to let people on your server know that you are both cool and highly intelligent, just link this a few times in trade chat.

Comment by dk101

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 meskall

this would be awesome for a 60 twink

Comment by Shmash

Both binding dropped in my run today, I only needed the left one. Well I still didnt kill Rag. Maybe a 3/3 will happen!

PS : first time in over 5 years gameplay I see 2 bindings drop in the same run.

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. Took substantially less time than my Paladin Starcaller but dual-wielding it with Quel'serrar looks quite nice as seen here:

http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/wozarib/World_of_Warcraft/thunderfury.jpg

Good luck getting yours!

Comment by Wrok

hey, just wanted to make something clear.

got thunderfury the other day on my make and neigther the added nature damage to the sword, nor the proc, is increased by spellpower. its great for roaming around in dalaran however.

Comment by Chromell

I fail to see how this information about feats is not relevant and why it has been downrated since there are many people concerned about not receiving the feats upon completing either of the weapons.

Comment by jedimarcus22

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. (I am at 7.75%).

Overall, I am glad I got it. Cost alot in mats for the ores, but well worth it. I can finally say I now have a very small place in WOW history as I have a Death Knight with a Thunderfury.

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 CellsFTW

Just got this a week ago, Lovely weapon Indeed. =D

Comment by ad0bo

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 09).

I read a few forums and found this was easily soloable at 80. So I started to solo Garr each week on my pally, and both Garr and Baron on my main warrior. 7 or so weeks into it I got Garr's binding for my 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 315 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. but Still no Eye from Rag sadly :(

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. ;D

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.

This quote is from the small article at the top of this page explaining how to obtain Thunderfury. However, this information is outdated. It was changed so that any class can now complete this quest line and obtain Thunderfury, regardless of if they can use the weapon or not.

Though, you must be able to equip Thunderfury in order to obtain the achievement.

Comment by Aramaru

A very important note for anyone considering the questline for this weapon; the class restrictions were removed from Thunderfury's bindings recently, thus allowing anyone to start the quest! However, you only get the Feat of Strength when you actually EQUIP the sword! I point this out because the RNG hated me and decided to drop the set of Bindings I already had when I was working on this blade.. and they wound up going to a Druid, who WAS able to start the quest!

Does this mean that, say, a Mage, could collect a binding and then begin the questline, complete it, and equip Thunderfury? I don't know, but the above evidence I experienced firsthand would imply "yes".. but it also means merely possessing the weapon won't give you the Feat of Strength either; good luck if you decide to undertake the effort to craft this legendary!

Comment by bennymoo18

Finally just yesterday on June 15th, 2010. MY binding of Garr dropped and i screamed my wittle hunter head off! granted it only took me about 9 resets to get both pieces so i feel lucky compared to most people... I never take it off not even to raid or PVP i actually like to PvP with it cause of the +20% cast time on proc. i put my link to my youtube vid.

Finally equipped this weapon after years of farming. It was well worth the time.

Comment by PandaSausage

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 Grognok

I vote to start a move to allow shamans to use this weapon because of the fact that this weapon is carried by an elemental lord and that this weapon was basically made for shamans even the proc is a shaman power if i ever have a chance to get this i will use it even at 85 in cataclysm
(Thunderfury proc=Chain Lightning)

Comment by SilverHeimdall

They're definitely not going to remove the quest to obtain Thunderfury as it has been confirmed that the new Guild Achievement "We Are Legendary" - requires the guild to craft all 6 pre-cataclysm legendary AFTER release.

So all the Shadowmourne wielders - your axe will NOT count toward that achievement unless you create the weapon AFTER release of Cataclysm!

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.

Comment by Lainey

Has anyone ever previously seen both Garr and Geddon Bindings AND the Eye of Sulfuras drop in the one run? It happened to us last night, and we were in total shock! Working on getting weapons created as we speak :D

Comment by Rednoob

I got that on my Warr(60). Took me alot of work, around 250 days:/. They're both around 4%, Baron and Garr.
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.

Btw if you want to see my Warrior here: Mòóh(Al'akir)

Comment by Lothnaerril

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. lol.

Has the drop % been increased, or was this just a one-in-a-million run?

Comment by hazmatt

DID I HEAR !1/!1!

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.
Very exciting =)

Did a few runs with guildies & their alts into BWL to grab all the ores & i managed to get it rather quickly that way.

I still easily pull 7-8k TPS as a prot warr in heroics with mostly 264 gear. It's an absolute blast, it made tanking heroics a lot more enjoyable, i actually enjoy doing HoR now. :p
Still works fine for tanking LK10 as well honestly, but i'd rather not bother considering the dps is lower, not greatly lowered, but still lower.

I do about 10-11k Revenge crits with this thing, whereas with my Marrowgar mace i pull about 12-14k revenge crits.

Comment by DaGorthok

not sure about that, think they are having an achievement for getting all legendaries as a guild (note i believe they mean acquiring them even if you already have them. as in not being able to pick up some random dude w/ TF to get the achievement.)

Comment by Delaine1987

Comment by Hannes37

Guide to getting Thunderfury.

1. Aquire one Binding of the Windseeker (Right half and/or the left half) which drops from Garr and/or Baron Geddon respectively in the Molten Core raid. (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.
3. After you've done that he will give you another quest to go and fetch some materials, these are 10 Enchanted Elementium Bars, the other half of the bindings of the windseeker (right/left), and the Essence of the Firelord (which drops 100% from Ragnaros inside the Molten Core if you are on the quest.)
4. Return with all of the materials to Highlord Demitrian, in which turn he will summon Thundeeran on the plains behind you.
5. Kill Thundeeran, he will drop his sword as a quest item, which you then right-click on for a quest.
6. Turn this quest in to Highlord Demitrian to recieve Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker.

Edit 2014/03/08: Never realized I would get this many upvotes, corrected several spelling errors now that I've gotten better at english, my grammar is still not 100% though. Got my Thunderfury on 2013/07/10! :-)

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 Cronus577

After patch 4.0.1 was release, everyone with Thunderfury should be happy to know that the 20% reduced attack speed works on EVERYTHING in northrend now. I know the -25 nature resistance would proc on mobs but the 20% reduced attack speed wouldn't, I've notice that every time it procs, the -20% attack speed procs too, making this weapon even that much better even at 80.

Comment by Skaree

As of 4.0.1, the attack speed debuff from Thunderfury now stacks with Thunder Clap.

Comment by SouthernFront

I believe this item will be removed upon release of the Cataclysm expansion, as Molten Core will no longer exist in game.

Comment by Ringkeeper

Weapon was nerfed in Patch 4.0.1 .

The additional 16-30 Natur-Damage was removed and it was nerfed to 41.9 DPS (44-115Dmg, 1.9 Speed)

*edit*

MC wont be removed in Cata, it will be still theire.

Comment by Dcn78

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.(or both might be romoved) I am currently farming it every week and i fear i am running out of time. 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 Juxtaposed

It appears they have nerfed the damage on this.

It reads 44-115 at 1.9 which is 41.9dps, and the proc says that it deals 445, up from 300.

Comment by Nerevar87

i only need left bindings as this m8,have evrything else,and also i have sulfuras,hand of ragnaros.so can u get left binding without guild,or we need to be in guild to get it?

Comment by Quartolo

Slight Correction:
It's not that TF proc and ThunderClap stacks togheter for a +20*1,2 (or 20+20) attack speed effect.

It's still 20% only, just the tornado effect can't be cancelled so.. both stacks (but only +20% effective).

Comment by riemoondo

ive alway wanted that sword for my rogue i had dream gear nightslayer set the gressle dawn of ruins and thunderfury i got every thing else but the TF

Comment by LeminaAusa

I agree with Sathilan. Having raided pretty much all of vanilla content at 60, having thunderfury back in vanilla merely meant you were lucky with getting both bindings (there were people, who raided MC almost all the while up till BC was released, and NEVER got their bindings back then), and had your guild backing you up with the elementium (and probably the arcanites/cores/other stuff as well). Raiding now is better than it was before, and heroic LK25 is WAY ahead of anything in vanilla, complexity wise. Some of the "vanilla elitist folk" need to get their heads out of the clouds and move on.

Comment by Arakys

As of Patch 4.0.3a the model color seems to have changed slightly. The sword itself is now a noticeably darker tone.

Comment by Fumble

Just got the second binding and finished Thunderfury. Patch 4.0.3a (a.k.a. the shattering) was just released earlier this week and this may be one of the first Thunderfury's completed after the mainland world switched over to the cataclysm one. 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..

"The DPS on the weapon was decreased because the damage of the proc was increased. You should still experience close to previous performance with the blade as the proc is triggered quite often."

So I tested it on the lvl 80 dummy (I'm 80 ret pala) and from 200 melee swings, it proc'd 39 times. Not conclusive but I couldnt be bothered to sit there for 1000 swings.

Looks like TF has a 20% proc rate now.

The proc hit for 330-331 and crit for 496-7

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 13. 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 80. 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. he was really excited because i had been talking to him about it and he wanted to see those big bosses. We cleared some trash, killed a few bosses, and finally ended up pulling geddon. He died swiftly, but my friend died to living bomb. when the boss died he said ''dont loot rez me first i wanna loot for you''.

i went along with it, i rezzed him, as soon as he got up, he kneeled down to loot the boss.

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. i couldn't believe it.

My friend, completely unaware what that meant and how much luck was involved simply said "you see? i told you i'd get you your second binding for your birthday ."

I was speechless. he promptly passed on the binding, so i could loot it to complete thunderfury.

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. I do indeed; When this story happened, I was a paladin named Nessaja, on Proudmoore US. Ever since then I went by the names Snauzberries, and Rivendare, on Zul'Jin (horde). My characters are now Pineapples, Turbocat, and Healthbar (still on zul'jin). If you'd like to say hi, drop me a message! :)(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

Comment by zackrees

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 jone1606

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... but it's a great vanity item, and I'm on an RP server so... I love it. :)

Comment by fedas15

I wouldn't say it got nerfed... The DPS is not 41.9 anymore, it is 61.8 DPS now. So it can be the best level 60 weapon.

Comment by autocon

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 dangrim

I like TF for the classic classes but the only thing that irritates me off is a dk using this weapon, dk's dont belong in vanilla and tbc they belong in wotlk and cata and i dislike blizz keep trying to introduce dk's to vanilla and tbc

I don't know if they have changed the drop rate for these bindings of the windseeker or i am just extremely lucky... but i ended up getting both of the bindings within two mc runs which only took ONE WEEK. Yes you heard me right, thats all it took, i was so surprised. The first one i got was the left half from Barron Gedon and then a week later i got the right half from Garr. Very pleased that it didn't take Years/months to get this blade and now you will find me running around jubei'thos (US) server wearing it with pride and glory! ;)

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 -.-

Get some pretty funny looks in LFD as a healer in the group using it, though acouple groups have told me to keep it on. Quite humorous x3.

Comment by ThunderfuryBoy

down rate my comment rofl.. just cuz u fail newbs cant get a good drop rate for the bindings..

Comment by Lmory

Last tuesday I went into MC as usual, running through the bosses as usual... 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. Then... 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.

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/haomarush/a%C3%AD/simple - click on recent activity and you'll see I got both legendarys withing the time of a few hours. (sadly it wont say when I looted the binding and the eye)

Conclusion, if you're after the Guild Achievement, ANYONE in the guild can get it, if you're after the Feat of Strength, only those who CAN EQUIP the item can get it.

Is this weapon able to be dual wielded anymore. I though there used to be screenshots with people dual wielding this weapon before?

any Qs leave a comment on the vid I am more likely to get back to you that way.
good luck anyone who is still farming Bindings :)

Comment by Marzabul

Warrior tank, full heroics/reputation geared. Using this bad baby in populated pulls succesfully. And in boses/monotarget pulls, I can agro fairly well against raid geared people (not GREAT and of course you are losing some stats, but didn't really sweat working agro).

If you have one in your bank, take it and use it a little, is fun as allways.

Comment by DrCheis

Did somebody say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?

Comment by ADShafer

anyone have a preferred off hand weapon for this for role playing purposes? i can think of anything off the top of my head the matches the style/theme of it

Comment by Hoffster

I either enjoy Maladath, Runed Blade of the Black Flight or Death's Sting simply for the coolness of the first one and the actual BiS of the 2nd one. :)

Comment by Baneleaf

The binding from Baron finally dropped today. Although my 8 month or so farm of this is not as long as some of those that have/are been after this for 4-5 years, it was a painfull grind. Every Tuesday after maintenance MC was my first stop. Today, my buddy at work that had helped with some of the previous runs saw me fighting Geddon. I asked "so what do you think about this week?" as the boss was at about 20%, to which he replied "you are totally going to get it this week". Seconds later I opend the loot window and began cussing at him for not saying that months ago. I immediately used the engineer portal to Gadget and he logged on to see the prince fight. I finally have my legendary.

This item would be so much moar L33T if it could be duel wielded. Screenshots of duel wielding are indeed from Private Servers. Blizz should start making swords as epic as this in Cata. I feel like the designs of the swords just arn't as cool anymore.

Dropped by spiders in TF?

Comment by GoodSirReaper

My adventure with Thunderfury. Oh how dangerously annoying it was. It started off as a joke, when Death Knights first came out. "Hey, I'm going to twink out my Death Knight. Hah. 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. 1 year later, my friend quits, and takes his Elementium with him. 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. 5000 gold and one situation when I was hacked later, I had me all of my elementium. 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 Twix1997

Can you get Two of these like for say a lvl 64 fury warrior?

Comment by ShadeolTheFox

Although it's been answered many times before, I'll answer this one.

The answer's a flat out no.

It would be possible considering it's just a 1-hander, but there are two things that conflict with that. One being that it is Unique. That means that you can only hold one of these on your person at any one time. Secondly, the weapon itself is a reward from a quest that cannot be repeated (similar to Onyxia's Head; you can't turn in her head multiple times for the rewards).

Comment by reaperstone

So on Sunday a druid friend of mine and I were running Kara. He asked me if I wanted to run MC. I told him hell yeah I wanted to. He asked, tell me now do you want the ingot or the bindings if it drops. I told him I wanted the bindings if they dropped. He said ok and we proceeded to Molten Core. I've never been to Molten Core on this character. I got my achievement for Molten Core that same day. We killed some fire guy named Baron something, the left binding dropped. We finished MC then I went to Silithus and got the quest. Tuesday the 8th on the reset, I went in started to farm fiery cores so I could get the 10 elementium bars made. I solo'd the big stone dude and the right binding dropped. I began buying bars but had to wait until Wednesday. My friend and I went back and killed ragnaros again for my essence, and then went back to finish buying the bars. I spent maybe 4 hours to buy the bars. I went back to Sil and killed the big wind guy and it gave me thunderfury. All in all it took me like 8-10 hours. Anybody else have results like this? They are fairly common right?

Comment by reaperstone

Hey guys, a friend told me to post this. I didn't really want to and I know it's stupid but they were really persistent. I do a lot of reading on wowhead elitist and mmo. Everyone has been giving me !@#$ the past few days and I am just tired of it. My borther and mom play wow as well and even they are giving me !@#$ about this.This is what happened so if you don't believe me that's fine and I don't care anymore what people say since people are being so hateful about this. I don't control how Blizzard does their drops. I am not trying to be offensive to anyone and I'm sorry that it worked out this way.

A friend of mine and I were running Karazhan trying to get the mount. After we finished he asked me if I wanted to run Molten Core. It was really early in the morning and I didn't have anything else to do so I said sure. He asked me if I wanted the ingot or the binding. I had no idea what either were so I said the binding.

Anyway, I had never really been there before I just followed him around killing things. We got to the boss that drops the left binding and it dropped. He said a deal is a deal and to take it.

So, we finished the rest of the raid and I had got this legendary item. I didn't really know a lot about it just that it was for thunderfury. I looked it up cause its legendary so I wanted to know what to do.

I went to Silithus and got the quest for it. I linked it to my guild and they didn't really know what it was either. So I explained it to them. I had low expectations because of reading the wowhead posts and still decided to go back with my friend next week.

As I said I looked it up, and found out what I needed for the bars. I went and started soloing MC cause I am 85 and needed the fiery cores. I had done a little looking on wowhead decided to solo Garr and what do you know the right binding dropped as well.

My brother was sitting in the room and saw it drop. He looked me in the eyes and said "No #$%^ing way! You lucky #$%^ing *!@#$%bag. I #$%^ing hate you I can't believe that you already got both of them!"

I can't solo a couple of the bosses in MC as a tank, plus I don't really know what's going on so I left to go to trade to try and buy more bars until my friend logged back on so that I could get my essence of the fire lord.

I bought 2 of the bars that were already made on the AH, and I found out the mats and got 5 ingots crafted by a friend into 5 more bars. The elementium bars were 300g the ingots were 200g and came to a total of about 2600g by the end of the whole experience.

My friend logged on again that day and I caught him and we went back to MC. We finished it so I could get my essence. Not too long after that he had to log out.

I ended up not being able to get the bars that day so had to wait till Wednesday which really sucked. It was kind of upsetting cause I was really eager to get it finished. I FINALLY got my last bar after a few hours of spamming and I was so excited. I flew as fast as I can to get back to Silithus. I flew over to the quest giver and turned it in. Thunderaan had spawned and I decided to solo him too.

He ended up dropping another legendary item that started a quest. The quest sent me back to the other guy and after just 3-4 days depending on how you count what time I started on Sunday, he gave me my thunderfury

I just got my Baron's binding after 6 months of farming. Mongoose simply rocks for this baby =)

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 Jacobblaylock

After much math i have found out exactly what BASE materials are required to get your thunderfury. (This instructable assumes you are a miner of at least skill lvl 300

1. you will need to by 30 elemental flux's from vendors
2. you will need 10 fiery cores from various mobs in MC
3. you will need to get the pattern from the boss by the technicians in BWL so u can smelt the elementium ( technicians will be mentioned later on)

Now for the more time consuming parts.

1. you must kill Garr in molten core approximately 25 times. this will get you one of the bindings of the windseeker to start the whole chain.
2. you must kill Baron Geddon approximately 33 times. this will get u the other bindings of the windseeker
3. You will need to mine just about 1000 thorium veins (big or small, ooze covered or not) to get 100 arcane crystals and enough ores for 100 thorium bars.

Back to quicker steps, but these ones !MUST BE DONE LAST!

1. Smelt all of your thorium ore into 100 thorium bars. easy peasy.
2. Xmute all of your thorium bars and arcane crystals into arcanite bars (you will probably need more than one person to do this Xmute, I'm not sure if there's still a cooldown on this Xmute).
3. use the pattern u got from the boss by the technicians (told u he'd be mentioned again) to smelt ALL of your Arcanite bars with the cores, ingots, and flux's you bought/got previously into 10 enchanted elementium bars.
4. Finally, you must kill Ragnaros in the molten core to receive the FINAL piece to your quest.
5. Go turn in your quest and have the guy summon thunderaan, he should be soloable at 85. once u kill him, pick up the blade, and Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker will he in your hands, enjoy it.

If this tutorial has any mistakes please mention it so that the WoW community may still use it to their advantage. Otherwise, enjoy your Thunderfury :) Also, like it if it helped you, i spent alot of time on it.

Annoyingly and amazingly, Geddon's binding has dropped for me twice in the past 5 runs.... nothing on Garr. Made me weep the 2nd time Geddon's binding drop.

Comment by Stjimmy

4 Baron bindings, 0 Garr bindings between 15-20 runs. Gg.

Comment by Thoughtleech

I want it.

Comment by pipboy650

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.

A legendary weapon,

INFERIOR.

Comment by CharliiTheTurtle

When i started farming for thunderfury i did randomly go in to molten core for some level 60 RP gear. When i killed baron geddon BAM the binding dropped. It was my 3th run in MC and i was aiming for full giantstalkers set. So i started farming for it.Well i was saved to it since i had done it that week so i started farming for the enchanted elementium bars.When my friend heard that i got the binding he started helping me for it :D We simply soloed blackwings lair and i got around 2-4 elementium ingots every week.The fiery cores wasnt a problem just kill trash in MC and the arcanite bars costed me 14g each on AH.The actual hard part was to get the second binding.After 2 months of farming i finally got it ! Me and my friend soloed thunderaan easily and i got my thunderfury:)

Comment by Marcopilon

As a solo mage since Cataclysm, getting Thunderfury is not that difficult, if you've got time, patience and golds.

I often try to go pickup Argaloth in 10/25, and every time, someone disconnects directly at the end of the raid.
Then => go MC ! You're sure to be the last in raid, with a disconnected raid member :D

In Frost spec @ lvl 85, every boss is soloable (Garr, Geddon, Majordomo, Ragnagna).

Main problem is for BWL : in solo, Razorgore is too low HP and i can't find a decent rotation for not killing him too soon and get doomed by Blizzard.
In duo (feral/mage) i can't correctly handle adds and pass some of them to the other player.
So, as a cloth, my personnal conclusion is : BWL is at least 3 players for Razorgore.

For elementium ingots, if you're not on PVP server, try to find friends in the other faction and make inter-faction deals.
It helped me get my very last ingot.

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.

Comment by Marzabul

Has someone thought about what actual Cataclysm enchants should be used in TF? 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 Shada

It's a fact that Thunderfury became obsolete the moment you looted Sun Eater or King's Defender in BC; any tank lost a lot more than they gained by holding onto Thunderfury after gaining either of the entry level BC tanking swords. There were tanks that claimed otherwise, and used it into SSC, but that's because they were unwilling or unable to accept that their outrageously cool looking weapon with the orange text was no longer "the sh1t" (no, not even on Tidewalker's adds was Thunderfury worth it anymore)

This kind of denial could be seen extending into Wrath of the Lich King, where tanks would often justify using it on things like Freya hardmode because of the proc. Their arguments, often supported by spurious and inaccurate theorycraft, usually (and conveniently) overlooked that the potency of the proc had been ruthlessly nerfed over time, to the point where it had become merely cosmetic.

"It looks AWESOME and it's LEGENDARY": this, essentially, is what any tank still using TF after level 70 really thinks, despite the pseudo theorycrafted nonsense some of them try to sell.

As for me, I will occasionally use Thunderfury in today's heroics, just to see the reaction. Because I'm fine with admitting that awesome and legendary are the only justifications this weapon ever needed.

"Lol Thunderfury? WTF dude"

"Shush you, I am The Windseeker"

Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker is the legendary sword once wielded by Thunderaan, Prince of Air.

For a mili sec I thought it said Prince of Bel'Air.

Its a bit off topic but lol'd once I realized how slacky that was. Didn't even react at first.

(Was reading this to a friend who was curious where you got it and lore around it)

Comment by sp3cialfx

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.

I also plan on DPSing with it in my offhand, yeah screw it, I don't care what anyone thinks, I play this game for my enjoyment, and I'm only talking 5 mans/Heroics here, unless I come across bad threat issues. 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 85

Got thunderfury today on my main character, took me 3-4 months but hell it was worth it, got ashes of al'ar + thunderfury, Want light of dawn and warglavie, would be so awesome Gl to everyone farming the bindings (Don't give up)!

Comment by SauROnmikE

Found the 3% drop rate binding in 5MC runs (1month) Dont give up farming the bindings it's just a matter of time till they drop ;)

Comment by Durruti

Thankful to have finished this up and got my second binding today. Bought up all of the arcane crystals on the AH and was still short by 21. If you need arcane crystals to finish your TF, hit up Silithus. Fly along the mountains on the edge of the map. For the entire duration I farmed NONSTOP. Don't waste time going in any hives to mine, there was literally an active node within 50 yards of the last and by the time you get to the end of the route, the nodes have respawned. If you have 310% mount speed and guild perk speed buff...you can probably mine all 100 within a day.

Comment by zachdog11

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.

I am also on my way for this sword on my warlock, and i feel i should start to use the "Patient" title aswell.
So far i have done only 53-57 clears of Garr and Geddon, but i have done some full runs aswell, so i am exalted with the Hydraxian.
So yeah, Geddon finally dropped his binding a week ago. I was happy, because that more than a year of farming was finally worthed it. I hope that the next one is at hand, and finally this cursed sword will be mine :)

I dont know if drop rate was change in any way, but today Both bindings dropped in the very same run after around a year farming MC.
Was I extremly lucky or something changed?

Comment by mjvogan

This is not a hunter weapon it is a melee class weapon. The stats seem best for a rogue 300 nature damage on the sword is in melee so a hunter would only use it say for raptor strike.

Comment by niahmas

Just got a binding on my druid after his second run. I was farming Ingots for my warrior after he got an Eye of Sulfuras his 5th run (first in many months). Something must have changed or I got extremely lucky twice.

Comment by Gadoink4

If you're a class that cannot equip Thunderfury, do you think a GM would give you the FoS if you had the sword in your inventory?

Comment by Varllok

Just picked up Garr's binding on my 60 warlock twink, hopefully I get lucky and manage to get the other binding.

Comment by Delaine1987

Obviously Fiery Weapon.... DUH?

Comment by Delaine1987

Can you equip 1H-Swords?

Comment by Delaine1987

You won't... Trust me.

Comment by Zandros1989

Recently came back to cata, one thing I had to do was my attempts at this bad boy.

First week: no binding garr, but binding off of baron

Second week: No bindings at all

Third week: no binding garr, but a second binding off baron

Fourth week: Binding off garr, No binding Baron.

So in one month, I have to say I am laughing so hard as I completed mine today, took cleaning both horde and alliance AH out of crystals and ingots, but now as I stand here in orgrimmar wearing it I am happy. Only thing missing is t2 set and I will be prepared.

To any out there farming it, or have been farming it, keep to it. Also one might note that I picked up Very Unlucky Rock at the end of the second week, I am not sure if the rock has a reversed effect, but it gave me the garr binding.

Comment by bl00mie

Yes. You can get the bindings, finish all quests, and ultimately get the legendary sword in your inventory... but since you cannot *weild* it, you will not get the Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker achievement.

And since you can't equip it, the only way to show off how awesome you are would be to randomly open trade with someone and stick TF in the window. My druid has it in the bank.. really it's just a waste of gold and a coveted bank slot, but I got the bindings while waiting for the Eye of Sulfuras to drop so I figured what the hell.

Comment by Raxiel

Thanks to the transmogriphier it will now be possible to equip this fantastic looking weapon without having to compromise stats, but we'll loose out on the visual effects of the proc.

Obviously we can't get it with a new weapon, but any suggestions for 'new' weapons (or enchants) to convert that will maintain some of the cool?

Edit: Apparently there is some question as to whether you can 'mog legendaries. Fingers crossed you can copy them, just not change them.

Comment by Misakopilee

Who play Tbc? On acolytes online.com

Comment by cmdrfunk

I just ran this for the first time and got both bindings in 1 run. Is there a increase to the drop chance or am I seriously lucky? Probably would have been cooler on my paladin, instead of my preist tho =X

Comment by Burpy13

is this sword good for paladins too?

Comment by Slylady

None. Thal Shalt not Taint Thunderfury with Blessings that are not worthy.

Comment by Tzurikat

I got one binding for this but cant get the other binding...
I wont drop for me ;(
Hope someoen else is luckier ten me =)
GL getting it.

<Chill out dude, it's just a game>

Comment by cyraxx

finally got thunderfury after seeing 2 left bindings and 40 garr kills on one of my chars alone (countless others on my old main). only other garr binding i saw was in vanilla wow -__-''. was so happy when i saw orange text :)

Comment by mercurial256

Thought id solo mc for some gold for the first time, since i just got my warrior to 85 and geared. I didnt pay attention to how rare these drops were so i didnt really care.

When i went through mc for my first time, BOTH bindings dropped. I didn't realize how lucky i was since i didnt come here to figure out the drop %.

Just getting me bars now since i have all the ignots and flux's. Guess rng gods were good 2 me on that day.

Bottom line: Thunderfury is mine in under 7 days.

RNG...ty.

Comment by Ackeburning

Just to mention it
If you want your achievement, you have to be able to equip it as well

Comment by ciym

Been farming for years with my warrior after I got Garr to drop a binding for me at 70. Started farming MC for bloods and gold with my warlock and of course both bindings dropped tonight. RNG sucks!

Comment by Williamgood

Some reason I find the orc with cloth on and TF funny.. I just dont know why...

Comment by Gulanga

Farming for the Bindings of the Windseeker is very easy for most classes and takes literally about 5 mins to do.

Here is a vid of a 4min 30sec run just to demonstrate.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cY2qVDTRAc

Now to beat that damn rng...

*Edit: Was my info in any way incorrect? Why the down votes?

Comment by gni3w

I have everything except LEFT seeker. Lets hope it drops after reset(tue)

Comment by gni3w

oh man that sucks

Comment by Frassysass

As of the Firelands patch, a rogue wielding Thunderfury in the off hand only experiences a 7% - 9% DPS loss.

Worth it, imo, to wield it if you got it!

Comment by Majjick

I think it was supposed to say Baconfury, Fried Blade of the Hamseeker... but hey, who knows?

Comment by ninkosen

You only got it because some of us are farming the runs for you. The way I see it for somebody to own legitly Thunderfury, you need to have made at least 30 runs. If you only make 1 and get it, that mean somebody outthere is doing his own 30 runs + your 29 runs you didn't do, so that he gets his thunderfury. That is the way it works. So no need to brag, people will only hate you for it. I always do runs for others... never get anything, and if people outthere get things, it's because of guys like me and others that don't get anything. That's the way things are balanced, and make this game really bad. I can't even believe the pain or people running MC for 3 years and still not done. They might quit doing it... But there got to be someone out there who would run MC for one century and will never get it, that's the only way somebody got all 3 in one run, balance, super good luck and super bad luck.

Comment by Skizzer

Best looking Weapon in WoW.

Comment by Evangelism

I'm suprised no one has said this but... DID SOMEONE SAY THUNDERFURY, BLESSED BLADE OF THE WINDSEEKER?

Comment by Terrassen

Got the legendary after only two weeks of consecutive "farming".

Comment by rowanr

After 8 months of weekly Baron Geddon kills I finally got my other binding. So excited to finally get such an awesome weapon. I tried it out tanking with it on my pally, and due to the new threat mechanics it seems to work fine. Good luck everyone, and don't give up!

Comment by Shathus

Did someone say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?

Ugh, I want to downrank myself for that....

Comment by wormling

I can't find the quest start.....?

Comment by yom125

im so happy i finally got mine keep trying everyone you will eventually get yours! :)

also try and have fun, i originally started farming molten core for the rep, the extra gold , and the hope of someday having a legendary or two.

also love how i freaked out the friends i brought with me for the fight so they could see the guy, they knew nothing and it was priceless! :D

Comment by Jontie

They did, but it was downrated just like you : /

Comment by Evangelism

Awww. Sadness. :(

At anyrate, got the binding through my first run through it on the 4.3 ptr o.o and the eye of sulfron... I think my luck exceeded the moon.

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.

This reply makes no sense, as even when it was done in 2.4 warriors already were no longer the only tanking choice and other classes could be seen around, matter of fact in my guild we were 2 tankadins running the show and, as you might be aware, paladins don't have thunder clap to begin with.

EDIT: downvote this comment as much as you like, doesn't change the fact that not everyone was running with Warrior tanks in TBC.

Comment by Hipster

/2 DID SOMEONE SAY Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?

Comment by Lopaz

You dont need to downrate yourself.

EDIT: It was a reply to a guy that removed his comment.

:D

Comment by Youcantbeserious

Just received the Right Bindings after Garr, Handed in the quest and received Thunderfury. It's well worth it, dont give up on running molten core.

Comment by Dcn78

Ok so this is the second time I got Thunderfury... first i got him on my level 85 hunter but felt like crap because it would just rot in the bank or sit on my back, so i decided to make a character for the sole purpose of getting Thunderfury, He would be capped at 60 and a tank.

After i gotten this warrior to 60 i ran Molten Core Immediately, After 4 weeks i got the Right Binding off of Garr. I was hysterical. I then proceded to level my Mining to 300, get the recipe for the Enchanted Elementium, Do Blackwing lair like 4 weeks to get the Ingots and made my Bars.

After that came the dreaded farming of Baron Geddon I did once before.... Week after week after week of "CMON! JUST FREAKING DROP THIS TIME!" I was VERY lucky and actually beat my record of farming for 3 months and got my left binding off geddon just 7 weeks later.

Durring the Course of my farming i switch servers to join a level 60 twink guild. After I had gotten my binding they agreed to help me kill thunderaan. Nobody was one so we ended up kill him with 4 people, A worrier tank (Me), a hunter, and 2 druid one of whom was dps. I am very happy that i am now tanking raids with my new Thunderfury!

It is worth the time, I am a gnome and the sword is taller then i am! Best of luck everyone

Comment by Alteir

If you're currently farming this weapon as a hunter and intend to use/show off/not-just-keep-it-in-the-bank - don't bother.

Hunters will no longer be able to use melee weapons in the Mists of Pandaria expansion revealed at BlizzCon, which means getting this weapon is pointless aside for the FoS (which you won't be able to get either after Mists of Pandaria is released). If you're just out for the FoS, hurry up and get it because once the new expansion comes, it becomes unequippable by the class.

Such a goddamn bummer since I got mine just two days ago... at least I'll still have the FoS, but really, I got my thunderfury because I wanted to use it.

Comment by Lenape

For those trying for this weapon I have several tips composed of my tries going for this weapon
Most trash can be skipped.
Worth your while to kill all bosses for either a transmorg gear purpose or to get 40 plus gold off of.
You are able to kill bosses in any order so if you have time constrates you can just kill Garr/Barron Geddon.
Bring a friend if you have trouble killing bosses bearly a need to tip for the gold cut is decent.
The corehounds before the big boss one are skippable if your high enough.

hope this helped and good luck.

Comment by kounman

This was quite interesting i stoped farming molten core for 2 months then when i start again both pieces drop in one go ^^

Comment by blazingphoenix

Same thing happened with me! Got my guild a guild achievement too! :)
Then the eye dropped from Rag next run. lol
Although it sure was a pain getting the arcane crystals for thunderfury...

Comment by westonjust

did someone say THUNDERFURY BLESSED BLADE OF THE WINDSEEKER!

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 Nerkiax

Oh god i hear the trolls...They are in my head... /2 ok the voices are gone.

Comment by AtomicKitty

I like to just look at this model and sigh sometimes.

Comment by Thepallinator

Can you get this in Cataclysm and can you also get the arm of Ragnaros weapon also?

Comment by scuac

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.

What Blizzard said is that legendaries (and other items) are not going to be able to be used for transmog for now. They said that they wanted to initially have transmog on a reduced set of items, and then later they will see if to open it up to more items. So keep on farming!

Comment by Lurtzello

Yes ;)

Comment by Ywalsh

Do you know what this weapon is? Well, quit looking at my comment and CHECK /2!

Comment by redhothottie

This weapon isnt deleted after cataclysm, Firelands and Molten core, dont you see difference?
And stop with that childish /2 spam.

Comment by monatu

as of 4.2.2 the 20% speed reduction from the proc , STACKS with Thunderclap.. !
meaning 40% reduced attack speed
now THAT makes this sword Legendary STILL after 5 - years

Comment by Jenkem

I've farmed this sword twice now, Jønes of Dunemaul and Moldevort of Moon Guard. It is very possible to get this for those of you still trying; don't give up!

Comment by hoboshotgun

Got it after only 3 weeks of farming, feeling extremely lucky :P
And its soon christmas so i guess this is my preset from blizzard :D

Hopefully easier to get in Diablo

Comment by Vinnicombe

Ah, Thunderfury....

Just got the left binding last week and now I'm just gonna farm like hell for the right binding!
I simply can't wait to get it!

Comment by Wingartz

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.

Can it be started by a dk nowdays? or im stuck with no other than Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros

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 Exsoldiercl

Finally got my Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker today, after 8 months of farming, Super excited haha :)

Comment by aeminence

Got my first binding today along with Eye of Sulfuras, now to farm for the other binding.

Damnit.

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 Liltigerz

DID SOMEONE JUST SAY THUNDERFURY?

Comment by Ochropyra

I got one Binding back before BWL was released.
I got the second binding two weeks ago.

I killed Garr when ever I was able to...
I kept buying Arcanite bars when I was optimistic.
I Kept selling Arcanite Bars when i was pessimistic.
Over the years i easily had 1500 Arcanite bars pass trough me.

And now that I got both bindings, there is no arcanite bars to be had. (Sadly im not a miner anymore)

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. Yesterday I got Garr's part. So, it took 7 months of farming (30+ runs). I consider myself quite lucky.

I would like ask a question. I’m a hunter and as far as I know, Blizz will remove slot for melee weapon in MoP. Does that mean that hunter could not equip this weapon? ‘Cos I heard, that hunters will be able to put melee weapon to slot for range weapon. Is it true or we will be able to carry this weapon only till MoP release?

Comment by Liltigerz

Biggest one handed weapon in existance. Also one of the difficult legendaries to get simply because you need two halves of it which takes several runs week by week to get. Good luck, Im still grinding mine, and I have one half :)

Comment by jchamp87

Garr makes me want to cry. I've been farming for Thunderfury for over a year now. I have the other binding and all the bars and the essence. I have never seen the binding off of Garr drop even once on any of my toons on my many runs of MC. *sigh* BTW, does anyone find Blizzards insistence on making Legendarys non-transmutable a little disturbing? If I put the time in to make it I want to at least see the damn thing...

Comment by Elnaris

So, Can someone explain why, when ever this sword is mentioned in trade, chat fills up with comments like:
"Did someone say, Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?"
"No, I said, Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker!"
"Oh, I thought you said, Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker."
"No, I said Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. Not Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker."

...I started playing right around patch 3.2 so I don't understand alot of the Vanilla memes.

Comment by Demonicchoas

I got a quick question of whether warlocks can get it. Please leave an answer.

Comment by mummer

Can anyone tell me if mongoose displays on it?
Cause i want to put lightning on my lightning sword.

Comment by tobn

Got this and Sulfuras in 12 runs :)

Comment by Zephaneah

very cool looking :)

Comment by paulodemoc

Too many comments here. Just wanted to let you guys know that the entry need to be updated. I am a warlock and I was able to loot, start the quests, finish and wield the Thunderfury :)

Comment by mummer

Got my second binding today. And made the sword, to score the guild achievement.
Good times were had by all.

Comment by Cyclops727

They are making a purple version of the sword in MoP that you can transmogrify.

Comment by Lighthorn

If you turn all the items in, and then wipe on Thunderaan, do you have to farm the items again to get another shot?

Just let that name roll off the tongue: Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. It even sounds legendary.

Comment by Mhoo

Got both parts on my first MC run in over 5 years!:D

Comment by Salvogpwns24

What the hell? No one mentioned it sheaths on your back! That's probably the best part!

Comment by Crazydam

My right part dropped on 2nd run and left part on 4th run :)

Comment by ChosenIsOnline

What i really hate about people is that they ''HAVE'' to enchant their legendary, NO! bad person, you never enchant a legendary, they are ment to stay like that, did Thunderaan have the sword enchanted? no he didnt, so why should you get it enchanted? rawraarwargrrgr

Comment by hjp426

Questline can also be started by Mages.

Comment by Ironplague

For the quest you require both of the bindings which have a very low drop rate, around 4%.
The 10 Enchanted Elementium Bar are made by any miner with Goblin's Guide to Elementium from Blackwing Lair.
Per bar you need 1 Elementium Ingot, 10 Arcanite Bar, 1 Fiery Core and 3 Elemental Flux.
Each Arcanite Bar requires 1 Thorium Bar and 1 Arcane Crystal.
In total, for the quest you need:
- 10 Elementium Ingots - Blackwing Lair
- 100 Thorium Bars - The ore is farmed faster in ~~Silithus~~ Winterspring.
- 100 Arcane Crystals - Thorium Veins (cannot be prospected from thorium ore)
- 10 Fiery Cores - Molten Core
- 30 Elemental Flux - Vendor

Comment by Lighthorn

Just got this Tuesday. Was farming mats for Sulfuras when Garr dropped Right Binding. Spent months soloing Baron Geddon (getting Sulfuras in the meantime), when, 2 days ago, Left Binding dropped. I went totally calm, looting all the vendor trash. Clicked on Left Binding. Freaked out, yelling at Guild "GUYS! GUYS! DID YOU HEAR! CHECK THIS OUT! <LINK>!" Spammed friends with it, then ported to Org. I yelled at trade to be at the quest giver to see me get Thunderfury. 2 people actually showed up. I looted the Wind Kissed Blade then took a screenshot of my holding Sulfuras with the giant Thunderfury (Thunderaan's corpse) behind me. Might post that later.

It was the best thing ever!

Comment by vuktadic

After 11 weeks of farming i got my right binding from Garr.
After 16 weeks of farming i got my left binding from Baron Geddon.

Comment by Dinias

Nothing new to say about it just am excited about it, I have been through MC 3 times and first time got nothing 2nd got the right half and 3rd got the left :D I was soo happy not even my bad day at work could bring me down :DD

Comment by onad

Finally got mine after a long wait! Ran MC for months on my orc DK, never saw either of the bindings, but did see two eyes drop off rag and made a Sulfuras. Then I switched servers for a while and ran MC on my Draenei DK, this time seeing no legendary items of any kind drop. Then returned to my orc DK and ran MC for a few more months with nothing. Finally, this past Sunday, the wow gods smiled upon me and both bindings dropped in the same run! Promptly made my sword four days later, and took my honored place in trade chat! Hooray!

Persistence pays off with this one. Also with BWL being run all the time now for transmog, all the other items save the bindings are now MUCH easier to get than they were prior to patch 4.3! Bought four ingots off the AH for under 50G each.

Comment by Aharding25

I got both halves to drop in one MC run by dumb luck

Comment by odbastard

Some numbers:

As a level 60 prot paladin using this to solo Strath (damn baron...), TF proc'd 495 times over 3944 seconds of combat, an average of 7.53 procs per minute.

Its total damage came out to 160833, which over the same 3944 seconds of combat added an average of 40.77 dps.

Typically what you can see from this weapon proc is that it will double the weapon dps, effectively making it over 80 dps. However, you will often experience many procs within a single pull, e.g. i've seen 10 procs in a 19 second pull, so the weapon proc alone was effectively worth 157.9 dps. Obviously this is only one instance of the weapon's use, so it may be better or worse for X class.

Comment by Wolfgenerator

Did SOMEBODY say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?

Comment by Dehik

I can't tell if the RNG god hates or loves me. After countless farming started in vanilla, I was never able to get either of the bindings to my rogue or warrior. And then, I decided to get felheart for my warlock just for transmogrify purposes, and they both... drop...

...Hell.

Comment by tramponion

I heard MC had a lot of gold on bosses 30-60 per boss and last 100g... So I decided to solo it... 2 bindings at the same run! My friend has 1 binding 2 years and farmed but nothing.

EDIT: It looks so small on gnomes BTW. especially gnome rogue!:P

Comment by basementcat

over the last few years those bindings dropped a few times each on my ele shaman, 0 times on my deathknight. Damn you"chance"!

Comment by imthewalrus37

Wait a second...I wouldn't believe it if I didn't hear it but...Did somebody say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?

Comment by Axar

I've been trying to get Tier 1 legs on my paladin for about a year and a half now. In the process of doing so, I looted both bindings about 4-5 months apart. I'm still trying for those legs..

Lawbringer Legplates > Thunderfury...

Actually, theres a story to the first binding I got. A mage passed on the second binding.

I was being run through Molten Core by a druid and a warrior, they were guildmates. We had cleared up to Garr (no legs from Magmadar..). After about 20 seconds of Thunderclaps, Hurricanes, and Consecration, the warrior looted him. The binding was up on my screen and I couldn't believe it. I had never actually seen one drop.

The warrior immediately passed on it, which I thought was amazing. I must be the luckiest frickin' paladin alive right now! It's all mine! ... So I thought...

Yes. The druid needed on the binding and won it. As soon as I saw it looted out to him I messaged him, offering to pay him some gold for it. No argument; he said that was fine. I put up 1500g in the trade window, hoping to get it for a steal. He put the binding up and I clicked accept.

My offer stood there for what felt like 10 minutes. He didn't say anything.
Then he whispered me saying his guildmate said not to sell it, then proceeded to run over to his warrior friend and traded him the binding.

I figured, "thats it. it's gone. I'll never see it again." I figured I'd try one more time. Nothing to lose right? So I asked the warrior if I could pay him for it. He immediately told me 10k gold. 10,000 gold. I wanted to cry.

But instead I logged off my paladin and went through all my characters and sent their gold to her. Altogether I had 9,968. (My hunter with triple that amount was faction transferred 2 weeks earlier...)

I logged back onto my paladin, ran to my bank, pulled out a ton of herbs and other random junk and vendored it all. I had a few gold over 10k. Finally. I whispered the warrior telling him I had the gold ready. I really don't think he expected me to ACTUALLY pay him. We traded and he gave it to me. I didn't even care about being broke on all of my characters, I was just so happy to have one binding. I now had a chance at getting Thunderfury, that badass sword everyone spams in trade chat.

What was the first thing I did when I had that binding in my bags?
I whispered the druid that won it and told him I paid his friend 10,000 gold for it. Suck it.

tl;dr
Lost alotta gold. Got binding.

Comment by Eclipsegirl

This quest chain also allows warlocks.
Maybe it didn't back in Vanilla days.
But it does now.

Comment by 710951

In MoP, legendaries are now viable again, as they're gonna scale in stats just like heirlooms.

Comment by jaguara

Yesterday I was messing around in MC, finishing off my warrior's t1 xmog set, when Garr dropped the first half. I was like "oh.....ok, that's nice." I get to Baron and the OTHER half drops. I was like "ok holy ^&*!" and ran to Silithus to the TF chain quest guy. Long story short, in less than 24 hours I went from no thoughts of ever having a TF in my head to having one. After almost 8 years, Blizzard finally stopped #$%^ting on my account (kind of).

Comment by Misuteri

Here's a reply that's soon to be downgraded into oblivion then hidden.

I had no real desire to get this thing or farm it for months or years like many people did. I just wanted my warlock T1 set. So first MC run, 2 warlock pieces, left half. Next run, 1 warlock piece. Third run, 1 warlock piece, right half and of course since I never expected to see the 2nd half went and got the quest for the essence of Firelord.

So, I don't have my complete T1 yet but... I have a legendary that I was never trying to get. Isn't RNG fail sometimes? Now will someone tell the RNG gods to drop my Felheart gloves? I'm tired of all these legendaries dropping already and really just want to finish my set.

Comment by Lottielot

I've been able to pick up this quest on my balance druid! I find this a little cruel, as I can't equip the sword if I do it, but as I have the pieces and quest now I'm too intrigued to not try to complete it :( Interesting to get the pieces drop on a druid tho.

Comment by baconseed

Seems like Garr is the hardest one to get bindings from.

Meanwhile Baron Geddon is the HOTTEST one to get the bindings from.

Comment by Servo91

Has the drop chance been reduced for either of the bindings? or does my chance just suck lol, farmed over 100times each, dont have either.

Comment by Sdesser

Back in Vanilla when I started playing my rogue, I drooled after this mighty sword and started my hunt for it.
To cut the story short, after 5-6 years and countless MC runs later I finally had both of the bindings (had farmed the other mats back in TBC) and mere minutes later, I had the sword of my distant dreams (19/09/2011 never forget). I still equip it on my rogues off hand when I do BG:s for fun. The funny part is that just yesterday (6th of september 2012) I got the last part of my T2 set, the pants from Ragnaros which I also had been farming for years.

The Gods of RNG do not like me.

Comment by pepperc

I ran Molten Core once a week for a month and a half and this week I got the right half after I had the left half drop the previous week, basically I had both bindings within a month and a half... Before getting the bindings I got the smelt Enchanted Elementium from BWL so I gathered mats to lvl my smelting to 300 which cost me probably 1k I bought 3 bars for 1.5k each and crafted the rest totaling to 8500g spent... this Tuesday after I run MC again and get Rags heart I will go get my Thunderfury

Comment by TemporalAnarchy

It seems like, as of now, the attack speed slow will no longer proc on targets level 80 or higher. The cutoff could be lower, as I was testing with target dummies in Stormwind and they're obviously in level cap increments (60, 70, 80, 85, etc). This may be old news, but I had failed to find this information anywhere as no one really uses it anymore and thought it would be worth sharing.

However, the 25 nature resist reduction does still proc and will cause the TF debuff animations to occur, so continue to envelop those gigantic bosses in tornadoes!

Comment by Alanbdot

Alright so I am the Realm First! Level 90 Monk on my server. Decided to run MC as I have been farming Thunderfury on my Warrior for 2 years (yet to see a Binding) and my Warlock for about 4 months (No Binding either). For the heck of it I take my Monk there and long story short, I got my Right Binding off Garr on Run #1.

Thought I would share. I will keep you all posted on my race to be the First 90 Monk in the World with Thunderfury.

Comment by Shadybear

To be honest I feel kind of terrible. I have ran MC a total of 5 times and got both bindings. Its a shame because I know how hard a grind can be and how some have been trying to get the left or right bindings for months. My advice, the drops are just crazy random, they can both drop in a month or in a year, just hang in there and they will drop maybe not today, maybe not next week, but they will drop.

Comment by Liberace

My understanding is that this is no longer available to max levels, is this correct? I know I have an alt with one binding in the bank but was told not to bother trying for the other that the quest only awards 78 silver or so when you complete it. Is this true?

Comment by tarc

With 5.04 and shared achievements, all your alts will now display this Feat of Strength.

Whats the Armour that goes with this.

Comment by Noxheart

If i have done the quests and got thunderfury. And then my mates does the quests and we kill thunderaan. And the quest beginner drops. If he trades it to me. Can i get a second thunderfury. Or will it only say "you have already vompleated that quest

I got both bindings in 2 weeks, left today and right last week....on my SHAMAN :(

Comment by Satyrous

Is this able to be tansmoged? I thought i saw someone with Sulfuras transmog.

Comment by gamedotwow

Thinking about farming this, but I have a feeling Blizzard is going to update it, just as we saw with Zin'rokh and Sulfuras.

It's a very nostalgic piece, but I'm not sure if it's worth all of your time. Some people run Molten Core here and there and manage to loot the mats, some people run it for years and don't see either binding. My recommendation is this: if you're max level and you're pretty much just doing dailies and waiting for new content because you're already top notch, go for it. If you're either still leveling or just capped, don't worry about it yet.

I feel that a lot of people have gone from wasting their lives on grinding to wasting their lives on farming. Don't do either! Do an instance run every day or two, don't devote your life to it, because you could end up missing out on modern content!

Comment by bobalmity36

you will continue to loot the bindings (if they drop) even after you have TF... they are soulbound and have no sell price, so its just for funzies

Comment by Jacobblaylock

After much math i have found out exactly what BASE materials are required to get your thunderfury. (This instructable assumes you are a miner of at least skill lvl 300)

1. you will need to buy 30 elemental flux's from vendors
2. you will need 10 fiery cores from various mobs in MC
3. you will need to get the pattern from the boss by the technicians in BWL so you can smelt the elementium ( technicians will be mentioned later on)

Now for the more time consuming parts.

1. you must kill Garr in molten core approximately 25 times. this will get you one of the bindings of the windseeker to start the whole chain.
2. you must kill Baron Geddon approximately 33 times. this will get you the other bindings of the windseeker
3. You will need to mine just about 1000 thorium veins (big or small, ooze covered or not) to get 100 arcane crystals and enough ores for 100 thorium bars.
4.Kill about 140 of the technicians in BWL to get 10 of the ingots.

Back to quicker steps, but these ones !MUST BE DONE LAST!

1. Smelt all of your thorium ore into 100 thorium bars. easy peasy.
2. Xmute all of your thorium bars and arcane crystals into arcanite bars (you may need more than one person to do this Xmute, I'm not sure if there's still a cooldown on this Xmute).
3. use the pattern you got from the boss by the technicians, as previously mentioned, to smelt ALL of your Arcanite bars with the cores, ingots, and flux's you bought/got previously into 10 enchanted elementium bars.
4. Finally, you must kill Ragnaros in the molten core to receive the FINAL piece to your quest.
5. Go turn in your quest and have the guy summon thunderaan, he should be soloable as a lvl 80+. once you kill him, pick up the blade, and Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker will be in your hands, enjoy it.

If this tutorial has any mistakes please mention it so that the WoW community may still use it to their advantage. Otherwise, enjoy your Thunderfury :)

Note: Sulfuras has many steps that are done in the same areas or nearby to these, so if your toon has 2H mace proficiency i'd suggest following my other guide as well on the Sulfuras page

Best feeling of a OH to PvP with. Highly recommended. And good luck to all you without bindings. Keep going, 'cause this item is worth it.

Comment by Jedimastur

So after 3-4 LONG years of running MC on multiple toons trying to get this thing made.. It finally happened. I originally got the left binding on a rogue I had and for 5 months the right one never dropped. I had 2 accounts, and started playing my warrior more in wrath. Just last week on 11/23, had the left binding drop on him, and on reset day 11/26, the right binding dropped. BEEN AFTER THE DANG THING FOR SO LONG and the wow gods finally cut me a break. Don't give up, such a great feel to play using this weapon! Still holds threat perfectly fine in MoP heroics and break this bad boy out for spell reflect in bgs :P

3 years of grinding, finally got my last binding yesterday.

Feels sooooooo goooood !

Don't give up !

Comment by Tauhrak

Just thought i'd mention, as no one else has, If you get this weapon on a character that can't wield swords, it doesn't count towards the Feat of Strength that you get on equipping it, this is very frustrating as i got it on my druid. I asked a GM if i could send it to an alt that could wield it, and to my demise, they said no.

Comment by Harof

Somewhere blizzard are laughing on me
More than 20 runs on my warrior and got only the right half from Garr. Twice in a row.
Last week i've started running on my priest.
First week Gedon gives me the left half
Second week, today, Garr gives me the right half

Maybe next week i'll get Eye of sulfuras, to complete my useless collection

Comment by Curycoo

you will find that after you have gotten both of your bindings and have gotten your thunderfury, they will start dropping more. A lot more.

Comment by radicarl

Every once in a while, people in my realm (Lothar, US, Horde Side) will find ways to work this sword into the conversation on /2 (trade chat), and then spam link it repeatedly in "relevant" ways... I suspect mostly because the ridiculously long name starts to annoy some and amuse others.

Comment by dstark9

I just ran Molten Core farming the new pets. Both bindings dropped for me in the same raid. Was very surprised since I hardly ever see these things drop. I have ran Molten Core probaly over 70-80 times lifetime if not more. I think I've only seen them drop 3 times prior. I made my Thunderfury sword about a year ago. When I made that sword in the same week I also got the legendary Thoridal Bow from The Sunwell and also finished my legendary dagger quest. I got 3 legendaries within a 7 day period. That might be a wow record. Garetjaxx, area 52 horde side.

Comment by hazz0r

I heard about this sword when RTZS released "World of Roguecraft", when TBC came i start playing with Thunderfury in the back of my mind and started to farming it late TBC on and off. After New Years 2012 i got back from a trip and i decided to farm it every week on multiple chars until i had both bindings. Garr dropped the right binding on the second week and now Baron dropped the left on after six weeks of farming.. Lucky? Ya im ready to say that!

Comment by Deano77

Can a Shadow Priest Transmog this come 5.2 ?

Comment by Yair1

Requirements(Guide/Steps) to make the Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker

So first you go to the Molten core until you get both bindings (or one doesn't matter)
Bindings of the Windseeker(The Left Half) - 4.23% drop chance, dropped from Baron Geddon in the Molten Core
Bindings of the Windseeker(The Right Half) - 4.45% drop chance, dropped from Garr in the Molten Core

Then you go to Silithus and talk to Highlord Demitrian in the Crystal Vale (the top left corner of Silithus) and you pick up Examine the Vessel (Complete it) then you pick up Thunderaan the Windseeker (Go back to the Molten Core and kill the remaining bosses (when you kill ragnaros you will get the Essence of the Firelord, its 100% drop chance)

Then all that is left is the Enchanted Elementium Bar(x10) ( Recipe to make Enchanted Elementium Bar drops from Master Elemental Shaper Krixix also)

To make the Enchanted Elementium Bar you need the following:

Elementium Ingot(x10) - Dropped from Blackwing Technician's(8% drop chance) and from Master Elemental Shaper Krixix(5% drop chance) (This is from the level 60 raid Blackwing Lair in the Black Rock Mountain, Searing Gorge)

Arcanite Bar(x100) - Made by alchemists which requires Thorium Bar(x1) and Arcane Crystal(x1)(mined mostly from thorium(from Un'Goro Crater)(You can take the chance of only collecting around 80Thorium Bar's and 80Arcane Crystal's since when a alchemist transmutes them there is the chance of them "proc'ing" and giving you 2 or more.)

Fiery Core(x10) - Fiery Core's are basically dropped from any fire elementals in the molten core

Elemental Flux(x30) - Can be bought from mostly any NPC that has to do with blacksmithing and that will vendor items to you.

I forgot to mention that none of the items needed to make the bars are soul-bound so you could just get them all off of an Auction House if you have enough gold and they are there (Then get the Fluxes from a Blacksmith vendor) and then just find a Miner with the recipe to make your bars for you.

For those who do not know this, to enter the Molten Core you go to the Black Rock Mountain in the Searing gorge, there inside the Black Rock Mountain Dungeon (Around level 55) you find the entrance to the Molten core, but to make the trip to the Molten Core quicker there is a quest outside from Lothos Riftwaker called Attunement to the Core which allows you teleport by speaking to him whenever you want to the Molten Core entrance (much faster then walking everytime on your Bindings grind). The quest is just to walk to the entrance of the Molten Core and loot a shard near the entrance then return it to him after you do so you can speak to him to teleport to the Molten Core thereforth.

Comment by Terrassen

It is still possible to receive and loot the Bindings even after everyone eligible for the loot, have completed the final quest to obtain Thunderfury on the specific character.

Comment by eaglewing

Once you obtain this the biggest question is what enchants to use. Mongoose, crusader, deathfrost etc. I found for me the best enchant to use is Living Steel Weapon chain. +200 expertise and reduce disarm effect. I'm like a kid with a new toy been using it in raid finder as off hand(fury war) and tanking as well. It adds a purple glow around the central blue looks amazing, as well as higher dps/threat gen at lvl 90 then any other enchant that your able to put on it. Id equip it quickly as i'm sure blizz will catch on and nerf.

Comment by devilofanger

Did someone say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?

Comment by critsurmom1127

i think if you have one half of the bindings on you and you do MC you will get the other half it worked for me twice

Comment by DragonsBlood

I'm probably not the first one who says this, but this is the one of the best looking swords blizzard added to the game, ever. There issome nice lookin' stuff besides this one, like the Warglaive's of Azzinoth(doesn't matter if main or off hand atm) and some others, ofcourse regardless to the rareness and stat's of the weapon(s). We are talking here about only the look of the weapon, not its obtainability or some other facts. Enchating this one with mongoose would give it and ultimate look regarding the fact that Thunderfury already has a thundery/lightning look which the enchant would only enhance further and making it deserve its name even more :) The bonus of the sword, back in the days ofcourse was fantastic and the stats of the weapon make it a nice tank or rogue weapon, but to get this, the way wasnt easy... Getting the bindings was only the beggining,if you were even that lucky on the droprate and your rolling, considering the fact that getting this was only possible with a 40 man raid. Got a bit easier with TBC and WOTLK, but it was still a pain in the ass,and people who have it know what im talking about. Sadly blizz decided to remove it with the launch of CATA, but i guess that's a reason more for old players to stand out in the masses of players in every city and raid :)) happy downrating

Comment by cronoedge

Finally obtained the right binding today. My warlock is now the proud new owner of a thunderfury! :D Onivex US Hellscream Alliance

Comment by Julow

Would be so great if you also got a title too for obtaining Thunderfury. - Like 'Windseeker 'Name', or 'Name' the Windseeker.

- And these titles doesn't exist so far!

Comment by Abnet

I decided to run MC for the pets so I went in and had a binding drop for my priest. I was a bit sad because I've run MC at least 50 times over the years on various other alts with no luck. Well I thought nothing of it and carried on to the other raids for the pets then decided I would do them all on my DK.

So I go in not thinking anything of the binding anymore when I'm shocked to see another binding drop.

So of course I think "aw I would've gotten Thunderfury if they were on the same toon!"

Well to my astonishment, about a minute later the other binding dropped!

The best part is it was the first time my DK ever stepped foot in MC.

I submitted a screenshot for proof.

Also here is a link to my armory for further proof.
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/moonrunner/Lanai/simple

Comment by Illicent

I got lucky when I farmed mine, in that it dropped within about six months of running MC.. Unlucky, however, in that it dropped on my priest- apparently, you have to actually wield the weapon to get the personal achievement. We did, however, get the guild achievement for it, after submitting a GM ticket.

Comment by sololock

I just got this today, thought it would be fun to transmog it. Found out it is not moggable. I know the site says its not moggable, but I thought that the TF couldn't be mogged, but rather I was trying to make my Pandaria main hand look like the TF. BUT, I am still happy I have it.

Comment by TevishSzat

My mage now awaits the ability to transmog to legendary items, if only because it would be comical to turn a 1-handed caster weapon owned by a female Blood Elf into the discombobulatingly massive Thunderfury.

Really, it seems off that you can't transmogrify to Legendary items: Aside from a few mounts like Mimiron's Head or the Ashes of Al'ar, Legendary items are the ultimate achievement in WoW: Even now, when it's quite possible to farm Molten Core solo, it still takes a great deal of dedication to obtain Thunderfury. If there's one item you want to show off that you have, it's a legendary.

Comment by timbazi

I got the last (left half) bindings and having all the items to get the sword, I rushed and finished with Molten Core (Killing Raggy) Bad idea.. only after that did I notice that I need to kill Raggy for a quest item. Now I need to wait for next week. Don't make the same mistake that I did...

Comment by TheStatman

It will soon be possible for Warriors to appear to be Dual-wielding two Thunderfurys (or is it Thunderfurii or Thunderfuries).

in 5.4, with Glyph of the Weaponmaster, if a warrior who can Dual-wield has 1 weapon equipped, while having Thunderfury as the only weapon in their BACKPACK, and they then use a shout ability to get the 10min buff Weaponmaster, then their weapon will now look like they are using Thunderfury. Now if they then equip their actual Thuderfury as their second weapon, they will appear to have two on at once.

Comment by Chaosrex

Why in gods name Blizz din't make the legendaries to work like the heirloom items?, you know, growing in lvl.

i mean you can get those nifty looking and hard to get with time consuming quests and whatnots, but once the next expansion hits, they are overthrown by the first green item you get...

i mean its LEGENDARIES ITEMS, for *!@#s sacks...

It not so unreasonable...

If at least you could Transmog them, but no.

So please BLizz, make them has Heirlooms.

Comment by kijahroo

FACT: Legendary weapons magically shrink to fit the hands of their wielders. Sulfuras shrinks from Ragnaros-size and Thunderfury shrinks from Thunderaan-size.

Comment by Module

I finished my questline and got the Thunderfury on my Warlock. I wish that as a reward for dedicated players that we can transmog the Thunderfury and have it be a Bind on Account item.

Having it's ilvl match our lvl is also a nice idea. Just like the BoA items that increase as we level.

It was a fun experience farming the 2 bindings and finishing the quest line. It took me 3 years to finish. Getting a title with the achievement would also be nice something like "the Windseeker"

Comment by DrakeRage

To all of those who was trying to get the sword. I just happened to be in MC and I was looking for mogs, but had totally forgotten about the bindings of the windseeker. SO I went in and killed both of the bosses and guess what. It dropped both the left binding and the right binding on the same dame. I was so happy. I went out of the dungeon and went to Silithius and started my lengendary quest. I am super excited. :D

Comment by reaper7

hello all!i just wanna ask...this is a one-hand sword,im playing dk so is it possible to have 2 of these so i can transmorf it to my DW speck?cause if i can equip/take only one is a no go for me!thank you!

Comment by Bindingagony

Finally got this after all these years of waiting for the left half of the bindings..and thou I wish I had gotten it back when it would have been useful..still one of the best looking weapons in game

Comment by makiato

Finaly got this yesterday after farming for 2 days for the crystals! Sadly when i tried to log on today i found my account banned! Hopefully i get it back!

Comment by cletena

If you transmog one of your trinkets into this weapon, you will be able to trigger the chance on hit effect without even being able to equip it, like if you were a druid or something, thorns would trigger the effect.

Comment by shinngyboy

I got this precious today, after one year of tears, now its mine, a shame nobody appreciates the effort and courage to get this little but magnificent sword.

Comment by Chrii

Imo all legendarys should work like a heirloom 1-90, since its so hard to obtain, with exception of cloak. Maybe that one unlocks after WOD launches so it can be sent to other toons.

Legendary cloak
Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros
Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
Warglaive of Azzinoth & Warglaive of Azzinoth
Shadowmourne
Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury
Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings

Discuss, what do you think?

I think it would be awsome to be able to use my Thunderfury 1-90(100)

Comment by Powernap

Thunderfury and Storm Bolt.....

Comment by Minigunner

Currently level 90 paladin tanks can use this weapon without a huge loss to their TPS due to the fact that most of a paladin tanks abilities do not scale with % weapon damage. I can tank heroic SoO bosses with this an have no issues holding off of my dps.

The only issue you have tanking with a weapon like this is that your raid members may not always find it reassuring that you are wearing a level 60 weapon in a level 90 raid.

From what I can tell this weapon also procs seal of insight less than a level 90 weapon for some reason. I haven't figured it out yet. it's possible theres an internal cooldown on seal of insight that thunderfury beats with my haste being greater than 50%. I am going to try hitting the dummy with a different level 60 weapon and a level 80 weapon as well later and see if there is a difference because of level or attack speed.

Comment by Raveramix

Tonight, i was watching a streamer get a binding drop and saying he was lucky. Then i hopped on my DK alt and got a double drop... no joke. My senses tell me that blizzard MIGHT have ninja buffed the drop rate.

Thunderfury is also a Legendary item in Diablo 3 now. Official website item page.

The flavor text in D3: "This ancient blade, imbued with unpredictable elemental energies, crossed vast universes and hidden dimensions before arriving in Sanctuary. Thunderfury seeks the hand of a true hero, one capable of safely wielding its awesome power."

Good news if you are both a WoW and Diablo 3 player!

For those (i.e. more than 99.9%) who was not able to get this during classic WoW time, you can find this in Diablo 3 now!

Yes, Thunderfury was added as a legendary 1-hand sword in the recent patch 2.0.1. Just got mine yesterday. =)

Comment by Furuki

Chrii:

I don't think that Legendaries should scale with level, but I think Legendaries should be given upgrade levels, like the current content epics have, but many more, perhaps with a Valor cost that scales itself, so upgrading your Legendary to current content would require a massive time commitment at first, and then you could work at maintaining them with future content. Blizzard doesn't want Legendaries to be "pick this up and never have to upgrade this slot again" items, but I think they should offer a way to allow players who want to keep the flavor of having a Legendary to do so without necessarily allowing them to do so without having to work toward it.

Having Legendaries flat out scale with level would allow 90s to faceroll old content to pick up BiS items, which would not be good. However, I think that letting 90s faceroll old content and then have to spend months doing new content to acquire the Valor to upgrade their shiny new Legendaries to current level would be a decent alternative. The time commitment would scale naturally too. If you do the questline to get Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest, which is no mean feat even at level 90, you'd have to do far less to upgrade it than if you just soloed Kil'jaeden weeks on end until you got Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury, because Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest has a far higher "base" item level than Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury.

Its down to 7.7dps, putting it on par with Dead Mines loot as far as raw dps goes. I'm not entirely sure the proc could make up for the fact that it has about 1/4th the dps of other level 60 one handed weapons..

Again, doesn't really matter, not many 60s are going to be using this to level with..

So I have been playing since vanilla & I never wanted to farm any legendary weapons because I didn't find it worthwhile. Well on August 28th (2014) I decided to start farming the Binding, I got lucky & the right one dropped!
The coming Tuesday on sept 2nd (2014) The left binding dropped. I was already stoked and happy as can be.
So I turn in the quest & I have to kill Ragnaros, I kill Ragnaros & the eye of sulfuras dropped! LOL
I got both legendary weapons in 5 days time #WINNING #Charliesheen hahaha

Comment by Bikonito

Doesn't seem to be on Wowhead at the moment, but an ilvl 640 version of Thunderfury drops in the new WoW 10th anniversary Molten Core raid. It's epic quality as well, therefore; transmog ahoy!

Comment by velociti

I still tank with this just for %^&*s and giggles. Threat is a non-issue for a warrior and you can tank with even your lvl 1 weapon. I lose a little bit of stats but it's not a big deal if you are doing easy content. In fact I just main tanked WoW anniversary lvl 100 MC with this.

It appears that you can no longer link Thunderfury in certain chat channels, When you press enter to send the message it doesnt send. Could be just an addon but I have more reason to believe its server-side. Can anyone confirm?
So far it does not work with channels like Trade, Guild, Say, and General, but works for Instance and Party.

Comment by Thorongil7

At lvl 100, does the proc still slow the melee speed of mobs, including bosses? For a 7k HP and 7% DPS loss on Tankadin, 20% slow on melee-heavy/-only enemies would be worth it, IMO.

Comment by Volleynova

Back in 2005 in a guild Molten Core run, I had passed on one of the bindings because I wanted to save my DKP to complete my Tier 1, if I had known it would have taken me 7 years to get both bindings I would never have passed. Alas, in 2012 I was able to complete my Thunderfury and it became my very first Legendary item.

Can anyone confirm that there is now an ilevel 636 heroic Warforged BoP version of Thunderfury?

So for druid tanks, and hunters back when they still used melee weapons?

Comment by tahini

I use this as an off-hand now with main hand Shadowmourne. Do I do as much damage as other fury warriors? No, but it's surprising how it's not actually that bad. There just isn't an incentive to use a common weapon once you have legendaries. Plus I like to think of myself as the leader, and leaders can be a little idiosynchratic in wanting to use legendaries. Ha!

Comment by Quasodas

Had been farming this for years on my rogue/paladin weekly. Finally capped my mage as well now, and decided to start farming on that too. Last week the first binding dropped, the next the other dropped.... it'll never be as appreciated as it would be on my melee classes, but nonetheless, don't give up hope!

Comment by LagatoSummers

Literally the only hard part about this quest line is waiting for the BINDINGS OF THE WINDSEEKER
to drop.

Everything else in this quest line is easy at levels 60 - 85.

Comment by smoer

11 years...
11 years of farming the bindings on multiple characters and I finally got the right half for one complete set of bindings today!

Comment by Hoobley

I just returned to WoW after about 4 years and on my second run in Molten Core both bindings dropped in the same run. Unbelievable!

I've wanted this for 10 years.

Comment by Gigabear

To duel wield this item(not really, it's an illusion), put it in your OFF HAND, and I think you need another weapon in mainhand, doesn't matter what. Next, target yourself and use Ai-Li's Skymirror. If done properly, you now have Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker in both hands.

Why is this useful? Well, it gives you an excuse to type "Did somebody say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?" Instead of the usual one link per comment."

When you finally get this, you will squeal like a little girl. You'll equip it and run around all excited. You'll tell your friends. You'll tweet screenshots of the achievement toast, the FoS in your chieve list, and of you wielding your mighty weapon. You'll make references to Benedictus and how that he approves all of all dat POWAH! that you have now with your ilvl 80 legendary awesomeness. You'll run around and fly around just watching the graphic effect trail off the weapon. You'll stand around in front of other players, 'cause you know you look all AWESOME with all dat POWAH! POWAH! POWAH!

Well, that's what I did anyway.

Comment by LordFordring

This weapon wields Great power and trolling

Comment by Darruk

"This item is the final reward of a challenging and very expensive quest line, which can be started by a hunter, paladin, rogue, death knight, or warrior."

Maybe someone should edit this guide? Before, I don't know, a hunter is running Molten Core for the last 4 months hoping to get a Bindings. Only to find out that hunters can't start the quest. Thanks...

Comment by Wraughten

I would just like to toss this in here.... I have been playing WoW since release.. I was the MT of a guild that was the first to down Ragnaros on the entire realm... I have been playing day in and day out since then.. and as of 2016.. February that is.. running MC nearly every week, soloing since it was possible EVERY week... I have yet to see a binding drop. SO, to those of you saying "Oh just keep farming it, it'll drop..." SINCERELY FYOU. Nearly 600 runs later, not a single drop of the binding... hell, I am almost afraid to keep farming for it. I will probably get the first binding after 15 years, and spend the next 10 getting the other one. As far as I am concerned, this binding does not exist. OH, and PS, may as well double my numbers, because I have been doing this run on TWO characters this entire time, my warrior, and my rogue... so make that 1,200+ runs and NOT A SINGLE DROP.. Many choice words for those people who got it after "1 year of solid grinding omg i never thought it would drop" have been removed from this post. May god be with you.

Comment by reikatana

TFW you have both bindings on a character, but that character is druid and can't equip the sword and thus can't get the achievement.

Comment by CruSherFL

Works fine with the Timewalking BC event. I love it.

Comment by Andreakos

I'm so happy, after farming it for weeks on my Paladin, it dropped both bindings on my Demon Hunter just yesterday night on the first run, shame i didn't notice it until after i've killed Raggy ;.;

Comment by wsad

So, Demon Hunters can actually equip it? Bindings dropped last night and I don't want to farm like crazy to make it and just have it on my inventory. Thanks.

Comment by Badpunsguy

Is it possible to use this as a transmog now?

Comment by inexistent

I can confirm this quest/weapon isn't bugged for Demon Hunters.

Comment by Gaydicks420

I just broke the game, I came here on my paladin (Hope-Deathwing) to get the t2 pally legs off rag. 3rd time in here. I recieved both bindings in the same run. Sorry to the people who have been farming for months. Wish i could post a pic with this to prove it

This is not true, I successfully acquired this weapon, equipped it and was awarded the achievement as a retribution paladin.

Comment by Myranda101

Since Sargeras put his little sword in the whole zone some things have changed - apperently.
If you wish to get the quest you'll need to talk to Zidormi, located at 78/21, near the road that comes from un'goro crater. after that you will be able to continue as normal. :)
Gratz on the legendary, not like we need more since legion but hey, gotta get that achievement of Thunderfury, Blessed blade of the windseeker.

Comment by matt4077

Finally got Thunderfury. It took 46 solo runs, non-consecutive, to get the left and right halves of the Bindings of the Windseeker. And I had most of the reagents that needed to be smelted. Was it worth it? Well, I'm still going to run Molten Core for the Eye of Sulfuras, which I believe has a lower drop rate than the two bindings, to eventually get Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros. So yeah, it was worth it. Good hunting and may the RNG forever be in your favor.
