| − | A '''wand''' is a [[weapon]] that causes [[Arcane]], [[Fire]], [[Frost]], [[Holy]], [[Nature]], or [[Shadow]] [[damage]]. They may be used by [[Priest]]s, [[Mage]]s and [[Warlock]]s. There is no restriction on the damage type that can be wielded and used; you can use wands outside your native damage capabilities. No class that can use wands needs to train to use them. (See the [[Per Class Proficiencies]] table for who can use what weapons.) |

||
| − | Before the 1.5 patch, wands were often berated by the caster community, who felt they were basically useless thanks to low [[DPS|damage per second]]. But with 1.5, wand wielders gained the ability to autoshoot wands, increasing their DPS to the amount listed in the tooltip. This greatly improved their utility -- but now you must stop autoshoot [[Wand#To stop using a Wand|(see below)]] before casting spells. |

||
| − | * Wands use no [[ammo]] and no [[mana]]. They are typically used as a back-up for when you run out of mana. For low-level casters, a wand is often considered an effective means of killing a mob while saving their smaller mana pool for other spells, such as crowd control or healing. |

| − | * Most of first low-level arcane damage wands are made by [[Enchanter]]s. These are one of the few items an enchanter can make and sell directly (these all Bind on Equip), so you should be able to find them in your [[auction house]], often heavily discounted due to seller competition. These are all [[Quality|Uncommon Quality (Green)]] items, but note that unlike most green weapons, crafted wands cannot be [[Disenchanting|disenchanted]]. |

| − | |||
| − | * There are also [[Quality|Common Quality (White)]] wands which can be purchased from wand vendors. None of these is available to a beginning ([[Level]] 1-10) caster. As white items, these cannot be disenchanted, but they (all?) do not bind and can be resold or otherwise traded. There is a wand vendor in each capital city except [[Thunder Bluff]] and [[Darnassus]], and also one in [[Shattrath City]]. (See [[Wand#Wand_Vendors|Wand Vendors]] below) |

| − | ===Attributes-based wand=== |
||

| − | *{{loot|rare|Oblivion's Touch}}, a drop from [[Scholomance]] |
||
| − | *{{loot|rare|Stormrager}}, a quest reward from {{questlong|alliance|60R|Order Must Be Restored|id=6187}} and {{questlong|Horde|60G|The Scarlet Oracle, Demetria|id=6148}} |

| − | |||
| − | ===Spell-based wand=== |

||
| − | |||
| − | ===Hybrid wand=== |
||
| − | Such wands have properties from more than on category, and it is hard to clarify primary and secondary properties. Example: |
