Weapons[]

Not currently in the game.

In the Legion expansion, Ashbringer is available as an artifact for Retribution paladins.
Added in patch 1.11, obtaining it involved going into Naxxramas and completing a questline notably by collecting all fragments of Atiesh. When Naxxramas was moved to the Dragonblight and retuned for level 80, the quests and quest drops for the staff were removed. The staff was used by Medivh in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and was eventually reconstructed by his son, Med'an. Currently wielded by Khadgar.
First discovered in the World of Warcraft Official Armory, this appears to be the first, and only legendary fishing pole.

Items[]

A crystal that summons a Black Qiraji Battle Tank (fast bug mount). It's exactly like the red, green, yellow, and blue Battle Tanks that can be frequently found in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, but it can be used anywhere in the world, not just AQ40 like the others. A player must complete the extremely difficult Scepter of the Shifting Sands raid-based questline and be the first to ring the Scarab Gong to open the gates of Ahn'Qiraj, or must ring it within 10 hours of the first player's ring (during the Ahn'Qiraj Invasion event). As the gates are now automatically opened on all new servers, this item is no longer obtainable.
