Quest: For The Horde!

Objectives

Travel to Blackrock Spire and slay Warchief Rend Blackhand. Take his head and return to Orgrimmar.

You, <Name>, will find a way to pass through the Halls of Ascension. You will then find 'Warchief' Rend Blackhand and you will destroy him - FOR THE HORDE!

<Thrall slams a fist down upon his throne.>

The next time you return to my chambers, you will hold his head high in triumph and then you shall present it to your Warchief. Do this and be honored as a hero of the Horde.

Progress

<Thrall grunts.>

In honor of your heroics, the people of Kalimdor shall be rewarded!

I'm taking the tank trinket myself(warrior). I am a 2h fury war, but id much rathter have rune of the guard captain instead, i have a huge problem with my hamstrings/executes/crap missing in BGs, and much rather prefer chance to hit over crit. either way, and even if i stacked this with that, id just ditch it for Maelstrom trinket, so no reason to get this crit trinket at all.

The tank trinket, however, is 1 of the 2 best tank trinkets you can get pre ZG/onxyia/mc+. Stack it with DM book reward trinket and you are solid. Theres an enchanter tank trinket, which im an enchanter, but this has higher armor+dodge

personally as a rog I like the mark of tynarry for solo and the blackhand's breath for group questing. it gives me close to 6% extra armor, and a +1% extra dodge.

for blackhand's breath, It has to compete with rune of the guard captain, the rog Renataki's Charm of Trickery but it outperformes Royal Seal of Eldre'Thalas except for mc runs

What is it you dont get? He is fury spec and uses a 2h weapon... not that hard to comprehend. Just because you use a 2h doesnt mean you have MS.

Absolutely wrong. The tanking trinket just sucks. Take onyxia + AV exalted. Much better... On the other hand +2% crit is not easy to find.

Think about this though. Druid recieve 360% bonus all items AC while in Bear form. So we recieve 648 total AC from this trinket. It something to think before saying something totally sucks.

Until 1.10 is released, you can do it with 15 people.

When 1.10 comes out, Blackrock Spire (Lower and Upper) will be capped to 10 people, so you'll have to do it with ten.

So, if you want to do it in no-skill easy mode, I'd recommend getting this quest done quickly. ;)

ohhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! arugh!

dang!

I am so so tempted by Blackhand's Breadth because 2% crit is awesome for enhansement shammy which is what I do for most of my personal free time.

However, I am in a raiding guild, and in that raiding guild all I do is cast spells, and there the crit to melee would be useless to me, whereas the 2% spell crit is VERY nice. I even use spells while soloing, so this is something I would use all the time.

about 20 agi = 1% crit
about 100 int = 1% spell crit

so you do the math and figure out which one would be more impossible to replace.

I choose Eye of the Beast.

This is kind of sad. All but one of my raids on UBRS have killed Rend. Its an easy quest with good rewards. Way, way, way easier than having to do all of LBRS in my opinion.

I'm guessing, just like the Onyxia head turn-in, you don't get a buff if it has been completed in the last hour.

To avoid this, check to see if vendors have the buff or not.

Everybody who have the quest will be able to loot the head. Make sure you time the hand-in though, as the Warchief's Blessing runs on a timer and you won't get it if it has just been cast.

This quest really isn't that hard if you've got the right raid. That and if you have one of the Chromatic armor quests, you can grab scales and maybe a Carapace in the process. End reward not only gives you a trinket, but Thrall yells over Orgrimmar and you all get Warchief's Blessing uber-buff. =D

Toast out.

Warlord's Command which is given by the Warlord on the tower in Kargath, it requires you to kill Warmaster Voone, Overlord Omok, and Wyrmthalak along with getting the Important Blackrock Documents. After you hand it in, you will have to talk to Eitrigg in Thrall's Chamber until the conversation is complete. Then you talk to Thrall and he will give you this quest.
