at 80)Dirk Thunderwood at Cenarion Hold wants you to bring him Venoxis's Venom Sac and Kurinnaxx's Venom Sac.
My brother and I run the poison operations out of the manor Ravenholdt.
Lord Ravenholdt tasked me to track down a new and extremely effective poison compound that can be crafted from the venom sacs of the inhabitants of Zul'Gurub and the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj.
There are two particularly venomous beasts residing in those blasted ruins that possess what it is that we might be looking for, <Class>. Bring me a venom sac from the beasts Kurinnaxx and Venoxis and we would be eternally grateful.
This ain't no smash and grab job, <name>. You're gonna need to bring friends.
Ravenholdt thanks you, hero! Take your pick!

Never trust a troll with tusks that point down!!
Preference is 2 bonescrapers though.
The X-Bow is very nice, the increased dps over any of the 55+ Ranged, wileys, carapace spine and ancient bone bow is quite nice, add to it the + chance to hit and this makes a nice ranged wepon to take into MC for tranqing (if you don't already own a Strikers mark)
Doomulous Prime > Arcanite Reaper - So Warriors and Pallies can pretty much forget about the Arcanite Reaper, and spending between 500g and 700g for a weapon they can replace with one that's free (other than repair costs).
The Thunderwood Poker > Heartseeker - Again, this weapon just makes Heartseeker completely not worth while. Why spend a HUGE amount of G on heartseeker when all you have to do for this is get into a good guild. (Considering how old most servers are these days, that's not a hard task)
And if you look at almost every other weapon, several classes could justifiably use them until end game content like MC, BWL, AQ40, or Noxx when it comes out. But then we all look at the Shiv... Like I said, locks are probably not to unhappy with the Shiv. Mages on the other hand got squat. :( Poor mages.
Don't get me wrong though, I think Blizzard did a tremendous job on the rewards for this quest. They are going to save a ton of people a ton of money.
They are better off with a sword or axe for +crit or +extra hit, the stuns will be going off very rarely.
Not that it's a bad mace, it's just not a replacement for Arcanite reaper.
mace spec is not great. no argument there.
But if you are tank specced, like quite a lot warriors are, and find yourself in a position where you can dps, this weapons >> arcanite reaper.
Why?
+22 stamina
+22 strength
+1% to hit.
Throw a 25 agi enchant for good measure on it and it's godly.
It has slightly less dps then the reaper (55.7 vs 53.8 base)
the 62 AP form AR gives 4.5 dps extra (total 58.3)
DP strength gives 1.7dps extra (total 57.4)
So in the end, AR has 1dps more the DP
but DP also gives +1% hit (which is excellent) AND 22 stamina (220 health points)
and like is said before; AR costs 700ish gold, while DP costs 1 ZG and 1 AQ20 run.
(used http://www.wowwiki.com for the formulas)
warlocks can turn health into mana and everyone thinks that a warlock's primary stat is stamina. its not about having a large health pool, lifetapping is only effective if you have some means of recovering the health you lose. sure, stamina helps warlocks live longer, but that goes the same for every other class. i wouldn't want that dagger on my warlock because it only has +13 spell damage. i'd rather have a dagger with only 5 stamina and +20 spell damage instead.
i don't mind people thinking that a warlock needs a ton of stamina, it makes it easier to get pvp gear.
But I do agree. These weapon rewards are very good. My priest loved the hammer till she got Venoxis's blade and my rogue loves the slicer.
Also, I was revered with Cen Circle when I turned it in, and there was no followup.

Goodbye Allakhazam, we will miss you
Otherwise, you might consider the Poker since it is darn close and slightly better than a Bone Slicing Hatchet (for those hunters out there). Or the sword if you don't have lightning reflexes.

this is the new and even better "Barman Shanker", and it's also very easy to get. :D
