INTRODUCTION

Hello everyone and welcome to another InstantCarry blog post. In this post we will cover the Season of Discovery Phase 8, specifically the Legendary Ashbringer and how to get it. As Season of Discovery Phase 8 rolls out, World of Warcraft players are in for an exciting journey to acquire the Legendary Ashbringer. Thanks to some detailed datamining, we now have a glimpse of how this iconic weapon will return, and we can speculate on the process involved in its acquisition. Let’s walk through the steps you’ll likely need to take to claim the Legendary Ashbringer!

1. The Fate of the Corrupted Ashbringer

After the defeat of the Four Horsemen in Naxxramas, the Corrupted Ashbringer was left behind. In Season of Discovery Phase 8, an NPC named Caldoran (who helped us empower the Naxxramas bosses) has been found wielding the corrupted blade. He now claims that the blade always belonged to the Scarlet Crusade and seeks our help to reclaim the Scarlet Enclave. However, by the latest development, Caldoran has lost the blade but is sporting some cool updated armor. This leads us to the first key datamined item: the Corrupted Emblem.

2. Confronting Caldoran and the Ashbringer’s Destruction

The Corrupted Emblem begins a questline that seems to involve defeating Caldoran, with the Ashbringer being destroyed in the process. Along the way, we’ve also uncovered the non-corrupted Emblem of the Ashbringer and Hilt of the Ashbringer. These items are likely to be tied to the quest where the Hilt transforms into an equipable item after starting the questline. The Emblem hints at an item called the Lightforged Steel Billet, but this item hasn’t yet been fully datamined.

3. Seeking the Craftsman

Additionally, some datamined items labeled as Legendary have a clear connection to the Light, such as:

The Stoneshaper’s Notes were also found, suggesting that we’ll need to seek out a craftsman who can help us reforge the Ashbringer. These items all point toward a quest where we’ll combine various components of the blade to forge the Reforged Blade of the Ashbringer.

4. The Inert Ashbringer

By the time we manage to reforge the blade, it will likely be a simple Inert Ashbringer, as indicated by its on-use effect: “Attempt to make contact with the Will of The Ashbringer.” This might be the point in the questline where the blade’s essence calls for help, and the next step could involve seeking out Thisalee Crow, a druid known from Cataclysm and Retail players.

5. Mount Hyjal and the Well of Eternity

In Phase 8, it seems we will venture to Mount Hyjal, where Thisalee Crow will assist us in our journey. We’ve also discovered an updated Inert Ashbringer item with an on-use effect: “Use the ancient flames created from the branches of Nordrassil to heat the blade.” Nordrassil is the great World Tree on Mount Hyjal, where Archimonde was defeated. After heating the blade, we’ll quench it in the Well of Eternity, receiving the Tempered Blade.

While it’s possible this is a typo and we’re meant to use the waters of Nordrassil, it would be much more exciting if we traveled to the Well of Eternity, a location associated with significant magical powers, though it was previously destroyed in the Great Sundering. This leads to an intriguing possibility of time travel, potentially involving Nozdormu, the Aspect of Time.

6. Restoring the Ashbringer

After quenching the blade in the Well (or waters of Nordrassil), we’ll receive the Tempered Blade. We will then attempt to make contact with the Will of The Ashbringer again. The key datamined item at this stage is Thisalee’s Whistle, which states it attempts to contact the disembodied voice of The Ashbringer. This could mark the moment the Ashbringer is re-sanctified, with the voice possibly guiding us toward restoring its full power.

7. Cleansed or Corrupted?

One of the biggest questions surrounding this process is whether the final Ashbringer will be the cleansed or corrupted version of the blade. Currently, the datamined cleansed Ashbringer appears to be less powerful than the corrupted Ashbringer version, but it’s still unclear whether the blade will be cleansed during the quest or if we will retain the corrupted version for its power.

CONCLUSION

The quest to reclaim the Legendary Ashbringer in Season of Discovery Phase 8 promises to be an exciting journey filled with powerful lore, time travel, and crafting. With potential twists ahead, including the choice between the cleansed or corrupted Ashbringer, players can expect a thrilling experience as they journey through Azeroth’s past and present to restore one of the most iconic weapons in World of Warcraft.
