WoW Forever Paladin Weapon Quest Guide

Undead Paladins are new in WoW Forever, and they get a class weapon quest of their own. At level 18 the chain starts in Bandarion Keep in Tirisfal Glades, pulls you into a rescue on Fenris Isle, sends you through three dungeons for materials and ends with Old Fire-Eye, an elite worgen that cannot be hurt by ordinary weapons. The reward is Wolfsbane, an item level 31 two-handed sword with +9 Stamina, +10 Intellect and a Holy proc that hits wolves and worgen three times as hard. Alliance Paladins still do the Classic chain from Jordan Stilwell for Verigan's Fist, which picked up a new proc of its own during the beta.

Below you will find every step for both factions with coordinates, where each material drops, how to beat Old Fire-Eye at level 20, and how Wolfsbane compares with Verigan's Fist. Everything is checked against the beta build of October 15, 2026.

Paladin Weapon Quest at a Glance

Both chains open at level 20 and give an item level 31 two-hander, roughly ten levels ahead of anything that drops around you. The Horde chain is longer because it adds a story part in Silverpine Forest and an elite fight at the end, while the Alliance chain adds an escort-style defense in Westfall and an extra trip to Loch Modan. Here is how the two compare:

Horde: How to Get Wolfsbane

The Horde chain has 13 quests plus one side quest for the Kor Gem. Most of them are short talks, so the time goes into three dungeon runs, the travel between two continents and the final fight. Pick up each quest before you leave for the next zone, because the materials are quest items that only drop while the quest is in your log. The table shows the full order:

Step 1: Diplomatic Incident in Bandarion Keep

Bandarion Keep is the new Undead Paladin area in the west of Tirisfal Glades, north of the lake. Once you reach level 18, Danitha Morr gives you Diplomatic Incident: two envoys of the Earthen Ring have gone missing in Silverpine Forest on their way to Tarren Mill, and the Forsaken Paladins want to prove their worth by finding them. Travel south to The Sepulcher and speak with Trevan Rol in the crypt.

Step 2: Fenris Isle and the Rescue of Lumina Windsinger

Trevan sends you to Deathguard Baldren at the entrance of The Sepulcher (A Curious Pair), who saw gnolls burn a large body on Fenris Isle (A Grim Fate). Swim east to the island and click the Charred Remains on the shore: the body is a tauren, but there is no sign of the elf. Into Fenris Keep then sends you into the cellar of Fenris Keep, where Lumina Windsinger, a Skyborne of the Windshapers, is locked in a cage.

For Lumina Windsinger you kill Rot Hide Gnolls in the keep until one drops the Fenris Isle Key, then use it on the cage. The Windshaper's Wrath is an escort: Lumina walks out of the keep and down to the landing while new gnolls attack, and she must survive the trip. Fenris Keep is crowded and respawns fast, so take a friend or two if you can. The Lumina Windsinger quest can be shared, which helps when several Paladins go together.

Back in The Sepulcher, Lumina tells you in The Debt what really happened: a worgen attacked them on the road, and her companion Banon was bitten and turned before the gnolls caught them. She wants the beast that doomed him dead.

Step 3: A Moon-Kissed Blade, the Three Dungeon Materials

Lumina Windsinger gives you A Moon-Kissed Blade, and Trevan Rol hands you Trevan's Weapon Notes with the list of materials. Keep the notes in your bags until the end of the chain. You need three items, and you can collect them in any order:

• Whitestone Oak Lumber from the Goblin Woodcarvers in The Deadmines. They work in the lumber mill area around Sneed. Not every woodcarver drops it, but there are many of them, so one run is usually enough for several Paladins.
• Enchanted Silver Ingot on a table among the clutter in Archmage Arugal's room at the end of Shadowfang Keep. Kill Arugal and click it.
• Purified Kor Gem from Ulric Frostveil in Ashenvale. First take Seeking the Kor Gem from him, then kill naga at the Blackfathom Deeps entrance for a Corrupted Kor Gem and bring it back. He purifies it for you.

The most efficient route for the Horde starts with the zeppelin from Brill to Grom'gol Base Camp in Stranglethorn Vale. From there, swim north along the coast to Westfall and walk to the mine entrance in Moonbrook. Every Deadmines quest is Alliance-only, so ask your group to clear to Sneed and the woodcarvers, and expect Alliance players along the way on PvP realms.

Everything about the dungeon route, the bosses and the loot is in our WoW Forever Deadmines guide.

Shadowfang Keep is the Horde's home dungeon and the hardest of the three at level 20. Archmage Arugal teleports around the room and drops his threat after each teleport, so stop attacking until the tank picks him up again, and break line of sight around the corners to dodge his Void Bolts. The ingot is on a table in his room once he is dead. For the full route and boss tactics, read our WoW Forever Shadowfang Keep guide.

For the Kor Gem, travel to the Crossroads in The Barrens, run north into Ashenvale and grab the Splintertree Post flight path on the way. Ulric Frostveil waits at Zoram'gar Outpost on the western coast. The Blackfathom Tide Priestesss and Blackfathom Oracles that drop the gem stand outside the dungeon, around the ruins at the entrance, so you do not have to zone in. Seeking the Kor Gem can be shared, but the gem does not drop for everyone in the group from the same kill.

If you want to run the dungeon itself on the same trip, our WoW Forever Blackfathom Deeps guide covers the bosses and the quests inside.

Step 4: Ott Forges the Moonsilver Blade in Tarren Mill

Return to Trevan Rol with the three materials. He sends you to Ott, an orc weaponsmith in Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad Foothills whose plain blades surprised even the smiths of Undercity (An Underrated Talent). Ott takes the Bundle of Blacksmithing Materials, walks to his anvil and forges your blade while you watch (Ott's Masterwork). If you do not have the Tarren Mill flight path yet, follow the road east from The Sepulcher into Hillsbrad Foothills and turn north to the town.

Bring Ott's Masterwork back to Trevan in The Moonsilver Blade. He inspects it and rewards you with the Moonsilver Blade: item level 31, 57 to 86 damage at speed 3.40, +7 Stamina and +7 Intellect. It is already a good weapon at level 20, and its proc is the key to the last fight.

Step 5: Old Fire-Eye and the Wolfsbane Reward

Speak with Lumina Windsinger for Old Fire-Eye, the last quest of the chain. Old Fire-Eye hunts in a large area south of The Sepulcher and is usually found near the gates to Gilneas, at the Greymane Wall around 49.7, 87.9. Kill him with the Moonsilver Blade equipped, return to Lumina, and she infuses the blade with the magic of her people. The result is Wolfsbane, plus 2,650 experience and reputation with Undercity, Orgrimmar and the Earthen Ring.

How to Beat Old Fire-Eye

Old Fire-Eye is a level 25 elite worgen, five levels above the Paladin who usually fights him. He is protected by an aura of unnatural resilience that keeps him from taking damage, which players on the beta saw as a purple barrier around him. The Moonsilver Blade is the answer. Its proc burns the aura away, and the debuff it leaves makes him take double damage from Holy attacks and spells.

These steps make the fight much easier:

1. Train Two-Handed Swords before the fight. The Moonsilver Blade is a two-handed sword, and a low weapon skill means misses and glancing blows against a level 25 target. The weapon master Archibald in Undercity teaches it.
2. Equip the blade before you pull and keep hitting until you see the message that the aura is burned away in holy fire. From then on your damage counts.
3. Lean on Holy damage while the debuff is up. Judgement, Holy Strike and Consecration all deal Holy damage, and on the beta Judgement hit him for around 150 at level 20.
4. Keep Lay on Hands and Divine Protection for the moment your health drops, because his hits get dangerous for a level 20 Paladin.
5. Bring another Paladin if you can. Everyone in the party with the quest gets credit for the kill, so two or three Paladins can finish it together.

Players on the beta did solo him at level 20, but it is slow and painful without full weapon skill. If someone has just killed him, wait for the respawn near the wall. It is a good idea to do the fight at 22 to 24 if you are not in a hurry.

Alliance: How to Get Verigan's Fist

Human and Dwarf Paladins get the Classic chain, with the same quest givers and the same steps. It starts with your Paladin trainer at level 20 and ends in Dun Morogh, where Jordan Stilwell forges Verigan's Fist for you.

The Tome of Valor: Defend Daphne Stilwell

The Tome of Valor sends you to Duthorian Rall in the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City (39.9, 30.5). He gives you The Tome of Valor, which leads to Daphne Stilwell in a small house at the end of Westfall's Longshore (42.2, 88.4).

In The Tome of Valor the Defias attack the house in waves. Daphne fights with her gun, and the quest fails if either of you dies, so stay close to her and heal her when the waves arrive. Speak with her afterwards and bring the news back to Duthorian (The Tome of Valor). He teaches you Sense Undead and gives you Bastion of Stormwind, a shield.

The Test of Righteousness: Jordan's Materials

The Test of Righteousness takes you to Jordan Stilwell, who works outside the gates of Ironforge in Dun Morogh (52.5, 36.8). In The Test of Righteousness he gives you Jordan's Weapon Notes and asks for four items:

• Whitestone Oak Lumber from the Goblin Woodcarvers in The Deadmines, the same drop as for the Horde.
• Jordan's Refined Ore Shipment from Bailor Stonehand in Thelsamar, Loch Modan (36.0, 45.0). His quest Bailor's Ore Shipment sends you to the Mo'grosh Stronghold in the north-east of the loch, where Bailor's Ore waits among elite ogres (71.7, 21.5). Bring a friend: the quest is elite and can be shared.
• Jordan's Smithing Hammer in Shadowfang Keep. It is an object you click inside the dungeon, so you have to make the long trip to Silverpine Forest with a group.
• Purified Kor Gem from Tandaan Lightmane in Astranaar, Ashenvale (34.5, 49.8). Take Seeking the Kor Gem first, then kill the Blackfathom Tide Priestesss and Blackfathom Oracles at the Blackfathom Deeps entrance for a Corrupted Kor Gem.

Shadowfang Keep is the step that holds most Alliance Paladins back. Silverpine is deep in Horde territory, so plan the trip with a full group, or run Blackfathom Deeps and The Deadmines first and leave the hammer for last. Hand everything to Jordan, and in The Test of Righteousness he forges Verigan's Fist at his anvil.

Wolfsbane vs Verigan's Fist

The two rewards are built as mirror images. Both are item level 31, bind when picked up and deal almost exactly the same damage per second. Their procs deal the same 39 to 59 damage and triple it against different targets. The difference is in speed, top-end damage and stats:

Wolfsbane comes out slightly ahead for Retribution. It is the slower weapon with the higher top-end damage, which makes Seal of Command and Holy Strike hit harder, and its Stamina and Intellect are worth more to a leveling Paladin than Spirit. Its triple damage also fits the levels you get it at: wolves and worgen fill Silverpine Forest, Duskwood and Hillsbrad Foothills. Verigan's Fist puts most of its stats into Spirit, which helps mana between pulls, and its proc shines against elementals.

The Alliance mace got its proc in a beta update in early October, soon after the new Horde sword arrived with one. Without it, Verigan's Fist would have been clearly weaker. For talents that make the most of a slow two-hander, see our WoW Forever Paladin leveling guide.

If you would rather skip the grind to level 20 and go straight for your weapon, our WoW Forever leveling service gets your Paladin there.
