World of Warcraft Classic has a ton of rare items that you’re unlikely to WOW Classic Gold see unless you’re very lucky. And by lucky I mean you can farm these items for months on end without being able to acquire them. And yet, that’s exactly why so many players go out of their way to try and get their hands on them.
If you’re one of those players, you came to the right place because we’ve put together a list of the rarest WoW Classic items, complete with their location and drop chance (where applicable).
Most of the rarest items and World of Warcraft Classic are weapons and other pieces of gear. But since some of those aren’t very useful unless you’re playing a certain class or spec, we figured we should spice things up by also adding a few rare mounts and some other interesting items into the mix. That way, you can be sure that you’ll find a little something for everybody here.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the top 10 rarest items in World of Warcraft Classic.
Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
You know it, you love it, but you’re probably also sick of hearing about it. We’re of course talking about Thunderfury.
Unlike all the other entries on our list, Thunderfury doesn’t drop from anywhere and instead needs to be crafted by the player. WoW Classic players have a much deeper knowledge of the game compared to Vanilla players, which is why these days the weapon isn’t quite as rare as it used to be. Hence, why it’s only at number 10 on our list. However, this is still a very rare item nevertheless and arguably the most sought-after of the rarest items in World of Warcraft Classic given the extreme amount of effort needed to craft it.
Swift Zulian Tiger
If you’re coming to WoW Classic after first playing retail you’re probably going to be shocked by the low amount of mounts available in the game. Class mounts aside, there is only a small handful that you can collect from other sources. A portion of those can be used exclusively in Ahn’Qiraj. The others are all very rare, including the iconic Swift Zulian Tiger.
This mount comes from High Priest Thekal in Zul’Gurub and has about a 0.6% chance to drop. That may seem pretty low but it’s actually not too bad compared to the remaining items on our list.
This extremely powerful formula drops from multiple sources so it may not seem that rare compared to other items. However, all those sources are bosses inside Molten Core, and defeating them requires you to go in with a pretty decent party. Figuring out the exact drop chance for this one is a bit tricky but it’s believed to be anywhere between 0.2% and 0.8%. Add to that the fact that you’re probably in a full 40-man raid with a lot of people that need it if it does happen to drop, and it’s easy to see why this is one of the rarest items in World of Warcraft Classic.
Ironfoe is an epic one-handed mace that drops from Emperor Dagran Thaurissan in Blackrock Depths. Defeating the boss isn’t particularly difficult if you’re going in with a good party. However, BRD is one of the longest and most tedious dungeons ever created by Blizzard, and farming is a true test of patience. It can be worth it, though, as the mace has a very powerful effect that gives it a chance on hit to grant two extra attacks on your next swing. Unfortunately, the drop chance buy WOW Classic Gold is estimated to be between 0.18% and 0.59%, so getting this mace requires a lot of luck.
