How to get Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros
To get your hands on this legendary mace, you must obtain the Eye of Sulfuras and then combine it with the Sulfuron Hammer. Here is how to find these two items.
Sulfuron Hammer
To get Sulfuron Hammer, you must have Blacksmithing at skill level 300 and get Plans: Sulfuron Hammer. If you plan to craft this weapon without any knowledge of this profession, we recommend you find a player who is skillful enough to do it.
To save you time, it is also worth noting that Plans: Sulfuron Hammer is not bound when one picks it up, which means you can purchase it at the Auction House. The price is unfortunately unknown, as it depends on your server, but if it is available for sale and you have enough Gold, catch this opportunity.
How to get Plans: Sulfuron Hammer
To get Plans: Sulfuron Hammer, you must acquire Sulfuron Ingot, which drops from Golemagg the Incinerator, the seventh boss of the Molten Core raid. The drop rate is around 33%, so keep in mind you will not obtain it from the first run.
Upon getting this Sulfuron Ingot, find Lokhtos Darkbargainer, located in the Grim Guzzler, deep within the Blackrock Depths dungeon. This NPC is a vendor selling multiple recipes, formulas, plans, and patterns, but if you interact with him, Lokhtos will offer you a quest called A Binding Contract. Requirements are simple: once you share the Sulfuron Ingot with him, he will give you Plans: Sulfuron Hammer in return.
How to craft Sulfuron Hammer
Once you have acquired the Plans, it is time to get the following materials required for crafting the Hammer:
- 8x Sulfuron Ingot: It drops from the Golemagg the Incinerator boss
- 20x Dark Iron Bar: It is crafted by Miners by having 8x Dark Iron Ore and Classic Mining at skill level 300
- 50x Arcanite Bar: It can be transmuted by a player having Alchemy at skill level 275 and 1x Thorium Bar and 1x Arcane Crystal
- 25x Essence of Fire: It may be dropped by Blackrock Depths and Molten Core mobs. Also, if you have your Alchemy at skill level 275, you can transmute it by having 1x Essence of Air
- 10x Blood of the Mountain: It is dropped from a Molten Destroyer in the Molten Core raid or mined from Dark Iron Deposits
- 10x Lava Core: It is dropped by the Golemagg the Incinerator, and Garr bosses or other Elites in the Molten Core raid. Pix Xizzix also sells it for 15 Tarnished Undermine Real.
- 10x Fiery Core: It is dropped by Baron Geddon and other Elites in the Molten Core raid. Pix Xizzix also sells it for 15 Tarnished Undermine Real.
After collecting all the required materials, head to the Black Anvil in Blackrock Depths to craft the Sulfuron Hammer if your Blacksmithing skill is at level 300. Alternatively, you can meet up with a friend who is a Blacksmith and have them craft the weapon for you. Keep in mind that Lord Incendius guards the Black Anvil, so you may need assistance to clear the way.
How to get Eye of Sulfuras
To get it, you must head to the Molten Core raid and triumph over Ragnaros, the final tenth boss. Once overcome, you may find the Eye, but keep in mind that its drop rate is around 7%, meaning there is a high chance you must run this raid multiple times to obtain this item eventually.
Aside from that, getting this item is particularly challenging due to the intense competition, and the odds decrease when dealing with random players. Plus, in raid guilds, it is usually predetermined which player will receive this legendary weapon, so keep this fact in mind.
