Fyr’alath Questline Hints
Blizzard has done a good job with encrypting anything related to the upcoming Legendary 2-Handed Axe Fyr’alath. However, it seems that one thing might have slipped through, highlighting a portion of the questline needed to acquire Fyr’alath!
These items showed up on the Patch 10.2 PTR today:
- Attuned Sophic Vellum – “This vellum details incantations that can guide shadowflame away from the weilder. Crafted in tandem with Master Enchantress Shalasar.”
- Attuned Rune of Shadowbinding – “A powerful rune that strengthens as it’s damaged. Crafted in tandem with Master Scribe Lydiara.”
- Attuned Glowspore Grip – “A Symbiotic Glowspore Grip ready for attunement with Fyr’alath.”
In a vacuum, these would be pretty innocuous, however, all 3 of them are named similarly and seem to reference three professions and one of them mentions ” with Fyr’alath” directly. Apart from the first one having spelling errors, the second not being Binds on Pickup and all of them being Epic, it’s clear these are a work-in-progress still, but they’re very likely related to the Legendary questline.
If true, this means that the professions needed for the Fyr’alath Legendary will be Leatherworking, Enchanting and Inscription.
These items will likely need to be crafted using a lot of expensive materials similar to the materials needed for the Evoker Legendary which are still pricy. Attuned Glowspore Grip specifically has “Glowspores” in the name, so it’s likely that we’ll see Zaralek Glowspores being part of the crafting cost.
In addition, it seems that two of these are crafted “in tandem” with the Profession Masters which may be move involved than the Evoker Legendary questline.
Fyr’alath Effect Speculation?
On Attuned Rune of Shadowbinding, it’s interesting to note that flavor text mentions “A powerful rune that strengthens as it’s damaged”. While this of course could be flavor text, could this actually be part of Fyr’alath’s special effect?
