Home > > WoW 4.2 PTR: Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
The first Cataclysm legendary staff is being implemented with the 4.2 Patch along with The Firelands raid zone. Almost everything about the staff is known at the moment.
The first and most important part about the staff is its staging.
The staff itself, will have three stages. You can pick the quest in any major city, but as a prerequisite, you have to kill the first raiding tier of Cataclysm: Cho'gall / Nefarian on at least, normal mode.
Stage one is named Branch of Nordrassil. It requires you, to collect 25 parts of Living Ember, which is the crafting material or the new Primordial Saronite if you want. You need to buy 3x Sands of Time which are needed to craft the dragon alchemy transformation mount, so that will cost you 9,000 gold.
This is the second stage of the staff called Runestaff of Nordrassil. It isn't really hard to complete. You just do some RolePlay in Nexus and after that you have to collect 25 Seething Cinders from Firelands, similar to Shadowmourne shards. If you complete that quest, you will be awarded the Runestaff of Nordrassil.
This is the last and final stage named Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest. For this staff you need to put an end to Ragnaros once and for all and loot his Heart of Flame. Then, you visit a capital, witness some RP and receive your highly-anticipated staff afterward.
All phases have different stats. In the following three screenshots you can see them.
