Everyone's heard of epic items - those purple colored goodies that fetch absurdly high prices on the auction
house. Epic items may be obtained from random world drops (if you're very, very lucky!), crafted items (the
recipes will either be rare drops or require faction grinding to obtain, and the required materials to be
time-consuming and difficult to acquire), or drops in raid dungeons like Zul'Gurub, Molten Core and Blackwing
Lair. However, more rare and desirable than even the best epic item is the legendary item - only two of these
orange colored items are known to exist in Azeroth - Sulfuras, Hand of
Ragnaros and Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker.
Acquiring these items is a task in itself - both require two very rare drops from Molten Core, as well as having long
quests and materials involved in their creation. However, there are rumors of a third legendary item known as the
Ashbringer.Just because no one has ever acquired an Ashbringer is not proof to some that it does not exist, and Blizzard has left just enough clues in the game to keep players searching. One of the Shen'dralar in Dire Maul mentions the Ashbringer, with hints that Prince Tortheldrin knows more, and might be willing to tell of it. A new NPC involved with the Ahn'Qiraj scepter quest, Narain Soothfancy, mentions the Ashbringer as well. But is it a real item, or merely legendary itself? Well, you'll have to read up on the rumors and decide for yourself. First, check out this old thread about a possible quest item, Timolain's Phylactery. Then, there's a more recent rumor by someone claiming to have found a quest chain leading to the Ashbringer. Only time will tell whether this is real or just a hoax.

So, looks very, more of a pally item than a warrior, although some noob looking gnome on allakhazam said it WASN'T in ANY way a pally item, so i brand him "NOOB"

Thunderfury is linked to Ragnaros. It's deliciously linked here:

More Legendary (Orange) items drop in AQ, including an instant cast mount (only for someone who rang the gong during the 10 hours the war was happening), and a few other tasties. :)
