The Forging of Quel'Serrar

You must get Onyxia to breathe fire on the Unfired Ancient Blade. Once this is done, pick up the now Heated Ancient Blade. Be warned, a Heated Ancient Blade will not remain heated forever - time is of the essence.

The last step before returning to me is to slay the beast and drive the Heated Ancient Blade into her corpse.

Do this and Quel'Serrar will be yours.

	Treated Ancient Blade

Provided Item:

	Unfired Ancient Blade

Description

Take the unfired ancient blade to the lair of Onyxia and engage her in battle.

Some trickery must be utilized for the heating of the blade. While in combat, she will surely try to incinerate you with her fiery breath. You must plant the unfired ancient blade nearby and hope that the fiery breath heats the blade. If you live beyond this, pick up the now heated ancient blade and finish off the dragon.

Plunge the heated ancient blade into her smoldering corpse to fashion the treated ancient blade.

10% - 15% is the perfect time to run in and drop the sword at the feet of the MT. Make sure you let your MT and raid leader know that you are going to do this in advance though :)

Once she is dead, grab the sword and drive it into her before the 25 min timer is up. Once you do this, you can take your time in returning it to the DM Library. (Some people thing you need to get back to DM within the 25 min - this is not true, you can take a long as you like)

BTW:
-Put Sword Down
-Have her "breath on it" so it becomes heating.
-Pick it up (Bit of a pain with the fears)
-After she dies, click on her body then "use" the sword.

More instructions here:
http://wow.rpgbeacon.com/quest.php?ID=2706

Basically, while fighting Onyxia, "drop" the sword between the MT and Onyxia and let her breath on it. After she breaths on it and its heated, you have 20 minutes to kill Onyxia (so don't drop the sword until she is around 10%).

After, loot the Treated Ancient Blade from her corpse.

If you fail, you need to "fail the quest" and go back to DM to get it again.

In the heat of the moment you may get excited in phase 3 of Onyxia about placing down your sword, but keep in mind, she can still breath on/and own you. If you don't get a battle res before she's dead then you're waiting another reset.

One of the posters hit it on the head. This sword may have others that best it in DPS - i dunno cause I dont have every item in game memorized ... However the point is the getting - the fighting - the questing - the raiding - the people that worked on it all with you to make it possible. I think that what happened was Blizz either fired the guy that wrote this quest line or allowed him to quit before they did any of the other higher level quests - This truely was a fine adventure with a reward that matched it and many fine memories of friends helpin all over the world - Thanks Esp ti Pistachio - 60 Druid - Malygos :D

We got three swords yesterday, cause three people had the quest from the book from Dire Maul.

One was mine, of course :)

Soo.... Lucky to get the quest, and heading to beat up Onyxia...

What happens if you fail the heating process? - Such as wiping when you have put down the blade, or failing to kill her within the time limit?

Yes... I will put down the sword at 10% onyxia health, but heard its fairly easy to wipe even then...

I got the book last night and was told by Knights of Aszunes MT thatwhen onyxia is at 10% health you should put the sword right by the MT, and when she dies you take the sword out of the ground and place it in onyxia. Then u take it back to the atheneun and he gives u sword. (note: when u put the sword in the ground you have 25min to stick it in onyxia so wait till the end of fight where you no you will have enough time.)

Last night in Dire Maul: West this dropped for me off of the Hunter named. Odd...I only went in last night to get the Timeworn Mace (which I got as well).

First time in Onyxia's Lair was just before this, and I'm MT...So I have a lot to work on I assume!

I got this quest in a pug with a friend of mine from Kings Ex.Ive been farming with him a couple of times now.We run a 12 min dash threw dire west and then start again.This drops for me less then 10 mins into the run.I didnt even know what i had got.The book sells for 800-2000 Gold on Bleeding Hollow.I as MT for Burn Boys did deside that my Epic mount could wait and that i would not sell the book.Ive done some reading on this quest and cant wait to get to Onyxia.I for one will not buy my way into a great guild run as some others have done.I myself as guild master of Burn Boys would rather think my Exp speaks for itself.If i cant get asked into a group for a run then i will just wait for my own guild to get built up anough for this quest to be finished.Either way im looking so forward to the reward at the end of this quest.Looks like its going to be a hell of a ride.Congratz to all of you that hold this fine PIECE.I cant wait to join your group.

If you are not able to kill onyxia after you lay down the sword (and she does breath on it), are you able to try a second time?

Finally got this book after 5 months of Dire Maul farming, and not even from Dire Maul. A guildie got it COD'd to him for a reasonable price and I managed to dig up enough gold for it :-P

Kinda sick of doing Dire Maul anyway, since the 1.8 patch there has been no music :-(

Or was that 1.7...

My friend sent it in the mail to me since he was quiting WoW, i wasn't one to reject. My friend took me to DM Library. Started the quest and right clicked the blade to test it, it just stuck in the ground. Abandondoned quest (Accepted Again After) and HS to SW. Pressed /who Onyxia's . 3rd best guild on the sever was in so i asked and got an inv. Dropped the blade at 15% , nuked like hell and she died. Stabbed sword into her and done. Returned to DM and took crus mats with me, Enchanted it when i recieved it. It's been at my side for 2 months now . Looks good and gets a lot of compliments. No complaints at all , waiting for a better wep to appear and still havnt found one. Good Luck all who want this. Happy New Year Too ^^

You get an epic book drop off of Guard Mol'Dar in Dire Maul.

Turn the book into Atheneus where you get this quest. I got it today on Mal'Ganis.

I wouldn't replace this sword for anything short of a great naxx weapon. Some warriors take weapons like maladef and CTS but really those should be saved for DW warriors and rogues.
