How to Obtain Quel'Serrar

To obtain Quel'Serrar, players must complete a multi-step quest that starts with finding Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying, a rare book that triggers the quest The Forging of Quel'Serrar. The process requires navigating through Dire Maul, facing off against Onyxia, and successfully tempering the sword in dragon fire.

If you need additional materials, resist gear, or consumables for the quest, investing in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold can make the journey smoother by allowing you to purchase necessary supplies from the auction house.

Step-by-Step Guide to Acquiring Quel'Serrar

Step 1: Finding Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying

The first and most time-consuming step is obtaining Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying. This book is a rare drop found in Dire Maul and can appear in:

    Treasure chests in the Capital Gardens area of Dire Maul.

    Drops from bosses such as Alzzin the Wildshaper in Dire Maul East.

Since the book has a low drop rate, you may need to run Dire Maul multiple times. Bringing a Rogue (or someone with the Pick Lock ability) will help access locked chests that might contain the book.

Step 2: Turning in the Book

Once you acquire the book, take it to Lorekeeper Lydros in the Dire Maul Library. He will give you the quest The Forging of Quel'Serrar, which is the next step in obtaining the legendary sword.

Step 3: Preparing for Onyxia's Lair

Before heading to Onyxia's Lair, ensure you are well-prepared:

    Equip fire resistance gear, as Onyxia's breath attacks can deal massive damage.

    Bring a raid group capable of defeating Onyxia.

    Obtain the Unfired Ancient Blade from Lorekeeper Lydros—this will be used during the fight to temper Quel'Serrar.

If you're struggling to gather the necessary gear, you can use WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold to purchase fire resistance potions, armor, or buffs to make the encounter easier.

Step 4: Forging the Blade in Onyxia's Fire

During the fight against Onyxia, the player carrying the Unfired Ancient Blade must expose it to Onyxia's breath attack to temper it. Here's how to do it correctly:

    Stand in front of Onyxia during her Deep Breath attack while holding the Unfired Ancient Blade.

    Ensure healers are ready to keep you alive during this phase.

    Once the blade has been tempered, defeat Onyxia and loot her lair.

Step 5: Completing the Quest

After successfully tempering the blade and defeating Onyxia, return to Lorekeeper Lydros in Dire Maul. Hand in the Tempered Blade, and you will be rewarded with the legendary Quel'Serrar.

Strategies for Defeating Key Bosses

Since acquiring Quel'Serrar requires fighting tough bosses in Dire Maul and Onyxia's Lair, here are some tips to ensure victory.

Dire Maul Bosses

    Clear trash mobs carefully to avoid accidental pulls.

    Alzzin the Wildshaper, one of the possible book-dropping bosses, can shift forms during the fight. Use crowd control and dispels to make the encounter easier.

    If you're struggling, consider using a Classic Fresh boost service to help speed up the process.

Onyxia's Lair

    Phase 1: The main tank should position Onyxia properly to minimize cleave damage to the raid.

    Phase 2: When Onyxia takes flight, the raid must focus on handling the whelps that spawn while avoiding her Deep Breath attack.

    Phase 3: Maintain positioning and burn Onyxia down while managing fears and tail swipes.

For the blade tempering process, the designated player must stand in front of Onyxia at the right time to expose the blade to her breath attack. This requires precise coordination with the raid.
