To get this, you need to travel to Southshore and accept the quest from the female dwarf outside the cave to AV named "Prospector Stonehewer", she is on the east side of the entrace, outside the tent.

The quest does not say what the reward is, but after you win a game, (just being in the game when it is won is enough) you can go back to the dwarf and get your Ice Barbed Spear.

This quest has 4 weapons to choose from:

(If you dont need any of the weapons, choose this polearm anyway, it sells to vendor for 7 gold 33 silver 53 copper)

For a warrior, the best weapon pre MC, and ZG, thats blue of course. Great top end damage, and the stats would be good for a hunter as well.. of course.

Комментарий от 7343

Amazing hunter weapon, probably the best available weapon for a hunter until you hit level 60. Put 25 agility enchant on it.

Комментарий от 6934

Got this at 51 on my warrior, used it well into 60. With the new warrior talents (pole/axe 5% to crit all for the same 5 points) this item will be even more valuable. I suggest everyone get this as soon as possible unless as you level up.

Комментарий от mawx

This is quite the weapon for nearly all melee classes due to its high stat boosts and it has a high dmg range aswell so you can do some nice criticals :)
Easy to obtain aswell.

Комментарий от 7968

As many above have said. This is by far one of the better weapons in the game. It can be very useful in ZG/MC and yet still amazingly obtainable at level 51, and the only thing you have to do is win a game of AV! Great for Hunters, or Warriors and Paladins.

Комментарий от 7901

This is by far the greatest pre 60, and even 60 blues that are availiable. Not only will it give a melee class such as a warrior a great boost in their overall damage, for classes such as hunters and such who don't have twin dawn's edge's it provides a healthy amount of agi and great stats overall.

Easily obtainable at 51, all you have to do is win a AV.
Obtain the quest just outside the AV entrance in Hillsbrad Foothills. Alliance entrance is straight North of Southshore.
Horde Entrance is straight North of Tauren Mill.

Комментарий от 9525

This is a excellent free weapon for a paladin or a hunter,it also comes with a icy blue glow.

The best thing about this weapon is you only need to do one AV match to get it , you can obtain the quest from your factions AV entrances.

They are located in the Hillsbrad Foothills , it is north of Southshore for the alliance and north east of Tarren Mill for the horde.

Комментарий от 11253

Probably the best 2h weapon you can obtain before 60, and all you need to do is win a AV. The quest can be obtained outside the actual AV instance entrance in the Alterac Mountains.

Комментарий от nandoStar

As of patch 2.0.4 the quest is a level 60 one, so you can't get this at 51 anymore.

Комментарий от Crazytroll

Dinged 51 as a hunter in ZF and hearthed to org then got on zep, flew to Undercity and took a bat to tarren mill. Once there I walked just above the town to a cave where an orc gave me the quest to kill the main dwarf in AV. Entered AV got around 200 hks and killed the dwarf. Once out I turned in the quest and the orc said something along the lines of " Yes, you have tasted the blood of the alliance now I will give you an extrodinary weapon of your choice!" The choices were a mace (that i couldnt use),a wand (that i couldn't use), a crossbow, and the ice barb. At first I didn't know what to choose, the polearm or the crossbow. I decided to go with the polearm because the crossbow's speed was so terrible. Plus although hunter's melee is poor the +21 agility is a big help. Definently choose the polearm unless your ranged weapon is like the bow from WC or sumthin not good.

Комментарий от 33705

This weapon is good if you get it from 51-57 but now with TBC the rage reaver is much better for damage and stats and you can get it at 58

Sigh. I have been in AV for almost 40 times. And i have never tried to win. That is really depressing, Cause i just wanted the weapon.

Комментарий от 37129

I was very lucky and got this on my first attempt in AV, only taking about 20 minutes. I just put a +7 dmg enchant on it and I'm whoopin up! I have the feeling this one will last me until the OL.

Комментарий от 35664

excelent weapon for all classes that can use it. obtainable in Alterac Valley,usable till Outland weaponry

Комментарий от 41983

i used this weapon until 60 then i got blade of misfortune but if you have TBC then u can get rage reaver as ftb262 said and use that until you ding 60---hope i helped----
+has anyone put fiery weapon enchant on ice barbed spear+plz tell me if you have

Комментарий от Windseeker

Ok this wep is WAY better for arms warriors because you get just about the same damage with mortal strike as Rage rever but this wep has +12 strength, +20 stamina and +21 agility. rage rever only has +14 agil and +30 stamy and i dout that a tank pali or warrior is going to be using atwo hand wep so use ice babred spear untill like 61-62 then you can get a better drop in blackrock spire.

Комментарий от 44210

yeah, but if you ally on "Cyclone" BG you will never get this... im sry.. ^^

Комментарий от 58637

question as a hunter what would u take; the crossbow or this spear?

Комментарий от 29798

Take the Crossbow.

Комментарий от 60855

U should try getting Frenzied Striker,Flame Wrath or Hunting Spear

Комментарий от 61216

Please be aware that you can only get this weapon once. Multiple quests list this item as a reward, however only by completing one of the Hero quests will you be able to obtain this item. Just a heads up.

Комментарий от 6638

If you're a warrior, ret pally, or hunter you're really doing yourself a disservice if you don't go get this weapon at 51. Even if you're power levelling, just get in the AV queue and go grind NPCs while you're in there until your team wins. On my last warrior, that took 5 or 6 games, and I picked up two levels in the process, but the next 5 flew by quite a bit faster with what is essentially a "twink" 50's weapon.

It'll take you all the way up until you find something better in Outland (which happens pretty quick), and you won't find a drop or BOE in the early/mid 50's that can compete. Just get it.

Комментарий от Thorex

You can easly obtain this polearm at level 51 after completing a quest that a orc gives you in front of the entrance of AV in Alterac Mountains (63,59).

The only thing you have to do for this quest is win an AV battleground game.

Very nice polearm i had until i was 56 (which was a pretty long while at the time) :P

Enjoy!! :)

Комментарий от 43225

So far I've had about 10-15 games in this bracket (51-60) and Alliance hasn't even come close to winning a single one.

Your results may vary. This 'free' weapon is sure taking a long time to get.

Комментарий от viejo

I love this thing. Currently lvl 54 hunter BM spec. I have a few agility enchants, bringing my total agility to 222 ( 107 + 115 ). It regularly crits in the mid 500s on mobs same or higher level. If I'm farming say ... spider silk or something where mobs are grey, it crits in the mid 600s.

Was easy to get, too. First time I went into AV, I was lost bigtime. I followed some lvl 60s and got killed repeatedly. We lost. Second time, I stayed back from them a bit and helped out by keeping my pet on FurSeal mode and just using my Dark Iron Rifle with Sniper Scope. Until we got to the General, then I went all bestial and sent my boar in to stun the guy. We won. 2 games = best weapon I've used so far.

Комментарий от 68300

Hello m8´s!

I just wonder which lvl i must be too be aible to get the quest? Is it 51?

Комментарий от 17169

Guildy tells me I am better off levelling to 60 then getting Hellreaver in Ramparts rather than trying to win an AV as horde at level 51...i think I agree.

Комментарий от Jel251

For my hunter, I got the level 50 spear( my hunter quest) which to me is better then this one, and then got the crossbow. I think every hunter should do that.

Комментарий от 35479

kind of disapointed that all comments that say this are rated down, the crossbow is a great weapon to choose instead of this if that is what you need a bigger upgrade for as hunter

Комментарий от 67015

As a Warrior on a low-pop server who plays at night, I spend 90% of my time solo. I upgraded to the spear from my Ironshod Bludgeon (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=9408) and saw an immediate difference. Definately worth the effort bringing my polearms skill from 5 to 270.

Комментарий от 64199

Only winning one game sounds easy but it is not, on my lvl51 hunter he has done 22 AV games now and hasn't won a single one.

Комментарий от waxxyy

Witch one is better:

Iced Barbed Spear (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=19106) - with CRUSADER ENCHANT

or

Destiny (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=647#add-your-comment) - WITHOUT the CRUSADER ENCHAT

I'm with this question in my head, and I'm gathering money to buy the DESTINY in AH, but the ICED BARBED SPEAR is a quest reward, then I can spend the money that i'm saving for DESTINY to put the CRUSADER ENCHANT on it... so I don't know if I buy DESTINY and wait a long more to catch more money 4 CRUSADER CHANT, or get the ICED BARBED SPEAR and put the CRUSADER CHANT at the same time...

what u guys suggest ???

Комментарий от 68759

just got this as a lvl 51 dwarf hunter! about +0.8% critical and 200 HP! very good for hunter and it will be changed with blade of misfortune or hellreaver on lvl 60! so enchant it wisely! :) depends on ur money! dont enchant with icy though! i prefer either agility or fiery but its expensive for most of u! :)

Комментарий от Delaxart

I would rather take the Xbow as a hunter, but i guess its more about personal opnions than actual facts/reasons.

Now, i dont have own hunter over level 34, but i do know that both of these choices, the polearm and Xbow, will be replaced quicly after entering outlands. And journey from 51 to 58/60 isnt too hard, its just that most of hunter`s damage comes from s/hes ranged weapon, and such if you have weak ranged weapon, this should be the choice for you. In the other hand, if you want better melee-weapon to boost your already nice bow, go for polearm.

Id say that both are viable choices considering that you wont be using them more than maybe 9 levels. And when you finally get to outland, you can just upgrade both slots without having to choose between.

Комментарий от 84103

At level 53 (2.3 patch implemented), I first I got 14300 XP (+ 2g70s) as well as 250 reputation with Orgrimmar and Frostwolf Clan by completing the prequest, "The Battle for Alterac" (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=7142). To complete The Battle of Alterac, simply be on the winning side of an AV game. Upon completion of the prequest, "Hero of the Frostwolf" (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=8272) becomes available from which the Ice Barbed Spear is rewarded. You don't have to do anything except accepting it and then complete it. Hero of the Frostwolf also rewards 950 XP and 500 reputation with Orgrimmar and Frostwolf Clan. The amount of XP and rep might of course differ depending on level, but at 53, these are the current numbers.

well the big problem is to get this thing you have to win and 9 out of 10 times horde win as i have seen in all BG,i am lvl 58 now and bad luck for me is that i am still trying to win and get this Ice Barbed Spear . good luck to you all

Комментарий от 99191

Just got this with my 53 hunter. Had Grimlock's Charge before this and was wondering which was better. It seems that this is definitely better for a hunter the GC.

Комментарий от 111538

This is the best weapon you can get for nearly all melee classes. Good stats. Good damage. Slower the better in warriors case. You can use this till lvl 60. Its a MUST if you are ARMS warrior or ret pally. HEHE and BTW i got this on my first try. Alliance is good in AV nowadays.

Комментарий от thecomicrelief

Hunters take heed, the crossbow is a much better reward.

Reposted from my original post on the Bloodseeker page https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=19107

I advise any hunter to take Bloodseeker over Ice-Barbed.

Ice Barbed
21 Agi
20 Sta

Green level 51 Axe https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=15271
..of the monkey
16 Agi
16 Stam

So for a hunter, Ice Barbed beats an Auction House green by 5 agility and 4 stamina. Not worth giving up the best crossbow you are going to have pre-outlands (most likely). Take the bow.

Комментарий от 43743

actually, ever since patch 2.3 Grimlok's Charge ( https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=9416 ) is on par with this for hunters, and also available 11 levels earlier. get the crossbow.

It's good until you can get Rage Reaver from the first batch of Outland quests, Hellreaver out of Ramparts, or Blade of Misfortune off the AH.

Just recently I picked up Sul'Thraze on my Ret pally (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=9372) on my fourth ZF run at 45. Needless to say, I joined the swords and got it enchanted with Crusader all prepped and ready for when I dinged 50.

Then I saw a hunter in my guild running around with this...

What should I do? Hop in the AV queue and get this ASAP or just get to 60 (And outlands) with sul'thraze?

Комментарий от 100447

well...in real not the best choice for hunter at all.......hunters should take the crossbow from this q......this item hasnt so good stats.....u can use Grimlok's charge (Uldaman) until u reach any lvl 60+ weapon

Комментарий от llagrok

Surprisingly difficult to get a hold of, in a ^&*!ty alliance battlegroup.

TBC makes this useless though :/

Комментарий от Toryn

This weapon has been fantastic on my Ret Pally. Between a judged seal of the crusader, and SoC I could crit for over 1300 dmg on one swing at lvl 51/52 without any enchants.

I don't know why anyone would even consider Sul'Thraze over this.

Комментарий от 144967

true i got it at lvl 51 by wining my first AV match and its easely one of the best weapons for warriors or ret pallys before lvl 60

Комментарий от 17340

Ever since 2.3 this weapon has become almost unobtainable for alliance, as the changes to AV make winning impossible. Just to give you an idea how difficult, according to my marks of AV, I have gone 64 AVs without a win. I know that count is correct because had I won and gotten three badges, my quest would have been completed. So..just a thought alliance warriors might want to look elsewhere.

Комментарий от 152464

I will echo MoneyLoo's comments alliance suck on AV lvl's 51-60.

I have done about 20 BG's and lost every single one.......its clear horde have an advantage!

Dont even bother to attempt to try and get it as your wasting days, i prob wasted enough time to lvl to 55 + where you can get similar items e.g https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=22208 from BRD far better to do that 10 times and get all that exp. Prob 40+ a run plus drops.

Thats my opinion anyway.

PS im informed that AV is even 61-70 from a few lvl 70's in my guild.

Комментарий от Shivacode

Great weapon for a pally/warrior, can be obtained with relative ease depending on if your faction regularly wins 51-60 AV. On Vengeance it's about a 50/50 split.

Pick this up as soon as you hit 51 and you'll soar through your final levels leading up to Outland with ease. The quest also gives a nice chunk of XP as well, always a bonus.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I got this at level 52 and I love it, on average I'm doing about 40-50 more dmg/hit than with the Executioner's Axe and it hits a bit faster. I plan on using this until I can get the Arc Reaper. As for the quest being easy, during the last patch Blizzard made Korrak a little harder to kill, before you could fear kite him until he died just doing dots and such, now you really do need a raid party to get it done. Also I had to do at least 7 BGs matches before the Alliance controlled the battle well enough for a raid group to go after Korrak without the Horde causing problems. All-in-all for a MS war like myself, seeing crits go for ~800 dmg on a leather/cloth wearer in PvP is great. Even better is a 2800 crit with full rage and execute :) Loving this polearm but still can't wait to get my Arc Reaper because it ownz.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i just got mine at 52
This is sad, some Horde players on the server Kil'jaeden are just complete morons.
Here's the situation, we've been playing for 5 hours, and we're still in the middle, we got to their base once, but were pushed back. It's close to midnight and i have an 8 o'clock class the next morning. A group decides to kill korrak (i was not a part of this group) so about 15 players go to the field of strife and kill him. We were all in one full raid group, so when they killed him EVERYONE GOT CREDIT. soon as he died, the 25 players who were fighting the alliance all STOP FIGHTING and start &*!@#ing out the ppl who killed korrak. only about 10 ppl from my guild were still fighting the alliance. At that moment the Allys decide to attack en masse and decemate the horde forces, making it all the way to the frostwolf GY in about 10min. We lost the BG not because somebody killed korrak, but because a bunch of ppl made a big deal about it. It was so sad, it was almost comical. People who have this or something better are unwilling to help. Geez ppl, you aren't gonna lose an AV just becuase you take the time to kill korrak. you will make all the 51-55 players very happy. and make them more effective against higher lvl players.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

fury may be duel wield spec but when i get Enraged (when i get critted, enrage gives me 25% melee dmg increase), i get normal swing crits with IBS of 1.2k...

so when i walk around with IBS on my back and im using things like death wish and bloodthirst, i just tell them i can still do immense damage with a 2h :P

However my duel wielders do more dps than my 2h. Bloodrazor + crystal sword of the monkey.

IBS is good for all warrior specs.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I just hit 51 today and went to AV to get this bad boy. Luckily for me, the Horde on Stormscale have it together; I had no idea what I was doing, but our team dominated and now I have IBS to show for it.

My little Gnome got this at 52. I'm not sure what to say ... I've got a weapon about on par with a Blackhand Doomsaw a good 7 levels before I could even begin to hope to get in to a BRD raid and then it'd typically take dozens of trimes before I'd be likely to win a drop. The reward/effort ratio is simply stupidly good. I just shot a few ineffective gun shots at Korrak (less than 600 damage throughout the fight, woo!) while 10 or so people from my raid group of closer-to-60s did the work. Spent less than 30 minutes in the battleground, all in all.

I'm all for rewarding PvP & the tasks from the BGs and so on, but rewards should preferably correspond to effort. Here I twiddle my thumbs for a few minutes whilst at the right location and presto! I'm about as well-armed as a Warrior who spent days, even weeks, on getting himself a Doomsaw or Reaper. Maybe not precisely unfair - I'm following the rules of the game as they are, after all - but not terribly consistent and not very well thought-out.

At least making Korrak a challenge to take out, instead of a cakewalk for a handful of players who know what kiting is and how to do it, seems prudent. On the other hand, I've already abused his simplicity so me complaining is perhaps a tad hypocritical. Nevertheless, I feel got this thing way too easily.

Yeah Arc Reaper Ownz , thats why I went weaponsmith in the first place, but in the meantime I just hit 51 and trying to get the spear in BG is like I just killed everyones mother or something. The amount of hostility from Alliance players is amazing.

Im not just standing around letting the horde run rampant and doing nothing. I can see people not wanting to help but the amount of verbal abuse to me just asking if anyone was going after it was amazing.

I`ve this spear and i was wondering if enchantment looks work on it? I would like to have an 'unholy enchant' on it. Those heads turning around blue glow would certainly looks nice.

60 Paladin, I have this weapon and laugh at the Warriors who don't have it yet... The agility on it alone gives +2% crit and a nice armor boost, not to mention better dodge chance. I feel sorry for those that want the Arc Reaper. The buffs on this weapon are much better.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This is a must have for Hunters. Its one of the nicer items in WOW partly because of how easy the quest is for it, second the stats on it are great. If your a hunter I really do suggest they get it and score an agility enchant on it.

Sucks that an enchant doesnt over right the glow

I love the gold glow of +9 intel on my Barbarous Blade

Комментарий от Allakhazam

What was Blizzard thinking? How can they offer such a great weapon for a 30 minute quest? I spent weeks saving up my gold for my arcanite reaper and now I wish I spent it on my Epic mount.

Blizzard has done a decent job up to this point of keeping trade skills like master axesmith somewhat useful but now there will be little demand for those high priced weapons. They may as well just offer a 1-step, easy, 30 minute quest for an Epic mount and just screw all those players who saved up the 900 gold.

I can't believe how many peeps already have it. It will be the most popular level 50+ weapon in a matter of days.

First AV match with this toon and beat the alliance down in just under 2 hours. Once we took SH GY, half the alliance dropped and it was 23/12 for awhile. Just at the end, 5 more alliance joined up but it wasn't enough.

Looks like my Bonechewer with ice weapon on it.

One more level and I hit 51 and I'll head over to AV and see if I can get some people to help with this. Let's hope the horde on Arthas are nicer than what I've heard others getting from their own factions, putting them down for asking for help.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Actually, as member of the Alliance, I'm glad to see that the Horde are equally condesending about helping on this quest as the Alliance are...

Last night on Burning Legion the alliance were pushed to their last graveyard in Dun Baldr. I started organizing a raid group to go for Korrak. All the jerks that had finished the quest or had better items refused to help. Luckily, there were a lot of cool people who helped out and we were able to finish. I can't even use any of the items given (I'm a druid). Still, I felt helping fellow alliance get their items would help everyone out in the long run.

Also, I'm not sure about the whole which is better debate, IBS or reaper. I'm no warrior, but is the reaper really worth 800g more than a free weapon that you can get from an easy quest (provided you have ppl to help)? That's the big question. With all the epics that drop in the higher level instances, I think warriors might be better off using this thing till they can accumulate the DKP to get something better. Save your cash for an epic mount...just my honest opinion though. :)

Heres my story: i hit 51 earlier today and enthusiastically made my way to AV but first stopping in IF to pick up my Lord Alexander's Battle Axe. when i got into the BG i had no idea what to do but picked up on it quickly. we lost our first 2 games, but the 3rd looked promising. we took the offensive early and grabbed all the GYs on the way to Drek. it looked like a landslide, but noobs kept looting drek's dogs and someone kept running out of the keep when they aggroed drek himself reseting the bastard. that happened over 10 times, we would get him to 15-20% and someone would flee, all the while the horde regrouped and pushed to kill stormpike. 6 hours of futility and stupidity i cried for the first time in 4 years at the end. if i ever find the people who kept running out i WILL DESTROY THEM!

60 NE hunter on Zuluhed.

First 2 AV's we lost patheticly, i really wasnt to sure about what to do i just moved with the group and killed what i saw in red.

our 3rd and final AV it took 3 hours and 1 minute. before the cross relm pvp, we won.

just thought i'd like to share my story how blizz really does make your life a living hell for 1 item.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

can someone tell me where i get the quest starter for this on the horde side? thanks

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i can get Carapace Spine X-Bow from Stratholme instead.
I want this polearm, i love the looks of it. Screw Blood Seeker, this has lots of AGI and STA

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The reaper is still better guys(not cost wise as a reaper is very expensive). Ok this may be a FREE blue pretty much becuase it is so easy to obtain but look at compared to the reaper for a sec here.

Arcanite Reaper: 153-256 3.8 spd 62 attack power and 13 plus to stam

Ice barbed Spear: 155-233 3.6 spd 21 agl 13 str 20 stam

Ok now convert attack power to 31 str for warriors at least

Arcanite Reaper hits for more period. that .2 seconds is wasted time if you ask me and makes the spear crit for less. Ok so damage wise would you rather can a A) Doomsaw B) Reaper. If you answered Reaper then you will like reaper over this cause doomsaw and this do about the same amount of damage per hit (Spear hits for a little more). The one thing the spear has imo is the agl plus which is really nice to boost crit chance. However that Xbow (Кровоискатель that you also get from the quest gives a nice little boost as well to agl its passive with reaper. Not only that but xbow gives more str giving your reaper more damage. Reaper is better weapon. The spear is not that good for warriors if you ask me. If your lvl 51 then wow congrats on this nice weapon but if your 60 and have the cash go get a reaper or to MC and try to get the epic axe there.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

So, I'm a level 53 paladin, who, just earlier today, was @#$%^ing to his comrades that it was impossible to find a good weapon that didn't drop in strath or something. (At the time, I had the Warmonger, which just didn't suit me at all)

So, I get the idea to go do Battlegrounds and gain some quick XP. Found this quest and almost creamed myself. Managed to talk a group of 12 people into taking down Korrak. He's actually very easy once you get a rythm down (actually, I'd like to extend my sincerest hatred for the RETARDS out there who were not in the raid party and kept attacking him right as we were charging him -- thus, ruining the entire battle for us)

Just kite him. Let the hunters and makes slow him down, then come in and take pot shots at him. It's slow, but works well.

I immediately put a crusader enchant on this badboy, and for a level 53, I think I did very, very good getting this!

Edit: I'd just like to add that, with SoC and a raging agility stat, my best crit with this weapon so far has been over 2300. I think I could cry.

About a week after I turned 60 (/cheer) I was on my 2nd UBRS raid with my super sexy Ice Spear in tow and low and behold the coveted Doomsaw drops. Basicly everyone compared their wepons to the doomsaw and long story short we did a (gulp) GREED ROLL for it. That probibly would not have happened before this rediculouly easy to obtain very kick butt polarm. I am a hunter and I passed on the Xbow reward just because I knew that there are several very similar bows, guns and xbows out there that are fairly common drops. I was still using my Verdent Keepers aim for Mar Princess run untill I got the Carapace Spine Crossbow a week later. Pacience pays off because you will not get such a sexy and FREE 2 hander that just requires 30 minutes in BG.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Many warriors think this weapon is almost equal to the Arcanite Reaper, since the stats look good and I was of the same opinion for a long time.
But one day, I had nothing to do, so I spent my time farming arcanite for an Arcanite Reaper. After a week (I spent lots of time in Alterac Valley) I had all the mats and I whispered a blacksmith who could make it.
After some time improving my 2h axe skill up to 300, I discovered it's power. It's really amazing, and this item is just lousy crap compared to it. I think, the Arcanite Reaper was worth getting, and you can easily do some serious damage with it, like 1200 crits on cloth or leather wearers, and up to 2000 with 20 points in fury.
This weapon is still very nice, used it for a long time, so if you've lots of stuff to do, and if you don't have much time, get it, until you can afford an Arcanite Reaper or find another nice weapon in MC.

And btw, nice hunter wep.

The Stamina alone would make me want to take this weapon over Blackhand Doomsaw.
The Wound Proc from Doomsaw is nice.. but doesn't proc often enough to be better than the stats on this weapon.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

K, just got done with AV and went to go look for where I get this and can't find who I talk to to get it. Any help on where to get it?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Won my first game (surprising considering i thought it would take like 10 Due to the hordes Crappy AV Reputation on Kilrogg) And it Crits HARD (im Arms) highest is 1.2k+ so far on a Heroic strike crit =D i love it!

I'm planning to get thi sơon =)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I dinged 51 today and went straight to AV to get the wonderful Ice Barbed Spear. It took me 3 games before we killed Drek. So I grinded on rams and harpies, did a bunch of AV quests, and ended up getting level 52 in there. After the game, I ran and got my new toy. I think im going to put a savegry chant on it.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I got this today at 55 easy with about 12 of us. Pretty happy as I couldn't use a doomsaw for a couple of levels.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Tried getting this yesterday and couldn't find anyone with the quest for it, do you just have to win av and get it or do you need quest too because I dont think the quest is there any more

Комментарий от Allakhazam

OK so I got really lucky and some awesome people killed the guy in AV and I got this as a quest reward. Now I want to know what enchant to put on it. I'm a 51 Dwarf Warrior, Arms spec got MS and right now i'm sword proc spec... :-(

Ice Barbed Spear

Комментарий от Allakhazam

After I get this... I have to vendor my poor Warmonger with demonslaying enchant :*(
/cry
/bye

Комментарий от Allakhazam

To start, he's stunnable and fearable. These two alone means he's an easy win.

We had hunters pull him to the graveyard, and took him out (with minimal effort) with a raid of less than 10. The rogues would stun him whenever possible, I (a level 51 warrior at the time) would hit him a few times, and stand at a fair distance away, in case everyone dies so he won't deaggro. A level 60 warrior to tank would also be nice. The guards will help keep the Alliance (or Horde, if you prefer) at bay.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Where can i get this Quest? i want Iced Barbed Spear Really bad im a 51NE hunter and im currently using StoneRaven but this is much better i wanna know where i can get the quest plz plz some1 tell me or send me a email

Ran AV for the first time last night (I just hit 51). Match had already been going a couple of hours, I was in there about 2 hours before we won, ran out got the ice-barbed spear, and it's a damn fine weapon, I thought it was about time I upgraded me blade of titans

Комментарий от Allakhazam

from what ive read it seams like pretty easy, win one pvp round and you get your IBS...have never been to AV though so am I wrong?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Ive spent like 3 hours waiting to get into Alterac BG. Boo-urns

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This is a good weap. My warrior has cherished this, I love the max damage output on this spear, i won't let go of this for a while! Advice for AV, keep going at it. One day your side will win and then you'll notice after you've won the battle, you get this baby as a reward. Not bad hey!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

30 games... 30 GAMES. And not one win in AV, somedays, I just really hate Alliance.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

You get the quest outside the entrance to AV, which for the horde northeast of Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad and for the Alliance it is north of Southshore. Once you get the quest all you have to do is be on the winning team to get the reward.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I just did this quest yesterday with my 51 Alliance Warrior. i had read on here about going in at 51 riding around doing nothing... being on the winning team and getting ur Spear... i thought "no way" could it be that easy. Lolz, took 5 attempts for Alliance to win, but i walked out with about 1000 honor points, received 17500 XP! (6600 talking to the first guy, 9950 for Alliance winning Battle of Alterac and 950 for the reward) received 2 gold 70 silver... and of course the Ice Barbed Spear which has all the stats for a warrior esp. at level 51. Now just have to do a run thru the Stocks as i have no skill with Polearms

Комментарий от Allakhazam

is the IBS better for a holy pally or the Cold Forged Hammer?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Since my server sucks, I was wondering if someone could just spill the location of Korrak so a few of us can actually ORGANIZE and complete this quest. Any tips would also be appreciated. :)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

He spawns on the Field of Strife, and it really doesnt take TOO much to take him down, needed only about half of the full raid. Needless to say, I have one of these yummy spears, and it is very sexy, heres a pic of it:

Naturally glows blue =)

Me = happy panda =D

hehe half a raid to kill korrak? me and 6 others did it...no one else would help. Tip: just have a couple warlocks chain fear him while ppl dot and nuke him

Комментарий от Allakhazam

No one on my server is doing the BG, so I cant get one... )=

Комментарий от Allakhazam

it was a 9 hour game. i was there for a majority of it. kept reminding people to get Korrak and eventually after we pushed the AF past the final GY, we start attacking him. We got him down to 12% health and someone finished the game. All that time... for what?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

rofl, i'm so screwed..
it's going to be impossible for me to get this on my server (aggramar) because black rock pvp plays AV all day and they'll capwn any pug AV group :(

Комментарий от Allakhazam

What should i choose between an Arcanite Reaper and this ?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

so, this or teh xbow? im currently using gyphonwwing longbow, but ive heard so many people talk about how good BOTH of these are. amazing stats on polearm, which is why im leaning towards it, but also great damage with the xbow. someone plz help me, as i hit 51 today and really cant decide.

Got the polearm after 3 AV runs :D 2/3 I got DC and the last time we won! Now I've to train skills =_="

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This is the best 2h that most casual players will ever get. Its easy to get, 1 AV win forks it over, no rolling and no 40man raids. Its also better then any 2h in BRD/lbrs/ubrs/scholo/strat/etc.

The quest for it, is the quest that wants the enemy general dead inside AV, it does not list the reward, but after you do that quest, you can choose it.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

just got this baby on my 51 war (i'm ms so it's @#$%^in) im gonna get i nice little enchant on and want some advice on that, but the crits with this baby are nice and with a good ms crit i can do about 1k dmg :)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

disenchant info?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

just hit 51 today, and immediately went to get this polearm.

the first time i entered the battleground i figured i could just leave it there and wait till my faction wins (horde was completely dominating that round). However, when i came back from lunch, i was already kicked out of the battleground, saying that i left the battleground before the game was ended. and that gave me like a 20 min spell that prevents me from getting in.

the 2nd time, i just stood there and walked around to get reputation points. Honestly, if you are lvl 51, you're not gonna be much help to your team anyway, might as walk around and grind low lvl mobs. and after about 10 min, my team just suddenly won. and i walked away with this amazing polearm. (can prob use it till lvl 60!)

Note: some people might be confused that this is a lvl 60 item. THE ITEM LVL ITSELF IS 60. but you can equip it or get the quest when you are 51. Great weapon for retribution paladins. it also ranks as the #37 best weapon to use with Seal of Command - according to this website: http://www.wowwiki.com/Compendium_of_the_best_Paladin%27s_weapons

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I love my Stoneraven, but this polearm is just way too good to pass up. I am not clear on how you get the Quest for this thing. Can anyone direct me to the proper place?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Umm Bye-Bye Reaper more like it, a Free easy to get weapon that only does 50 Damage Less that Reaper on average(Attack power included) but makes up for it with a 1% chance to crit or spend 900g on Reaper
hmmmmmm

Комментарий от Allakhazam

this isn't a reaper replacer and reaper does not cost 900g. Arcane prices are falling and I suspect they will be in the high teens in 1-2 weeks. That means that on average if a arcane bar costs lets say 18g in 1-2 weeks 18x20=360. Basically reaper will be available to people for around 400g.

But none the less this weapon is soley responsible for the price drops.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I got this at 51, and you should try to get it before 53 if your a Warrior as well. You will see a drastic improvement over your current weapon if you switch to this at 51. Get it NOW.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Where exactly is the guy who gives this quest, i have a 51 hunter and i cant find the guy

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I got this spear at lvl 51 easily :P

I went to entrance of AV and took all quests. I didn't even know which one gives this weapon. Then I enter, I get in immediately because new game started. But then I saw message "Not enough players, game will end in 5 mins" and horde win and I got this spear, in about 10 mins :D

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I just got my Ice Barbed spear at lvl53, it took us like 3 minutes with 12 men... I am a hunter and I prefer this spear above the Xbow cause if ur in a good guild u can easily get a Dark Iron rifle or Flawless Arcanite just by getting some stuff (which they often already have) so...

I just love the polearm :)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I can very well understand the frustration of warriors that have spent so much time and effort in getting enough cash for an arcanite reaper (even tho it is still better, the Ice Barbed Spear is soo easy to get for FREE). What I do not understand tho is why like 80% of the horde (that already got the Ice Barbed Spear <---( with help of others as well ) are often NOT WILLING to help other horde players (same team!) to get this weapon. It really looks like as soon as someone got it they do not want others to get it as well (grudging). Why is it soooooo problematic if a level 51-55 is trying to get this weapon and asking for help? Ofcourse people would like to have this as soon as they can, you would (or maybe did) to if you where that level and had the possibility to get it. I can get so irritated of these greedy (only for themselves) people...

YES IT IS MAYBE TO EASY TO GET COMPARED TO ARCANITE REAPER, BUT IT IS LIKE IT IS, SO LIVE WITH IT, AND BE HELPFULL NOW AND THEN!

I have tried getting it for like 7 battlegrounds now, most of the time if I ask for help people will start cursing at me..... It seems to be a trend to do this. Do helpfull (non greedy) people still excist?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

picked this baby up last night, and it is so sweet and sexy. Question about the glow though, if I put a +15 agi enchant on it, will it glow green or icey blue?

4 AV's so far and no luck. closest i got was almost 2 hours in AV, almost the entire raid group pushed for drek with 3 60's on defense... but the horde had the same idea, and stormpike died just before we got to drek ><

i'm trying again just because the stats on this thing are ridiculous, lord alexander's battleaxe is the closest thing i can see to this in AH but it doesn't even compare.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Ugh, all I can say is the Alliance better get it together. 12 runs through AV and finally we won one in a battle of attrition. But, I got my IBS. As a 52 dwarf hunter, it's a great weapon. Love the agility boost.

Комментарий от Brendalis

So I got this today from AV - I'm lvl 53 Ret Pala - I guess this will surely last me till 60. Is it worth getting a decent ench? if so what would you recommend? Noob welcomes all thoughts and comments on this :)
Thanks in advance!

Комментарий от AoBman05

IBS is basically Whirlwind Axe 2.0 for Lv50 Warriors (and Paladins), assuming you get it right at Lv51. It's quite OP for the last 9 levels since the weapon is on par with endgame level blues.

I highly recommend it since the mace is more caster oriented, and you won't get much out of the crossbow. You won't need a new 2H'der until Lv60.

Комментарий от longdongwarrior

If you are a warrior you have some choices. Consider using Thrash Blade and Assassination Blade (10-25g depending on server). For two handers, consider Lord Alexander's Battleaxe.

Get Bloodseeker - depending on your gear this crossbow can be comparable to Strikers Mark from MC. You will use this FAR into 60. This polearm, you will not.
