Band of Accuria
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruBand of Accuria is one of the most sought-after melee rings in WoW Vanilla, dropping from Onyxia. The hit rating on the ring makes it BiS for warriors, rogues and hunters for almost the entire classic.
Weapon stats
The ring combines hit, critical strike and agility/strength — a perfect set for physical DPS. The hit rating is especially valuable: it moves you toward the hit cap without sacrificing other stats.
Stats:
- Type: ring (finger slot)
- Core: hit, critical strike, agility/strength
- For: physical melee DPS
How to obtain
The item drops from: Onyxia (Onyxia's Lair). That means steady Onyxia's Lair clears up to the required boss.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | Onyxia (Onyxia's Lair) |
| Type | Ring (finger) |
| Class | Warrior, rogue, hunter |
| Stage | Early raids (Onyxia) |
On x5 repeated Onyxia's Lair clears are faster, so Band of Accuria is realistic within a few weeks of farm — agree loot priority with your raid lead in advance.
Who needs it
The ring is especially valuable for a Fury warrior and rogue: hit is scarce in the first raid tier, and Band of Accuria covers both the hit cap and crit. Melee and ranged hunters also take it as BiS for agility and hit.
Farming tactics on x5
Band of Accuria is earned by farming Onyxia's Lair: on an x5 server the raid is completed faster, meaning more drop attempts than on classic realms.
How to speed up getting it:
- Onyxia is an accessible 40-man raid: keep it in the weekly rotation for the ring and the head buff.
- Every physical DPS contests Band of Accuria — agree loot priority in advance.
- On x5, farming Onyxia is quick, so you get more attempts at the ring than on classic realms.
For the Warrior, rogue, hunter role this item is a noticeable step forward, worth keeping the raid in the weekly rotation for.
Summary
Band of Accuria is the benchmark early-tier melee ring: hit, crit and an Onyxia origin make it long-lived BiS up to AQ40. For a guild learning raids, a steady hunt for this ring is a good reason to keep Onyxia in the weekly rotation and strengthen physical DPS.
