Blessed Qiraji War Axe is a crafted BoE which means it can be bought on the Auction House. But the price is enormous due to the rarity of Elementium Ore.
How to Craft
Required materials:
- 1× Elementium Axe (recipe from AQ40)
- 10× Elementium Bar (smelt Elementium Ore from AQ40)
- 2× Azerothian Diamond
- 2× Large Opal
Elementium Ore only drops in AQ40. Can be crafted by a Blacksmith 300+ with the appropriate Weaponsmithing subspecialty.
Why This Is BiS
For a Fury Warrior in Dual Wield spec the main hand should be slow (3.8+ speed) with high damage. BQWA provides:
- High top-end damage (188 for 1H) ensures Sword Specialization procs
- Strength gives direct AP
- Slow speed of 3.80 is ideal for main hand in TG spec
| Weapon | Damage (top) | Speed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blessed Qiraji War Axe | 188 | 3.80 | AQ40 craft |
| Dark Edge of Insanity | 240 (2H) | 3.70 | AQ40 C'Thun |
| Crul'shorukh (off) | 198 | 2.90 | AQ40 C'Thun |
| Ashkandi | 209 (2H) | 3.70 | BWL Nefarian |
In the Fury Warrior BiS list for the AQ40 phase: BQWA is main hand, Crul'shorukh is offhand. This is the strongest damage combination for Fury.

The Economics of Elementium Ore
Elementium Ore is one of the rarest resources in WoW Classic. It is only mined in AQ40 so its price on the Auction House is very high. On WowX5's x5 server ore farming is accelerated by rates but the base drop remains the same as on original servers.
To save money team up with a Blacksmith in your guild. If you do not have Blacksmithing 300 yourself find a smith through guild chat and split the crafting cost. The resulting axe is worth every coin spent — Blessed Qiraji War Axe stays in Fury Warrior BiS lists through the end of Classic phases.
