- Source: C'Thun (Ahn'Qiraj (AQ40))

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | C'Thun |
| Type | two-handed sword |
| Class | Warrior (Fury/Arms), ret paladin |
| Raid | Ahn'Qiraj (AQ40) |
agree a loot system (DKP or loot council) with your raid lead in advance — top items of this raid always draw heavy competition. Until it drops, keep stopgap pieces from BWL and AQ20 so your stats do not sag.
Who needs the item
Kalimdor's Revenge is especially valuable for Fury warriors: the stat set (strength, stamina, critical strike) fits this role's profile exactly. It is a noticeable upgrade over the previous raid stage's rewards.
Farming tactics on x5
On an x5 server repeated raid clears are faster, so the chance to secure the item within a reasonable number of weeks is much higher. To speed it up:
- Keep the raid in weekly rotation and do not skip the needed boss.
- Agree loot priority in advance — fewer disputes and faster distribution.
- Do not forget stopgap items and consumables (elixirs, enchants) — they keep your raid contribution high while you farm.
Summary
Kalimdor's Revenge is one of the signature items of its stage: strong stats and a memorable look make it a worthy raid progression goal. For a guild, hunting it is a good reason to polish the fight and raise the raid's overall gear level.
