Might of Menethil — Two-Handed Mace from Naxxramas
Might of Menethil is one of the best two-handers in WoW Vanilla, dropping from Kel'Thuzad in Naxxramas. For Fury warriors and Retribution paladins it is the final two-handed mace of the Classic era.
Stats
Might of Menethil is a slow two-handed mace with enormous damage per hit and a generous strength stat block. The high per-hit damage makes it the benchmark for crit and Slam builds.
Stats:
- Type: two-handed mace, slow speed
- Damage: very high per hit
- Bonuses: strength, stamina, critical strike
◆How to obtain
Might of Menethil drops only from Kel'Thuzad, so the path to it is steady weekly clears of all of Naxxramas.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | Kel'Thuzad (Naxxramas) |
| Type | Two-handed mace |
| Class | Warrior (Fury/Arms), Retribution paladin |
| Tier | Naxxramas (Vanilla endgame) |
On an x5 server repeat Naxxramas clears are faster — you can realistically close Might of Menethil in a few weeks of farming Kel'Thuzad. Discuss loot priority in advance.
◆Who needs it
The mace is especially valuable for Fury warriors and Retribution paladins: high per-hit damage works great with crit builds and Slam. It is a clear upgrade over Ashkandi from BWL.
Farming tactics on x5
How to speed up getting the item:
- Ensure a clean run through every wing of Naxxramas to Kel'Thuzad — without it the drop will not appear.
- Agree on a loot system (DKP or loot council): competition for a Kel'Thuzad two-hander among warriors and paladins is high.
- Until the mace drops, keep Ashkandi (BWL) as a stopgap — it keeps your DPS high.
Summary
Might of Menethil is the pinnacle of Vanilla two-handers: huge per-hit damage, strength stats and a menacing look make it a top warrior goal in Naxxramas. Hunting it is a reason to polish the whole raid.
