| Stage | Mid raids (AQ) |
On x5 it is easier to field a 20-man roster and Ruins clears are faster — Silithid Claw is realistic to secure within a few farm rounds. Discuss loot priority with your raid lead in advance.
Who needs the item
A fast off-hand is critical for combat rogues: more swings mean more poison procs, Sword Specialization and extra Slice and Dice uptime. Silithid Claw adds its own damage proc on top, keeping it in BiS setups up to the top AQ40 daggers.
For the "rogue and warrior" role this item is a clear step forward, worth keeping Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj in your weekly rotation until you move on to AQ40 gear.
Farming it on x5
Silithid Claw is farmed by clearing Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj. On an x5 server the raid goes faster, meaning more attempts at the drop than on classic realms.
How to speed it up:
- Agree on loot priority — every melee DPS in the raid competes for a one-handed mace from this boss.
- Until you get it, use dungeon and reputation alternatives to keep your stats respectable.
- Consistent full Ruins clears directly raise your odds: the more you go in, the more chances at the drop.
Bottom line
Silithid Claw is a benchmark item for its slot at the Mid raids (AQ) stage. Coming from the accessible AQ20 raid makes it a convenient target: a 20-man is easier to assemble than a 40-man, and the boost to your role is tangible. For a guild learning Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, hunting this item is a good reason to sharpen the fight and gear up the group.
