Warchief's Blessing is a Horde-exclusive world buff. An NPC in Orgrimmar applies it when a raid dragon's head is turned in: the Horde receives both Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer and Warchief's Blessing at once — a well-known Vanilla faction advantage.

Where to get it

The buff is applied by an NPC in Orgrimmar at the Onyxia or Nefarian head turn-in.
It covers all nearby Horde players, so turn-ins are announced in world chat.
Alliance has no equivalent — part of the classic faction imbalance.

Using it on x5

It only lasts 1 hour — grab it last, close to raid time.
It drops on death, so protect it in transit.
