Hello everyone!
Today on stream we managed to get our hands on the hidden corrupted ashbringer skin and
a lot of people requested if I could make a video about it.
Before we begin, 2 things.
All the credit to the amazing people who made the guide for obtaining the skin.
I had no idea how to do it and simply follower their instructions so if you are looking for
a guide, check the link in the description and just follow those steps.
Next to that the end of the questline has some spoilers for the Death Knight Order Hall
campaign.
That’s the video I’ll be releasing coming monday but if you still want to do the order
hall for yourself then this is not the video for you.
Right, with that out of the way, lets start the video and there are 3 things you’ll
need to do before you can begin.
First your Ashbringer needs to be at level 6 artifact knowledge.
You can check this by holding shift and right clicking on it, top left corner you’ll see
a number, hover over it and you’ll see how far you are.
You increase the artifact knowledge by doing the word order in your order hall.
Next to that you’ll 2 books since this hidden skin is like a reference or love note to the
days back in classic where people were desperatly searching for the Ashbringer by following
nat pagles words.
This means you’ll need Nat pagles guide to extreme anglin which can be looted from
dead enemy players within the Alterac Valley Battleground and A Thoroughly Read Copy of
"Nat Pagle's Guide to Extreme Anglin'. which can be looted from a dusty tome within Dire
Maul.
I found mine in Dire Maul east behind Lethtendris, but if you’re looking for a guide on how
to farm it...check the description!
You could also check the auction house if you got enough gold and can’t be botherd
with trying to farm it.
With the books in your inventory talk to Sister Elda who says:
I’ve been reading about a book written by an expert tradesman that spoke at length about
the Ashbringer.
It seems most copies were lost long ago, their tattered pages scattered to the winds.
I wonder if it’s still out there somewhere?
I’m sure we could learn a thing or two if we could piece it back together.
Sister could you take a look at these?
They might be missing pieces of the Book!
<Elda carefully thumbs through the pages, her eyes moving rapidly across the weathered
ext By the Light highlord.
I think you’re right!
This must be the one.
I should be able to piece it back together – allow me just a moment!
How fascinating.
This Nat Pagle sounds like quite the adventurer!
Aha!
Success!
You should see if you can find anyone who might know more about this book.
I think it’s hinting at something far bigger than a day of fishing!
She hands over A complete copy of nat pagles guide to extreme anglin and the person we’re
looking for is Prince Tortheldrin – Ruler of the Shen’dralar within Dire Maul West,
but in order to make him talk you’ll have to collect the head of Nefarian within Blackwing
lair.
If you’ve never done the raid before, description has a link to a guide.
It’s an oldie but it still works.
Now you might wonder, why prince Tortheldrin?
WellbBack in the day, when people were still looking for the ashbringer before it could
actually drop within naxxramas, people thought that Tortheldrin might have something to do
with it because the shen’dralar Zealots said "The Master holds great interest in the
Lair of Nefarian.
If only someone would defeat the dragon and his minions and retell the tale to the Prince.
I bet that would loosen the Prince's lips.
The Ashbringer could be found!"
And so many years later that’s exactly what happends as we show the book, tell the tale
of Nefarians demise and show him the head, the prince reveals that another showed interest
in the ashbringer.
“A human mage gave me a copy of that book many years ago.
He kept trying to convince me to help him, going on about something to do with fighting
fire with fire.
I cannot leave this place, as you know, so that was the last I saw of the strange fellow.
he went off to reunite with his allies, I presume.
You are not the first to inquire about this book, however.
I wonder ...
Who else sought you out?
She was a dwarf if I am not mistaken and I am not often mistaken.
She came here with a copy of that very book, just as you have today, but had no proof of
the black drake’s death and so my lips remained sealed.
She was quite eager to learn about the Ashbringer’s whereabouts.
Perhaps if you found her, she might be able to enlighten you further.
This is the dialogue for alliance paladins and they need to find Alexia Ironknife within
Chilldwind Camp in the western plaguelands where as the horde needs to go to her counterpart,
Bardu Sharpeye at the Bulwark in Tirisfal Glades.
Both of them have been setting up camp and taking a break since classic and both have
them have been saying the same thing.
They’re looking for a great human wizard who took up residance within Hearthglen.
he was commissioned by the scarlet crusade to fasion their warriors and hunters with
bows and guns.
It’s siad that he completed a remarkable weapon before the crusade killed him and this
remarkable weapon had many players speculate.
Could this wizard be connected to the ashbringer?
Turns out he is since we can now ask them if they know anything more about what this
wizard created to deserve such a fate?
They don’t know, only that the crusaders who killed him know the truth and none among
their ranks live to reveal it.
Time to inspect hearthglen, the building on the left from the main building and inside
we find a journal written by Grand Inquisitor Isillien’s.
Issilien was actually there the day Alexandros Mograine revealed the strange crystal he had
found on the body of a dead orc.
Issilien thought that they should destroy it, shot at it with the holy light and they
discovered that the crystal did not break, instead it absorbed the light.
More and more they infused it eventually turning it from its dark state into a holy one which
has many believe that the crystal used for the ashbringer is part of a naaru since they
show a similar dark and light cycle.
issilien ended up in the scarlet crusade which was corrupted from within by the dreadlord
balnazaar and under his rule, the organisation became incredible fanatics, unable to see
the difference between the living and the dead.
Tirion’s son, Taelen, was also a crusader but he figured out that it had fallen from
its once noble purpose and tried to step away, only to be brought down by Issilien.
Tirion saw the body of his son, his joy and pride in this world and took vengeance by
killing issillien.
Turns out Issillien had quite a murder streak since in the journal we read about what he
did to the wizard:
...the loathsome wizard is more resillient than I had first expected.
Still, showing him the Light’s wrath has been one of my great joys these past few weeks.
The heathen deserves worse – who would dare try to create something so foul from the very
shadows we seek to destroy?!
I knew his kind were not to be trusted.
I cannot afford to dispose of the wretch here,
the attention it would draw if he were found would only further complicate my glorious
work.
No...I have a better idea.
I will bring him to death’s very door and leave him in the Plaguelands.
There is a particularly vile slime on the river’s edge that will ensure not a trace
remains of the traitorous louse...If I can find the damned creature.
And finding the damn creature can be quite tricky, but you can find him on the eastern
river bank of the western plaguelands.
Big thank you to Wieber for inviting me over into his realm where the creature was up,
who knows how long it would have been for it to respawn.
Once you find the Large Vile Slime defeat it and loot Timolain’s Phylactery, the mage
that we’ve been looking for.
A comment on wowhead going back to 2007 states that this phylactery used to be in the game
and dropped from large vile slimes found in the weeping cave of the western plaguelands.
It was eventually removed from the loot table, but those that already looted it could still
fid it in their inventory.
It was a quest item, but no particular quest connected it and again...when we don’t know
what’s going on, speculation takes over and people tried to connect this somehow to
the ashbringer.
I have to say it seems like a lot of love and minor touches when into this hidden skin
so props to blizzard for that.
Anyways we have the phylactry and from it we can call upon the spirit of Timolain who
tells us the groosome tell as to how the ooze slowly but surely devoured him.
In his final moments he did 2 thing, the first was putting his necromantic learnings to the
test, sealing his soul within the phylactery that we found.
It did nothing for the pain of death, but it has served its purpose.
Afterwards as he was already half consumed by the creature, he hurled the crystal into
the river beside us in the hopes that someone might still put it to use against the foces
of darkness.
The Lich’s face contorts into something of a smile since the basterd knows what’s
coming next.
Like the ancient treasure hunters before us, we are going to have to fish aand considering
it’s rng, you might be here for a while.
Wowhead has reports of somewhere between 70 to 1400 casts so best of luck.
It took me around 15 minutes and I used nats fishing hat together with the fishing artifact
and I have my fishing maxed out so I think that adds up to around 1010 skill in fishing.
I have no idea if that matters, if there’s a certain requirement, just know that you’re
going to fish for a dark crystal created by Timolain.
He figured that since the original wielder of our blade proved unable to stand against
the endless throngs of undead that threatened our world, he would seek a different approach...one
that could not fall.
He devised a way to fight the scourge using their own magic against them.
With the river of souls at his disposal from the lich king’s rampage, he created a counterpart
to the holy relic that fuels the ashbringers strength but before he could properly seal
it within a suitable blade, he was found by Issillien and the rest as they say, was excruciatingly
painful.
The power of light and shadow infused into one weapon, that’s what we’re after so
after fishing for a bit you should be able to get Shard of Darkness in which fain screams
can be heard from deep within.
Back at the order hall we talk with Maxwell who has his doubts about this plan.
He can sense the dark pressence, worries that we might change if we go through with this,
but we tell him that if we can harness its power, it might prove useful against the legion.
There cannot be light without shadow, we must strike balanace and Maxwell knows exactly
who can help us with this.
The Knights of the Ebon Blade, specificly the four horsemen, Sally Whitemante, Nazgrim,
Thoras Trollbane and Highlord Darion Mograine.
Coming monday we’ll talk about them, but they serve their Deathlord but they also kinda
owe us since they attacked Light’s Hope Chappel and tried to turn Tirion into a horseman
so we fly into Acherus and despite Sally trying to immediatly get us kicked out, Nazgrim is
cool and knows we have honor while Trollbane wants to hear us out first before taking action.
We show them the dark crystal, something Darion thought only to be a myth, Surely we can’t
possibly hope to...but we do... and they recognise that Ashbringer is no longer their enemy.
The Horsemen coming their strength and on this day the Ashbringer will know their power
once more.
Maxwell tells Darion that his father would be proud and Darion tells him to never speak
of his father in his pressence again.
Now begone and never return.
Is cool, we’re even now as back at lights hope chappel we get the heart of corruption
and with it, unlock the hidden artifact skin known as corrupted Remembrance.
You can unlock the different colors by Completing a 100 dungeons, completing 200 world quests
or killing a thousand enemy players while using the hidden artifact apperance.
And there you go ladies and gentleman, once again a big big biiiig thank you to all those
that worked hard on getting the guide up on wowhead.
It was easy to follow and completely accurate.
Thank you very much for watching everyone and until next time guys....see ya!
