Get Blazefury

Blazefury is an epic one-handed sword with a burning blade wreathed in tongues of flame. It is a classic example of a "blazing" weapon from the The Burning Crusade era: a broad blade, a red-hot edge and a warm fiery glow that makes the sword stand out even against bright armor. Despite its considerable age, the model is still in demand for fire and elemental looks.

The sword was added in the The Burning Crusade expansion and is crafted with blacksmithing. Only its model matters for transmogrification, so the item's outdated stats are irrelevant.

Blazefury cannot be bought or looted from a boss — it is the crowning achievement of the weapon upgrade chain in the swordsmith blacksmithing specialization.

The crafting chain looks like this:

• First the blacksmith crafts Fireguard, the starting sword of this line.
• It is then upgraded into Blazeguard.
• At the final step Blazeguard is transformed into Blazefury.

Key requirements:

• You need a character with blacksmithing and the swordsmith specialization.
• The final step requires the reagent Nether Vortex, an epic material from the The Burning Crusade era.
• The finished sword is bound to its owner, so only the blacksmith who completed the entire chain can add the appearance to their collection.
• Starting with the Cataclysm expansion the recipe can no longer be learned from trainers, but players who learned it earlier can still craft the sword.

Because of these restrictions the appearance is considered hard to obtain: you can no longer acquire it "from scratch" on a new character through standard means, which adds collector's value to the sword.

• Perfect for fire looks — especially for warriors and paladins in a red-and-gold palette.
• Harmonizes with armor that has its own flame or molten metal effects.
• Looks great in paired setups with identical blades for dual-wield combat.
• Contrasts with dark or cold armor, serving as a bright fiery accent of the look.
