Overview

Дворфийская пищаль

Game iconDwarven Hand Cannon is an epic ranged firearm that appeared in World of Warcraft all the way back in the classic version of the game. It is a short, massive blunderbuss-style rifle with a wide flared barrel, brass fittings, and a rough wooden stock in the dwarven engineering style. The model looks squat and heavy, which sets it apart from the sleek ranged weapons of later expansions.

The appearance suits any class that uses guns in the ranged weapon slot: hunters as a main weapon, warriors and rogues for transmogrifying the ranged slot. The brutal "gunpowder" silhouette fits dwarven and engineering looks nicely, as well as steampunk concepts.

Source

The rifle is obtained as a rare drop in a dungeon rather than bought or crafted. The main source is the inhabitants of the lower part of Blackrock Spire.

  • Drops from Scarshield Legionnaires — orcs that populate the lower part of the Blackrock Spire dungeon.
  • It is a rare drop with a very low chance, so getting the appearance often takes several runs.
  • The item is not soulbound on pickup, so with luck you can also find it on the auction house — an alternative to farming it yourself.
  • The Legionnaires are regular mobs rather than bosses, so you can kill them en masse and quickly on every run.

Blackrock Spire is classic-version content and at the current maximum level (90 in the Midnight expansion) it can be cleared solo without trouble. The mobs you need have no mechanics that block solo play; no healer or group is required. The dungeon entrance is in the Burning Steppes, at the base of Blackrock Mountain.

Who It Suits Visually

  • Harmonizes with dwarven looks in a brown-and-brass palette focused on metal and leather.
  • Complements engineering and steampunk concepts thanks to the "gunpowder" barrel design.
  • Contrasts with light elven armor — a deliberately rough choice for unconventional looks.
  • Looks great with heavy hunter mail sets in earthy tones.
  • Fits sets that reference the militia and mercenaries of Azeroth's classic era.

Tips

1

The most convenient way to farm is to enter the lower part of Blackrock Spire solo and clear out every Scarshield Legionnaire each run.

2

The drop chance is low, so be prepared for several repeat runs; the dungeon resets between runs.

3

Before farming, check the auction house: the item is not bound, and other players sometimes put it up for sale.

4

For speed, take a class with area damage — wiping out mobs in bulk noticeably speeds up loot checking.

5

The dungeon entrance is in the Burning Steppes, at the base of Blackrock Mountain; the easiest way there is via the nearest portal or flight point.

6

The Hand Cannon is a ranged slot item, so in the transmogrification editor it is applied separately from melee weapons.

7

For the appearance collection you only need to obtain the rifle once: after that the model is unlocked for all eligible classes on the account.

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
