Get Hand of Edward the Odd

Hand of Edward the Odd is an iconic epic-quality one-handed mace dating back to the earliest versions of World of Warcraft. It is a staff-head shaped like a clenched fist on a short handle: a distinctive, one-of-a-kind model that many collectors recognize at a glance. Despite its tiny item level of 13, it is a fully-fledged epic model for transmog.

The mace is intended for characters who use Intellect — spellcasters wear it for its appearance, paired with a book or another weapon. The item is unique and becomes soulbound when equipped. It carries the effect "Odd Feeling": attacks have a 20% chance to increase Haste for 4 seconds — a nice bonus, but these days the item is taken almost exclusively for transmog.

Hand of Edward the Odd is a world drop that has accompanied the game since its very launch. The item has no guaranteed source, but there are spots where it drops most often.

• The main modern farm is the Blackrock Spire dungeon, its lower section.
• The specific enemy to farm is the Scarshield Sentry, orcs from Blackhand's hall in the lower part of the dungeon.
• The drop chance is low — this is a rare drop from regular mobs, not a boss reward, so many clears will be required.
• Beyond targeted farming, the mace also appears as a world drop from enemies of the appropriate level all across the old world, but the chance there is even lower.
• The item is unique: you can only hold one copy in your bags at a time.

The Hand of Edward the Odd model is unique and has no official recolors — it is a standalone mace, not part of a set. There are very few similar "hands on a handle" silhouettes in the game, so direct visual twins are almost nonexistent.

If you need a similarly unusual mace for a caster, browse the Wowhead weapon model catalog under the "Blunt" subclass — but there is nothing to replace this particular "hand", and that is exactly its value.

• It fits looks for Mages, Priests, Warlocks, and Shamans, where an unusual, memorable weapon model is valued.
• It harmonizes with dark and neutral cloth sets — the fist head draws the eye and works as an accent.
• It contrasts with ornate gilded staves: this is a deliberately rough, almost grotesque model for themed looks.
• It looks great paired with a book or tome in the off hand, emphasizing the silhouette of a close-quarters caster.
