Overview

Кузнецкий молот Ганс'гара

Game iconHans'gar's Forgehammer is a one-handed crushing hammer added to World of Warcraft in the Warlords of Draenor expansion alongside the Blackrock Foundry raid (patch 6.0). It is a heavy blacksmith's hammer with a massive iron head, crude riveted plating and a leather-wrapped handle — a typical Blackrock Clan smith's tool repurposed into a weapon.

The model is rendered in the industrial aesthetic of the Iron Horde: dark metal, scorch marks and factory-grade brutality. The hammer fits well into looks built around the theme of the forge, orcish craftsmanship and the heavy industry of Draenor. The item's stats have long been irrelevant — it is taken purely for its appearance for transmogrification.

Source

The hammer drops in the Blackrock Foundry raid, located in Gorgrond on Draenor.

  • The item drops from the fight against the paired bosses Hans'gar and Franzok — two giant orcs who, during the fight, activate factory conveyors and presses.
  • It is available on difficulties from Normal to Mythic; the specific model of the hammer belongs to the higher raid difficulties.
  • This is a raid from an expansion that is more than two expansions out of date, so it can be soloed at the current level without much trouble.
  • The limit is one boss kill per week per character, so to farm several attempts, set up additional characters.
  • The boss pair itself has no mechanics that block soloing: at the current level both targets fall quickly, and the shared rage counter and presses pose no threat.

To reach the raid, head to Gorgrond on Draenor: the entrance to the Blackrock Foundry is in the northern part of the zone. You can get to Draenor through the portal in your faction's capital or through your garrison, if you have one built.

Alternatives

This hammer model has no known color variants outside the Blackrock Foundry raid. One-handed hammers similar in silhouette and industrial styling also drop in this same raid from other bosses, so in a single run you can collect several Iron Horde weapon appearances at once.

If you need a similar heavy blacksmith's hammer, take a look at the crushing weapons that drop from the other bosses of the Blackrock Foundry — they are kept in the same dark metallic palette.

Who It Suits Visually

  • Harmonizes with sets in the industrial aesthetic of the Iron Horde and the forge theme of Draenor.
  • Looks great in shaman and hunter looks with an emphasis on a wild, rugged style — the hammer's stats are oriented toward Agility.
  • Pairs with dark plate and mail armor in shades of iron, soot and dull steel.
  • Works in contrast within sets with a glowing, fiery theme — a nod to the foundry's smelting furnaces.
  • Suits as a working tool for the looks of craftsman and blacksmith characters in roleplay.

Tips

1

Enter the raid once a week on each character: the boss kill is tied to the weekly reset, and farming speeds up thanks to alts.

2

At the current level, choose Mythic difficulty — that is where the desired model variant drops, and a solo run still takes only a few minutes.

3

The hammer is oriented toward Agility, but for transmog that does not matter: the appearance is available to any class that can wield one-handed crushing weapons.

4

Clear the entire raid in a single run — the other bosses of the Blackrock Foundry offer a chance at other Iron Horde weapons and armor for your collection.

5

For fast farming, classes with high mobility and good self-healing are handy, so you can run through the raid without stopping.

6

Check your appearance collection tab: if the look is already collected, there is no point in spending an attempt on a repeat drop.
