Headmaster's Charge — Transmog Set Guide

Headmaster's Charge is an epic-quality two-handed staff, one of the most recognizable appearances from a classic dungeon. It is a dark staff topped with a skull and an ominous green glow, styled in the necromantic aesthetic of the school of dark arts. Its silhouette reads clearly from a distance and fits perfectly into any look for a warlock, Shadow priest, or necromancer.

The staff carries intellect and stamina, so it was historically meant for casters. For transmogrification the stats are irrelevant: once bound, the item unlocks its appearance for your wardrobe and becomes available to any class that can wield staves.

The main appeal of the model is its grim theme and its ties to the legendary Scholomance dungeon. If you are putting together a set in black-and-green necromantic tones, this staff fills the two-handed weapon slot with one of the most atmospheric models from old content.

Headmaster's Charge drops from the final boss of the Scholomance dungeon — Darkmaster Gandling. The dungeon is located in the Western Plaguelands, on the isle of Caer Darrow in the center of Darrowmere Lake.

• The staff's drop chance is about 2.27%, so be ready for several runs.
• The boss has no attempt limit: the dungeon can be reset as many times as your daily dungeon reset cap allows.
• Darkmaster Gandling is the last enemy in the dungeon, so you do not have to clear everything before him: if you wish, you can run straight to him if you know the route.
• The appearance unlocks when the item is added to your wardrobe, even if your class cannot wield staves.

The dungeon is legacy content, so at max level it is cleared solo with no trouble by any class. The minimum entry level is a formality: a character at the current cap kills everything here in one or two hits.

Headmaster's Charge has no known color variations — it is a standalone classic model. If you need a dark staff with a similar silhouette featuring a skull or a necromantic head, take a look at other ominous-themed appearance staves.

• Look for similar models among staves from Northrend-era dungeons and raids — there are plenty of staves in the black-and-green palette of the Scourge.
• For a brighter glow, staves with a purple or toxic-green head from the Plaguelands and Icecrown Citadel content will work well.

• It harmonizes with dark cloth sets in black-and-green tones — the look of a necromancer or a Scourge cultist.
• It fills the two-handed weapon slot for Shadow priests, warlocks, and mages building a grim character concept.
• It contrasts strikingly with light plate armor when you need an accent "villainous" element in your look.
• It suits the theme of the school of dark arts and the undead thanks to the skull and the greenish glow of its head.
