Overview

Maruukai Smith's Tongs

Game iconMaruukai Smith's Tongs is a rare one-handed dagger added to World of Warcraft in the Dragonflight expansion alongside the Maruuk Centaur update on the Dragon Isles. The model is unusual: instead of a classic blade, we get massive smith's tongs with long handles and a shaped grip, nodding to the craft of the Shikaar clan's masters. The color scheme is dark blued steel with deep bronze highlights and leather-wrapped handles.

By game mechanics the item belongs to the "Dagger" class, so it can be used as transmog by every class that wields daggers: rogues, warlocks, mages, druids, hunters, shamans, and demon hunters. Since this is a decorative model of a craftsman's tool, the dagger looks especially fitting in the outfits of smiths, artisans, and peaceful professions — not as a battle weapon, but as a piece of a costume.

The item comes at item level 1 and has no combat value — it is pure transmog. After purchase, the tongs become warbound, so they can be sent to any character on the account, and once equipped they add the appearance to the collection for all dagger classes.

Source

The tongs are sold for renown by two Maruuk Centaur quartermasters in the Ohn'ahran Plains on the Dragon Isles. This is not a rare drop or a quest-chain reward — it is a guaranteed purchase once you reach the required faction renown level.

Key details on obtaining it:

  • Vendor location — Ohn'ahran Plains, the Maruuk Centaur camp, in the central part of the zone.
  • Required faction — Maruuk Centaur, renown level 17.
  • Access to the faction opens at level 60–70 as part of the Dragonflight campaign; the formal entry level is 60, though in practice farming renown is easier at level 70.
  • The price for a single copy is the same at both vendors and consists of a currency and crafting materials.

Price

Vendors

  • Weaponmaster Aloom — a representative of the Shikaar clan, sells weapons to the renowned. Stands at the centaur camp in the Ohn'ahran Plains, coordinates /way #2024 62.4 42.2.
  • Quartermaster Huseng — a representative of the Tirah clan, sells goods for renown. Coordinates /way #2024 60.4 37.6.

The game does not require choosing a single vendor — the tongs are in both inventories, and the price and conditions are identical. You can approach whichever one is closer along your route.

Who It Suits Visually

  • Fits well into Maruuk Centaur sets with their leather armor, simple chainmail, and steppe-nomad theme.
  • Harmonizes with smith and artisan looks: dark steel and bronze accents pair with aprons, bracers, and heavy gloves.
  • Suits an earthy, ochre palette — desert and steppe sets of the Dragon Isles, and Outland and Kalimdor collections.
  • Complements "civilian" costumes for roleplay looks and screenshots: merchant, engineer, master weaponsmith.
  • Contrasts with elven and ceremonial armor — massive tongs next to filigree plate look debatable, so this choice fits deliberately "rough" looks.

Tips

1

Before buying, make sure you have unlocked renown level 17 with the Maruuk Centaur — without it the item stays locked in the vendors' inventory.

2

The fastest way to raise renown is the faction's weekly tasks, hunting big game in the Ohn'ahran Plains, and the "Grand Hunt" events.

3

Dragon Isles supplies are earned from tasks, world quests, and events all across the Dragon Isles, so the currency usually piles up on its own as you level.

4

Serevite ore and tallstrider sinew can be either gathered yourself or bought on the auction house — the materials are cheap, and an auction purchase saves time.

5

If your main character is short on materials, send the missing ingredients from your bank or an alt: the item becomes warbound only after purchase.

6

The tongs are sold by two vendors at once at the same price, so you can plan your route through either of them — pick whoever is closer to the flight point.

7

After purchase, the appearance is added to your transmogrification collection right after you use the item — no separate unlock quest is required.

8

The item itself is item level 1 and is not meant for combat; do not try to use it as a real weapon.

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.
