Overview

Scepter of Sargeras

Game iconScepter of Sargeras is a two-handed staff, the artifact weapon of the Destruction warlock specialization from the Legion expansion. This is not an ordinary transmog from a raid or dungeon, but a whole set of appearances tied to the artifact system of the sixth expansion. The staff's head is crowned with a crystal blazing with green Fel fire, set in a clawed mount, while demonic runes run along the shaft — the entire model is rendered in the fel-green palette of the Burning Legion.

In the lore, this is an ancient creation of Sargeras's servants, capable of tearing the very fabric of reality. It was with this scepter that the traitorous orc shaman Ner'zhul opened countless portals, which ultimately ripped the world of Draenor apart and gave rise to Outland. For a warlock building a dark, themed collection of appearances, this is one of the most recognizable staves in the entire game.

Source

The scepter is granted during the warlock class campaign in Legion. The artifact cannot be bought or looted from a boss — it is obtained through a short story chain.

  • The starting point is the demon advisor Calydus in the warlock class hall, who sets you on the scepter's trail.
  • The introductory quest of the chain is Finding the Scepter; it leads you to the Western Plaguelands, to the ruins of Caer Darrow, where a ritual of the Shadow Council is being prepared.
  • The artifact is handed over as a reward for the quest Ritual Ruination, in which you snatch the scepter right out from under the schemes of Gul'dan.
  • The chain is the shortest of the three warlock branches, so the base appearance is unlocked the fastest.
  • The artifact can only be obtained by a warlock; on other classes the staff will not be added to the appearance collection.

Who It Suits Visually

  • It harmonizes with any sets in the fel-green palette — Legion warlock tier and sets themed around the Burning Legion.
  • It fits demonic and fel-touched armor concepts with a green glow and a spiked silhouette.
  • It contrasts with light cloth armor — the sharp demonic silhouette looks debatable but striking on "holy" sets.
  • It looks great with appearances themed around Draenor and orcish heritage thanks to the lore connection to Ner'zhul.
  • The hidden appearance with its rich crimson glow works for "hellish" and infernal looks.

Tips

1

The hidden appearance is unlocked by the item inv_staff_2h_artifactsargeras_d_05The Burning Jewel of Sargeras; it has a chance to drop from demons summoned by the doomsday ritual through a warlock ability.

2

Summon ritual demons regularly — the hidden appearance drop is random, and consistency matters more here than a one-time stroke of luck.

3

The base and upgraded appearances are the fastest: simply completing the class campaign is enough, with no raids or rating required.

4

The valorous appearance requires clearing Legion raids, so set aside several weeks of farming for it.

5

The battle-hardened appearance and its tints are tied to your honor level — accumulate it in any PvP activities.

6

On outdated Legion content the chain can be soloed in a few minutes, and your character's level does not matter.

7

All appearances and tints are tied to the artifact itself rather than to a specific character, and remain available in the wardrobe after Legion.

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.
