Overview

Skypiercing Drillstaff

Game iconSkypiercing Drillstaff is a two-handed staff from The War Within expansion. The model is styled after the mining gear of the earthen dwarves of Khaz Algar: a massive drill head of darkened metal, twisted supports, and glowing inlays along the haft. The silhouette is deliberately industrial — this is not a magical rod but a heavy engineering tool turned into a weapon.

The item quality is uncommon (green), and the required level is 70. The appearance suits specializations that use staves: druids, hunters, monks, shamans, priests, warlocks, and mages. Thanks to its "technical" look, the staff fits easily into the sets of mechanics, engineers, and underground prospectors.

Source

The appearance is acquired from a vendor for delve currency; no separate group or raid is required.

  • Vendor — Sir Finley Mrrgglton, who stands in the Explorers' Headquarters in the center of the city of Dornogal on the Isle of Dorn.
  • Currency — Undercoin, the account-wide currency of The War Within.
  • Resonance crystals drop for completing delves, from the chests inside them, and for many other activities across Khaz Algar.
  • The purchase is a one-time unlock for the appearance: once bought, the look is added to your appearance collection and available to every character on the account.
  • No rating, reputation, or prior quest chain is required — you simply need to reach Dornogal and save up the currency.

The easiest way to reach Dornogal is through a portal from your own capital: the city serves as the main hub of The War Within, and portals to it exist in Stormwind and Orgrimmar.

Who It Suits Visually

  • Harmonizes with plate and mail sets in a dark-steel palette — the underground gear of the earthen dwarves of Khaz Algar.
  • Suits an "engineer" or "prospector" concept: the staff reads as a drilling tool rather than a magical rod.
  • Contrasts with the light cloth sets of priests and mages — a debatable but memorable choice for a "dark technomage" image.
  • Pairs well with looks in the industrial palette of Dornogal's mechanics and smiths.

Tips

1

Check your balance of resonance crystals in advance: they are often spent on gear and upgrades, so save the currency deliberately for the appearance.

2

Resonance crystals accumulate fastest by regularly running higher-tier delves — the higher the tier, the bigger the reward.

3

Browse the full stock of the vendor in a single visit: related weapon appearances are sold alongside the staff, letting you assemble a unified set.

4

The purchase unlocks the appearance account-wide, so there is no need to buy it again on other characters.

5

To preview it, use the wardrobe in any city — that way you can see in advance how the staff looks with your armor set.

6

Since the staff is of uncommon quality, it has no tie to rating or season: the appearance remains available from the vendor permanently, so there is no rush.
