Overview

Spire of the Furious Construct

Game iconSpire of the Furious Construct is a two-handed staff added to World of Warcraft in the Warlords of Draenor expansion. It is a weapon with Intellect among its stats, meaning it is designed for caster classes: mages, warlocks, priests, shamans, and druids in specializations that use staves. At max level the staff lost its value as combat gear long ago, but its appearance remains sought after for transmogrification.

The staff's model is styled after the arakkoa: the head resembles a solar mechanism of Rukhmar's devotees, with golden apexis details and a warm glow. The name refers to its source — a guardian golem named Araknath, a "creation of the Sun" that the arakkoa built from the apexis technologies of their ancestors.

Source

The staff drops from the boss Araknath — the second of the four bosses in the Skyreach dungeon. The dungeon itself sits atop the peaks in the Spires of Arak zone on Draenor.

  • Difficulty: a Warlords of Draenor-era dungeon, available in Normal and Heroic modes, and also part of the Mythic dungeon rotation in the Midnight season.
  • Loot type: personal loot, dropping directly from Araknath when the fight ends.
  • Group or solo: at level 90 the entire dungeon can be cleared solo without trouble, no separate group needed.
  • Attempt limit: there are no restrictions; you can enter and reset the dungeon as many times as you like.

Araknath stands on a raised platform in the far part of the dungeon, in a hall with energy columns. Inside the instance the fight location is at roughly 52.4, 61.2 on the dungeon map. The entrance to the dungeon itself is in the northern part of the Spires of Arak zone; the easiest way to get there is to teleport via the dungeon journal or use a portal from your garrison.

Visual Appeal

  • It pairs well with sets in a golden-solar palette — mage and priest looks built around light and fire.
  • It looks great in arakkoa and Draenor themes — alongside armor with brown-gold and feathered textures.
  • A contrasting choice for dark, shadowy warlock sets — the warm head creates a bright accent.
  • It suits shaman and druid looks centered on the element of fire and solar energy.

Tips

1

Before entering, switch the dungeon to Heroic mode at the entrance or through the dungeon journal — it does not make the solo farm harder, but it raises the chance of getting the item you want in a single run.

2

Araknath is only the second of four bosses, so you can leave right after him if you only care about this staff.

3

At level 90 the whole run takes a few minutes, making it convenient to farm alongside other Draenor dungeons.

4

If the item stubbornly refuses to drop, get its twin — the Spire of the Furious Construct from the Midnight version of the dungeon; they share the same appearance and count identically.

5

The staff is meant for Intellect classes, but for transmogrification that does not matter: a weapon's appearance applies by item type, not by stats.

6

You can enter an unlimited number of times — if luck is not on your side, simply reset the dungeon and run it again.
