Overview

Ursol's Claw

Game iconUrsol's Claw is a two-handed staff that originates from The Burning Crusade expansion. Its head is shaped like a massive bear paw with light-brown fur and extended claws, which makes the model instantly recognizable among other staves of that era. The name refers to the ancient guardian Ursol — one of Azeroth's bear demigods, who together with his brother Ursoc was revered by the furbolg tribes. According to legend, Ursol was a skilled carver, and the look of the staff fits this theme of natural, beastly power well.

Back in its day this was a solid weapon for guardian druids and hunters in early The Burning Crusade, but today the staff is valued first and foremost as a transmog. The bear paw on the head makes it a natural choice for druid and shaman looks tied to the wilds.

Source

Ursol's Claw is obtained in the Hellfire Ramparts dungeon — the first wing of the citadel on the Hellfire Peninsula in Outland. Technically the item is listed in the loot of Vazruden the Herald, the final foe of this wing.

  • Vazruden appears mounted on the dragon Nazan and dismounts once the beast is wounded enough.
  • After Vazruden and Nazan die, the Reinforced Fel Iron Chest appears in the hall, and the staff drops from it rather than falling to the ground from the boss himself.
  • The chest opens for the whole group without a key, so it is hard to miss — just don't leave the dungeon right after the fight.
  • The drop chance is low, so a transmog usually requires several repeat runs.
  • At the current max level the dungeon at level 90 is cleared solo with ease, and farming comes down to quick repeat runs.

Who it suits visually

  • It harmonizes with druid looks themed around nature and shapeshifting — the bear paw echoes the bear form.
  • It suits shaman sets in an earthy, beastly palette thanks to the light-brown fur of the head.
  • It pairs with leather sets in warm brown tones without pulling attention to itself.
  • It is a good choice for looks that play on the lore of the ancient guardians and the furbolgs.
  • It contrasts with cold blue and silver sets — a debatable but memorable combination.

Tips

1

Enter Hellfire Ramparts solo at max level — the whole run takes mere minutes.

2

Don't leave the dungeon right after the fight: the staff sits in the chest, which appears only after both foes die.

3

Reset the dungeon and repeat the run if the item didn't drop — there is no limit on the number of attempts per day.

4

The look is available to any class that can wield staves, so you can farm it on a convenient character.

5

If the hunt drags on, keep Braxis's Staff of Slumber and the Wildkin Call in mind — they give the same visual result from other sources.

6

Druids and shamans should plan an earthy-toned armor set in advance so the staff looks like part of a cohesive look.

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.
