This recipe drops in the Netherstorm off of the Sunfury Bloodwarders

Commentaire de seidule

This plan is very rare. I've spent days farming it...

Commentaire de 18724

Dropped off probably my 50th kill of these mobs.
35 or so actually farming it and 15-20 killed while questing.

I'd say it has around the same drop rate as any of the other BoP smithing recipes.

Commentaire de 29803

I found it pretty quickly, (on my 15th or so mob) but i guess it was just luck.

Commentaire de 32819

I just picked up this recipe, though I'm not yet at 375 BSing to learn it.

I have a question about it, for those who've been able to see it used in action. Does the rune absorb all 4000 damage up front, before you take any damage yourself? (Judging from reading the spell it would seem this way, but I'm not sure) Or will it absorb damage in increments... something along those lines?

Commentaire de 17624

It occurs to me that the drop rate as reported is almost certainly not the true droprate: This item should only appear for Blacksmiths, but lots of non-blacksmiths also kill these mobs. Also, does it still drop once you have already have in posession or have learned the recipe?

Commentaire de Tigraine

Would be somehow interesting to find out how this was supposed to work.
4k dmg is quite mutch, and you usually don't have the time during a tough fight to attach this one to your shield haven't you?
And from a Warrior's perspective I would never want to absorb 4k dmg especially not at the beginning of a fight.. Absorbing through armor is ok, you still generate rage.. but absorbing 4k for 0 rage really puts too mutch of an aggro-loss to be really helpful.

Haven't tried it yet though.

was grinding 69-70 and got it, didnt even know it dropped - lucky me! Also got another recipie for a rare gem :)

Commentaire de 39823

Took me 60 kill to get it. Be sure to keep an eye on the elite patrol that walks over the area.

Good luck!

Commentaire de 57559

Got this off my first kill, pure luck :D now 2 get my BSing up 2 use it.

Commentaire de 64896

lol, I was thinking about farming these plans. And then they drop for me from the first Bloodwarder I kill while doing a quest!

Lucky me! :D

Commentaire de Thanon

well first of all 4K for 0 rage is a bad thing. also 4K means only 1 to 3 hits against magtheridon, void reaver, gruul etc. i think MT shouldn't use this item due aggro holding problems. couse you know first seconds are most critical phase while building aggro under heavy fire.

but OT's may use it. if MT dies and boss turned to OT theres always a healing problem for 2-5 secs and that rune may help you to survive at those seconds. just a theory didnt try it yet .

Commentaire de 58319

dropped for me from a Sunfury Bloodwarder, the first one I killed with my war, lol.

Commentaire de 73063

Just to be certain anyone got co ords. because i muct have killed atleast 2000 and still no drop><

Commentaire de rchasman

Wow, I was grinding these and i got it in 9 kills, sucks for the people that killed 100+ times

Commentaire de Saladin

There might be an In-Game bug on this item, because I have these plans, and they're called "Plans: Greater Rune of Shielding", not Ward.
It is the same item, it absorbs 4000 damage, and is made from 1 eternium bar, but it's called a Rune of shielding instead.
Hope this might clear up any future problems for people thinking they've looted the wrong item, or can't find theirs on Wowhead.

Commentaire de 58128

MT warriors this would suck. but..MT paladins. I think this would be very nice. Most of a paladins agro is the shield block reflect and consecration, at least at first. and I do believe that block / parry / dodge are in play before the absorb on this. so you would lose no agro. *shrugs* Would be worth trying anyway.

Commentaire de 58308

I started to farm on this and it dropped from second Bloodwarder i killed. cool

Commentaire de 26234

I dont normally use this in boss fights. But it comes in really handy when you are tanking the shammy in the fathom lord encounter. That shammy can do some really really nasty burst damage. Most of the time you will have a hunter MD you to start the fight and your initial aggro for 20 sec will be based on his damage out put. This warding will be gone inthe first 3 sec of the fight and gives your healers a little bit of a break to start out. It is no different than dodging the first blow of a fight up to 4k damage. You can stack this with a pws and the chest rune or warding as well. That allows for over 5k damage to be absorbed on a fight durring the inital 5 seconds of the pull thus allowing your healers to not premtively pull healing aggro.

In addition, these are hella cheap to make. btw, these can not be put on durring battle if i remember correctly.

Commentaire de 44090

I'm going to farm this on my prot paladin...you can front load your threat without rage concerns and for a fight like void reaver where an early orb can bomb your healers it can be a help.

Commentaire de 55673

is this item usable in arenas?

Commentaire de 97880

As Snofire Pointed out, this is not necessarily meant to be for tanks. Yes is would serve a prot pally well who does not need to build up rage. However, it would be extremely useful for a paladin healer. Assuming said healer was using a shield, as most do, this would greatly mitigate the damage caused by a random charge or aggro related phenomenon. Currently, there are no uber shield enchants that would make this futile; I'd gladly give up my +11 int on my shield for 4000 pts of damage absorption. Sure, it requires an eternium bar for each rune, but hell.... for miners, this is cake.

Commentaire de 102562

So, I was gonna grind for this thing. Had my shit set up for like a hour grinding or so, then on second mob it dropped. I belive that if you got it on your 50th kill or something like that your just unlucky. Think the drop rate is way higher than that.

Commentaire de 98635

Confirmed. Got lucky and it dropped off my 8th Bloodwarder kill.

Commentaire de 127268

Also got pretty lucky on this drop. 6th kill.

Commentaire de Bayushizero

Decided to go farm Tomes today, and it drops on the first Bloodwarder kill.

I didn't even know it dropped here. Lucky that I'm a Blacksmithing Rogue(love the maces!), and now this puppy should make me some gold.

Commentaire de Omnia

I have So much luck when it comes to blacksmithing plans. When i was farming for felsteel gloves, they dropped off the 4th Mob. And just as i sit down and get ready for farm these plans, they drop off of the FIRST F***ING GUY I KILLED!

Commentaire de 134861

kill 2 guys then looted and it was on second guy i killed. wasnt trying for it or anything just got lucky. :)

Commentaire de 117276

just started questing in Netherstorm. doing quests around where the guys who drop them are. i got 2 drops of this plan in 5 kills :) too bad im not 375 BS yet

Commentaire de 27699

been farming the bloodwarders for the sunfury attack plans for about 2 weeks now, got the plan every day of these guys but no recipe yet >.< i hate these random drop chance recipies maybe i should see if i cant bribe lady luck

Commentaire de 148700

I got it on my 9th kill and a guildmate got it in 20 kills or so.

Commentaire de BlackKnight6667

I've killed about 350 of them and still no drop. I must be one of the unluckiest ones yet!!

Commentaire de Volsong

Got mine on my 5th kill while waiting for invites to Tempest Keep. I advise any BSers out there waiting on TK dungeons/raids to farm for this if they're waiting. =P

Commentaire de 70039

This just dropped for me at a 1% drop rate on my 101st kill, according to Mobinfo addon

Commentaire de 185761

Got it on my 8th kill, i'm so lucky :/

Commentaire de gravelayer

Finally dropped after 3 weeks of doing the sunfury attack plan daily....near daily. At least 250 kills.

Commentaire de Draemon

Just a thought, it's been said that this cannot be applied whilst in combat, however it says nothing about applying it to a Shield in your bags (eg. Kaz'rogal's Hardened Heart). After a while of doing Hyjal, you're going to run out of people to give the various Shield's too, and it wouldn't be too hard for a MT to pick up a 2nd Shield of either the same sort, or of equivalent item level.

Thinking along the lines of Caster Oil's, it wouldn't be too far fetched to assume you could apply this to a Shield, bag it, and change Shields during combat when the 4000 damage absorption is required.

Commentaire de DaVoid

just wondering, do you have to have a certain lvl of blacksmithing, 350 or higher for example, to see this drop or do you just have to be a blacksmith regardless of its current skill lvl?

Commentaire de davidthemonkey

This thing + http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25521 is insanely IWIN in pvp, picture if you will. Your in WSG and u hav both of these things applied, you run into mid field and BAM! a rogue ambushes u.....for 4 damamge (4000 absorbed) that rogue has just exposed him/herself and u hav taken little/no damage, then the rune of warding procs and thats his/her poisens/auto attacks absorbed for a second or 2 while u beat the crap outa them. Then when u get the flag put another one on and watch them try to kill you.
Also THIS ABSORBS ATTACKS FROM BEHIND!

thats all from me.

Ive started to love these as a holydin, absorbing 4k of any damage coming my way can be a real lifesaver, be it a loose add or an aoe. Enough time for the tank to grab it back.

Commentaire de Sugardaddy

Dropped after 97th kill of bloodwarders - about 1hour worth of farming around.

Commentaire de 607803

Dropped after my 7th kill. Less than 2 minutes and it dropped.

Commentaire de hobbesmarcus

They must have upped the drop rate for this. I have absolutely terrible luck when it comes to farming patterns, but these dropped on my third kill.

Commentaire de heine123

Can't belive i was this lucky, but mine dropped off the first kill. O.o

Commentaire de 337260

Looted after 123 kills, tracked by MobInfo2.

Commentaire de bwappo

Took me between 30-40 Sunfury Bloodwarder kills to get this recipe to drop for my blacksmith.

Edit: took me about 30 kills for my second blacksmith.

Commentaire de helver

So if you're having trouble finding the Bloodwarder spawn points, the following may help:

They often spawn near the Sunfury banners outside Magister camps, and at the door for the Mana Forge
They have camps with Red covered wagons in the areas around the Geologists.
They have their own camps to the West of the Mana Forge and between the Mana Forge and Area 52.
Sunfury Captains will often be patrolling between the Bloodwarders.
Bloodwarders do not share spawn points with any other mobs - so you can kill only the Bloodwarders.

As a level 85 ret paladin, I was able to clear all spawns faster than they were able to respawn. However, there are enough spawns that I was able to make full circuits and farm at least one per camp all the way around.

I got mine after 335 Bloodwarder kills on 5/9/2012 in patch 4.3.4.

Commentaire de 962691

just farmed this in 9 minutes. had to kill 43 bloodwarders. in the location on the map above. tres facille.

Commentaire de Kemaria

If you're waiting for Sunfury Bloodwarders to respawn while grinding for this recipe, here's something you can do: Go across the border into Blade's Edge Mountains to Forge Camp: Anger, and kill the Garde de Colère for Plans : Heaume Rage-acier. Forge Camp: Anger and Manaforge B'naar are very close together, so it helps to grind these two recipes at the same time.

Commentaire de tatietot

Got this after killing roughly 30 Sunfury Bloodwarders. Goodluck to the rest of you!

Commentaire de addmydataz

Update for Comments section, 25 Feb 2019. Took the advice of Kemaria, who has posted here and on the page for the Plans: Ragesteel Helm. After killing the 9 Anger Guards in Forge Camp: Anger and being stuck waiting for them to respawn, I sallied over to Manaforge B'naar, pinpointing the various groups of Sunfury Bloodwarders posted on the outskirts of the Manaforge and near the entrances to it. The Bloodwarders are stationary, with the occasional Sunfury Captain patrolling among a group of them. They are fairly easy to pull one at a time, at most two. I didn't even get halfway around the Manaforge before the plans dropped, when I pulled Bloodwarder #'s 10 and 11 at the same time as a Captain. Gave all three the Beat-Down and looted the 3 corpses at once, and there were the Plans. I was not expecting them to drop THAT quick.

Commentaire de MrFhtagn

drops without full skill had 73/75 dropped after around 30 kills

Commentaire de Lungtau

I've spent at least four evenings now just one-shot'ing Sunfury Bloodwarders. I've amassed hundreds of Sunfury Signets, if that helps quantify how many kills. I'm pretty sure this doesn't "just drop" any longer. Perhaps my toon (Level 60) is too high a level for this to drop now, or I need to clear some of the other Sunfury types as well, or I've missed some pre-req quest... I don't know.
