Quel ' Serrar < onlyinclude > < / onlyinclude > Quel ' Serrar is an ancient blade , forged by dragons long ago and gifted to the kaldorei . Its twin , Quel ' Delar , was similarly gifted to the quel ' dorei . For thousands of years , Quel ' Serrar has been kept in the care of the Shen ' dralar Ancient s , waiting for one capable of restoring the blade . Although dated , it is rather rare to see an " original " Quel ' serrar , and is considered a testament to Classic Raiding . Source . Quel ' Serrar itself is not a drop like many other items , but a quest . The quest , though , starts by using an item that drops from Dire Maul bosses , . The droprate is so extremely low that it is considered impossible to farm for it . Since this book does not bind , it can be found in the Auction House . When you get the , you start the quest by handing in the book to Lorekeeper Lydros in the library of Dire Maul . He gives you an item , . The quest requires you to take this blade to Onyxia ' s Lair , and place it on the ground where it needs to be hit by one of Onyxia ' s AoE fire breath . Once hit the blade will turn into a , which you can then pick up , and use it to stab Onyxia ' s dead body once you slay her . This will transform the sword again , giving you a . Proceed to the Dire Maul library once more , and hand in the quest . The reward is . Conversation with Lorekeeper Lydros . < Lydros reaches into his robe and presents you with a dull , flat elven blade . > In ages past well before even the War of the Ancients , there existed this blade . The blade itself had to be crafted in ceremony with the children of the Aspects . A rare occurence indeed . . . For not only would a dragon have to willingly heat and mold the enchanted metal with their breath , they would also need to contain the fury of their own enchantment by using their blood as temper . Over the course of 8 , 000 years , only a handful of these blades were created - each blade unique in both power and appearance . The blades of Quel ' Serrar would take on the characteristics of their creator . Rumors exist of a single , legendary blade of Quel ' Serrar crafted for an unknown entity by the combined might of the five Aspects . Before the abominations of Nefarian and Deathwing were thrust into our world , such meetings of the Aspect were represented by the term ' Prismatic . ' I could only assume that the Prismatic Blade of Quel ' Serrar was a most glorious creation . What I offer to you now is one such blade , unfired , unheated , untreated - the most raw and basic form . Now you merely need to find a dragon that will willing enchant the blade . If you had an eternity to live , this might be a possibility ; but since you are mortal and could very likely cease to exist at any moment , might I recommend trying to persuade one of the lesser dragons to do your bidding . Have you heard of the brood mother of the Black Flight ? I believe she is called Onyxia . . . Notes . When the quest is failed . Many things can happen that could fail the quest . Onyxia can miss the with her fire breath , you can mistakenly use the somewhere randomly , someone can skin her before you stab her with the etc . Simply abandon the quest you got from Lorekeeper Lydros , destroy the if you still have it and return to the Dire Maul library to get another and the same quest once again . In other words , you will not have to get another .
