The best MS weapon ever RETURNS!

Commento di 230703

Has a use effect that makes you play a guitar, quite cool if you ask me.

ARCANITE ~~REAPER~~ RIPPER HOOOO!

Commento di Gravis

This weapon has an on use effect that turns you into a guitar god.

You rock out for about 10 seconds turning into an undead as you do and a green exsplosion comes out from around you when you've finished laying out some epic tunes.

It's on a 1 minute cooldown too, so any and all down time in your instance runs or raids should be made into a jam session. :D

Commento di Hwang

Tenris Mirkblood, who drops this axe, is a part of the Scourge Invasion event for Wrath of the Lich King. Once the event ends, which will probably be at the expansion's release, you will be unable to acquire this item.

Edit: Apparently Mirkblood will disappear before the expansion. He will probably disappear after the Nov 4 server maintenance.

Commento di 224296

This is a must get for warrior veterans that has played WoW Vanilla. Not only it's like the Arcanite ~~Reaper~~ Ripper, but it has an awesome use feature to it.

Commento di 194672

Good ol' days, when Arcanite Reaper was the greatest item in the game.

Commento di 146819

There should be 4 more items like this, one for each of the other members of the Tauren Chieftains. Performing a short "concert" after downing a final boss in Heroic Mode would make people feel so much more bad-ass.

Commento di CetraTezirit

Got this on my warrior just now. Positivly BEAUTIFUL. Hits fairly hard, good for an MS Warrior / Retadin / Hunter. Although for hunters, you can get near instantly better.

Has a Minute Cooldown for the hidden Use effect.

Edit: Added the Minute Cooldown

Commento di 51991

I have this and am able to use it so I can't vouch for being able to use the clicky w/o equipping the axe.

I really doubt it though. I had it for a while before I found out about the fun effect. It's great!

Commento di 194723

Is it crazy to craft the Arcanite Reaper again to DW it with this new one?

Commento di 33153

If they made it so the different instruments were accessable to all classes that would be nice too.

Drums = 1 Hand Mace (for rogues)
Singer = Staff (for casters)
Bass/other guitar = 2hand sword...and...polearm (why not)

This is the best item in the game

Commento di 204105

So, any other classes unable to use 2h axes feel jipped as well?

Commento di Bloodanger

Will this be obtainable after the scourge event?

Commento di 116751

Do enchants show up on this? I just got mine and I'm going to put 'goose on it.

Commento di HackJack

If you want to hear the sound effect just make a macro with
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Events\\ArchaniteRipper.wav")
and pop it whenever you want.

Commento di Netheral

Just wanted to mention that the use effect can stack with some other appearance enhancing effects, hallows end candy for example, I managed to stack both ghost, enlarging and the use effect all together. Making you a big, floating, transparent, guitar-playing zombie! :D
Screenie on the way.

Edit; noggenfogger works as well (shrinking).

Commento di Stripfiguur

compared to legacy (the kz uber hunter weapon), this one has;

+2 Stamina
+ 24 crit rating (1.09% @ L70).
+ 32 AP

- 40 agility
- 8 mp5

if you have the choice between these two axes like I did yesterday, Legacy is the 'better' choice.
however since wotlk is out soon and epic weapons of this level will be replaced as you reach L76 or so, I chose to pass on legacy and needed on the arcanite ripper because of it's old school look.

when choosing a memento, it's looks > stats :)

Commento di 119299

10 Ganks per second!

Commento di Madril

In order to play the guitar you must have it equipped, however after equipping the axe there is NO 30 sec cooldown as with most trinkets and other on use items.

Commento di goblinlord

It is certainly possible to 2-man this boss.

Warrior prot spec, wearing DPS accessories (trinket neck rings DPS) and 4 piece t6 set for shield slam dmg.

Shaman Resto spec full healing, t6+sunwell gear

Took us about 20 minutes, kiting him around and me (resto sham) with flametongue meleeing him-

Warrior put about 800~ dps, I was doing about 200 with shocks/melee when I could.

When the boss gets to 40%, he starts Blood Tapping, healing himself for around 17k quite often- it's just a matter of wearing him down 1% at a time.

Good luck! :)

why mace for rogues when theres tauren playing a guitar :P

The use emote for this is badass. Nuff' said.

Commento di 243815

This weapon is very good if you just hit 70 and have enough gear to do kara but not to get Merc gear in enough time for WotLK It is very good for Northrend

For a Hunter, this is a fairly sizable downgrade from both the Sonic Spear and Blackened Spear in terms of DPS. Rolling on it will not make you any friends in the Warrior/Pally department.

The stats on the Arcanite Ripper are sub-par when compared to most purple-named weapons available at level 70, let alone comparing it to blue items mostly used by hunters prior to running kara. In the armory, I count no less than 112 suggested upgrades over this axe (Arcanite Ripper) for stats. Anyone who passes on this weapon is giving up the TRINKET-effect, not necessarily stats.

People who reason that this is a tank-only weapon are the same sort of jerks who would tell hunters (and other classes, prolly including Warlocks) that they shouldn't roll on the Horseman's Blade. The same deal applies: if the player can equip it, then why not roll on it? After all, we're on the cusp of obtaining far better weapons over these lvl 70 purples with ok stats, but uber-awesome trinket-effects. Not all weapons are Warrior/Pally "first dibs" items.

The days of hunters being the perceived loot ninjas have gotta be over, especially when considering how many Rogues have rolled on/been awarded Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury in the past few months, prior to patch 3.0 and all.

Commento di 234381

Can anyone confirm that this guy is gone? I know most places said "10 Days" but he stayed after the initial 10 days, so i was wondering if maybe, just maybe blizz left him there even after the reset....

Commento di Askevar

As of November 15, the boss is not in kara. We opened the door to find an empty room.

Commento di McBayne

Well maybe someone has already asid that but....

ARCANITE REAPER HOOOOOO!

Commento di Interest

This item most definitely goes to eleven.

Commento di 173862

ARCANITE RIPPER HO----It's just not the same..*Crys*

Commento di 299362

I remember being in SW with two other paladins with this axe, and I lined up with them, used the "use" effect and put on a show. We got a big crowd cheering us on. personally one of my favorite weps.

Commento di Wezagred

Needs skull on both sides.
Really.

Commento di 227695

michael angelo batio can dual weild that :b

Commento di Rhelan

Would be so cool to dual-wield.

Commento di 320554

I must say, being a true fan of all things metal, this is a DREAM novelty item. I frequently get comments on this item, and it seems that alot of people were not aware of the hidden Use effect on this weapon, which makes it all the more enjoyable to own, even more-so after the amazing graphic change.

Commento di 313066

it seems the use effect will be listed on the weapon come patch 3.1

Commento di Garon132

They changed the way the item looks when equipping it as a weapon. :X
It used to look like an Arcanite Reaper HOOOO with a green glow now its the guitar it turned into when you used the effect.

Make me more sad blizz.

Commento di 337311

I WANT THIS SOO BAD!

Commento di 222832

Arcanite Reaper becomes....Arcanite Ripper! <awesome guitar sounds>

Commento di 326049

saw someone with one of these, he was in IF melting some faces, it even said that in the spell buff he had

Commento di 307930

ARCANITE RIPPER! HOOO!
Thought I'd do it.

Commento di 363150

can anybody link the items that complete the band Tauren Chieftains?

Commento di 379435

The idea about Arcanite Ripper is cool, the whole super awesome rock thing, but Blizzard are actually pretty lazy, cuz while they could make new models for all races they just used the undead guitarist bergrisst model. Blizz next time you want to impress gamers do a little more work, k?
P.S. GIEF ME MAH GNOME BASS MODELZ!

Commento di PegasisMcMaster

so can u even get this anymore and if u can where at

Commento di 386744

"Dont touch it!", "I wasnt!" "yes you were!" "no... i was just pointing at it" "huh" "can i look at it?" "NO! dont even look at it!"

Commento di 159214

The use buff says:

Arcanite Ripper
Time to Melt Some Faces
12 seconds remaining

Effect is: Apply Aura: Transform (23619), so it transforms you into Bergrisst.
Just awesome.

Commento di 425699

omg hardly anyone mentioned that this is the guitar used by, and transforms you into, the undead guitarist from the L70ETC.

shame on you all

Commento di 264017

You turn into Bergrisst from the lvl 80 Elite Tauren Chieftan

Commento di 314819

can you still get it or not? (aug 14/09) with WotLK

This item should have the "No longer available to players" tag. It only existed for that brief period before Wrath.

but

Added in Wrath of the Lich King

in the quick facts.

Commento di yxes

Yeah i got the axe, i love the new model. I sometimes use it when people are drinking in raids.

Commento di PinktheDK

no. it's currently unobtainable. Too bad, too. My Belfadin has one, and my warriors wants it >_<

Commento di 243261

It might be tied with Halloween instead of Wrath, the two events coincided, so we'll see in a few months to which of the two it was connected. :)

Commento di dracolord

The Arcanite Ripper is connected with the Scourge Invasion event, the boss that dropped it was also connected to this event, and after the event ended with Buring Crusade, the boss was removed.
The event was an opening for WOTLK so its very unlikely we will see this boss again, and chances to get this axe are slim to none.

Commento di mixter

looking at the disenchanted tab makes me sad

Commento di Mozedo

Arcanite Solo HOOO!

Commento di 489843

umm....i read a few comments and i still don't know, i thought they took it out of the game, is it back?

Commento di 491268

Just to note: ENCHANTING IT WITH MONGOOSE DOES NOT WORK.

It is a shame though, it would have been x2 as awesome.

Commento di 502339

This weapon is nice! Can you only loot it in a specific time of year? Or is it always there? (sorry for the noob question) >.<

Commento di 54981

I love this item. I bust it out in dalaran and people like "WOAH WHERE DO YOU GET THAT" "I WANT THAT". And im like, "you cant anymore" and they QQ.

makes my day.

While goin at the Lich King, equip this.
When you rezz, /y Arcanite Reaper HOOOOOO!, and start playing the music.

Commento di 535011

I believe the undead you turn into is one of the guitarists of "The Tauren Cheiftans".

Commento di 529755

Macro it with some Tenacious D, and have a good time.
Master Exploder comes to mind.

Commento di yxes

WTB smoke coming from the guitar while playing. His fingers are burnin'!

Commento di 193408

Although this weapon is nothing more than a novelty item for most players (those who got it at 70 won't be raiding with it at 80), it still has its perks.

New players (the new ones who joined after the WotLK released) who never saw this weapon before, it's always funny to play this in Dalaran, SW or any other major city and have people whisper you asking "wtf was that?" To which I reply "wtf was what?" ;)

Same with the Headless Horseman's Helmet.

Commento di 308820

This weapon should be legendary. That is all.

Here´s the macro i use when i feel like melting some faces :P

/use Piccolo of the Flaming Fire
/use Arcanite Ripper
/say Time to Melt Some Faces!

You know what to do ;)

Commento di Morthel

Would just like to add that in my characters statistics, under the achievement tab, it claims I have obtained 1 legendary item. I have never looted a legendary item to date - that is one with an orange name - but I have this axe in the bank. Does anybody else share this statistic?, as I think Blizzard has noted this weapon down as Legendary in-game.

If this is the case, I can definitely say that I agree. Rock on! :P

Commento di Hyperlynx

Yo dawg we heard you like pwnage so we put an axe in yo axe so you can shred while you shred.

Who can say me other names of guitars and other....Instruments

Commento di Froswaldthegreat

After hearing the sound for it I went to use it on my hunter (I know I know, bad weapon for hunters) but when I logged in, I suddenly remembered I had sold it to a vendor.

I kicked myself ingame, IRL, and spiritually. Many times.

Commento di 398845

I have this Weapon on my Old Main who is now my Main Alt >.<
It is the coolest little gimmick, I whack it on and rock it out in the AH on a busy night, massive show off factor.

Commento di Blackbeardswe

3 words:

THANK YOU BLIZZARD

With patch 4.3 i can finally use the looks of this weapon again, omg omg omg im so excited!.

Commento di Trev81

For those of us who possess a 'Ripper AND also happen to have a Piccolo of the Flaming Fire from Hearthsinger Forresten are in a unique position for optimal face melting. Assuming you have both items equipped, create a macro that contains:

/use Piccolo of the Flaming Fire
/use Arcanite Ripper

This will cause you to rock out and also cause all nearby players to dance, resulting in impromptu 10 second rock concerts. I find it works best in the auction house, as there are both a high concentration of players there as well as a "stage" you can perform on.

Don't forget to /bow after you've BLOWN EVERYONE'S MIND.

Commento di hordewins

I hope they bring it back ,but then what are the chances of that happening

Commento di 515828

Has anyone started a request to bring the item back on the WoW forum as a transmog item? It would lose the awesome riffing animation so if there was a way to keep an original version to allow for that too it would be great.

Commento di Xerxus

In 5.0 Hunters will lose the ability to wear melee weapons...
which means we won't be able to wear this D:

Not too happy about it. I like to bust this out once in a while.

Edit:

Class Design & Balance Live Q&A posted November 9, 2011:

Q: Will hunters be able to equip melee weapons instead of a ranged weapon in MoP, even if just for show ?
A: Yes.

Thank God.

Commento di Eighjan

I still have this & still remember running all over Classic zones looking for the Plague Spreader attacks, gathering 'runes' to get non-drop Epic Armour pieces (Blessed Battlegear of Undead Slaying, for this DPS Warrior) & Tabard of the Argent Dawn (Feat of Strength achievement since)...

The Event this item (and the other items mentioned here) was available from was the equivalent to Wrath of the Lich King of the Elementals running riot in Stormwind/Orgrimmar before Cataclysm released.

Tenris was an Event-only Boss added to Karazhan, iirc... he also dropped Vampiric Batling (Feat of Strength achievement, too).

"This item is no longer available within the game." Saddest text I've ever seen on the internet, ever. This beast of a weapon will not die, however. It will live on eternally.

This weapon has an on use effect that turns you into a guitar god

You rock out for about 10 seconds turning into an undead as you do and a green exsplosion comes out from around you when you've finished laying out some epic tunes.

It's on a 1 minute cooldown too

This item might be making a return in Mists of Pandaria, in the form of . Possibly on the Black Market Auction House </speculation>.

Commento di calixtus

Hi, guys just wanna say i´m a proud owner of this weapon :P and for those who don´t know how you got it you needed to do the kara event that was only a week and the week before Wotlk to kill the bat and you would also get a bat companion that i´m a proud owner of too :P Have a nice day.

When using the ripper, tell a friend to pop a Potion of illusion!

Could be the most awesome thing ingame!

Commento di 1003879

This weapon will be available in MoP you can buy it on the Black Market Auction House.
It won't be cheap though.
Cuz the bidding starts around the 10k-20k so.

Commento di caredude

As of 5.0.4 in MoP beta this item will be obtainable again through Black Market Auction House.

Let the bid war begin!

Commento di Aluminum

This thing needs to be an heirloom like YESTERDAY! The achievement is going account wide anyways, so get on it devs :)

Ideally it would be level 61 required similar in style to the fun archeology heirlooms since we already have a self-leveling 2h axe.

Whatever though, I'll take anything that turns it BoA, even if it has no stats.

Commento di Allakhazam

where it says Equip________ and there is nothing, you can add +102 attack power to it. Guildie got it last night

Commento di Allakhazam

I just got this from the event boss in Karazahn.
When you "use" this item, it turns you into the undead guitar guy from the tauren chieftains, some metal music appears and you headbang ;) usable every minute
The use tooltip isnt shown ingame.

This Axe just dropped for me in Karazahn too! WOOOOT! Shade of Aran dropped it. Awesome and Fun weapon to wield. When equipped, right click it and you instantly turn into an Metal playin, Undead Rocker! Metal riff plays in the background while you're rockin' out! I wish it buffed the group/party or something....that would be PIMP! Has a nice green glow to it!

A surprisingly durable weapon on my hunter, I didn't replace it until Icier Barbed Spear at 75. I also Titan-Gripped it on my warrior for a while, but I forget when exactly I had to put it in the bank.
