Might as well make it relevant, though.

What cool items from the game or lore would you like to see? I really liked the Reforged Blade of Heroes idea. I figure something similar should happen with the Scythe of Elune. Find a fragment, and have a blacksmith be able to repair it, or craft it into a new item. Make it a questline, where you have to get Elune's blessing to control the Worgen-summoning; but give it a proc of "summons a worgen guardian to fight for you for 30 seconds." Make the shard of it a world-drop epic, so it's suitably rare; and maybe make it around a level 35 item (and the worgen the same level, or perhaps scaled to the user's level, capped at 45).

So, it would be something like:

1 - You find (epic) Scythe of Elune broken blade

2 - This item starts a quest. Find someone who knows about the blade (requires you to have done both Scythe of Elune questlines. Go talk to Carevin in Darkshire, who sends you to Darnassus).

3. In Darnassus, need to get Elune's blessing to cleanse it. Have this involve some quest, probably in Ashenvale, where you take the blade to a sacred grove in Ashenvale and summon a level 32 elite demon out of it (spirit of Arugal? Ooooo, tie it into the WotLK!). Kill demon, cleanse tainted blade, bring it back to Darnassus.

4. Find a blacksmith to reforge it into an axe.

5. Enjoy!


Man, quest lines like that would be awesome :) Anyone else have ideas? Incorporate other professions too!

Lovely idea, would wholeheartedly support this quest and reward (probably should be an epic lvl 80 chain IMHO), but what makes you think a Scythe would be an axe?

Srsly annoyed with stupid game programmers and their stupid seasonal events ::grumblegrumble:: My class can successfully wield a hammer or axe the size of a tauren's butt in mortal combat, but take the business end off it and I'm no longer capable of simply standing there with shaft in hand. Absolutely ridiculous!

/e slouches off to beat on another deceased equine.

***********************************************************
Actually, now that I look at the twelve weapons in the game that are dubbed a "Scythe" --

Four are axes (three 1h, one 2h).
Four are polearms.
One is a 2h sword.
Two are fist weapons?!?
And that damned STAFF.

You know, why not make a new weapon class called Scythe or Reaper? It would be pretty cool, and although there aren't many items for it... hell, fist weapons had less than 12 items for the majority of the time the game has been out!
