The Warglaive of Azzinoth items are among the most sought-after items in all of World of Warcraft. These weapons drop from Illidan Stormrage in upcoming Black Temple raid. Players in The Burning Crusade Classic are about to get their first attempts at defeating Illidan and obtaining the Warglaives when Phase 3 raids release on January 27th.
