When it comes to the Ashes of World of Warcraft in the 60s, veteran players must remember it vividly. This purple two-handed sword is not only handsome, but it can also trigger the plot of the Scarlet Monastery, so it is destined to have a high popularity!
However, in the original design, Blizzard originally intended to make the Ash Bringer into an orange weapon, but due to the rush of time, the incomplete story line, or many other factors, the orange Ash Bringer did not appear after all. In the end, it becomes a purple weapon dropped by 4DK.
Still, in the database, we can find this orange ember of ashes.
The orange Ember Bringer item is level 76, has an extremely fast attack speed of 3.0, and has up to 88.0 second damage. The effect is also very powerful, and when hit, it can hit the target, dealing 700 fire damage to it!
I have to say, this special effect is too powerful, it must be much stronger than the special effect of the Flame Hammer! What was the concept of 700 fire damage in the 60s? Veteran players must know it very well. Generally speaking, the normal blood volume of a level 60 character is about 4000, and this special effect can hit 700 blood, which is terrifying to think about!
Since the item is level 76, it is clear that this should be T1. It was clear that Blizzard originally intended to put Ember Bringer in the first version, but it was eventually replaced by the Flame Hammer. After all, it's really bad to have two legendary weapons in one version, which will greatly reduce the value of orange weapons.
Later, after many versions of the story, players knew the story of Ember Bringer too well. At level 80, the Ember Bringer returned from Mograine to Fordin. Later, at level 110, because of Fordin's death, the Ash Bringer finally came to the Punishment Rider and became the corresponding artifact. At this point, the story of the Ember Messenger is completely over, and it can be regarded as a happy end.
Just like Frost Sorrow, although it doesn't appear in the game, it doesn't affect its popularity. However, there is one thing to say, the Ember Bringer is supposed to be an orange weapon, but the Ember Bringer dropped by 4DK is too much of a chicken rib, and almost no one wanted it back then, and it is certainly not as good as Kelsegad's two-handed hammer.
In the 5-player dungeon Escape from Dunhold, there is also the birth process of the Ash Bringer, and it can be seen that Blizzard is really bothered about this artifact!
