TBC Classic Druid Weapons Guide

Druids can use Daggers, Fist Weapons, Staves, and Maces, as well as off-hands and idols in the ranged slot. While most classes swing their melee weapons in combat, dealing damage according to the DPS of the weapon itself, this is not the case for Feral Druids.

Cat Form and Bear Form have normalized auto-attacks, and scale only with attack power and other secondary stats, ignoring a weapon's damage range and speed. Ability damage is also calculated using these normalized values, making weapon damage meaningless. To compensate for this, some items have extra attack power that is only applied to Feral Druid forms, such as Staff of Natural Fury.

Druid already know how to use one-handed maces (Tauren) or daggers (Night Elf) and staves when created, and can learn how to use the rest of their potential weapons from the Weapon Masters around the world.

Druids cannot use Axes, Wands, Swords, Polearms, Crossbows, Bows, Guns, Thrown weapons, or Shields.

Look for weapons that have good stats for your specialization; Agility and Strength for Feral, Spell/Nature/Arcane damage and Intellect for Balance, Healing, Intellect and Spirit for Restoration. You can often find weapons with good stats in the auction house, but remember to be conscious with your gold, as you will also want to be able to train skills and buy your riding skills and associated mounts as you level up.

We will list a few of the most notable weapons you can get while leveling below.

• Crescent Staff is a quest reward from Leaders of the Fang, which can be done in Wailing Caverns. Due to its very high stats, you will be able to use it for a long time;
• Manual Crowd Pummeler drops from Crowd Pummeler 9-60 in Gnomeregan and has great stats, as well as an amazing on-use effect;
• Viscous Hammer is a bind on equip world drop and has incredibly good stats for the level you can equip it at, you can easily use it until you reach TBC content!
• Illusionary Rod in Scarlet Monastery: Library and Mograine's Might from Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral are both very strong weapons for Balance and Feral Druids, respectively;
• Balance Druids will also enjoy Zum'rah's Vexing Cane from Zul'Farrak, which is usually quite easy to obtain!
• The Rockpounder is obtained in Uldaman and has great offensive stats for Feral, as does the Fist of Omokk, which you can obtain in Lower Blackrock Spire, just before heading into Outland;
• For Ferals, once you arrive at Hellfire Peninsula, you can get Agamaggan's Quill from one of the very first TBC quests. Upgrade it to Ursol's Claw in Hellfire Ramparts, and again to Staff of Beasts by doing the Ring of Blood questline in Nagrand at Level 65, which will last you until you are maximum level!
• Balance and Restoration Druids can progress similarly from The Staff of Twin Worlds into Crystalfire Staff and then Battle Mage's Baton (or Mogor's Anointing Club) until Level 70.
• Idols wise, Idol of the Wild comes from the Colossal Menace quest, which you can pick up at the Cenarion Post in Hellfire Peninsula, near the Zangarmarsh border. This is an exceptional Feral idol, especially for leveling!
