My WoW Journey

Anathema/Benediction

This was an awesome event when I got this staff inVanilla WOW for my priest, what made this staff special was the fact that it was, in my opinion, hands down the best looking staff in World of Warcraft at that time and pretty difficulty to get.

It required almost full Molten Core clears(well up to Majordomo), and a lot of them unless you were very lucky on the drop, then a long and tricky quest chain that at parts needed a 5 man group to complete.

So it gave a certain amount of Kudos to your character to be walking around Ironforge with this beauty equipped.

Oh yes!! and there’s the unique ability to transform it every 30 minutes between the two versions of the staff, the healing version Benediction and the dps version Anathema and you could swap even when in combat.

Originally in ancient Greek the word Anathema meant something that was offered up to God, but through time has come to mean something set apart from God. Sometimes, even accursed. I only put this in as it seemed weird to me how the meaning of things can get so corrupted over time
