Creating Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest

With Phase 3 of Cataclysm comes the new raid Firelands, and with it comes Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest, the first legendary item available for players to earn during Cataclysm. This guide will show you all of the needed steps along the way to acquiring your very own legendary staff!

Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest is acquired across three different stages, each lasting a similar amount of time. Stage one comes with an extremely long quest chain that players must complete quickly in order to proceed with the much shorter stages two and three.

With Cataclysm Classic being much shorter than the original Cataclysm time-frame, Blizzard has increased the acquisition rate for all three stages of the Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest quest line.

Stage	Quest & Requirements	Reward	Weeks needed to complete stage
			10N	10H	25N	25H
1 All-Seeing Eye	25 × Eternal Ember 3 × Sands of Time	Branch of Nordrassil	3-4	3-4	2	1.5-2
2 Time Grows Short	1,000 × Seething Cinder	Runestaff of Nordrassil	3-4	3-4	2	1.5-2
3 Heart of Flame	250 × Smouldering Essence 1 × Heart of Flame	Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest	3-4	3-4	2	1.5-2

The quest chain for Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest can be started in one of two ways. If your character has all three of the following achievements: Blackwing Descent, The Bastion of Twilight, and Throne of the Four Winds, then you can grab A Legendary Engagement from Coridormi in Stormwind, or A Legendary Engagement from Ziradormi in Orgrimmar.

If you do not have the three achievements above, or simply head into the Firelands raid right away, you can begin this quest chain by killing your first Molten Lord trash mob inside the Firelands. Upon the Molten Lord's death, you will get the quest Your Time Has Come / Your Time Has Come, which acts as a simple breadcrumb quest to start your journey towards obtaining Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest.

Stage 1 is a very long quest chain that works on building Branch of Nordrassil, the first version of the legendary staff!

2. All-Seeing Eye
3. On a Wing and a Prayer
4. Through a Glass Darkly
5. Actionable Intelligence

In this stage, you will work on upgrading your staff to Runestaff of Nordrassil through a much shorter quest chain than Stage 1.

1. Emergency Extraction

In this short, final stage, you will be able to complete your Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest in its' final form. Once you have collected all 250 Smouldering Essences and Heart of Flame, you will be able to complete the only two quests in this stage back-to-back.

1. Heart of Flame / Heart of Flame
