Verigan's Fist: paladin quest chain guide (Classic Era baseline)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

At level 20, Alliance paladins can start a long class chain with Duthorian Rall in Stormwind's Cathedral of Light. The first half, The Tome of Valor, sends you to defend Daphne Stilwell in Westfall and pays out the Bastion of Stormwind shield and Sense Undead. The second half, The Test of Righteousness, has her brother Jordan Stilwell outside Ironforge ask for four materials from The Deadmines, Shadowfang Keep, Loch Modan and Darkshore. He then forges Verigan's Fist, a two-handed mace you can keep for a long time. Forever changes: see the notes below.

A note on levels and names. This chain is sometimes listed as a "level 38" paladin hammer quest involving Tiev Mordune. Every step requiring level 20, with quest levels from 20 to 25. Tiev Mordune is a level 22 Horde NPC in Silverpine Forest who gives the shaman quest Call of Water. He has no part in this chain.

the listed paladin class-quest guide says Duthorian gives you 1793 along with the Tome of Valor book. Reading the book starts 1649, which simply sends you back to him. None of these quests pays reputation.

Part 1: The Tome of Valor

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

1. Stormwind. Talk to Duthorian Rall in the Cathedral of Light. Take the book, read it, and hand 1649 straight back to him.
2. Back to Stormwind. Hand in 1651 to Daphne, then take 1652 back to Duthorian. He rewards the Bastion of Stormwind and teaches Sense Undead, then gives you The Test of Righteousness (1653).

Part 2: The Test of Righteousness, the four materials

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Take the tram to Ironforge. Jordan Stilwell stands outside the city's front gate in Dun Morogh, around 52.4, 36.8. He gives you Jordan's Weapon Notes and 1654, which asks for four items. You can collect them in any order.

The Deadmines: Whitestone Oak Lumber

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

The Goblin Woodcarvers are in the early part of the dungeon, so you don't need a full clear. Since this is a Dungeon-tagged quest, bring a group or a friend who can carry you through.

Shadowfang Keep: Jordan's Smithing Hammer

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

The hammer is an object you click, not a drop. The listed guide places it on a log in the stables. You're likely to be under-levelled at 20 to 22, so go with a group.

Loch Modan: Bailor's Ore Shipment (Elite)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Bailor Stonehand is in Thelsamar, Loch Modan, around 36.0, 45.0. The guide puts him in the tailoring supplies building. He wants Jordan's Ore Shipment back from the Mo'grosh ogres. Cross the loch to the Mo'grosh Stronghold in the northeast, where the Bailor's Ore crate sits around 71.6, 21.4. This quest Elite, so bringing a partner makes it easier. Hand the crate to Bailor and he gives you Jordan's Refined Ore Shipment.

Darkshore: Seeking the Kor Gem

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Thundris Windweaver is in the north of Auberdine, around 37.4, 40.2. He wants a Corrupted Kor Gem, which drops from Blackfathom Tide Priestesses, Blackfathom Oracles and Blackfathom Sea Witches. The listed guide says you don't need to enter the instance, because these naga also wander the flooded ruins and cave outside Blackfathom Deeps in northwest Ashenvale. Pull them one at a time. Thundris purifies the gem as your reward.

Part 3: The forging

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Bring all four items back to Jordan and hand in 1654. He then offers 1806, where you simply wait while he forges the weapon. He names it after Bosch Verigan, a dwarven paladin and friend of his.

Verigan's Fist stats differ in Forever. +7 Stamina, +6 Intellect and +12 Spirit. The listed tooltip, checked 3 Nov 2026, lists +5 Stamina, +6 Intellect and +10 Spirit, plus a chance-on-hit effect: "Ignite the target in the flames of the Great Forge, dealing 39 to 59 Holyfire damage. Deals 3 times as much damage to Fire Elementals and Earth Elementals." Damage, speed, item level and sell price are the same in both. The card below shows the Forever tooltip.

WoW Forever notes

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

• The mace has changed. See the stat comparison above. The Holyfire chance-on-hit effect is Forever only. The final Forever stats may still change before launch.
• XP. The notes say "Dungeon quests now reward 50% less extra experience beyond normal quest values." The Dungeon-tagged steps (1653, 1654, 1442) should pay less than the figures above. Exact Forever XP is.
• Two-handed talents. The notes cut the paladin talent Two-Handed Weapon Specialization to 2/4/6% (from 3/6/9%). Retribution players should account for this when choosing a mace over a one-hander and shield.
• No racial weapon skill. In Classic Era, Humans get extra Mace skill from their racial. Blizzard's 26 Oct update says weapon specialization racials are not coming back, so don't count on that bonus with Verigan's Fist.

FAQ

What level can I start Verigan's Fist? Level 20. Every step requires level 20.

Do I need a group? You'll want one for The Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep. The ogre camp and the Blackfathom naga can be soloed with care, but a partner helps.

Where is Jordan Stilwell? Just outside the main gate of Ironforge in Dun Morogh, around 52.4, 36.8.

What happens if Daphne dies? The quest fails, and the same goes for you dying. Abandon it and pick it up again to retry.
