My guild’s principal Holy Priest wields Val’anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings. When he has to miss a raid, all wipes get blamed on lack of “The Mace”.
Three people in my guild have made Shadow’s Edge, and our top DK already has half of the Shadowfrost Shards he needs to convert it into Shadowmourne.
Now those are some pretty nifty weapons, but if you’re looking for something really, truly legendary to amaze all your banking buddies, you should get your hands on one of these beauties….
Kobold Mining Shovel This two-handed mace drops off Kobold Tunnelers at the Fargodeep Mine in Elwynn Forest. It requires level 3 to equip. There are five other items that share this model, should you desire a more powerful spade for those really tough weeds.
Rusted Pitchfork This polearm drops in the Scarlet Enclave, the phased DK starting zone. It has no level requirement to equip.
Farmer’s Broom This staff drops from Tirisfal Farmhands at Soliden’s Farm in Tirisfal Glades. It requires level 3 to equip.
My number one favorite weapon in the game:
Cookie’s Tenderizer This one-handed mace drops off “Captain” Cookie in normal mode (low-level) Deadmines. It requires level 15 to equip.
I love that we can get a rolling pin to bash stuff over the head with. It’s a must-have accessory for any RP cooking outfit, of course, but with +3 strength and +2 stamina, it’s actually a decent weapon for its level range.
The Cataclysm brought us this lovely addition to our supply of household weaponry:
Spider Splatter Mace This one-handed mace is rewarded from an easy, faction-neutral two-step quest chain in Western Plaguelands that is available at level 35 without having to do anything else in the zone.
Characters of classes that can dual-wield AND use maces (Rogue, Death Knight, Fury Warrior, or Enhancement Shaman) can do fun things like this:
Oh, if only Fury Warriors could use Titan’s Grip to dual-wield with polearms and staves — wouldn’t DWing a shovel and a pitchfork, or a shovel and a broom, or a pitchfork and a broom, be totally OP?
This post was updated in March 2011 to reflect changes and additions in Cataclysm.

WTB epic rolling pin from Heroic Deadmines! xD
