I cannot put into words how absolutely ecstatic I am that the Balance weapon is the Scythe of Elune. This has long been a favorite item of mine, and it's very closely tied to the origins of the worgen. Players may remember a questline to follow its trail in vanilla, but it's so much more than just that. This story is from the comic book Curse of the Worgen, with a tiny bit from Dark Riders:

The Scythe of Elune was crafted during the War of the Satyr, when the satyrs fought the night elves in Ashenvale. The night elf druids had a wolf form, the Pack Form, but Malfurion banned it because it was completely impossible to control, druids who turned into a wolf were overcome by the blind rage of Goldrinn and attacked everyone friend and foe alike. Not even Malfurion could control it, and he had attacked Cenarius when he became a wolf. But even though Malfurion banned it, a group of druids continued to use the Pack Form. One of them was named Ralaar Fangfire.

When Ralaar's best friend Arvell died in the war because he had promised Malfurion he would not use the Pack Form, Ralaar began to hate Malfurion. He and Arvell's distraught girlfriend, Belysra, decided on a plan to control the uncontrollable Pack Form. They took a fang from Goldrinn and attached it to a staff blessed by Elune, creating the Scythe of Elune and hoping Elune's light could control Goldrinn's fury inherent in the wolf form. But it couldn't. Goldrinn rejected Elune, and Ralaar and the Druids of the Pack turned into the very first worgen. Ralaar renamed himself Alpha Prime.

The worgen were powerful enemies against the satyrs, but they didn't stop at the satyrs. They attacked the night elves in their fury, and their victims turned into worgen as well. Belysra, realizing what she had done by helping Ralaar, delivered the Scythe of Elune to Malfurion. Using the Scythe's power, Malfurion sealed Ralaar and the worgen inside the Emerald Dream where they would sleep forever...

...Or, so they hoped. Thousands of years later, when the Scourge assaulted the Eastern Kingdoms, King Genn Greymane of Gilneas ordered a mage named Arugal to help them fight the undead. Arugal pulled Ralaar and his worgen out of the Emerald Dream, and they did fight the Scourge...but they also spread the worgen curse into Gilneas. Ralaar hired Arugal to create a Wolf Cult, for he wanted the Scythe of Elune to free the rest of the trapped worgen and get revenge on Malfurion.

In Kalimdor, meanwhile, a night elf named Velinde Starsong found the lost Scythe of Elune in Ashenvale. With it she summoned more worgen and fought the demons in Felwood, but the worgen kept coming outside of her control. When she heard Arugal had worgen of his own (not realizing Arugal worked for Ralaar), Velinde journeyed to Silverpine to ask for his help. But she was attacked by Ralaar's Wolf Cult in Duskwood and died there. The Scythe's power proceeded to summon more worgen from the Emerald Dream into Duskwood, plaguing the forest with them to this day.

Later, a group led by a priest named Revil Kost found the Scythe and used it to lure out the Dark Riders, who were hunting for magical artifacts. They later delivered the Scythe to a night elf named Valorn, who brought it up to Gilneas.

But when it got to Gilneas, the Forsaken stole it. In the worgen starting zone, we helped the night elves get it back. Ralaar would attack the night elves in Gilneas after we left them, but Belysra revealed she had the Scythe and tried to use it to banish Ralaar and his Wolf Cult back inside the Emerald Dream...but Alpha Prime was instead killed, ripped apart, by a spirit wolf who was actually the ghost of his old friend Arvell.

And that is the last time we saw the Scythe of Elune before Legion.

Always enjoyed the idea that the weapon of Elune is a scythe (Read Reignac's post :D).

It takes away from the simple, fuddy-duddy, tree-loving-hippie image of the druids by saying "Here is Death." It's a reminder that death is just as much a part of a natural, bound, sustainable ecosystem as is birth.

It's also a symbol of summer, of bounty, of the harvest - the promise of rebirth and good things to come.

The creatures named after Elune's moon, who seek the balance between life and death, are the moonkin - the form of balance druids.

Elune is a boomy dr00d.

So there :P.

This is the Artifact weapon for The Druida spec, Balance.

This Scythe was originally created from the Staff of Elune, combined with a fang from Goldrinn.

This weapon has a long and detailed history in the lore of Warcraft, and has even been previously seen in game, in the Huargen starting zone. It's how Huargen were created.

You can read a bit about this weapon on the Druid Artifact Reveal blog on the wow site, but you will find much more information about it, elsewhere, including comments here.

You can view the different model unlocks for this weapon here on wowhead.

You can peruse an early list of Artifact Traits here on wowhead.

You can play with Artifact Traits on the calculator page. There, you will also find 3D model views of the Appearance unlocks.

My question/speculation is this: Why is boomy the only spec that is not a healer that gets a sha touched socket for their weapon? All the other healer spec weapons get one, and then there is this one.

Of course we know wrathion is coming back in some sort of "i told you so but you F***** up my plan, but hey now there is this so lets go with it." sort of thing, so we can speculate that some sort of new sha touched gem is coming, either that, or if we were lucky somehow that the old sha touched gems still have some sort of relevance.

It's just a very odd detail to leave in, that is assuming all these weapons data mined are accurate.

Opinions?

"It's pronounced "Scythe", not "Skyth""

"Well, "Skyth" is the EVIL way of saying it..."

Comentario de Skullhawk13

I'm personally more resto/feral, but I am very happy to see this go to balance. They really deserve it.

Comentario de Brannar3

I am absolutely thrilled to be receiving this very weapon for my Balance Druid. For someone like me who is very fond of the lore behind World of Warcraft was very pleased with the announcement of this specific weapon!

Comentario de Livewire2000

I'd like to know if this is still a thing for the Scythe. There is mention of a passive called Moonfang that applies a very powerful DoT by chance when casting offensive spells while the Scythe of Elune is equipped. I haven't seen any mention of this in some of the videos I've watched but hope it is still a part of the Scythe. I love the lore behind it, my main is a Balance Druid and I honestly can't wait till we can obtain this artifact. Any information about it at all would be very helpful.

Like one of the "hidden" uses for artifact weapons

In legion, you will sometimes come over "Feral Worgen" in Val Sharah that you can use "Light of Elune" when you get close to remove their curse. Doing so will give you 25 artifact power.

Here some dialogue you get when you free the first one

"The rage... it no longer claims me! Praise Elune that you found me master of the fang, or as we in the pack say, Nahlen'do"

"My Mind is still hazy but I remember combat... ah yes...we were battling the satyr when the rage overtook me"

"I cannot remember what happened after except that I and a few others of my kind awoke and together we traveled as a pack through the Emerald dream. After some time we arrived in this land and each went our seperate ways"

Comentario de Stompa

If you are a druid with Guadaña de Elune, getting close to a Huargen feral NPC will give you the Luz de Elune ability.

Using this ability frees the Worgen, and your weapon will automatically gain 25 Artifact Power.

Comentario de Stompa

To power up your Guadaña de Elune with Artifact Power, go to the Seed of Ages at 31,54 in the Dreamgrove - basically follow the path to the far west side. Click the small seed on the ground.

I have to admit I totally forgot where this was even though the quest La Semilla de los tiempos took me there the first time. Hope this helps some other forgetful druids!

Honestly in shock at how bad this questline was. Like, I heard it wasn't great, but I assumed that meant that it was boring, not that it neutered one of Vanilla's coolest mysteries.

Like... The Dark Riders are just cursed merchants? MERCHANTS? Seriously Blizzard? What are your writers even doing in there? Certainly not even obeying the basic rules of punctuation as evidenced by the quest text in Disturbing the Past. Shoddy. Really shoddy.

Comentario de ArchmageKhadria

I love how the Scythe of Elune is an actual item, and I understand how it goes to balance druids. It totally makes sense. But I'm really salty I can't use this on my night elf priest I made look like a Priestess of the Moon

Comentario de Denima

This artifact weapon should be upgraded with every add-on ! I'm a lvl 60 balanced Druid, and with the actuel stats it's not worth to equip it (Because it`s an old item the effects do no longer work!). It takes just place in my bank :-(

Comentario de MrCrippels

I'm currently having a bug to obtain the scythe in Dragonflight. We can do a short skip of this quest it seems, where you get to "a gift from the six" without obtaining the artifact. I made exalted with Dreamweavers to obtain the hidden artifact transmog for it, Hartshorn doesn't sell the one item needed to me. I'll update the comment if I find out how.
