Verigan's Fist
Whitestone Oak Lumber
Jordan's Refined Ore Shipment
Jordan's Smithing Hammer
Purified Kor Gem
Corrupted Kor Gem
Wolfsbane
Enchanted Silver Ingot
The Test of Righteousness is the Alliance paladin weapon quest. Jordan Stilwell forges you Verigan’s Fist, a blue two-handed mace, once you bring him four materials from four corners of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. It takes two dungeons and a fair bit of travel, so plan it around runs you are doing anyway.
In WoW Forever the Alliance chain is the Classic one. Undead paladins on the Horde side get a new quest with a different weapon; it is covered at the end of this page.
Quick facts
| Start | Duthorian Rall, Cathedral of Light in Stormwind |
| Main NPC | Jordan Stilwell, outside the gates of Ironforge in Dun Morogh (about 52.5, 36.8) |
| Level | 21–22, available from level 20 |
| Faction | Alliance (human and dwarf paladins) |
| Prerequisite | The Tome of Valor chain (includes Defend Daphne Stilwell in Westfall) |
| Dungeons | Deadmines, Shadowfang Keep |
| Reward | Verigan’s Fist |
The chain in order
- The Tome of Valor: from your paladin trainer, then Duthorian Rall in Stormwind.
- Defend Daphne Stilwell: at Daphne’s house at the end of the Longshore in Westfall. Defias attack in waves, and the quest fails if you or Daphne die.
- Return to Duthorian Rall.
- The Test of Righteousness (part 1): Duthorian sends you to Jordan Stilwell near Ironforge.
- The Test of Righteousness (part 2): Jordan gives you Jordan’s Weapon Notes and asks for four items.
- The Test of Righteousness (part 3): wait while Jordan forges the weapon, then take Verigan’s Fist.
Where to get the four items
- Whitestone Oak Lumber: from the Goblin Woodcarvers in the Deadmines, in the lumber area around Sneed.
- Jordan’s Refined Ore Shipment: talk to Bailor Stonehand in Thelsamar, Loch Modan. He gives Bailor’s Ore Shipment (it only appears while you have part 2). Find the ore crate at the Mo’grosh Stronghold, the ogre camp north-east across the loch (around 71.6, 21.4), and bring it back to Bailor for the refined shipment.
- Jordan’s Smithing Hammer: inside Shadowfang Keep. The notes say it was left in the stables in the main courtyard. Click it to take it.
- Purified Kor Gem: take Seeking the Kor Gem, kill Blackfathom Tide Priestesses and Oracles, the naga outside the Blackfathom Deeps entrance in Ashenvale, for a Corrupted Kor Gem, and bring it back to be purified. Sources disagree on who gives this step: ForeverDB lists Thundris Windweaver in Auberdine, Darkshore; Conquest Capped names Tandaan Lightmane in Astranaar. Ask either if you are nearby.
Bring all four to Jordan Stilwell.
Rewards
Verigan’s Fist: two-handed mace, 65–99 damage, 3.2 speed, +5 Stamina, +6 Intellect, +10 Spirit. Chance on hit: 49 Holyfire damage, three times as much against fire and earth elementals. It binds when picked up. Part 2 alone gives about 875 XP; Bailor’s Ore Shipment adds about 440 XP.
Horde: Wolfsbane for Undead paladins
Forever adds a new paladin weapon chain for the Horde. According to Conquest Capped:
- Diplomatic Incident (level 18): Danitha Morr at Bandarion Keep, Tirisfal Glades (22.0, 44.6).
- A Curious Pair and A Grim Fate: Trevan Rol and Deathguard Baldren at The Sepulcher, Silverpine Forest.
- Into Fenris Keep and Lumina Windsinger: on Fenris Isle. Kill Rot Hide Gnolls for the Fenris Isle Key to free Lumina, then escort her out (The Windshaper’s Wrath).
- The Debt and A Moon-Kissed Blade (level 20): collect Whitestone Oak Lumber (Deadmines), an Enchanted Silver Ingot from Arugal’s room in Shadowfang Keep and a Purified Kor Gem (Ulric Frostveil, Zoram’gar Outpost, Ashenvale).
- The blade is then forged and you face Old Fire-Eye, a level 25 elite worgen near the Greymane Wall.
The reward is Wolfsbane: two-handed sword, 69–105 damage, 3.4 speed, +9 Stamina, +10 Intellect. Chance on hit: 49 Holystorm damage, three times as much against wolves and worgen. The later Horde steps come from a single guide, so expect small differences in game.
Tips / common problems
- Bailor has no quest? You need part 2 of The Test of Righteousness in your log first.
- Shadowfang Keep is in Horde land. Alliance players usually leave it for last and go with a group.
- Do the Deadmines run with your Westfall quests. The Woodcarvers are near Sneed, so you get the lumber on the normal route.
- Horde: equip the Moonsilver Blade for Old Fire-Eye. Conquest Capped says an aura protects him until the blade burns it away, so do not pull him with your old weapon.
