Source

Created by goblin engineers with a minimum of 425 engineering skill.

A set of 5 Global Thermal Sapper Charges requires:

• 1x [Saronite Bar]
• 1x [Volatile Blasting Trigger]

The recipe for this is taught by Goblin Engineering trainers.

Notes

• Does 200 damage to buildings and walls that can be damaged in Wintergrasp.

• Note that it does not damage "everyone nearby", just enemies, and the wielder. This suggests strategies involving multiple Goblin Engineers, albeit at 5 minute intervals.

• Given the signature icon of a Mushroom cloud, the name is almost certainly a reference to the term "Global Thermonuclear war". Another possible reference could be the thermal detonators of Star Wars.

• These bombs played an important part in the Goon Squad's Wintergrasp Speedrun.

Patch notes

Patch 3.1.3 (2009-06-02): Siege damage reduced from 1200 to 200.
