Quel'Serrar is a main hand sword that was arguably one of the best tanking weapons in the game, thanks to its impressive stats and the weapon proc. However, since the advent of The Burning Crusade expansion, the item has been overtaken by newer, more effective weapons.

Quel'Serrar itself is not a drop like many other items, but a quest. The quest, though, starts by using an item that drops from Dire Maul bosses, [Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying]. The droprate is so extremely low that it is considered impossible to farm for it. Since this book does not bind, it can be found in the Auction House.
When you get the [Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying], you start the quest by handing in the book to Lorekeeper Lydros in the library of Dire Maul. He gives you an item, [Unfired Ancient Blade]. The quest requires you to take this blade to Onyxia's Lair, and place it on the ground where it needs to be hit by one of Onyxia's AoE fire breath. Once hit the blade will turn into a [Heated Ancient Blade], which you can then pick up, and use it to stab Onyxia's dead body once you slay her. This will transform the sword again, giving you a [Treated Ancient Blade].
Proceed to the Dire Maul library once more, and hand in the quest. The reward is [Quel'Serrar].
Notes
- Only warriors and paladins are eligible to begin the quest for Quel'Serrar.
- Quel'Serrar is often abbreviated as "QS".
- Quel'Serrar is very often compared with [Bloodlord's Defender].
- [Spineshatter] is a possible alternative to a good tanking weapon.
When the quest is failed
Many things can happen that could fail the quest. Onyxia can miss the [Unfired Ancient Blade] with her fire breath, you can mistakenly use the [Unfired Ancient Blade] somewhere randomly, someone can skin her before you stab her with the [Heated Ancient Blade] etc. Simply abandon the quest you got from Lorekeeper Lydros, destroy the [Unfired Ancient Blade] if you still have it and return to the Dire Maul library to get another [Unfired Ancient Blade] and the same quest once again. In other words, you will not have to get another [Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying].
