Head of Onyxia Quest Rewards
The head starts a short quest chain with a choice of rewards. This quest offers three epic items with an ilvl of 65. Each item has stats for a specific raid role. Fire Resistance on these items ranges from +6 on a ring for caster classes to +20 on a trinket for tanks. Your character chooses one reward upon completing the quest:
- Onyxia Tooth Pendant - This neckpiece gives melee classes and Hunters +7 Agility and +8 Stamina. It also has +10 Fire Resistance and 1% each to hit and crit.
- Dragonslayer's Signet - Caster classes choose this ring for 1% crit and +7 Spell Power. This Unique-Equipped ring also gives +11 Stamina and Intellect each, as well as +6 Fire Resistance.
- Onyxia Blood Talisman - This trinket's Use effect reduces damage from Dragon Breath by 33% for 15 seconds. Tanks also gain 9 HP5 and +20 Fire Resistance from this Unique-Equipped trinket.
We consider these three items the main reason to buy Head of Onyxia in Forever. The quest lets you choose one reward from a list. That's why we advise hybrid classes to take the item that matches the spec in which the character spends most of their raid nights. This allows you to equip the reward in every raid.
Onyxia Head Quest for Alliance and Horde
The Horde turns in the head to Thrall in Orgrimmar via the Victory for the Horde quest. Alliance players take their version to Stormwind, where Bolvar accepts the quest. The boss drops one such head (with BoP and Unique status) per kill for the entire raid. Our 40-player raid will give it to your character. You won't have to fight for it in a roll.
Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer Buff
Handing in the head triggers a world buff for all characters in Orgrimmar or Stormwind at that moment. Players refer to it as Onyxia buff. This buff grants a 10% critical strike chance for spells and attacks for 2 hours. It also adds +140 AP and up to +80 to spell damage and healing. But Blizzard has disabled its effect inside raid instances.
