Pointless Top 10: Forges in World of Warcraft

[@Yorah95]

honestly. These pointless top 10s to me feel more like "lets appreciate the little things most people do not notice/take for granted in WoW and talk about it." and i love that.

[@senzyri8216]

The air pumper things are called bellows :) I'm now also reminded of how many huge forges there are in WoW. Blackrock Foundry is almost like one giant forge too.

[@crendor]

Yeah, I was gonna put it on the list but but it felt more like a furnace so I didn't

My favourite thing about this video is the random 6 at the end.

Aw geez, I forgot to put THE END and it's just a 6 instead. I think it's fitting

God I love these

[@tygonmaster]

The pointless 6 really rounded it out well. 14:02 Bot no, forges in WoW always are super cool and really allow the art team to do some crazy stuff because ultimately, they are pointless. They could have just a guy there that gives weapons for ingredients or something, but no. Boring. Giant fiery lava thing!

[@Infernoblade1010]

For those who are curious, the "air pumps" are bellows

[@ericv738]

Yer a bellows

[@quinteson2853]

7:24 Blizzard clearly agreed since the Forge of Souls was used for the Shadowlands finale curscene where they retconned what it was. Which is stupid.

[@timkokesh1968]

I think the Great Forge has to be #1, but I’m also surprised you missed the Dark Iron forge, the only place you can smelt Dark Iron.

[@Limrasson]

Also the Anvil associated with it is the only place where you could have forged most dark iron stuff, including the Sulfuron Hammer which was needed for Sulfuras.

[@Underhaven]

My favorite is the OG Great Forge in the vanilla game's beta. I like what we got in the final game too, but the original felt way more like a massive forge.

[@josejuanandrade4439]

It was a furnace tho. No place to drive a rod in to melt and forge it or anything.

[@SambinoDev]

I love how in #10 strict guidelines for what is and isn't a forge are laid out, then by #9 we're already bending the rules because it looks cool

[@TheKardred]

I realised lately how big of a legend you are Crendor. I watched youtube for more than 10 years now and yet you are here after all the years with great content that warms your heart. Also not to mention the non content!!! You are a genius and I wish you all the best man, you are the best of all time for me, nobody is close. I am drunk while writing this but this is how I feel when sober. Fucking legend ladies and gentlemen, Crendor.

[@MrBlablabla119]

Do something with the in-game books! Like top 10 coolest books, top 10 longest books, top 10 rarest books, top 10 most obscure books, top 10 book locations, whatever. Just seems like a cool thing in the game that hasn't really been touched too much.

[@zac0918]

the runeforge isnt useless, we still have to go to it for runeforge

[@jjstraka1982]

Every time I see a forge I wanna roll a Warrior or Paladin and level Blacksmithing and Mining. But I never do. Anyway, my vote for best forge is the Forge of Fate in Northrend Dalaran. I have clear memories of a DK on the server who had Shadowmourne with full Armor Penetration gems plying his trade there.

[@Pumkin932]

I get the same OCD/ADD urge. I main casters so the concept of the original dalaran's "Arcane Forge" is good inspiration for a mage as a blacksmith.

[@jjstraka1982]

@@Pumkin932 yeah it happens to be with all sorts of classes. When I am in Night Elf zones, I can't help but want to be playing a Druid, when in zones that deal with the Elements, a Shaman. Zones like Azure Span, it's hard not to want to be on a Mage.

[@v.k.healthlongevity9807]

​@Frost Fever the same OCD/ADD/PTSD/BPD just chuck a few more in to drive your point home. It's a really weird thing to do to even list 2 😂

[@EchidnaEsq]

Ya missed the one in Blackrock Depths "The Black Forge" right next to the entrance to MC. It is in a lava river

[@matthewmoore51]

crendor is one of the only content creators on youtube that legitimately makes me laugh out loud

[@AcemberArt]

I love these so much. Not just hearing about the ones you find interesting, but also seeing the variety of assets present throughout the game. A nice chance to appreciate stuff I might not have noticed otherwise! Also hearing about the lore behind specific things. Love these!! I don't know if you take suggestions... But maybe (if any of these have already been done then disregard those!) : - beds - dragons? - high quality npc models (like the characters that look really nice/detailed compared to other npcs like thrall and alexstrazsa etc.) - terrariums? Like fish tanks and tanks that plants and animals live inside (If these even exist in game.. for some reason I'm thinking of the tram in sw, didn't that have a giant water tunnel.. does that count?) - horse mounts - hippogryphs - mounts in general - trees! (Does this one already exist?) - campsites - guards - grass textures - decorative weapons (like ones mounted on walls or placed in the world as decorations in the background, not ones players can equip) - hidden treasures

[@abieljehucamarillorangel3689]

i missed the Silvermoon forge, its a giant pool of lava too. If you do a top of anvils dont forget the black anvil and the dalaran anvil

[@dreim5]

[@Taxfreej]

Never change, you are a legend. I love these types of videos, laid back and chill. :)

[@literallynobody9769]

Gosh I forgot how much I loved these for ages until I recently found this series of yours again Crendor! I'd love it if you did alcoholic beverages lol. Your comment about blizz not knowing what forges are, really reminded me of a run on joke I've always had that Blizz and other game devs never seem to know what different kinds of alcoholic beverages are! Cool to see there is still so much stuff for you to cover after all this time!

[@GrokNZ]

The Black Forge in Blackrock Depths will always be an honorable mention for me, it's a forge built into the heart of a volcano. Plus it's the only place you can smelt Dark Iron ore.

[@josejuanandrade4439]

He didn't even mention it. Man, that forge should have been on the list imo, even number 1 for me. The fact is so out of the way, and that noone ever visits it anymore, it makes it a worthy contender of the top spot in this list. Also similar to the Black Forge we have now the Obsidian Forge in the Obsidian citadel in Wakin shores. Some BS items can only be crafted there. Good trowback to the black forge imo.

[@GrokNZ]

@@josejuanandrade4439 exactly. I still occasionally head to the black forge for guildies when they make sulfuras after getting the eye to drop from Ragnaros in molten core. I'm the only one in guild that can smelt dark iron.

[@MangaManifaction]

I love fighting Ignis when he grabs someone and chugs them into his own little cauldron and yells "BURN. BURN IN THE MAKER'S FIRE!"

[@hollandlogtenberg4871]

I am so sad that Floorge was not a pun that was utilized for the Orgrimmar bit. Floor Forge. It's a Floorge!

[@tomwallace1308]

I love that crendor is making a vidoe while his fellow members of the horde are fighting outside!

[@KikiTheHobo]

I wonder how high the IronFORGE forge will be on this list. My fav forge is the Thelsamar one in Loch Modan. Don't know why, maybe because the love for that zone ❤

[@RAYSIFF23]

Ngl, been watching these for YEARS. And I always learn stuff. Like a lot lol. Not just WoW stuff. Best secretly educational series ever.

[@grundged]

These forge semantics are driving me crazy! What is a forge? AHHHHHHHHH! 😵‍💫🤯

[@jameschristophercirujano6650]

With the Blacksmith building in Orgrimmar, you can construe it as them being used to forging back in Gorgrond. I think they used the lava there as a fire source.

[@Doomroar]

I like the Crendor's version more, a high Troll said "What if the forge was the floor" and the orcs just went with it

[@postie509]

Liked that you point out the fact the Trolls obviously smoke a bunch of weed, instead of just hint at it like a lot of people do.

[@Akires23]

I’m about the same age of Crendor, and I’ve started appreciating little things like this in games in recent years instead of blowing past everything. I wonder if something about getting older makes us appreciate stuff more. Wisdom or…something lol

[@ashb712]

They did a really good job with Utgarde Keep. When Wrath launched for the very first time, people questing through HF would get to be met with the sight of that massive forge spitting flames out in every direction, as the first scene of their first dungeon in the expansion. What an amazing fucking way to introduce you to Wotlk's kickass aesthetic. Still probably one of the best intros to an expansion, just silently leaving you in awe. The borean tundra dungeon sucked compared to this tbh.

[@NetherCrafterSMC]

Definitely missing the updated Runeforge of the DK's during Legion with its massive frostwyrm skull

[@jacobjenkins5461]

[@ursusmuricanus5765]

Actually it's called the soul forge because Arthas misunderstood the jailer, it's supposed to be called the soul forager. The jailer tried to correct Arthas but he told him to talk to him when he's canon and kept the name.

[@Ben_diez]

[@evandavis5223]

I remember the first time I got to Ironforge and saw the Great Forge. I spent probably a good 5 minutes just staring in awe. It's still my favorite point of interest in the game.

[@dartimes6048]

The obliterum forge back in Legion also had a unique animation where when you would destroy stuff it would breath Fel fire out from the part that opened. It also didn’t destroy just epic but any crafted price of gear from the legion expansion. Since BFA Obliterum has no used therefore it was made a gray item that sold for 100g. Back in legion obliterum could be bought and sold on the AH.

[@harmagedonFR]

The number 2 forge was incredible in the movie, I still want a director's cut of it, and maybe a 2nd film or a remake in a series of it

[@IBrowneeI]

I like the forges the Draenei use. By the look of things, they're doing all their forging is what seems like molten crystal. I like to think that's what helps give most of their things the purple aesthetic and glow. Just a melted down crystal finish.

[@terrafria]

Literally the first one that came to mind at the start of the list ended up #1, was going to be so upset if it wasn't on the list. Was not disappointed!

Aww the big broken bell in teh central entrance to Lordaeron was forged here in friendship? Q.Q Now it lies ruined with the haunting echoes of its tolling if you crank your ambiance sound up. You can still hear is reverb. So sad. Maybe they'll fix it and reforge it for that purpose brokering a truce/ceasefire with Calia. That'd be interesting.

[@landonmccully6329]

“Air pumpers” 😂

[@somerandominternetdweller]

You could argue the Demon hunter forge was used to break down gear, so you can reforge or improve other gear. Since the ash is used to make new or improve gear. Which is very similar to how elves reforged blades to make them more powerful. Which it so happens, that all demon hunters are elves.

[@TimothyWitt]

Maybe a miss on The Black Anvil, but very solid.

[@Yrenne]

I'm guessing the Vrykul are overworking the forge to fend off the invaders and it's not normally supposed to spew out flames in every direction like that.
