The EVOLUTION of Ashbringer from Vanilla to Legion

[@ElitePWNSFace]

rest in peace buddy, i wish i found your content earlier

[@avinashrath9876]

i feel the same! i just wish i had found him earlier. Rest in Peace.

[@TheJdE1986]

Me too! videos are great! RIP.

[@enniopaone]

ElitePWNSFace Man, I used to watch him all the time and than I didn't had WoW for like 7 months and when I finally did and searched for his videos I was pretty sadened to see that he had passed away.

[@JoseHenrique-zp1ld]

I just knew this guy today, the day we learned that he passed away. He did the full guide to get the hidden artifact appearance even before Legion came out. May you rest in peace.

[@Pedros93]

RIP mate. This was my favorite WoW channel by a huge margin and I'm on a binge to honor this work. Miss you Hayven

[@hirumaredx]

That was a great video, you should do more like these

[@lolimpi1924]

hirumaredx sadly he can't

[@jarh2007]

He’s gone :( now i miss him

[@naota3k]

Cool to see different WoWtubers interacting, even if it's a bit sad now. See you next week Hiruma, and I'll meet you in the next life, Hayven.

[@petersander5802]

@@jarh2007 We all miss him i bet he's exploring all of the wonders there's up in heaven and that one day we all gets to meet him and maybe even get his autograph ^^

[@Feateous]

easily one of the best videos you have created Would love more 'player lore' type of videos

[@SlickMusicMedia]

Rest in peace... This is my fav video from Hayven... Hope you are in a better place now Hayven :'(

[@drathick9390]

I have a Corrupted Ashbringer from old Naxxramas in vanilla. I always found the voices from it so spooky but i never knew an event as epic as that would happen if you went to Scarlet Monastery.

[@KevinArcade87]

Did you get it in TBC on a Draenei Warrior?

[@waitwhereami439]

Here I am again watching all his videos after he passed away I'm sad

[@ru99414]

Just a 9gager seriously? is he gone?

[@waitwhereami439]

Yeah he died like 2 weeks ago

[@fundy16x]

he died 18 of march

[@Ghosslerd5]

:( damn... y just found this video...

[@corsaircarl9582]

With a lot of people coming back to WoW, they should just call this sword the Cashbringer.

[@a-lie-n]

*r e l e v a n t*

[@rocses6213]

with wow classic release and our guild has gotten 1 drop. i can confirm this statement......

[@joshlynch5676]

I still come and watch these videos to calm me down after a stressful day. Thanks for everything Hayven.

[@rivsynth]

Hayven, your videos always make me giddy. Thanks for being an awesome person. :)

[@HayvenGames]

+TheRainSkyandRiver you're welcome! and thank you for being an awesome subscriber!

[@Flothyy90]

you are literally the best youtuber ever! i love all of your videos and youre doing exactly those things that I don't manage to, all those "how it really looks" etc.! and even this video is fantastic!!! Stay strong man! Wish you the best!

[@HayvenGames]

+Flothyy90 haha thanks, means a lot to hear :)

[@robertrinke]

Hayven Games omg :(

[@Krunkles]

These 2 comments just made so fucking sad

[@franzsnorresson4408]

shit...

[@thehero7141]

The corrupted ashbringer for the ashbringer is a secret quest that you can do which hits every single point in this video

[@thehero7141]

I just watched a nobbel video about it

[@rojerangelo]

link?

[@madafakaboss4219]

rest in peace hayven. In Light We are one

[@phoenixsonson]

I really have been enjoying the videos with voice over instead of just music! Fantastic!

[@BREAKocean]

Good to hear your voice again old friend

[@chrisrettig7444]

I've watched your videos on legendary items lost to history and I have to say, these videos are so damn good. Not only do they show us the way the game used to be mysterious and rewarded high skill, patience, and exploration, but it's so impressive how you've pulled together all the footage from the game and its history. Sooooo well done!

[@mahonymahonek9142]

he died bro..

[@chrisrettig7444]

Yeah, I found out a couple days after posting this. : \

[@Saluuntv]

Holy crap those whispers gave me shiver! Also it would be soooooo much cooler if the new legendaries they've put into Legion would have to be found trough these kind of clues. I love your vids, keep it up!

[@remsrems]

Thank you very much for this video! You replied to ALL my questions about the Ashbringer "purified" after Naxx and in TBC ! You did it very clearly, Good Job and thanks again!

[@Alex-qu1sf]

Love the new series, keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@scottaification]

For me, someone who never played vanilla, this was new and fresh, I like videos like these. Keep it up

[@rexviper8]

those whispers from the sword was my first ASMR action

[@Haiyken]

Really cool video ! I would love to see more videos like this one about other items, places or characters !

[@Xintho]

Thank you for this video. I was someone who visited the old Ashbringer website back in the day that helped to track all the odd theories about the weapon. It kind of gave me chills to experience all of those old theories again because I honestly spend a lot of time fishing and a lot of time in Dire Maul as well just in the hope that something big would happen.

[@sparks2749]

Absolutely loved this video! Having come this far on the journey through WOW, (I have played since 2005 Vanilla, I find myself wanting to recall all of amazing lore and in-game secrets and gossip that fueled us to keep searching for rare and new items.... and items like the Ashbringer (back in the day) kept us all talking!

[@Mandalore1985]

Great video. You have to do all of this and more for the Corrupted version of Ashbringer btw. RIP in peace.

[@jerichozacrias7362]

I really miss this channel, I know Hayven would've loved seeing how things are going in WoW especially with Classic and Warcraft 3 coming out. Rest in Peace Hayven Games

[@archvaldor]

This channel has the most amazing production values.

[@brubanvenom]

I came across this video today and reading all the comments makes me feel sad. I actually liked your content, may you rest in peace mate.

[@Sepppppuku]

I really enjoyed this video man. Makes me sad that I don't have the Corrupted one doe. Please do more of these kind of videos, if that's possible of course :D

[@HayvenGames]

+Seppuku Gaming thanks! I have a few ideas on other videos like this. It was quite a challenge but I loved making it. So there will most likely be more coming :)

[@Sepppppuku]

+Hayven Games Great! :D

[@mrpvpdeath]

+Hayven Games Hey Hayven, what tools do you use to view these Maps and Dungeons, ETC. Because I wanna use it lol

[@HayvenGames]

Pvpdeath have a look in the channel description, its all there!

[@brandonboss6868]

my dumbass 11 year old self sold the corrupted ashbringer, because -25 stamina didn't appeal to me.... I regret it every day of my life.

[@AKhellbindeR]

The thought of Ashbringer back in mid vanilla was a huge deal. There were websites dedicated to discussing clues about obtaining the weapon. I remember fishing at a certain time of day, at a certain place in the Plaguelands and such. All rumours and speculation. This was before datamining basically revealed everything about the game, and sites like MMO-Champion, so it was all mysterious and exciting.

[@aj.gutierrez]

Great video! You should do more of these types of videos of items that players have long searched for and ramblings from NPCs that could hint or lead to potential items or "in-game lore." That is one thing I have always enjoyed; the lore of the game. I loved how they transitioned from WarCraft III to WoW. Everything has evolved and changed, sometimes leading to nothing, as you pointed out, but it is still interesting.

[@nathanmarineau3993]

Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for taking the time to make it so awesome.

[@davidlewis6728]

the main reason i can see for why the ashbringer's story's death with us being a bad this is in the fact that it is just given to us. it meant so much more when we had to work for it, and when it's story was a mystery.

[@thefinalforecast6657]

I loved this video, and how it went about explaining the history of what player went thru in expansions past. I think this is really a unique idea that works well.

[@danielnetland4319]

The best WoW-video I've seen in a while. I would love it if you made more of these. Keep up the great work man! Also, I'm rooting for you!

[@Ticothesquirrel1]

one of my fav videos of yours, seriously love your content

[@deaconsyxx322]

This just popped up in my feed. RIP Hayven 👍🏻

[@koh777]

This was really enjoyable, thanks for the fresh content! Not that your old content is stale...

[@supremeleader2739]

Rest in peace Hayven... I remember when this video came out, I can't believe it's already been 4 years:(

[@quatschfabrik]

Just a wonderful video about a very legendary weapon we´ve all heard of. Just keep up the good work and best of luck in RL !

[@mike.l.910]

loved this man, keep it up! i find these videos far more interesting than actual lore vids haha

[@AnugerahFirdauzi]

I've been playing WoW for more than one year now, but I hardly checked any youtube videos. Recently I found from another channel that I followed mentioned that one of our friend has passed away. I didn't really care until I actually came to find his channel today. Omg, so many interesting contents. The lore that I don't have time to follow, playing guide, etc, etc. that allow us to enjoy WoW in addition to daily quest, dungeon, and raid. Even there are many updates from Legion that only half a year since its release. So sad. Apparently we did really lose one great mind of our community. So sad checking his update about his health problem from videos and comments and the last goodbye video is really devastating. May he rest in peace

[@Kungkebaben]

Wow! Really, REALLY high quality on the video and lots of information i've never even heard about! Great voice and great way of talking to the audience. Also excellent work on the music, it really makes it so much more enjoyable. You just earned yourself a new subscriber! Keep up the great content!

[@polybios1514]

This was an awesome video! Please make more of them!

[@eondrache7786]

Well done on making a guide to finding the Legion version of the Corrupted Ashbringer skin!

[@slappy420usa]

subbed, great vids. Hit on a lot of lore about the Ashbringer I've never seen in any other video about it and I;m a lore junky. great work, keep it up

[@Troopertroll]

This video was super well-done. I literally chased around all of those in-game stories on my paladin, back when the lore was rich, mysterious, and compelling. My one regret was not realising Naxx 40 would be removed in Wrath.

[@Lev_cs]

at the time I was leveling my pally to run it but I never got around to leveling him to 80 before the new release of cata same thing in vanilla when I started a bit late I was just a noob... Wtf was boa gear? I regret not rushing thru to 60 asap but instead finding new locations and exploring xD

[@Narakiomal]

I must say I didn't expect to see Chad from Screw Attack on this video...

[@triple-a6399]

I discovered this channel in the wake of the Nostalrius shutdown and I must say you do a really great job in providing interesting and fun information. The nostalgia and feels your videos bring is just awesome! Looking at this reminds me how much I miss the old wow. Keep up the great work!! :D

[@TalikuTheTank]

This is soo sad that the mystery has gone with the expansions...I love all that urban legend from WoW and you are the greatest person to do show us :) Thank you

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

Been looking for the Ashbringer, Hayven. And your video is the best source.

[@jkl3937]

You know he is dead right?

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

Yes I do. This is why I was wondering about the sword.

[@Guggernut]

Blizzard literally took every piece of his video and made that the secret way of getting the "Corrupted Rememberance" skin in Legion. Rest well, my friend.

[@lodougherty]

Amazing you made this video before Legion launched, this would have been so helpful to watch before the hidden skin hunt!

[@LikeAbox32]

I'd love to see more of these videos! Really interesting, and high quality as usual!

[@LinusXu]

Best Ashbringer video I’ve ever seen, this dude really knows how to tell a story!

[@r.pizzamonkey7379]

The first video I watched on this channel This deserves a sub

[@JoLiKMC]

So _this_ is the "new feature" you were talking about... Neat! I've always found the in-game history of the Ashbringer fascinating, myself. It's been so wrought with mystery and confusion, false leads, teases, and a number of other things throughout the years... I was really saddened when _Wrath of the Lich King_ came out and Corrupted Ashbringer was removed and put in the hands of Fordring, then kind of insulted by the artifact system in _Legion_. Still, it's fascinating how far we've come and how we got here...

[@SuperEgoNaut]

I really liked this video. I particularly liked the way that you talked about the subject from the standpoint of game mechanics and the players rather than lore. ... Not that i'm averse to lore videos or anything; I just think there are plenty of them, whereas this was ... different. I'm excited to see what videos your channel will release in the future!

[@fallowsword]

The "i come from a land down under" quote is a reference to the classic Australian song 'Down under' by men at work. Not just randomly rambling haha.

[@alexandrumihaibulmez4609]

Keep going this road man with the Warcraft videos and you'll reach the top! Of all others Warcraft youtubers you have the most different approach, in a really good way I mean. Your videos are a pleasure to watch, although I really prefer the ones in which you talk because it drags you into the video better! Get well mate!

[@AHSeanR]

This was a really good video, I never played in Vanilla , I started in burning so I missed out on all this ashbringer stuff.I do love that most about the game though how something like a mystery in the ashbringer, is hinted and hunted throughout the game.makes WoW feel very alive and such a mystery, however now though everything is not so much a secret, it's all very modern and in Legion everyone will be getting this weapon that was once legend.I really want a corrupted ashbringer on my deathknight though that would be the dream!

[@climbsta]

This is why I'm excited for nost to come back. Not only do I have the time to do so, but I want to experience those tough vanilla times with naxx. I joined at the very end of vanilla, without really knowing about any of this because I was just a kid

[@KillaCamFit]

WOW GREAT VID MAN !!!! R.I.P

[@AviectusG]

Such production, such quality!! Keep those videos coming. I like the new series i am sure there are tones of items or lore stuff that you can create!!

[@MikeVendetta24]

Enjoyed that Video realy much ^^ It was interessting to watch and listen. Hope we will see more of these Videos in the Future :)

[@wereax5471]

Awesome Video!Thank You so Much. Wishing You The Best!

[@BRODIN1337]

This was a good video! I would love a similar video about the Scythe of Elune, or similar weapons with alot of ingame "lore". You seem to have a thing for that kind of stuff. Keep it up!

[@Gforcez]

Love the video, Hopefully we get some more of these videos in the future :D

[@Konuvis]

I miss those creepy whispers they did in Vanilla, C'Thun, the corrupter Ashbringer.... they were really freaky.

[@anarchy254]

Konuvis there is some in the now raid one of the old gods is talking to you

[@KennyGamerurl]

that was really well layed out, bro. Thanks for that! :D

[@iago68]

one of your best vids imo. i hope that we never get to the point of asking in trade chat, 'did someone say... ASHBRINGER??'

[@Henrikstinker]

Nah. People do the thing with Thunderfury, because its name is so ridiculously long.

[@Lev_cs]

Did someone say....

[@athemalive]

With an end of the Ashbringer and unique events bounded with that blade, end came also for you. Rest in Peace Hayven. You were my favorite WoW-er.

[@VincentLegent]

As anyone seen the quest "Good and Evil" ? In the database it's in Stratholme and for 2 rare fish you get the ashbringer. Quest 6202 in wowhead, hope to see that in Classic

[@GamerMusyk]

This video is amazing ! Good job guy

[@Allrithin]

You forgot just one part in BC. It was highly rumored that the other son was actually in Terokkar Forest. "David Wayne" was the closest person to being his son who strongly hints at being the son and has very similar traits. He forge weapons looked the same and spoke about being destined for something big. He had quests but nothing to do with the Ashbringer.

[@dimasik76]

R.I.P Hayven. You will be missed buddy :.(

[@HeeroAC195]

Great video man, glad I watched it.

[@Sality66]

man this video gave me the chills. i never knew how awesome wow history was. +1 sub ^^

[@CDIRick]

I wouldn't go back to the vanilla days, but one thing I do miss about that era was the mystery of things. There were countless rumours going around in all aspects of the game.

[@Ahito150]

Hayven why are you so awesome? Thanks for the video keep it up mate :)

[@Soleryth]

You did a really great job :) thanks for the video :D

[@dezarone4785]

wow, amazing i enjoyed this video. i never klnew the chase for the ashbringer was this goo.d thankyou, subbing

[@RomireTV]

Enjoyed the video! Thank you for the story!

[@seloc4879]

Sad to hear that there won't be any more content like this released :( R.I.P

[@Akul5b]

Nice video, I followed Ashbringer closely in WoW. One detail you missed was possible identity of Mograine's son in Outland. David Wayne in Terokkar Forest had left the Alliance Expedition for "something larger" and is a skilled smith with some smithing/reforging quests in Shadowmoon Valley. Narain Soothfancy also mentions Ashbringer, with similarly uninteresting results. The site ashbringer com had some good info on the blade. Ashbringer may just be one of the biggest disappointments in WoW for me. The Ashbringer...

[@HbVki]

Thanks for sharing, this is some interesting stuff

[@laszloszucs6345]

we miss you very much Hayven.

[@plesovszkiistvan2499]

László Szűcs mindenkinek hiányzik/everyone miss him

[@warcraftking3437]

This is a perfect video. Loved it.

[@liamstrait597]

Great summary. I can't quite decide whether Blizz were just having some good-natured fun, or tormenting the loyal fans who keep them employed :p Only one tiny, unimportant bit left out. The player (at least Ally-side) gets to retrieve the Ashbringer for the Argent Crusade, but for us, it is just a white-quality quest item called 'sacred artefact' or somesuch. I always though it should at least have orange text on it for the few minutes we get to carry it.

[@liamstrait597]

It's a quest in the very start of Howling Fjord for Alliance; here's a link to the quest's version of the Ashbringer: wow.gamepedia.com/Sacred_Artifact

[@Elenrai]

Thank you so much for this, may you rest in peace..

[@DecayedPony]

All the old rumors on how to get the ashbringers in vanilla is how you currently get the hidden artifact appearance. Nice touch blizzard. Get the two nat pagel books, get the head from Nef, talk to the guy in Diremaul, Get the shard from a slime, talk to a lich, fish for a crystal and get the hidden skin. I LOVE IT

[@skawilliams]

I know! Amazing seeing how Blizz tied the rumors together.

[@dreadjack117]

Still here

[@Vovich24]

Oh my, Hayven I opened your channel for myself only now and it's incredible! Level of content is amazing, keep it up and... I wish you to defeat your irl enemy. Btw, is there will be video about Atiesh? It's great weapon, and I started playing in Cata and crying every day about how much I missed in WoW >_

[@CallMeNoa]

This was a different kind of video from what you usually do, but I liked it! Too bad there aren't too many other items with ups and downs like Ashbringer has had in the game's history.

[@Dratelgen]

The transmog glitch no longer works with the new 7.0.3 transmog system. How it worked before: Go into a dungeon with someone *on a different server*, find a 2hander drop, mog it, then trade it. The different server was key to the glitch. It no longer works now because the item must be equipped to be transmogged, and by equipping it, forces the item to be bound to the character hence untradable.

[@wesleyvl8572]

Rest in peace dude you are in heaven

[@wazorak]

Since the day i started playing a was a paladin main and altough i was a tank and didn't use 2h weapons. But after all te searching and speculating and with all the work put in to finding this weapon over all the years i was hit with sadness to see it as an artifact weapon. It was prittymuch just given to you instead of making it an amazing and difficult quest. and altough i have no other weapon to use in leagion for my dps spec i have to admit this is not the ashbring i was looking for all these years it feels like it's soul, caracter and legend are striped and we got and empty blade with nubers on it. But i have to thank you for this video and showing what this blade ment to some of us to the people that were not aware of it's legend.

[@MrAlbafica]

great vid man!

[@jeremiahwindsor6114]

I love how Blizzard helped to feed and respond to the community rumors surrounding this very important peice of lore. It helped to grow the fame of the Ashbringer and in a way lifted up to myth like status. I am kind of sad that it's eventual introduction to the game does not live up to the decade long crusade to find this sword. One can only hope in future expansions there will be clues to the location of the True Ashbringer.

[@yat282]

Blizzard trolling people about the sword for years is funny
