Magic classes in WoW: The War Within should closely examine off-hand items when opening their Great Vault in this ID. The “Fate Weaver” could potentially be the Best in Slot (BiS) weapon hidden among them.
In WoW: The War Within, players have recently discovered a rare off-hand item called Fate Weaver. This item has a unique effect that transforms it into a weapon. Depending on your play style, the Fate Weaver off-hand can turn into either Fateweaved Needle or Fateweaved Mallet.
Even after a recent nerf, the special effects of these weapons are still superior to any hero weapon you can currently loot. In this guide, we will explore the special effects of these weapons, investigate the source of the item, and address the bug associated with it.
The Special Effect of the Weapon
The weapon created from Fate Weaver has a powerful effect for both DPS classes and healers. For DPS classes, it establishes a connection with the target that temporarily boosts your intelligence by approximately 9,000 points.
When this connection ends—either because you move away or after a certain period—you will deal a significant amount of damage to the target in a single hit. This effect is so strong that it surpasses hero weapons in terms of damage. Better weapons are only available from mythic items (mythic raid or Great Vault).
Healers also benefit from the intelligence boost. The effect occurs between you and an ally, or it increases the main stat of the target. The ally also receives the main stat boost. Initial simulations show that this proc effect has an uptime of about 20-25%, providing an average boost of around 2,000 intelligence.
Where Does Fate Weaver Drop?
According to initial reports, players have acquired Fate Weaver via Hulking Raptorial Claw. The claw comes According to initial reports, players have obtained Fate Weaver through the Giant Raptor Claw, which drops from Zekvir. Zekvir is known as the “Deep Butcher” and can attack you during a deep run. However, details about the source or drop rate are limited, suggesting that Fate Weaver is a very rare item.
It appears that Fate Weaver can also be acquired as a hero item through Delver’s Bounty. There is a very small chance of finding these “maps” in Generous Chests at depth level 8. As a result, even heroic raiders might have a reason to continue farming depths for Fate Weaver.
There is also a belief that Fate Weaver can appear in the Great Vault. If you play a spellcasting class, make sure to keep an eye out for this seemingly inconspicuous off-hand item.
The Bug
Some players have already looted Fate Weaver, but it initially dropped with an item level of 350. Due to its low item level, it currently only serves as a transmog item in The War Within.
It appears that nothing will change regarding this. Players who obtained the item level 350 version in the first few weeks will need to find the item again, as there is no hotfix planned for the Fate Weaver item level.
Once you transform your Fate Weaver into one of the two weapons, you can still equip another off-hand item. The weapon will not disappear or be affected in any way.
