Dartol's Rod of Transformation

A great favorite of my guild, Dartol's Rod of Transformation is a bit of an unusual item. It doesn't have any stats, and it doesn't do any damage; no, this is a far more potent piece of loot. It transforms you into a Furbolg for three minutes. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like a Furbolg charging up to bubble-pull Onyxia, followed by a dozen more Furbolgs and assorted other folks. The effect breaks if you receive damage, but the cooldown is only one minute, so it shouldn't be too hard to stay furbied up most of the time.How do you get it? Simple, just follow the quest chain "Raene's Cleansing" in Ashenvale (18 is the level of the first quest). Sorry, Hordies, but this one's Alliance-only. There's one catch: you can't finish the quest line, because if you do, they take away your pretty rod. The best way to go about it is just to not accept the follow-up: as soon as you get your rod, walk away smiling. Unfortunately, a few of us Alliance folks have completed the entire quest chain; for us, as for hordies, there's pretty much no way to get Dartol's Rod. But at least we still get Paladins on our side! (What's that? Horde Paladins in the expansion? Yeah right. Screenshot or it didn't happen.)

Love this on my ally mage, but where's the Horde equivalent quest?
Oh, and get the fire breathing rod from the dward in westfall, and you'll have a crackign firebreathing furbolg to amuse your friends with ;-)

Remember what Blizzard did a few patches ago? you can no longer save up quest items and dump the quest. So If you haven't done this already. You will always need to have "Raene's Cleansing" In your quest log for good =(

Actually, Kirby, I think what you can do is finish the first leg of the quest chain that gives you the Rod, keep the Rod, and just never pick up the next quest. But I haven't tried it, so I'm not absolutely sure that would work.

I tried to use my rod in order to get some new furbolgs among my friends.
They just sniffed - and a attacked!!! The rod is not as fantastic as it looks.
