Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros is the legendary hammer of the Fire Lord, Ragnaros. Until the release of Blackwing Lair in patch 1.6, it boasted the highest DPS of any melee weapon in the game. Also, until [Might of Menethil] was added to the game with patch 1.11, it still maintained the highest raw damage in the game. Though the weapon has lost its damage supremacy, it is still widely seen as a status symbol.
This weapon is not dropped, but rather may be forged by anyone who has obtained both the [Sulfuron Hammer] and [Eye of Sulfuras]. A skilled (300) blacksmith is required to make the hammer, and the Eye drops only, and rarely (about a 3% rate), off of Ragnaros himself. The plans for the Sulfuron Hammer are obtained by turning in a [Sulfuron Ingot] to Lokhtos Darkbargainer in the Grim Guzzler in Blackrock Depths. There is no reputation requirement to receive the plans.
Sulfuras is the mighty weapon of Ragnaros the Firelord. The weapon never leaves his grasp. It is composed of flaming red elementium and etched from end to end with intricate runes that seem to move like flowing lava across the weapons surface. Sulfuras is covered with many vicious pikes of varying sizes, each white hot and surrounded by the distortion of shimmering heat.
When a creature is slain by Sulfuras, its body is consumed by intense flame and effectively disintegrated, leaving behind only a pile of ash. The heat and pressure of this effect solidifies the ash into a hard, dark, crystal. This crystal is known as an eye of Sulfuras and is used by Ragnaros' followers in ancient rituals or to craft special weapons such as sulfuron hammers.
Sulfuron Hammers
Ragnaros wields a massive weapon named Sulfuras. It is far too massive for most mortals to even dream of wielding, even if they could somehow defeat the elemental Firelord. However, fanatical followers of Ragnaros found a way to craft hammers in its image. Each requires an eye of Sulfuras, and these lesser weapons are known as sulfuron hammers. A sulfuron hammer appears to be a smaller version of Sulfuras. It is a spiked, flaming red warhammer. The hammer is crafted entirely from elementium, with an eye of Sulfuras embedded deep in the hammer’s head.

Binds when picked up
Use: The Eye of Sulfuras can be combined with the Sulfuron Hammer to create Sulfuras, legendary hammer of Ragnaros.
Sulfuron Hammer is an epic two handed mace, used primarily for the purpose of crafting [Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros]. It is crafted by blacksmiths with a skill level of 300. The materials are:
8x [Sulfuron Ingot]
20x [Dark Iron Bar]
50x [Arcanite Bar]
25x [Essence of Fire]
10x [Blood of the Mountain]
10x [Lava Core]
10x [Fiery Core]
[Plans: Sulfuron Hammer] are obtained as a quest reward for [60D] A Binding Contract, which is completed by turning in a [Sulfuron Ingot] to Lokhtos Darkbargainer in Blackrock Depths. There is no reputation requirement to receive the plans.
All Blacksmiths can obtain this pattern. To receive the plans you must bring a single [Sulfuron Ingot] which drops from Golemagg the Incinerator. You need to have an ingot in your inventory when you speak to him and you will be given a dialog option which leads to A Binding Contract quest, that gives you the plans. Reputation is not needed to receive these plans, although you receive 800 reputation for completing this quest. Plans are not BoP.
Now, before you actually craft the hammer, you will want to obtain an [Eye of Sulfuras], which has an even lower drop percentage (from Ragnaros). Mats used to cost several thousand gold, but are now much cheaper since the release of TBC and WoTLK. Combine the [Sulfuron Hammer] with the [Eye of Sulfuras] and you will get the legendary hammer, [Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros]. If you know someone who can craft the hammer, it is advisable to pay them a fee, rather than using an Ingot, which is a rare drop.
