More about Arcanite Ripper boost

Arcanite Ripper boost is truly the most rapid way to obtain this amazing axe-guitar. Yes, you've read it right: axe-guitar – you can swing it to obliterate your foes and you can play it to encourage your allies. That's lots of utility! However, getting it these days is not the easiest thing to accomplish: you have to spend days or even weeks tracking black market lots and you are likely to hate that process after a while. But worry not: ArmadaBoost has all the necessary tools and expertise to solve that for you! You won't have to do anything and you'll still receive this Ripper! Your collection is never complete without this heavy metal enemy-cutter and here's your perfect chance to have it. We've come up with a little FAQ to help you learn more about it.

What was the original way to get the Arcanite Ripper? 

Simply put, it dropped from the original Karazhan (raid) during the pre-expansion event before the Wrath of the Lich King release. So back in the Burning Crusade days if you had a high-level and well-geared character (not too well-geared though, as Karazhan was a pretty easy raid), you could entertain yourself with trying to get this axe while waiting for WotLK to go live. The boss you could loot it from was Tenris Mirkblood, one of the first bosses there. It wasn't hard to beat the boss but winning the roll for the axe wasn't as easy. So you had time during the pre-patch and then 2 weeks (that's 2 tries) after the release – that made getting the axe with a death knight virtually impossible as you'd hardly level it up fast enough and you'd hardly find a raid team willing to go to Karazhan which was quite outdated by that moment. The Arcanite Ripper was a real gem and having it for so little in the game was a crime. Thankfully, Blizzard realized that and made it one of the highlight features of their brand new black market auction house in Mists of Pandaria. And it remains available there till this day.

Can every character use Arcanite Ripper?

Unfortunately, not. It can only be used by warriors, paladins, and death knights – all of which can wield two-handed axes. No other class can. However, there's a peculiar exception: if you get this axe with a warlock, you can actually equip this axe for your deathguard if you have the proper glyph allowing that. 

Which is right: Arcanite Ripper or Arcanite Reaper?

This item is called Arcanite Ripper. So that's the only name you should use when you refer to the guitar-axe obtainable from the Black Market. But Arcanite Reaper is also a thing. There's another 2-handed axe that looks identically – it used to be one of the best weapons a DPS warrior could use. It wasn't easy to get it as you could only craft it. If you know what crafting looked like in Classic, you can imagine the pain of doing that, especially when there's a high-end weapon involved. So the Ripper was an obvious reference to that old Reaper – an homage, if you will. Blizzard devs seem to love this item a lot as they made a third instance is it in the game as a herloom weapon – Bloodied Arcanite Reaper. So you can collect them all, if you're truly an Arcanite Ripper/Reaper fan!
