What is Thane’s Authority?

The Thane’s Authority is an extremely powerful two-handed Greataxe in Runescape Dragonwilds as a tier 4 melee weapon. It is one of the best at dealing damage, evaluatively so in the range of 86-151, making hits to demand mid-game heavy-hitting features for a good number of players. It delivers an attack combo of four hits with a block value of 40, relatively slower swings than lighter weapons. A combat-activated special attack is one of its main features, but it costs +15% extra stamina usage.

Thane’s Authority is actively sought out by players due to its sheer power and unique combat experience. It has a very high damage-dealing capacity. After successfully parrying an opponent, the enemy’s health will be taken down quickly.

 

Unlocking the Crafting Recipe

In order to obtain the crafting recipe for Thane’s Authority, players need to face and defeat the Garou Thane. This creature appears in certain locations, including the Fractured Plains, Bloodblight Swamp, and Stormtouched Highlands. The Garou Thane can be differentiated from the others in its variant by its shield that spans its body length.

Garou Thanes, when killed up, drop the Vestige: A Brutal Bladehead, the real key needed to unlock the crafting recipe. However, chances of acquiring these drops are rare and may cost players numerous defeats of Garou Thane. Sometimes, players go even over a hundred to eventually get the vestige.

Another option for acquiring vestige is fighting the Garou King, a tougher boss located in the Fractured Plains’ northwest corner. It has a higher drop rate and can be a more viable target for gaining this vestige as it would be a little more difficult to acquire. They respawn every two to three in-game days. Strategic use of the lodestones to fast travel to their spawn locations are required for farmers looking for the recipe.

Crafting Thane’s Authority

Having acquired the blueprint, players may now create Thane’s Authority at a Smithing Anvil if the player has the materials.

  • 10x Iron Bar

  • 8x Bronze Bar

Iron Bars will involve mining and smelting Iron Ore gathered from the Stormtouched Highland. Meanwhile Copper and Tin Ores from the Fractured Plains will be used in creating Bronze Bars. Oak Logs can be gathered from oak trees. And lastly, Vault Shards usually require either a high-level chest or a rare drop in the area.
