I want to try and bring the Orc legacy weapon Guurgal into 5e, but am not sure if porting it directly from 3.5e is a good idea. Is there anything other then the obvious changes that need to be made that i should worry about?

Can you put the Spears stats in here? I have no idea where to find it.

it's in Weapons of Legacy, basicly a +1 cold iron spear that has special significance to Orcs.

If that's it, I'd just port it. Maybe let a priest of Grummish use it as an emblem.

Cold Iron isn't a thing in 5e I don't think. What does Cold Iron do in 3.5?

It overcomes the damage resistances of some kinds of creatures.

Alright, then ya it can go as made as long as the table knows what Cold Iron does. Or put it in explicitly.

It's a +1 spear, so it'd bypass non-magic damage resistance already. The Cold Iron would be a nice flavor thing, though.

Oh yes, of course.... I think someone must have hit me with a feeblemind spell just now.

Yeah, I'd say leave it at +1 in general, and then maybe have it deal an additional 1d6 cold damage to Fey creatures.

ok, here's the exact details of Guurgal, as I have adapted it to 5E:

+1 Magic Spear
Piercing, versatile, thrown, 20ft/60ft
1d6, or 1d8(2H)
Deals 1 extra damage on critical

Wielding Reqs: Orc or Half-Orc, +3 proficiency,

Omen: Whenever Guurgal pierces an inanimate object, that object “bleeds” profusely for 1d4 rounds. Living creatures are unaffected by this oddity, but bleeding objects are omens of victory in Orc culture.

Show of Force (Sp): A cunning warlord knows
sometimes the best tactic is to trick your opponent
into thinking your force is greater than it really is.
Beginning at 5th level, once per day on command, you
can use mirror image as the spell. Caster level 5th.

Incite Horde (Su): At 7th level and higher, Guurgal
grants a +1 bonus on attack rolls and saving
throws against fear to all orcs within 30 feet of you.
This feature, however, does not affect you.

Gather the Horde (Su): Each time Guurgal has
surfaced in the hands of an orc warlord, it has signaled
the coming of a Great Horde. Your ability to create
such a horde is greatly magnified. At 8th level, you
gain advantage on Persuasion and Intimidate checks
made to influence orcs.

Bloodlust (Su): Starting at 13th level, whenever
you deal an opponent damage with Guurgal, you gain
a +1 bonus on your next attack against thesame
opponent. The next attack must occur within 1
round, or the bonus is lost. The bonus is cumulative,
so if your next attack hits, you gain a +2 bonus
on your following attack against that opponent, and
so on up to a maximum attack bonus of +5. As long
as you continue successfully damaging the same foe,
you gain this bonus, but if you miss or fail to damage
the opponent with an attack, the bonus is lost.

Battlefield Fury (Su): At 14th level and higher,
as long as you are leading at least three other orcs or
half-orcs on the field of battle, you gain a +2 bonus
to Strength, and your maximum strength score
increases by 2

Rage of the Boar (Su): Beginning at 20th level,
once per long rest, you can be filled with a
boundless fury that equals a mighty barbarian’s rage.
