WOW Loot Hunting - Silent Crusader - The Blade of Naxxramas


A Combat Rogue with 2 Silent Crusaders


Before we adorn this blade with praise and awe let us understand where it came from and possibly learn a little more about the blade itself.

The first thing you should know is that its a drop from several enemies in Naxxramas. Its not dropped by any specific boss but i sought by many due to its unique appearance and nature.

This is obvious due to the possibility of getting this prized blade from the monsters housed in Naxxramas. It wouldn't be a exaggeration to say that its a sword that symbolizes the cold one can only understand in Northrend. 

Although this sword is found in Naxxramas, it cannot always be considered as a evil sword brandished by their users. Just as there is no such thing as absolute evil, there isn't such a thing that there are users that are completely hated and they don't exist as a user cannot always be evil. So I view it more as a decorative weapon that bears the appearance of my cold resolve to render stylish justice! 


The Wow TCG card doesn't have special flavor text but here goes "Shhhh...." -Rordag the Sly


Instead I prefer that we focus on the character Rordag, "Don't think of yourself as bait for the legions of undead. Think of it as more of a diversionary tactic." His flavor text is hilarious. Too bad he isn't bearing the famed blades.

WOW Loot Hunting - Hailstorm - The Ice Blade of Alexstrasza


2 Hailstorm's on a Draenei Deathknight. 


Before we talk about the awesome blade that is the Hailstorm, I think it is befitting if we try to understand why that sword is a reward from Alexstrasza within the chest called Alexstrasza's Gift.


Malygos is basically an aspect who was driven mad by the despair he felt from losing his dragonflight to the encounter with Deathwing or also known as Neltharion. 

After defeating him in his Eye of Eternity, Alexstrasza rewards the heroes who defeated him by dropping the lootable chest, Alexstrasza's Gift. Why she would drop this, I'm not sure but I guess it may have been something she developed with the elements around Northrend. 

To quote the flavor text on the cards, "Da blade may not be made of steel, mon but it still be as sharp as a razor" - Warmaster Bo'jo


Its a fantastic weapon from the Eye of eternity and truly a treat for those of you who are transmoggers as its one of a kind and worth every single effort to get it. If you're looking into getting this, don't forget to run this instance in 10-man normal and good luck :D

On another note, I mentioned Warmaster Bo'jo. For those of you who don't play the WOW TCG, he's a hero card with some funny flavor text. "I don't have a schedule mon, I just make it up as I go!". His card is found in the Illidan set of the Wow card game that is no longer being published.

WOW Loot Hunting - Starshard Edge - The perfect celestials dagger for a rogue


I ran Ulduar today with my Rogue today in order to get the gloves for the terror blade set but then I realized that I still haven't gotten the Starshard edge. Its funny really. I only found out about the presence of this weapon when I started running the MSV raid back in 2012 and realized that Rogues don't seem to get a weapon that is like a constellation.

Its madness isn't it? Rogues deserve to hold the stars in their hands since this would be a coveted weapon as a representative of the celestials. To my surprise though, rogues have had it in their hands as early as the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. The Ulduar raid drops a dagger called the Starshard Edge. Unfortunately it doesn't have a description on it I find that this daggger deserves one.

I would consider this dagger a must-have for any fan of the Ulduar and Throne of Thunder Raids as there are plenty of drops there that hint at their relation to the Celestials. Of course it doesn't end there. The Siege of Orgrimmar has a few drops for the rogue to provide them with armor that symbolizes the users connection to the celestials. I'll post some pics about it but hopefully I'll find a nice replacement for robe that comes with the set.

Funny thing is that in the process of looking for more information about this dagger. I found out that there is one more dagger that drops in the Ulduar raid that is worth mentioning....I'll discuss another time as I'll look into the details behind it.
