Get Black Shepherd's Guisarme

Black Shepherd's Guisarme is a two-handed polearm from The War Within expansion. It is a pole weapon with a long blade of dark chitinous texture, kept in a black-and-purple palette with veins of otherworldly glow. The model references the nerubian and Void theme, so the polearm fits organically into grim and "spider-like" looks.

As a combat weapon the polearm is no longer at its peak, and players take it for its striking, gloomy model. Its dark styling blends well into the sets of death knights, demon hunters, and warriors building a "shadow" look.

Black Shepherd's Guisarme drops in The Dawnbreaker dungeon — a dungeon from The War Within expansion.

• The polearm drops from Anub'ikkaj, one of the bosses of this dungeon.
• The drop chance is low — around 1%, so many runs are usually required.
• The dungeon can be cleared on Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties, as well as in Mythic+ format; for transmog any mode where this boss is available will do.
• Mythic+ offers faster run speeds, so it is more convenient to farm there, gathering the dungeon in a group.
• Loot from a specific boss can be obtained without a strict weekly cap — repeat runs are available, which matters given the low drop chance.

The only source of this model is Anub'ikkaj in The Dawnbreaker dungeon. There are no other ways to obtain this exact item.

• It harmonizes with the dark chitinous sets of nerubian theme from The War Within.
• It suits the looks of death knights and demon hunters in a black-and-purple "shadow" palette.
• It contrasts with bright golden armor — a debatable yet expressive technique for a "fallen" fighter look.
• It complements sets styled after the Void and the underground world, thanks to the otherworldly glow of the blade.
