Get Blade of Dormant Memories

Blade of Dormant Memories is an epic one-handed dagger of item level 200, added to World of Warcraft in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Its silhouette is a classic dark-forged stiletto: a narrow faceted blade with a slim guard and a dark hilt, free of any glowing effects. The color scheme is a muted steel edge with a faint cold sheen, which makes the item a handy neutral fit for dark and undead-themed sets.

The dagger uses the weapon model from the Stratholme set, while its stats — intellect, stamina, critical strike rating and haste — tie it to caster specializations: mages, druids, priests, shamans and warlocks. For actual combat in Midnight the item has long been irrelevant due to its low level, but as a transmog option it remains in demand thanks to its austere, minimalist look and its availability in solo play.

The blade drops from Patchwerk — the first boss of the Abomination Wing in the Naxxramas raid on the 10-player difficulty. This is a Wrath of the Lich King era raid, located in the northern part of the Dragonblight (Northrend).

• Location: Dragonblight, entrance coordinates /way 87.7 51.0 Naxxramas.
• Boss: the abomination, the first opponent encountered in the Abomination Wing.
• Difficulty: only the 10-player version of Naxxramas. On the 25-player version this item is not part of the loot table.
• Drop chance: the exact percentage is not publicly recorded, but the item competes with a dozen other loot options from this boss, so several runs are needed on average.
• Binding: "Binds when picked up" — the item is bound to the character who collects it.
• Cooldown: the raid resets once a week, but in solo play the limit of one boss kill per week per character does not apply (an old raid can be cleared in full every week).

• Dark undead and cultist sets — for example, Scourge gear from the Dragonblight and Icecrown.
• Gothic priest and warlock robes with a cold color palette (gray, black, bluish metal).
• Mage outfits with a minimalist "alchemical" leaning, where you don't want flashy effects on the weapon.
• As a paired weapon for balance druids and shamans who already have a dark staff or shield with an undead theme.
• For contrast — against bright, light cloth sets as a "weight" to the silhouette, giving the character a sinister accent.
