Get Blade of Hanna
Overview

Blade of Hanna is an epic two-handed sword, one of the items with near-legendary status from the classic era of World of Warcraft. Despite stats that are modest by today's standards, it long ago turned from a combat weapon into a collector's trophy and a coveted transmogrification appearance.
The model keeps to the simple yet recognizable styling of the old world: a broad, straight blade with a massive guard and a plain hilt, with no energy effects or bright glows. It is exactly this austerity that makes the sword valuable — it looks like a "real" noble weapon rather than a magical artifact.
The weapon is of the "two-handed sword" type, so in transmog you can apply it to any two-handed sword of a suitable class — warrior, paladin, or death knight. Its reputation rests largely on the legendary rarity of obtaining it, which is discussed below.
Source
The Blade of Hanna is an epic item with a world drop: it drops from ordinary mobs of the old world and is not tied to a specific dungeon or raid boss. Because of this, getting it has always been a matter of chance and luck.
- Historically, the sword is firmly associated with chimaeroks — elite monsters from the Isle of Dread in Feralas. The main source was considered to be the Chimaerok, a high-level elite monster.
- With the release of Cataclysm, the Isle of Dread was flooded by the waves of the Cataclysm, and the former farming spot disappeared. The sword now remains in the game as a rare world drop rather than a guaranteed kill from a specific location.
- The drop chance is extremely low — that is part of the item's legend. The sword can drop from a wide variety of low-level old-world monsters, so it has no reliable "farm spot."
- There is no attempt limit: the item is not tied to weekly chests or lockouts, and you can keep trying to catch it from the world drop as much as you like.
- The sword shows up on the auction house: given its rarity and cult status, buying it from other players often turns out faster and easier than farming it yourself.
Who it suits visually
- Suits "knightly" and noble plate looks without flashy magic — the sword reads as an honest combat weapon rather than an artifact.
- Harmonizes with sets in a calm gray-steel and bronze palette, where austerity matters more than glow.
- Contrasts with demonic and unholy armor — against that backdrop, the simple sword looks like a symbol of a "righteous" warrior.
- Fitting for historical and classic concepts that hark back to the early days of Azeroth.
- Looks great in the hands of characters built around minimalism: the sword does not steal attention and supports the look rather than competing with it.
Tips
Don't count on a quick farm: this is a world drop with an extremely low chance, so deliberately "forcing" it out is nearly impossible.
The most practical route is to watch the auction house: the cult sword periodically appears for sale, and buying it is often faster than hours of farming.
If you still want to catch the drop yourself, kill large numbers of low-level old-world monsters — the higher your clearing pace, the higher the cumulative chance.
Any copy works for the appearance: an item's stats and item level have no effect on its look in transmog.
Note that the former farming spot on the Isle of Dread is no longer accessible — don't waste time searching for the flooded location.
The sword is prized by collectors, so the auction house price can be high; it makes sense to monitor it for several days to catch a good lot.
You can apply the appearance to any two-handed sword of a suitable class — keep such a sword in your bags in advance so you can apply the transmog right away.

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
