Get Bow of the Great Dark
Overview

Bow of the Great Dark is a rare-quality two-handed ranged weapon introduced in the Midnight expansion. The bow takes the ranged slot and suits hunters as the only class that wields this type of weapon.
The model is done in a dark color scheme with cold purple-black tones, nodding to the theme of the Great Dark beyond Azeroth. The silhouette is compact, with carved bow limbs and a drawn string without any visible magical glow, giving it a stern, restrained look.
The item level is 237 and the required character level is 90. In terms of power this is early-season Midnight gear, but for transmog what matters is its model, not its stats.
Source
The bow drops in Midnight Season 1 dungeons and belongs to the Adventurer upgrade track. That explains the item level cap of 6/6 at 237 — this track does not upgrade beyond that.
- Source — rewards for completing dungeons of the current Midnight season.
- The item becomes soulbound when equipped, so it cannot be traded to another player.
- The drop chance for a ranged weapon in dungeons is lower than for armor, so farming may take time.
- There is no attempt limit: you can run dungeons as many times as you need until you get the model you want.
If the bow does not drop from the reward chest, it makes sense to repeat your runs and meanwhile gather keys for expanded dungeons, where the overall loot volume is higher.
Who it suits visually
- Suits dark, "shadowy" hunter looks built around purple-black armor.
- Pairs well with sets in a cold palette — for example, plate and mail in dark tones from Midnight content.
- Contrasts with light and gilded armor, so for ceremonial looks it is better to pick a brighter ranged weapon.
- Works nicely with Void and cosmic-emptiness themes thanks to the reference to the Great Dark in its name and coloring.
Tips
Ranged weapons drop less often than armor, so plan for several dungeon runs specifically to farm the bow.
Once you unlock the appearance, you keep it in your collection forever — you do not have to wear the item itself for transmog.
While farming the bow you also collect other dungeon loot, so your runs are never wasted.
To quickly check whether you have the appearance, open your appearances collection and look for the entry under the ranged slot.
If you need a temporary stand-in until the bow drops, save a couple of similar dark models from the list above in advance.
Running dungeons in a group is more convenient: it speeds up the runs and increases the total number of attempts per session.
