Get Crystal-Shot Longrifle

Crystal-Shot Longrifle is a two-handed firearm appearance added in the Warlords of Draenor expansion. The model is built around a large crystal that charges the barrel with energy: when fired, the rifle flares with a bluish light, and sparks run along its body. It is one of the most recognizable ranged weapon appearances of that era — later, some artifact guns adopted a similar aesthetic.

The item is classified as a "cosmetic effect" with item level 1: it has no real stats and exists purely for its looks. When used, the appearance is permanently added to your warband's transmogrification collection, after which the rifle can be applied to any suitable gun.

This appearance suits hunters who carry a gun, as well as any other classes that equip ranged weapons for the sake of looks.

The appearance is a reward for the meta-achievement Challenge Warlord: Gold. To unlock it, you need to complete all Warlords of Draenor dungeons in Challenge Mode with a gold rating. Once the achievement is earned, the weapon appearances become available for purchase from the Challenge Mode vendors.

• For the Alliance, the weapons are sold by Challenger Savina in Stormshield.
• For the Horde, the same weapons are sold by Challenger Sunforge in Warspear.
• Each individual appearance cost 1,000 gold when purchased separately.
• You can also buy the entire set of appearances at once — the item Arsenal: Draenor Challenger's Armaments unlocks all of the achievement's rewards in a single action.

An important detail: the Warlords of Draenor Challenge Mode is no longer active, so the "Challenge Warlord: Gold" achievement cannot currently be obtained. The appearance remains with those who managed to meet the requirement back in the day; it is unavailable to new players until Blizzard brings this content back or offers it another way.

• It harmonizes with plate and mail sets in cold blue tones thanks to the crystal's glow.
• It fits "magitech" themed looks and Draenor orc engineering.
• It stands out against a hunter's dark leather armor — the crystal becomes the only bright accent.
• It pairs well with other weapon appearances from the same Challenge Mode set if you are assembling a themed ensemble.
