Dawnforged Long Blade — Transmog Set Guide

Dawnforged Long Blade is a one-handed sword of uncommon (blue) quality, added to World of Warcraft with the Midnight expansion. It is a classic knightly blade with a straight, double-edged blade and warm gold-and-bronze hilt detailing, kept in the "dawn" color palette of the expansion's smithing line.

The model is versatile: the clean silhouette, free of flashy spikes and glow, fits most "classic" warrior looks. In terms of stats, this is entry-level gear for a level 90 character, but for transmog what matters is the model, not the damage numbers.

The blade does not drop from bosses and cannot be bought with reputation — it is crafted by blacksmiths.

• Profession: Midnight Blacksmithing, skill 25 required.
• The recipe is learned from the Midnight blacksmithing trainer; the training cost is 160 gold.
• Crafting time is about 2 seconds, and a blacksmith hammer is needed.
• The finished item becomes soulbound on equip, so you cannot craft it "for sale" toward someone else's transmog — make it on the character who needs the model.

Reagents per craft:

Both reagents are basic raw materials from the starter branch of Midnight Blacksmithing, so they are easy to gather even with a freshly leveled profession.

If you want exactly this gold-and-steel sword, there is no direct recolor of the blade itself on sale — for the closest matches in mood, look among plain one-handed swords with warm metal and no glow.

• For "sunlit" and paladin-style looks with gold and bronze — the blade echoes the warm palette of such sets.
• Looks great paired with light plate armor: the even metal of the blade does not pull attention away from the armor.
• Suits neutral "knightly" sets that call for a stern sword without effects or spikes.
• It contrasts with dark leather or mail armor — a debatable but expressive choice for the look of a wandering mercenary.
