Deathdancer's Warglaive — Transmog Set Guide
Overview

Deathdancer's Warglaive is a one-handed warglaive from the Night Fae weapon set, added in Shadowlands. It is a curved, sickle-shaped blade with a dark, smoky-purple edge and a twisted hilt in the natural aesthetic of Ardenweald: an interweaving of wood and bone motifs instead of the usual demonic steel.
The glaive uses the same base model as the rest of the Night Fae covenant warglaives and differs from its siblings only in coloring. The Deathdancer is the darkest variant of the palette: muted blue-purple tones with a cold glow along the edge. In terms of stats the item has long been irrelevant, but as a transmog it remains an excellent choice for demon hunters who want to move away from the classic green-and-fiery look of the Fel toward dark nature magic.

The glaive does not drop from bosses — it is sold by the Night Fae covenant quartermaster in their stronghold, the Heart of the Forest, in Ardenweald. It is a cosmetic weapon that unlocks the appearance upon purchase.
To buy the glaive, you need to:
- Be a member of the Night Fae covenant (or switch your covenant to it).
- Reach the required Renown level with the covenant — appearance weapons unlock as your Renown grows.
- Have a sufficient supply of currencies: the purchase costs Reservoir Anima and Grateful Offering.
Reservoir Anima accumulates from Ardenweald quests and activities and is funneled into the stronghold's anima reservoir. Grateful Offering is given by the residents of the Shadowlands for developing the anima conductor in your stronghold. Both currencies are tied to the covenant, so farming runs in parallel with leveling Renown — by the time the required level unlocks, the needed amount is usually already saved up.
Account-bound: the appearance unlocks for your entire account, but the item itself is purchased on a Night Fae member character. No group is required — everything is done solo.
Who It Suits Visually
- Demon hunters moving away from the green fire of the Fel — the dark-purple edge looks great with armor in cold tones.
- Looks built around the aesthetic of Ardenweald and the Night Fae — the glaive complements sets with wood, bone, and pollen-blue motifs.
- Builds in a blue-purple palette — the glaive works as an accent piece alongside cloth and leather in the same shades.
- Dark, "shadowy" looks — the muted glow along the blade reinforces the somber, otherworldly theme of the Shadowlands.
Tips
Farm both currencies in advance: by the time the required Renown level unlocks, you will already have a stock of Reservoir Anima and Grateful Offering.
Grateful Offering is most conveniently gathered through the anima conductor in your stronghold — channel anima into active nodes and complete the activities tied to them.
If you are no longer in the Night Fae, weigh whether it is worth switching covenant for the appearance: switching back and forth requires re-earning Renown.
All four colorways are one model, so to complete the collection it is enough to buy the variants from the same vendor without hunting for them in other content.
Alongside the glaives, the same vendor sells the rest of the Night Fae weapons in the same style — convenient for assembling a full set for a single look in one trip.
At the current level cap, all Ardenweald content can be completed solo, so farming currencies and Renown does not require a group.
