Overview

Dragonscale-Encrusted Longblade

Game iconDragonscale-Encrusted Longblade is an epic one-handed sword from The Burning Crusade expansion. It is a graceful longblade encrusted with dragon scales: the cool bluish shimmer and the scaled pattern along the edge nod to the blue dragon Kalecgos, the very boss it drops from.

The blade has a light, clean silhouette without bulky details, so it works equally well in the hands of an agile fighter and as a ceremonial weapon. Today the item is valued purely as transmog: its combat stats have long been irrelevant.

Many classes can wield one-handed swords, so the appearance suits most melee characters. Its cool blue-and-silver palette makes it a handy accent for "dragon" and magic-themed looks.

Source

The sword drops in an old raid from The Burning Crusade expansion — PvE content that is easily soloed these days.

  • The source is Kalecgos, the first boss of the Sunwell Plateau raid.
  • The sword has a low drop chance, so farming it may stretch over several weeks.
  • The Kalecgos fight originally took place across two realms at once, but at the current Midnight level the boss dies in a matter of seconds.
  • The loot is tied to the raid's weekly lockout: you can try your luck once a week per character.
  • The sword binds on pickup, so only the character who killed the boss can unlock the appearance.

Who It Suits Visually

  • The bluish dragon scales make the sword ideal for blue-dragon-themed looks — a cool blue-and-silver palette.
  • The graceful silhouette pairs well with the lighter sets of mages, rogues, and agile warriors, where a bulky blade is unwanted.
  • The scaled pattern echoes dragon-themed plate armor and ties together a complete dragon knight or guardian look.
  • The neutral, cool metal tone matches silver and white armor without drawing attention to itself.

Tips

1

Farm the raid once a week: raid boss loot is tied to a weekly lockout per character.

2

At the current Midnight level, Sunwell Plateau can be soloed, so farming the appearance is safe and fast.

3

To lock the appearance into your collection, equip the sword at least once.

4

Many classes can wield one-handed swords, so the appearance will be useful for most melee characters.

5

The same raid drops plenty of other weapon and armor appearances — it makes sense to collect everything per run for the collection.

6

If the sword refuses to drop for a long time, take a look at other one-handed blades of The Burning Crusade era — several of them are close in silhouette.

7

Bring a character who can equip a one-handed sword, otherwise the appearance won't unlock.

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.
