Dragonscale-Encrusted Longblade — Transmog Set Guide
Overview

Dragonscale-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
Farm the raid once a week: raid boss loot is tied to a weekly lockout per character.
At the current Midnight level, Sunwell Plateau can be soloed, so farming the appearance is safe and fast.
To lock the appearance into your collection, equip the sword at least once.
Many classes can wield one-handed swords, so the appearance will be useful for most melee characters.
The same raid drops plenty of other weapon and armor appearances — it makes sense to collect everything per run for the collection.
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.
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.
