Overview

Dread Gladiator's Greatsword

Game iconDread Gladiator's Greatsword is a two-handed sword from the Dread Gladiator's arsenal, an Alliance PvP reward set. The blade features strict white-and-gold heraldry with crisp edges and a massive crossguard, making it a quintessential "knightly" weapon in the warfront style of Battle for Azeroth.

This epic-quality weapon debuted in the Battle for Azeroth expansion and belongs to the first PvP season. The sword is restricted to Alliance races, so it looks most natural on human and dwarf warriors and paladins. For transmog collectors, it is valuable as part of the recognizable gladiator arsenal with a clean, ceremonial aesthetic.

Source

The sword is part of the Season 1 rewards of Battle for Azeroth. The rated season itself ended long ago, but the appearance is still available through purchase with PvP currency.

  • Originally, the weapon was awarded for Conquest points in Season 1 of Battle for Azeroth.
  • The appearance is now sold for Game iconMarks of Honor from the vendor of outdated PvP gear.
  • For the Alliance, the vendor is Marshal Gabriel, who is located in Boralus.
  • Marks of Honor are earned in any PvP content: battlegrounds, arenas, and PvP quests.
  • A rating is no longer required to purchase it — you just need to accumulate the necessary number of marks.

Since the previous season has passed, there is no need to chase a rating: the appearance is obtained purely with currency, and you can farm it in whatever PvP mode is comfortable for you.

Who It Suits Visually

  • It harmonizes with the Season 1 Dread Gladiator's plate set from Battle for Azeroth — assembling a single ceremonial look.
  • It suits white-and-gold knightly concepts for Alliance warriors and paladins.
  • It contrasts with the dark armor of death knights — a debatable but striking choice.
  • It pairs with cloaks in blue and gold tones, reinforcing the heraldic motif of the warfronts.

Tips

1

The appearance is bought for Marks of Honor, so there is no need to accumulate a rating — just play any PvP.

2

It is convenient to collect several arsenal items at once in a single trip to the vendor to obtain a complete set.

3

Marks of Honor also drop from recurring PvP quests, so you can accumulate the currency even with infrequent forays onto the battlegrounds.

4

The sword is restricted to Alliance races: its appearance is unavailable on a Horde character, so keep this in mind when planning your look.

5

At the maximum level of 90 in Midnight, this weapon's combat stats are irrelevant — it is valuable solely as transmog.

6

If you want the full "gladiator" set, check the same vendor for the Dread Gladiator's armor for your armor class.

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.
