Overview

Drustwrought Scythe

Game iconDrustwrought Scythe is a two-handed staff of uncommon quality that appeared in the Shadowlands expansion alongside the Ardenweald zone. It is a typical Drust-style weapon: a curved, woven shaft of dark twigs and bones, topped with a sickle-shaped finial that looks as if it were braided from sorcerous vines. Its appearance echoes Drust culture, familiar from Drustvar, but takes on a darker, more "otherworldly" tone here.

By type, the item is a two-handed staff and suits magical specializations that use intellect: mages, druids, priests, shamans, warlocks, monks, and evokers. For transmogrification it is the model that matters, while the stats are outdated — this staff is taken for its looks, not its combat value.

Source

The scythe drops from a rare enemy named Hunter Vivanna, a member of the Wild Hunt who roams Ardenweald. She is a ground-based rare mob of level 61 that spawns within the zone.

  • The scythe's drop chance from Hunter Vivanna is about 1.33%, so it may take several runs.
  • You can find the rare enemy at the coordinates /way 67.4 51.4 in Ardenweald.
  • Besides a direct kill, such Drust items can also be found in the zone's treasure chests, for example in the Decayed Husk object.
  • The "Decayed Husk" treasure appears at several spots in Ardenweald, so while farming it is worth checking the zone's known treasure spawn points.
  • Access to Ardenweald opens up over the course of the Shadowlands story campaign, and there are no separate requirements to farm the scythe.

Visual fit

  • It harmonizes with dark woven and bone sets in the style of the Drust and the witches of Drustvar.
  • It suits gloomy sets in earthy and gray-green tones, characteristic of Ardenweald and the Wild Hunt.
  • It contrasts with light cloth armor, creating the image of a dark druidic shaman or seer.
  • It is fitting in looks that play on the theme of nature, decay, and an otherworldly forest.

Tips

1

Hunter Vivanna also drops other Drust items, for example the inv_axe_2h_drustvar_b_01Drustwrought Executioner, so a single rare mob covers several appearances at once.

2

Ardenweald's rare mobs usually spawn with a delay, so if the spot is empty it makes sense to return later or look for a world copy with a live rare enemy.

3

Before heading in, check whether the "Decayed Husk" treasure has appeared nearby — it also drops Drust items.

4

For farming, classes with high mobility and quick rare-mob kills are convenient, such as a paladin or a demon hunter.

5

Since the staff is of uncommon quality, you don't need to farm it at max level — old Shadowlands content is easily soloed.

6

Collect all the Drust weapons from this rare mob in a single farming cycle so you don't have to return to the spot several times.
