Overview

Earthen Landlubber's Greatsword

Game iconEarthen Landlubber's Greatsword is an epic-quality two-handed sword from The War Within expansion (patch 11.0.7). Its look stays true to the stone-and-gem aesthetic of the earthen people: a wide blade with a faceted edge, with the hilt and pommel decorated by crystal inlays and metal fittings. This weapon suits specializations that wield two-handed swords — warriors, death knights, and paladins.

The model is a color variant of The War Within dungeon weapons. The sword is obtained on Siren Isle, a game zone added in patch 11.0.7 in the northwest of the continent.

Source

The appearance does not drop directly but rather from a special reward cache on Siren Isle.

  • The source is the Game iconEarthen Landlubber's Cache, which you open manually to receive a piece of gear from it.
  • The cache is granted for completing the Storm phase on Siren Isle.
  • To unlock the Storm phase, first fill the island's weekly activity bar to 100% and complete the special quest that appears.
  • During the Storm phase itself, you need to fill a progress bar by completing tasks within the event, after which you receive the cache.
  • The specific weapon from the cache is determined randomly, so getting the sword you want may take several weeks.
  • The zone belongs to the previous expansion and is easily soloed at the current level cap.

Alternatives

This weapon is part of the "earthen landlubber" set, all items of which share the same stone-and-gem palette and are obtained the same way on Siren Isle. If the two-handed sword doesn't fit your class, take a look at the matching variants.

Who It Suits Visually

  • It pairs with plate sets in stone-and-earth tones — especially with the appearances of the earthen people themselves.
  • It harmonizes with sets that feature gem and crystal inlays, for example dwarven and undercity-style looks.
  • It fits The War Within dungeon sets, since it is a color variant of them.
  • It stands out against light cloth and nature-themed looks — a debatable but memorable choice for an unconventional combination.

Tips

1

Fill the island's weekly activity bar in advance so you can unlock the special quest and the Storm phase in time.

2

Farming the appearance is tied to the weekly reset, so return to the island each week for a new cache.

3

Since the item from the cache drops randomly, run several characters — this increases the number of attempts you get per week.

4

During the Storm phase, it pays to complete tasks that grant the most progress on the bar so you can earn the reward faster.

5

The weapon binds to your character on pickup, but the appearance is then unlocked in the collection account-wide.

6

In a single run it's worth collecting all the set weapons you're interested in at once — the model and color are shared across all the items.
