Get Freezing Greatsword of the Ebon Blade

Freezing Greatsword of the Ebon Blade is a two-handed sword available exclusively to death knights. It is a massive blade with a dark hilt and a broad edge across which a cold, bluish glow flows, evoking frost magic and the theme of death. The model comes from the Ebon Blade starting weapon set and captures the grim aesthetic of the undead well.

The item appeared in the Battle for Azeroth expansion (patch 8.3.0), when the death knight starting experience received its own sets of introductory weapons. The freezing variant is one of four color versions of the two-handed sword from this set; each version differs in the hue of the glow along the blade.

This is a simple but recognizable model: it suits those who put together a "classic" death knight look without flashy effects and prefer the stern silhouette of a great sword.

The blade is awarded for the quest Death's Power Grows — one of the tasks in the death knight starting chain in Acherus: The Ebon Hold, the floating Scourge fortress above the Eastern Plaguelands.

• The quest is available to any new death knight while going through the class's introductory campaign.
• The reward offers several weapon appearances — pick exactly the two-handed sword with the glow color you want.
• You can obtain the item once per character during the starting chain.
• The appearance is bound to your transmogrification collection as soon as you receive it, so it is enough to take a death knight through the starting zone once.

Since this is an introductory weapon, no farming, reputation, or raids are required — all you need is a freshly created death knight character.

• It harmonizes with dark death knight plate sets dominated by black and steel colors.
• The blue glow of the blade echoes appearances in icy and frosty themes — a good fit for the Frost specialization.
• It looks great paired with cloaks and shoulders that have cold blue accents.
• It contrasts with warm gold and crimson sets — such a look is debatable but striking.
