Get Galactic Gladiator's Dagger
Overview

Galactic Gladiator's Dagger is an epic-quality one-handed dagger added to World of Warcraft with the Midnight expansion. It is a first-season PvP reward: a weapon from the Conquest gear set that players obtain through an achievement and a special weapon token.
The model follows the dark, cosmic line of Midnight's first season: a compact blade with a faceted point, rendered in a purple-and-black palette with silver and crimson highlights. The silhouette is sleek and aggressive, with no glow or special effects — the look fits shadow and cosmic concepts well.
As a combat weapon, the item carries Agility, Stamina, critical strike rating and Versatility, so it is in demand among Agility specs — Rogues, Enhancement Shamans, Windwalker Monks, Feral Druids and Survival Hunters who wield daggers. The item level is 197 in the open world and 289 on arenas, battlegrounds and in War Mode. For transmogrification only the appearance matters: it is added to the account collection and can be applied to any one-handed dagger.
Source
The Galactic Gladiator's Dagger is bought from a PvP vendor, not directly for Conquest points, but through a special weapon token granted by an achievement.
- It is a first-season PvP reward of the Midnight expansion, available while the season is active.
- To unlock the weapon choice, you need to earn 2,500 Conquest points on a single character during the current season. This counts toward the achievement Galactic Weapons of Conquest.
- The achievement grants two
Galactic Gladiator's Weapon Token. One token is exchanged for any one-handed or two-handed weapon from the Galactic Gladiator set, including this dagger. - The vendor is Irissa Bloodstar, Conquest Rewards. She stands at Falconwing Square in Silvermoon, in the southwestern part of the city, where all of the season's key PvP vendors are gathered.
- Conquest point progress is counted retroactively: the achievement unlocks automatically as soon as the required total is reached during the season.
- Conquest points are earned in rated 2v2 and 3v3 arenas, rated battlegrounds and in Battleground Blitz mode. No specific rating is required for the dagger itself — all that matters is accumulating 2,500 Conquest points during the season.
- An alternative path purely for the appearance is the blue Honor version,
Galactic Aspirant's Dagger. It is sold by Captain Dawnrunner, Honor Rewards, at the same Falconwing Square. The quality is lower and the silhouette slightly simpler, but a similar model unlocks in the transmogrification collection — it is a quick interim step while you accumulate Conquest points.
Midnight's first season launched in March 2026. Once the season ends, the path through the weapon token will become unavailable and the achievement will move to feats of strength, so it makes sense to plan farming the appearance while the season is active.
Alternatives
The Galactic Gladiator weapon set of Midnight's first season includes several one-handed models in the same cosmic style. All of them are bought the same way — through the weapon token from Irissa Bloodstar.
| Item | Type | Source |
|---|---|---|
| One-handed dagger | Weapon token from Irissa Bloodstar. | |
| One-handed blade | Weapon token from Irissa Bloodstar. | |
| One-handed sword | Weapon token from Irissa Bloodstar. | |
| One-handed dagger (Honor) | Captain Dawnrunner for Honor points. |
If you want a thematically similar dagger from the previous expansion, take a look at the
Forged Gladiator's Dagger — a first-season PvP weapon from The War Within. It is obtained through a similar token system but rendered in a different color palette without the cosmic tones.
Who it suits visually
- Suits the Galactic Gladiator and Galactic Aspirant PvP sets — the dagger is built in the same purple-and-black palette and completes the season's setup.
- Harmonizes with dark sets in cosmic and shadow themes: purple, black and crimson cloth, leather and plate.
- Suits specs that draw on Shadow and the Void — for a Shadow Priest, Warlock or Rogue, the contrasting cosmic blade reinforces the look.
- Contrasts with warm leather and wooden sets — a debatable but expressive pairing of a cold blade and natural armor.
- Looks great dual-wielded with an identical dagger by Rogues — two matching blades create a cohesive galactic silhouette.
Tips
The main goal is to amass 2,500 Conquest points during the season; the method doesn't matter, any rated source counts.
At the start of the season the weapon token comes fastest in Battleground Blitz and ordinary 3v3 arenas — Conquest points trickle in steadily there without hard group requirements.
The achievement Galactic Weapons of Conquest grants two
Galactic Gladiator's Weapon Token, so 2,500 Conquest points unlock two weapon slots of your choice at once.
If the appearance is your only goal, start with the Honor version: the
Galactic Aspirant's Dagger from Captain Dawnrunner is bought without the achievement and noticeably faster.
All of the season's key PvP vendors are gathered at Falconwing Square in Silvermoon — set a hearthstone return point on this hub to quickly drop in for rewards.
After Midnight's first season ends, the path through the weapon token will become unavailable — get the appearance while the season is active.
Once obtained, the appearance unlocks for all characters on the account, so you can farm on any convenient character, not necessarily one who actually wields daggers.
In rated modes the dagger automatically scales to item level 289, while in the open world it stays at 197 — this is normal behavior for all seasonal PvP gear.
