Get Galactic Gladiator's Gladius

Galactic Gladiator's Gladius is an epic-quality one-handed sword, a PvP reward from the first season of the Midnight expansion. This weapon belongs to the current season's Conquest gear set, designed around a "galactic" theme: the blade is rendered in cool blue-violet tones with a starry, cosmic glow running along its edge.

The sword is part of the Galactic Gladiator arsenal — that is the name of this season's PvP reward tier. In silhouette it is a short gladius with a broad blade that looks great paired with an identical weapon in the off hand.

This is a cosmetically valuable reward: the appearance is available to any class that uses one-handed swords, and the item itself serves as a marker of participation in this season's rated PvP.

The sword is bought with Conquest — the PvP currency of rated arenas and battlegrounds.

• The vendor is Irissa Bloodstar, the Conquest gear merchant in Silvermoon City.
• The purchase costs Conquest, which is earned from wins in rated arenas, battlegrounds, and skirmishes in the battle zone.
• To unlock the ability to buy every Conquest weapon, you need to accumulate 2500 Conquest in a season. Doing so grants the achievement Galactic Weapons of Conquest and a free token for one weapon of your choice.
• The item's base item level is 197, but in arenas and battlegrounds its stats scale up according to PvP gear rules.
• The item is bound on pickup, so it cannot be transferred to another character — the appearance unlocks on the character who buys the sword.

Since this is a reward from the active season, it makes sense to save up Conquest and buy the weapons while the season is ongoing: once the season changes, the vendor's stock is refreshed.

• It harmonizes with the Galactic Gladiator armor set from the same season — the weapon and armor share the same color scheme.
• It fits blue-violet and "starry" sets with cosmic and arcane motifs.
• It pairs well with dark armor: the blade's cool glow stands out in contrast against black plate and cloth.
• It forms a cohesive look when the same weapon is used in both hands — two gladii reinforce the cosmic motif.
• It contrasts with warm golden sets — a debatable but striking choice if you want an accent of cool color.
