Gavel of Unearthed Secrets — Transmog Set Guide

Gavel of Unearthed Secrets is an epic-quality one-handed blunt caster mace added in The Burning Crusade expansion. It is an elegant ceremonial hammer with Intellect that is prized in transmog as a tidy "priestly" melee weapon. The mace is wielded by classes that can use one-handed maces — primarily priests, shamans, druids, and paladins.

The combat stats are irrelevant for transmogrification — only the look of the hammer matters.

The Gavel of Unearthed Secrets is sold by a vendor rather than dropping from bosses. To buy it, you need maximum reputation with the Lower City faction.

• The vendor is Nakodu, the Lower City quartermaster. He stands in the Lower City district of Shattrath City in Outland.
• You need Exalted reputation with the Lower City faction.
• The price is around 50 gold, which is trivial at max level.
• The easiest way to farm Lower City reputation is in the heroic dungeons of Auchindoun, including the Shadow Labyrinth: they grant reputation all the way up to Exalted.
• At max level 90, these dungeons can be cleared solo very quickly, so the standing builds up in just a few runs.

This hammer has no widely documented recolors. If you want a similar silhouette, look at the one-handed "hammer" maces from The Burning Crusade era in your appearance collection — the ceremonial caster hammers of that period are the closest in style.

• It fits "priestly" and holy looks: the tidy hammer looks great in the light-colored sets of paladins and priests.
• It harmonizes with cloth and mail sets in a golden-white palette.
• It is fitting for retro Outland-era looks — pair it with other Lower City rewards into a single set.
• It contrasts with dark shadow sets — a debatable but meaningful combination for shadow priests.
