Overview

Стреломет гилнеасского лоялиста

Game iconGilneas Loyalist Boltshot is a crossbow transmog illusion added in Midnight alongside update 12.0.5. Technically it is not a separate weapon but a decorative effect: the item adds the "Crossbow" appearance to your warband's collection, after which it can be applied to any suitable ranged weapon.

The model is rendered in a strict Gilnean style — a massive dark-toned wooden stock, metal trim and a heavy bow. Its silhouette echoes the weapons of the worgen and the soldiers of Gilneas, so the boltshot looks great in sets with a gothic, military theme.

The item is of uncommon quality and is warband-bound, meaning that after purchase the appearance is available to all characters on your account.

The boltshot is sold at the Trading Post — a cosmetics shop that refreshes every month. The illusion was part of the "The Grey Sky of Gilneas" season collection (May 2026), entirely dedicated to Gilneas and the worgen.

  • The price is 150 Trader's Tender.
  • Tender is awarded monthly for completing tasks from the Trading Post journal, so you can gather the required amount for free in a single cycle.
  • The Trading Post is available in four cities: north of the Mage Quarter in Stormwind, near the Thunder Hammer in Orgrimmar, as well as in Dornogal and Silvermoon.
  • "Warband-bound" means the illusion unlocks for all characters on the account at once.

If the month's collection has changed, wait for the boltshot to reappear in the Trading Post's assortment — cosmetics from past seasons periodically return to the rotation.

Who It Suits Visually

  • It pairs with the Game iconEnsemble: Gilneas Loyalist Streetwear set — the look of a disciplined Gilnean marksman comes together completely.
  • The dark wood-and-steel palette fits gothic and Victorian sets typical of the worgen and Gilneas theme.
  • It works well for hunters who want a serious, "military" crossbow without flashy magical effects.
  • It contrasts with light leather armor — a debatable but expressive choice if you want to make the weapon stand out against the rest.
  • A matched pairing with the Game iconGilneas Loyalist Bonecracker mace and the Game iconGilneas Loyalist Knuckleblades fist weapon gives a unified set across different characters.

Tips

1

The illusion is warband-bound, so there is no need to buy it again on other characters — a single purchase is enough.

2

Before spending your tender, check the Trading Post task journal: its rewards are almost always enough to reach 150 tender per month without spending real money.

3

Tender accumulated beyond the limit does not fully expire, but completing all monthly tasks earns you additional cosmetics — it is more worthwhile to close out the journal entirely.

4

If the boltshot is not in the assortment this month, do not waste your tender — save it for the return of the collection you need.

5

The gilded recolor inv_bow_2h_gilneas_b_01Pyrewood Rebel Boltshot costs the same, so you can collect both versions if you wish.

6

The appearance can be applied to any crossbow at the transmogrification master once the illusion is unlocked in your collection.

7

Thematically, the boltshot completes the look together with the inv_gilneashorsemountGilneas Loyalist's Rouncey mount from the same Gilnean collection.
