Get Ginn-Su Sword

Ginn-Su Sword is a one-handed sword added to World of Warcraft back in the classic version of the game. The model is crafted in the eastern katana style: a long curved blade with a narrow guard and a wrapped hilt in a cold silvery-steel palette. The main feature of the appearance is that the weapon is sheathed on the back rather than at the hip when stowed, which is rare among one-handed swords and makes this blade a notable target for collectors.

This is a one-handed agility sword, so in combat it was historically taken by rogues and warriors, but as a transmog it is available to every class that can wield swords. The clean, minimalist katana silhouette makes it a versatile choice for blademaster, monk, and Asian-themed looks.

The sword is obtained in the Uldaman dungeon — an ancient titan vault in the Badlands. It is a world drop from mobs inside the dungeon, not tied to any specific boss.

• The drop chance is extremely low — around 0.02% per mob, so the sword is considered one of the rarest appearances from classic dungeons.
• The item is bind-on-equip and becomes soulbound only when equipped, meaning it can be bought from the auction house if someone has listed it.
• The source is not limited to a boss: the sword can drop from regular mobs throughout the dungeon, so it makes sense to clear as many enemies as possible per run.
• In Midnight, Uldaman is old content that can be cleared solo at max level 90 in just a few minutes.
• There are no weekly limits: the dungeon can be reset back to back with no cap on attempts.

The most efficient method is to do fast full clears of Uldaman solo, killing the maximum number of mobs per run, and repeat the cycle — or simultaneously monitor the auction house, where the sword is occasionally listed by other players.

This model has no known recolor items — the sword exists in a single silvery-steel coloration. The value of the appearance lies precisely in the rare back-mounted blade, so there are few direct substitutes with the same behavior.

If you want a similar katana silhouette, look for curved eastern-style one-handed swords among classic rewards — but they usually lack the back-mounted sheathing.

• Harmonizes with light leather sets in the eastern style — blademaster and mercenary looks.
• Suits monk and "samurai" sets thanks to the katana silhouette.
• Fits minimalist looks where a clean blade line without excess decoration is valued.
• Pairs with a cold silvery-blue armor palette for a unified steel look.
• Especially striking in a dual-wield rogue look, where both blades are sheathed on the back.
