Get Gladiator's Battered Greatsword

Gladiator's Battered Greatsword is a two-handed sword that exists purely for its appearance: in the tooltip it is flagged as a "Cosmetic Effect," has an item level of 1, and carries no stats whatsoever. It is a freshly polished replica of the blade wielded by the legendary gladiator Lo'Gosh, and the weapon's silhouette directly references the sword Shalamayne, complete with the Alliance lion heraldry on its guard.

The model is massive, with a broad blade and a warm golden-bronze glow along the hilt. The sword was added to World of Warcraft in the Dragonflight expansion (patch 10.2.5), and in patch 11.0.5 it was renamed from its previous version. Since this is an illusion for the transmog collection, the item is unlocked account-wide right away and is available to any class capable of wielding two-handed swords.

The sword is purchased with an in-game currency at the Trading Post — the monthly cosmetics shop located in Stormwind and Orgrimmar.

• The price is 275 Trader's Tender.
• Trader's Tender is awarded monthly for completing tasks from the "Traveler's Log": it is easy to gather 500 Tender or more in a single month.
• The item appears in the Trading Post's rotation during certain months, so if it is not on the list right now, it will return in one of the upcoming updates.
• The purchase is bound to your account (Warband): you only need to buy the sword once, and the illusion becomes available to all of your characters.
• Unredeemed items from previous months can be "frozen" so you can guarantee acquiring them later without waiting for the rotation to come around again.

• It harmonizes with plate sets in the golden-blue palette of the Alliance — for example, the tabards of Stormwind and the armor of the 7th Legion.
• The lion heraldry on the guard makes the sword a natural choice for looks based on Alliance knights and paladins.
• The warm bronze glow contrasts nicely with dark plate, adding a bright accent to gloomy sets.
• It suits an "arena veteran" concept: the worn, battle-tested surface of the blade reads as the mark of many fights.
• For a mirrored Horde look, take the matching Gladiator's Ragged Greatsword in a red-and-black palette.
