Gold-Plated Battleaxe — Transmog Set Guide

The Gold-Plated Battleaxe is a one-handed axe from the The War Within expansion, introduced alongside the goblin zone of Undermine in patch 11.1. It is a weapon in the loud, lavish goblin aesthetic: a wide blade with a gold coating, a deliberately expensive sheen, and the shapes so beloved by the cartels of Undermine. The axe perfectly captures the spirit of profit and ostentatious luxury of the goblin capital.

The item belongs to a series of "gold-plated" goblin weapons sharing a single visual style — swords, blades, guns, and axes with the same golden finish. The axe suits every specialization that uses one-handed axes. For transmog, the model is what matters: the item's stats are not important, since The War Within content quickly becomes outdated.

The axe drops in the Undermine zone — the goblin city from patch 11.1.

• It drops from rare creatures and from hidden treasure caches all across Undermine.
• This is a green weapon of uncommon quality, so the drop rate is relatively generous compared to epic trophies.
• There are no group requirements: the zone's rare creatures and caches can easily be cleared by a single player at the current level cap.
• Caches with golden loot and rare creatures respawn on their own timers, so you can repeat your sweep of the zone.

To reach Undermine, you need to unlock the zone through the patch 11.1 storyline: complete the introductory The War Within quest chain, after which access to the goblin capital opens up. At max level this is done quickly, but it is a mandatory step.

• Ideal for goblin looks and the cartel theme of Undermine thanks to its golden finish.
• It pairs well with armor in yellow-gold and brass tones, as well as with mechanical goblin sets.
• It works great alongside another weapon from the "gold-plated" series for a cohesive golden look.
• It stands out against dark leather or black armor, where the gold of the blade becomes a bright accent.
