Gold-Plated Broadsword — Transmog Set Guide

The "Gold-Plated Broadsword" is a two-handed sword added in The War Within expansion with patch 11.1.0, alongside the Undermine zone. It is a wide blade with a massive guard and a warm golden-brass sheen running the full length of the edge, designed in goblin aesthetics with their love of flashy luxury.

The appearance suits players who collect sets in warm gold and bronze tones. In silhouette it is a classic heavy broadsword without fancy spikes or notches, so it fits both stern knightly looks and the lavish outfits of Cartel mercenaries.

The item is not tied to a raid or dungeon: it drops from ordinary sources all over the zone, so you can obtain the appearance solo over a couple of evenings of farming.

The "Gold-Plated Broadsword" is a world drop from the Undermine zone. It has no specific boss; the item comes from several sources within the goblin city.

• The sword is found in the loot of Undermine caches, which you earn by completing local quests and activities.
• It also drops as a reward for side gigs — short, repeatable tasks around the zone.
• In addition, the item appears in the regular world drop from Undermine mobs.

To access the zone, you only need to reach max level and complete the introductory The War Within storyline that unlocks the flight to the city. No special passes or reputation are required for the appearance itself — it binds on pickup, so you have to earn it yourself, without buying it on the auction house.

There is no attempt limit: you can farm caches and gigs as long as you like until the sword drops.

• It harmonizes with gold and brass plate armor sets — for example, the parade sets of paladins and warriors.
• It complements looks in the aesthetic of the Cartel and the goblin factions of Undermine thanks to its flashy gilding.
• It contrasts with dark leather or cloth armor, creating a bright accent on the weapon.
• It works for wealthy mercenary and merchant concepts where the motif of luxury and gold matters.
