Overview

Gold-Plated Polearm

Game iconGold-Plated Polearm is a two-handed polearm of uncommon quality from the The War Within expansion. The model is true to the signature goblin aesthetic of Undermine: a broad blade and shaft in golden-brass tones with a flashy, deliberately expensive finish. This weapon belongs to the cartels' series of "gold-plated" items and fits perfectly with looks inspired by wealthy goblin tycoons.

The polearm is used in melee combat and suits classes that wield two-handed polearms. Through transmogrification, its appearance is available to every eligible specialization.

Source

The Gold-Plated Polearm drops in the Undermine zone — a goblin city added in the The War Within expansion. It is an item level 86 piece that drops from cartel enemies throughout the zone as ordinary loot, rather than from a specific raid boss.

Key points on obtaining it:

  • The weapon is bound on pickup, so it cannot be transferred to another character.
  • It is an uncommon-quality item with combat stats of strength and stamina, meaning it is intended for specializations that use plate armor.
  • It drops at random; it has no separate guaranteed source or vendor.

You can reach Undermine through the patch 11.1 storyline: the starting quest chain opens from the city of Dornogal, after which the zone becomes available for free travel. Flying inside Undermine is not allowed, so movement is on foot.

Who It Suits Visually

  • It harmonizes with golden and brass armor sets, especially the goblin and mechanical kits of Undermine.
  • It fits "wealthy mercenary" or cartel tycoon looks thanks to its flashy, expensive finish.
  • It contrasts with dark or matte armor, creating a bright accent on the weapon.
  • It looks great as a matching set with another "gold-plated" weapon from the series if you are building a themed look.

Tips

1

Farming the polearm on purpose is convenient while clearing the quests and rare enemies of Undermine — the weapon drops along the way.

2

Since the item is bound on pickup, you should farm it on the character who needs it for their appearance collection.

3

On classes that wipe out groups of enemies quickly, the chance of seeing the drop is higher per unit of time.

4

Alongside farming, it is worth closing out the zone's reputation and quests — the series weapon drops in the same content as the reputation rewards.

5

If the appearance does not drop for a long time, check the other items in the series: they are identical in style and may suit the same look.
