Overview

Большой меч Предвидения

Game iconGreatsword of Forlorn Visions is an epic-quality two-handed sword from The Burning Crusade expansion. It is a broad blade in a cool blue-steel palette with purple magical accents, designed in the aesthetic of ethereal energy and the Twisting Nether dimension.

The model belongs to the classic "energy" swords of the Outland era: a massive guard, glowing veins running along the blade, and an overall silhouette that reads well even from a distance. This appearance is valued for its expressive yet not overly detailed look and for the rarity of the model itself.

For transmog only the appearance matters, and here the sword offers a recognizable naaru-tech blade that is also obtained in a regular dungeon and available solo. The item belongs to The Burning Crusade content and has long been outdated in terms of stats, so today people get it purely for the look.

Source

The sword drops from the final boss of the dungeon — you need to enter the dungeon, not the raid.

  • The source is Warp Splinter, the final boss of The Botanica dungeon in the Twisting Nether.
  • The Botanica is part of the Tempest Keep complex and is located in the Twisting Nether; the dungeon entrance is marked by the coordinates /way 34.2 36.8 The Botanica.
  • The sword's drop chance, according to Wowhead, is about 11.5 percent per kill, meaning on average one trophy from roughly nine runs.
  • The dungeon is outdated and can be cleared solo at max level without any trouble — you can farm Warp Splinter as many times in a row as you like.
  • The boss is located at the very end of the dungeon, so each run requires clearing the path to him, but at the current level this takes just a few minutes.

Visual Compatibility

  • Pairs well with sets in blue-purple and steel-gray palettes — especially with armor themed around ethereals and Twisting Nether magic.
  • Harmonizes with appearances themed around arcane and void magic thanks to the blade's glowing veins.
  • Looks great in death knight and warrior sets where you need a large "magical" two-handed sword.
  • Contrasts with warm golden plate armor — a debatable but striking "cold against warmth" approach.
  • Suits looks themed around Outland and the naaru when you need an expressive accent blade.

Tips

1

The sword can be worn by any class that uses two-handed swords: warrior, paladin, death knight.

2

It is most convenient to farm at max level 90 — Warp Splinter dies in seconds, and the entire run takes a few minutes.

3

The dungeon has no weekly lockout on outdated content, so you can run to the boss back to back, resetting the dungeon between attempts.

4

With a chance of about 11 percent, be prepared for several runs; to speed things up, reset the dungeon via the difficulty menu and re-enter.

5

To reach The Botanica, head to the Twisting Nether toward the Tempest Keep complex and look for the dungeon entrance at the coordinates given.

6

The appearance is account-bound once obtained, so it is enough to get the sword on a single character to unlock it for everyone.

7

Along with this sword you can collect the rest of The Botanica appearances — a single route through the dungeon covers several transmog goals at once.
