Overview

Greed's Folly

Game iconGreed's Folly is an epic one-handed dagger from the Battle for Azeroth expansion. It is a short blade with a heavy spine and a carved Zandalari hilt: golden metal, scale-like engraving and a large gem at the base of the blade. The model is built in the spirit of the Zandalari treasure vault — the very room of trophies guarded by the keeper Opulence.

The dagger belongs to the Battle of Dazar'alor raid weapon set and pairs well with golden, bronze and dark teal looks. By its stats it is an agility weapon, so the model is most often collected by rogues, demon hunters and enhancement shamans — but for transmog the appearance is available to any class that can wield daggers.

The in-game name of the dagger — "Greed's Folly" — is a nod to the very mechanic of the fight: greed for the Zandalari treasures is what dooms those who overestimate their strength before the guardian.

Source

The dagger drops from Opulence — the treasure guardian in the Battle of Dazar'alor raid. This is the fourth boss of the raid and the first in its second wing.

  • The raid belongs to the Battle for Azeroth expansion, patch 8.1.0. It is now legacy content run for transmog, mounts and achievements.
  • The chance to get the dagger from a single kill is about 4.6%. The drop is shared across all difficulties on which you start the fight.
  • Raid difficulties: Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic and Mythic. The dagger's appearance unlocks on any difficulty.
  • The attempt limit is one Opulence kill per character per week on each difficulty. By starting the fight on different difficulties with separate characters, you can increase the number of attempts per week.
  • The Opulence fight runs in two stages: first the raid splits into two groups and fights through trap halls to two Zandalari golems, then finishes off the keeper himself on a platform with gold flying everywhere. For transmog farming of past years, all of this has long been killable by a small group or solo.

How to enter the raid

The entrance to the Battle of Dazar'alor is in your faction's capital: for the Horde it is near the Great Seal in Zuldazar, for the Alliance it is by the docks in Boralus. The simplest way for transmog is to queue for Raid Finder.

  • Horde: speak to Eppu in the Hall of Chroniclers on the second floor of the Great Seal in Dazar'alor.
  • Alliance: speak to Kiku in Boralus.
  • Through these history keepers you can queue for Raid Finder for any wing of the Battle of Dazar'alor. Opulence is in the second wing.

Who it suits visually

  • Suits the Battle of Dazar'alor raid sets of any armor type — the leather, mail and plate sets with Zandalari bone and gold motifs.
  • Harmonizes with golden and bronze looks: a pair of matching daggers on a rogue in golden armor looks cohesive.
  • Works with dark teal and jade shades — the signature palette of Zuldazar.
  • A good choice for themed Zandalari and pirate-treasure looks thanks to the large gem and scale-like carving.
  • Stands out against cold blue or purple armor — a debatable but striking pairing of warm gold and cold metal.

Tips

1

Before the run, set the raid difficulty manually through the group menu — Normal difficulty works for transmog farming, as it starts the fastest.

2

The dagger drops once a week per character on each difficulty, so it makes sense to run Opulence on several characters or on different difficulties.

3

In a single visit to Opulence it is worth grabbing all three Battle of Dazar'alor raid daggers at once — Greed's Folly, the Defiled Acolyte's Blade and Rezan's Last Fang.

4

For solo farming, classes with good survivability and steady damage are convenient — for example a demon hunter or a warrior: the Opulence fight is not hard but drags on because of the two stages.

5

Old raid loot uses legacy content loot rules, so a solo player gets loot from all bosses without distribution.

6

If the dagger does not drop, do not waste time re-entering the same week — the attempt on that difficulty is already used; wait for the reset.

7

The appearance unlocks even if the dagger does not suit your class by stats: you can enter with any character that wields daggers.
