Get Harvester's Interdiction

Harvester's Interdiction is a two-handed staff added in The War Within expansion. It is a typical nerubian shaft from the dungeons of Azj-Kahet: a dark, resinous head with bony protrusions and oozing drops of black blood, echoing the aesthetic of the aranakk spider folk. The model is built on a frame of chitin and hardened resin, without bright gems — all of its expressiveness rests on a sickly greenish-black palette and organic growths.

The staff is intended for classes that wield two-handed shafts: priests, druids, shamans, mages, warlocks, and monks. For transmog it is the model that matters, while the item's stats play no role — at max level in Midnight this gear has long since fallen behind current equipment in power, but the silhouette remains in demand for grim nerubian and necromantic looks.

The item's own effect fits the theme: melee strikes have some chance to inject unstable black blood into the target, dealing shadow damage. This effect does not carry over to the appearance on transmogrification, but it nicely explains the staff's visual motif.

The staff drops from the final boss of the Ara-Kara, City of Echoes dungeon — Ki'katal the Harvester. She is the last of the location's three bosses; before her come Avanoxx and Anub'zekt.

Key loot details.

• Source: the final boss Ki'katal the Harvester, from her loot.
• Difficulty: the dungeon can be run in modes ranging from Normal and Heroic to Mythic and Mythic+. The item level grows together with the difficulty of the key.
• Format: a five-player group dungeon; a modern group in Midnight clears it quickly.
• Attempt limit: loot from the final boss is not time-limited, so the staff can be farmed every single run.

The dungeon is located in the Azj-Kahet zone, in the depths of Khaz Algar. The simplest route is the portal from Dornogal to Azj-Kahet, then a descent through the City of Threads into the lower tunnels to the huge spider gates that serve as the entrance to Ara-Kara. The dungeon entrance coordinates are around /way 52.1 45.7.

• It harmonizes with plate and leather sets of nerubian theme from the Azj-Kahet dungeons thanks to the shared greenish-black palette.
• It suits necromantic and "plague" looks — the motif of oozing black blood reads well on dark armor.
• It contrasts strikingly with white and bone-colored armor, heightening the impression of corruption and decay.
• It fits druids and shadow-oriented priests, where a grim organic staff without bright gems is needed.
