Get Honed Bastard Sword

Honed Bastard Sword is a two-handed sword added as an appearance through the Trading Post system in the Dragonflight expansion. It is a classic bastard blade of austere shape: a long straight edge, a simple crossguard, and a wrapped hilt with no excessive ornamentation. The flavor text sums up its essence tersely: "A sword forged from crude iron."

This is a pure appearance item — it adds a transmogrification illusion to your entire warband's collection. The sword suits looks that call for a restrained, realistic two-hander without magical effects or glow: knights, mercenaries, plain warriors. The minimalism of the model makes it a versatile foundation for many sets.

The Honed Bastard Sword is sold at the Trading Post for Trader's Tender.

• The appearance costs 100 Tender.
• The Trading Post is a monthly reward system: every month the stock of goods is refreshed, and Tender is earned by completing in-game tasks from the monthly journal.
• Tender accumulates account-wide, so you can stockpile the currency on any character you like.
• After purchase, the appearance is unlocked for the warband collection and becomes available to all eligible characters.

If the sword is not in the current month's lineup, you can place it in the "Frozen Cache" for the future, when it returns to the rotation, or simply wait for the item to reappear.

• Harmonizes with realistic plate and mail sets in steel and gray tones.
• Looks great in knight and mercenary looks where a strict, non-magical aesthetic matters.
• Works as a neutral foundation for looks that emphasize the armor rather than the weapon.
