Korven's Crimson Crescent — Transmog Set Guide

Korven's Crimson Crescent is an epic one-handed axe from the Siege of Orgrimmar raid of the Mists of Pandaria expansion. It is a melee weapon with Agility, Stamina, Critical Strike, and Mastery, so the model suits Rogues, Survival Hunters, and Warriors.

Visually, it is a wide, crimson crescent-shaped blade on a dark haft — a distinctly aggressive weapon model from the Horde camp of the siege era. The rich red metal and the predatory curve of the blade make this axe an excellent choice for looks built around a blood-red and black-steel palette.

The item is flagged as scalable: when properly upgraded, it scales with level, which is handy while leveling. In transmog, however, what matters most is its recognizable model.

The axe drops from the "Paragons of the Klaxxi" encounter — a council fight in the Siege of Orgrimmar raid in which a group of ancient mantid heroes of the Klaxxi do battle. In the loot table it is tied to one of the Paragons, Skeer the Bloodseeker.

Key details about the source:

• It is a council fight: up to three Paragons of the Klaxxi are active in the battle at once, and loot drops from the encounter as a whole.
• The item becomes soulbound on pickup, so it cannot be handed off to another character.
• The axe is flagged as scalable and scales with level, which sets it apart from ordinary raid loot.
• The drop chance is low, as with any weapon in a raid boss loot table, so several runs may be needed.
• The raid lockout resets once a week — over a week the encounter can be cleared once on each difficulty per character.

How to reach the fight:

• The entrance to the Siege of Orgrimmar is in Pandaria, in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. The easiest way is to teleport to the raid through the group finder interface or fly there on a mount.
• The Paragons of the Klaxxi are one of the final stages of the raid: you must clear the earlier siege bosses to reach them, or use the in-raid teleports if it has already been cleared this week.

Korven's Crimson Crescent has no known color variations — it is a unique axe model from the Siege of Orgrimmar. The exact same appearance has not been recorded on any other item in the game.

If you need a one-handed axe with a similar silhouette, look at other weapons from this same raid: Siege of Orgrimmar models share a common aggressive style with jagged and crescent-shaped blades and pair well with this axe in spirit.

• Harmonizes with sets in a blood-red and black-steel palette thanks to the crimson blade.
• Fits Rogue and Warrior looks in the Horde style of the Siege of Orgrimmar era.
• Pairs with dark leather and mail armor with red accents, for example the Mists of Pandaria tier sets.
• Contrasts with light "noble" sets — a debatable but expressive choice for a brutal look.
