Overview

Mana-Lined Slab Slicer

Game iconMana-Lined Slab Slicer is a two-handed sword added to World of Warcraft in The War Within expansion. This weapon carries an Intellect stat, which is rare for two-handed swords, so the model is especially prized by collectors of unusual transmog options.

Visually, the blade is built in the "underground stone" aesthetic of The War Within zones: the broad edge looks as if it were carved out of a slab, traced by glowing mana lines. These veins create a soft glow along the edge and make the silhouette both massive and techno-magical at once. Despite its green quality, the sword looks noticeably more expensive than its rank suggests.

Source

The sword drops in Delves — the underground adventures of The War Within expansion.

  • The source is the final opponent of a Delve, a drill boss.
  • The drop chance is extremely low, around 0.11%, so the sword is considered rare cosmetic loot.
  • The item becomes soulbound on pickup, so it cannot be passed to another character.
  • Access to the loot opens up as you progress along the Delver's Journey in Seasons 1, 2, and 3 — meaning you can farm the sword throughout the entire relevant lifespan of Delves.

No separate quest chain is needed for access: it is enough to unlock the Delve system in The War Within and enter the dungeons solo or in a small group, taking each run all the way to the final opponent.

Who It Suits Visually

  • The glowing mana lines fit magical and "techno-arcane" looks — for example, on Death Knights and Warriors leaning into blue lighting.
  • The sword harmonizes with sets in the stone-gray and teal palette from The War Within zones.
  • The broad blade looks great on large races, emphasizing the weapon's bulk.
  • It contrasts with dark leather and plate, standing out as a bright glowing accent for the look.
  • It suits concepts tied to the dungeons and caves of The War Within thanks to its "carved from a slab" model.

Tips

1

Delves in The War Within can be cleared solo, so you can farm the sword on your own without gathering a group.

2

The drop chance of around 0.11% is very low — prepare for many repeated runs and do not count on getting the sword in just a couple of attempts.

3

Run Delves regularly: the more runs you take to the final opponent, the higher your cumulative chance of looting the rare model.

4

Set up farming on several characters to increase the number of attempts per game week.

5

Beyond this sword, Delves drop plenty of other cosmetics and gear, so runs are almost never empty.

6

The appearance can be applied to any modern two-handed sword through transmogrification — the item's stats do not matter for that.

7

Progress along the Delver's Journey: it unlocks additional rewards and does not interfere with farming rare weapon models on the side.
