Mana-Lined Slab Slicer — Transmog Set Guide
Overview

Mana-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
Delves in The War Within can be cleared solo, so you can farm the sword on your own without gathering a group.
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.
Run Delves regularly: the more runs you take to the final opponent, the higher your cumulative chance of looting the rare model.
Set up farming on several characters to increase the number of attempts per game week.
Beyond this sword, Delves drop plenty of other cosmetics and gear, so runs are almost never empty.
The appearance can be applied to any modern two-handed sword through transmogrification — the item's stats do not matter for that.
Progress along the Delver's Journey: it unlocks additional rewards and does not interfere with farming rare weapon models on the side.
