Manslayer of the Qiraji — Transmog Set Guide

Manslayer of the Qiraji is a two-handed sword of rare (blue) quality dating back to the classic era of World of Warcraft. It is a massive blade of insectoid Qiraji craftsmanship: a wide edge with serrated borders and a chitinous texture, finished in the sandy-gold palette characteristic of all Ahn'Qiraj gear. The silhouette is recognizable and heavy, so the sword looks great in the look of a warrior, death knight, or paladin themed around ancient Silithus.

The item belongs to the loot set of the 20-player raid Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, which opened back in the Classic expansion. By modern standards this is outdated content, and it is farmed today exclusively for transmog: stats and item level no longer matter here at all. The weapon becomes Soulbound on pickup, so it cannot be handed to another character — you will have to obtain it directly with the hero who needs the look.

The sword drops from a single source — the boss General Rajaxx, commander of the Qiraji armies in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj raid.

• The raid is located in Silithus, at the entrance to Ahn'Qiraj next to the great gates.
• Coordinates for approaching the instance: /way Silithus 29 93.
• General Rajaxx is the fourth enemy along the clearing route; his camp is in the open part of the ruins at roughly 58.4, 49.1.
• The drop chance of the sword from this boss is around 10.5%, which is fairly generous for a raid weapon.
• The raid entry lockout is once every three days, so with bad luck you may have to return several weeks in a row.

The fight against the general is a long wave-based skirmish: before Rajaxx himself, several squads of Qiraji infantry charge at you. At max level the raid is cleared solo with ease — you just need to survive the waves and finish off the boss. No additional access requirements, reputation, or quest chains are needed to enter.

The sword itself has no color variants: the model is unique to this item. If you want a similar two-hander in spirit or a Qiraji weapon in the same style, take a look at the following options.

Both items uphold the unified sandy-chitinous aesthetic of Ahn'Qiraj, but Kalimdor's Revenge is a full two-handed sword and therefore the closest relative in silhouette.

• Harmonizes with plate sets in sandy-gold tones — for example, the loot sets from the Ruins and the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj themselves.
• Fits the concept of an "insect hunter" or a veteran of the War of the Shifting Sands thanks to the blade's chitinous texture.
• Stands out in dark, "necrotic" death knight looks, adding a warm sandy accent to them.
• Pairs well with greenish-bronze cloth and leather cloaks that echo the Silithus palette.
