Mithrios, Bronzebeard's Legacy — Transmog Set Guide
Overview

Mithrios, Bronzebeard's Legacy is a one-handed mace with a massive head in a silvery-steel palette and restrained dwarven ornamentation. The look is austere and noble, without any excess glow, so it works well in builds for protection paladins, banner-bearing warriors, and any hero who needs a understated yet prestigious one-handed weapon.
In terms of lore, the mace is tied to the Bronzebeard line — one of the most renowned dwarven families of Azeroth. This adds extra value for themed sets centered on dwarves, Ironforge, and a heritage of smithing.
The weapon belongs to the Wrath of the Lich King era and drops in Icecrown Citadel. Its stats have long been obsolete, but as a transmog it remains in demand thanks to its clean metallic model and its connection to the expansion's final boss.

Mithrios, Bronzebeard's Legacy drops from the Lich King — the final boss of the Icecrown Citadel raid. The raid itself is located in Icecrown Citadel, in the northern zone of Icecrown on the continent of Northrend.
- The appearance drops from the Lich King in the 25-player version of the raid. The chance to obtain the item is around 2.03%, so prepare in advance for repeat runs.
- To reach the Lich King, you need to clear the entire raid up to the upper platform — the Frozen Throne. The skip to the final boss only opens after fully clearing the raid with the active shortcut quest.
- At the current maximum level, the raid can be soloed without any trouble: none of the Icecrown Citadel bosses have mechanics that block solo clears.
- Loot from the Lich King drops once per week per character as part of the standard raid lockout, so on a single run you get one attempt at the item you need.

Alternatives
This mace has no separate recolor palette of its own, but the Lich King also drops another one-handed weapon in the same noble style of the kings of Lordaeron:
| Appearance | Source | Wowhead |
|---|---|---|
| Havoc's Call, Blade of Lordaeron Kings | Lich King, Icecrown Citadel |
If you need a matching item for your off hand or an option for a class that uses axes, take a look at this appearance from the same source — it blends harmoniously with the mace in color and theme.
Who It Suits Visually
- Ideal for dwarven looks and sets tied to Ironforge and the Bronzebeard line, thanks to the silvery metal and restrained ornamentation.
- Pairs well with plate sets in white-steel and silver tones without aggressive glow.
- Suits paladins and warriors who need a noble one-handed weapon for ceremonial and heraldic looks.
- Stands out against the dark, blood-soaked sets of Icecrown Citadel: the bright mace sets off the grim armor of the Scourge.
Tips
Enter Icecrown Citadel on the 25-player version — that's where this appearance drops; on 10-player the item does not drop.
Since the drop chance is low, it makes sense to farm the raid every week and not count on luck on your first run.
At max level the raid can be soloed, so no separate group is required to farm the appearance.
Don't forget that loot from the Lich King is limited by the weekly lockout per character, so bring alts along to speed up the farm.
The mace is bound on pickup and cannot be transferred to another character — collect the appearance on the hero who needs it.
A single run on the Lich King can drop several valuable weapon appearances, so repeat runs are useful for transmog collectors.

Got into World of Warcraft back in Legion, when everyone was obsessing over their artifacts. I've tried almost everything but still haven't settled on a main — I play whoever didn't get nerfed this week. I love the lore and digging up the quest details that everyone else just skips past.
