Moonsteel Broadsword — Transmog Set Guide

Moonsteel Broadsword is a two-handed sword of uncommon quality that has existed in the game since classic World of Warcraft. It is a wide blade with a straight crossguard and a restrained silvery-steel sheen — no glow, no runes, no ornate details. That very plainness makes it a handy foundation for looks in the spirit of the knights, mercenaries, and soldiers of early Azeroth.

The sword is crafted by blacksmiths and belongs to low-level gear, so its silhouette is familiar to everyone who has played through the starting zones. It suits all classes that can wield two-handed swords.

The Moonsteel Broadsword is a product of the Blacksmithing profession. To craft it, you first need to learn the recipe and then gather a set of reagents.

• The plan Plans: Moonsteel Broadsword is sold by the vendor Zarena Cromwind in Booty Bay, in The Cape of Stranglethorn. She deals specifically in blacksmithing plans, so she is easy to find among the bay's other merchants.
• Learning the recipe requires a Blacksmithing skill of at least 180.
• The main reagents are several Steel Bars and Strong Flux, plus a small set of supporting materials: a sharpening stone, heavy leather, and worked stone. The exact quantities are shown by the recipe window itself when crafting.

If you don't have the Blacksmithing profession yourself, the easiest option is to buy the finished sword at the auction house or ask a blacksmith you know to craft it, handing over your own reagents.

• It harmonizes with heavy plate and mail armor in neutral steel tones — the look of a simple but dependable warrior.
• It fits sets in the style of the guards and city watch of the Eastern Kingdoms thanks to its restrained palette.
• It contrasts with bright magical or glowing armor — against it, the sword looks emphatically "grounded" and realistic.
• It works well paired with an alternative shield in roleplay looks where the simplicity of the gear, rather than flashiness, is what matters.
