Get Necromedes, the Death Resonator
Overview

Necromedes, the Death Resonator is an epic-quality two-handed bludgeoning weapon shaped like a genuine electric guitar. It is one of the few items in the game that completely breaks the fantasy canon: instead of an axe or a mace, the character carries a massive neck with a body in dark necrotic styling on their back. The item has a use effect that makes the character perform a metal solo right on the spot.
The weapon was added in the Legion expansion, and it remains an iconic transmog among fans of unconventional looks. The appearance is available to all classes that wield two-handed bludgeoning weapons — warriors, paladins, death knights, and druids.
Source
The guitar drops not from a regular dungeon, but as part of a seasonal event — the Darkmoon Faire, which takes place on Darkmoon Island once a month.
- The drop source is the Death Metal Knight, a special enemy that appears during the metal band's concert in a cave on the east of the island.
- The concert starts every hour on the half hour — that is exactly when the Death Metal Knight appears on stage, and a group of players can attack him.
- The guitar's drop chance is around 2 percent, meaning the farm is designed to take many runs.
- You can kill the Death Metal Knight once per character for each occurrence of the Faire, so attempts are limited to once a month per hero.
The fight itself is not difficult for modern levels, but the Death Metal Knight summons waves of banshees that you need to avoid, and applies a Frost magic damage aura — at low levels a healer in the group won't hurt. At max level, a character handles the mechanics with ease.
Who Suits It Visually
- Perfect for joke and themed looks of a rock musician or a metal bard.
- It harmonizes with dark necrotic armor in death knight tones.
- It looks strikingly contrasting in the hands of a paladin or a druid, creating a deliberately absurd image.
- It fits any unconventional builds where what matters is not seriousness, but recognizability and humor.
Tips
Plan your farm around the concert schedule: the Death Metal Knight appears only on the half hour of each hour during the Faire.
Since the kill is available once per character per event, run all your available alts through the fight — this multiplies the number of attempts per month.
The drop chance is low, so count on several Faires in a row rather than a single stroke of luck.
The fight is easier to complete in a group of other players — the Death Metal Knight spawns for everyone who wants to join at the same time.
Active participation in the concert raises your fan status — this is part of the event's mechanics and adds atmosphere to the farm.
Once you learn the guitar, you permanently gain its appearance in your transmogrification collection.
