Get Notorious Aspirant's Greatsword
Overview

Notorious Aspirant's Greatsword is a two-handed sword from the Battle for Azeroth Season 3 PvP gear set. It is a broad, blued-steel blade with gold and jade-green inlays near the base and a distinctive curved Zuldazar-style pommel — the model clearly echoes the aesthetics of the Zandalari trolls, on whose lands the season took place.
The sword belongs to the "aspirant" branch — the basic, unrated variant of seasonal gear. Its silhouette matches the rated gladiator version of the same season, but the aspirant blade is matte, without the glowing enchant overlay. That makes it convenient for transmog: you get the recognizable model of the season without having to grind arena rating.

Originally the item dropped in unrated Battle for Azeroth Season 3 PvP — from battlegrounds, brawls, weekly "Call to Arms" quests, and conquest chests. The season itself ended long ago, so these days the appearance is obtained another way — through a blueprint bundle bought for Marks of Honor.
- The appearance is sold as part of the
Arsenal: Notorious Aspirant's Weapons bundle — a single purchase unlocks all 16 weapons of this branch at once, including the greatsword. - The bundle costs 80
Mark of Honor. - For the Horde, the bundle is sold by Xander Silberman at the Mugambala arena in Zuldazar, at roughly
/way 51.4 58.2. - For the Alliance, the same bundle is available from Marshal Gabriel in Boralus, at roughly
/way 56.2 25.4. - Marks of Honor drop from any form of PvP: battlegrounds, arenas, brawls, and conquest chests in war campaign zones.
- The bundle is bound to the character on acquisition, but the unlocked appearance becomes available account-wide.
Who It Suits Visually
- It harmonizes with armor from the same Battle for Azeroth Season 3 — the plate, mail, leather, and cloth aspirant and gladiator sets in the jade-and-gold palette.
- It suits Zandalari and troll-themed looks thanks to the gold inlays and the shape of the pommel.
- It contrasts strikingly with dark and crimson outfits — the cold steel of the blade works as an accent.
- It pairs well with green and turquoise armor tints, reinforcing the jade hue at the base of the sword.
Tips
If you only want the appearance and not the stats, take the aspirant bundle: it is cheaper in terms of effort, since Marks of Honor trickle in from ordinary unrated PvP.
A single purchase of the bundle unlocks all 16 weapons at once, so there's no need to chase a separate drop for the greatsword — taking the whole arsenal is the better value.
Marks of Honor are convenient to farm through daily and weekly PvP quests: a random battleground yields marks reliably.
The appearance from the bundle unlocks account-wide, so there's no need to buy it again on alts.
If you want the version with the burning enchant illusion, save up for the gladiator arsenal of the same season from the same vendor.
Check whether the appearance is already unlocked: if you played PvP in Battle for Azeroth Season 3, the sword may have dropped for you back then and could already be listed in your transmog collection.
