Get Plundered Blade of Northern Kings

Plundered Blade of Northern Kings is a two-handed sword added to World of Warcraft in the Battle for Azeroth expansion. The model is built on a vrykul silhouette: a wide, heavy blade with engraving along the steel, bone inlays near the guard and a massive wrapped hilt, kept in cold gray-steel tones with a bluish sheen.

This is a Strength weapon, so as a transmog the blade suits classes that wield two-handed swords in melee — warriors, paladins and death knights. Its rough Nordic aesthetic fits vrykul, Viking and northern-warrior themed looks well, as well as dark "icy" sets.

The blade is obtained in Battle for Azeroth Island Expeditions. The appearance drops when vrykul enemies appear in the expedition — they are the ones that have a chance to grant this weapon in the reward chest at the end of the run.

• The item is bind-on-equip, so you can buy or sell it on the auction house if you would rather not farm expeditions directly.
• An alternative and more reliable route is the salvage crates, purchased from the Island Expedition vendor for Seafarer's Dubloon currency.
• The vrykul-themed blade primarily drops from the Jorundall Salvage crate — a set from the vrykul island of Jorundall.
• The same appearance can also come from other weekly salvage crates: Molten Cay Salvage and Rotting Mire Salvage.
• Seafarer's Dubloons are farmed in the Island Expeditions themselves: the faster you close out a run, the more currency you have for crates.

The fastest way to collect the appearance is to stockpile dubloons and open salvage crates instead of relying solely on the random drop at the end of an expedition. The set of crates available from the vendor rotates every week, so wait for the rotation that includes vrykul salvage.

• Harmonizes with sets in a cold gray-blue palette — northern-warrior and Viking looks.
• Suits armor with fur, bone and leather — for vrykul and berserker concepts.
• Fits the death knight "icy" theme thanks to the steel shine and bluish sheen of the blade.
• Contrasts with gilded ceremonial plate — a debatable but striking combination of rough Nordic weaponry with parade armor.
• Works as an accent in protector-paladin looks in a dark-steel range that need a massive two-handed blade.
