Get Preyseeker's Kukri

Preyseeker's Kukri is a one-handed dagger of epic quality added to World of Warcraft with the Midnight expansion. It is a short, curved blade styled after a Nepalese kukri: a broad blade with the characteristic "humped" bend, dark metal and a leather wrap on a simple, utilitarian grip. The look is kept in a cold graphite-and-leather palette with no glow or magical effects, and it stylistically echoes the gear of the hunters from the expansion's new seasonal system.

The dagger belongs to the Preyseeker's weapon set — a line that shares a common theme with the matching armor and is designed around the Prey system of the Quel'Thalas region. By stats the item carries Agility and Stamina, and additionally grants Haste and Versatility, so in combat it goes first and foremost to rogues, feral druids, monks and demon hunters. The item has no class restriction: the dagger is fine for transmogrification by any class that can wield daggers. For a transmog collection, of course, only the appearance itself matters.

As a combat weapon the item has item level 276 and the upgrade tier "Hero 6/6" — this means the Preyseeker's Kukri drops from the higher difficulties of Prey. But as a transmog look the dagger is valuable in its own right: it is a restrained, "realistic" knife model with a recognizable kukri silhouette that fits well into stealthy and hunting-themed sets.

The Preyseeker's Kukri is loot from the Prey system, the new seasonal hunting mode of the Midnight expansion. The dagger itself is not tied to a specific boss: it drops from the chest a player receives for defeating a hunt target.

• Access to the system opens in Silvermoon: you need to complete the starting quest Prey: Astalor's Initiative. The starting character is Astalor Bloodsworn, who can be found in Silvermoon near the harbor, at roughly coordinates 55, 60.
• After the system is unlocked, hunt runs are taken from the same Astalor and completed across the zones of the Midnight expansion: the player picks a target, tracks it down and kills it.
• Defeating a hunt target grants a Preyseeker's Adventurer Chest — the main source of gear from the system.
• The gear chest is awarded for the first two hunt completions of that difficulty per week per character. Subsequent runs of the same difficulty give a lighter bag with no slot for weapons and armor.
• The mode has three difficulties: Normal, Hard and Nightmare. The higher the difficulty, the higher the item level of the gear inside the chest. The Preyseeker's Kukri, with item level 276 and the "Hero 6/6" upgrade, corresponds to the higher difficulties of the system.
• You can go on a hunt solo or in a small group; there is no hard attempt limit, only the weekly limit on the "gear slot" in the chest.

Practical farming of the look looks like this: open the Prey system through the quest chain, raise the hunt difficulty to the higher tiers and collect the weekly chests. The chance for this specific dagger in a single chest is low, so expect several weeks of farming on one character or bringing in alts.

The accompanying rewards of the Prey system — pets, mounts and transmog sets — are sold by Construct V'anore in Silvermoon for the Remnant of Anguish currency. Progress along the Preyseeker's Journey track unlocks access to part of these rewards as your rank grows. The Preyseeker's Kukri itself is not sold by the construct: its only path is through the chests from hunts.

The Preyseeker's Kukri has no confirmed color recolors with separate item IDs — it is a standalone look from the Prey weapon set. Variants similar in silhouette and theme should be sought among the other hunter weapons from the same system.

• Preyseeker's Shiv — the second one-handed dagger from the set, epic quality, with the same item level and the same source. Handy paired with the Preyseeker's Kukri if a rogue wants two blades of different silhouette from the same series.
• Preyseeker's Warglaive — a warglaive from the same "Preyseeker's" series with a similar leather-and-metal style; not a dagger, but a visually related option for demon hunters.
• All the listed items drop from the same Prey system and are designed in a unified style, so they combine well with each other when assembling a paired look.

• It suits the cosmetic Preyseeker's hunter armor from the Prey system — for example, the Ensemble: Preyseeker's Sleek Armor set for leather wearers and the Ensemble: Preyseeker's Refined Armor set for cloth wearers.
• It harmonizes with dark leather and mail armor in muted colors — gray-black, brown, graphite; it looks especially good paired with the hunter sets from the same system.
• It fits ranger, mercenary or monster-hunter concepts — the look directly references the artistic style of the Midnight endgame.
• It contrasts with the light gold-and-white blood elf sets — a debatable but expressive combination of a rough knife with "ceremonial" armor.
• It looks good paired with the Preyseeker's Shiv in both hands on rogues — two "hunter" blades assemble a coherent stealthy silhouette, while the models themselves do not repeat each other.
