Regicide — Transmog Set Guide
Overview

Regicide is an epic-quality one-handed dagger added to World of Warcraft in The War Within expansion. It is a drop weapon from the boss loot of the Nerub'ar Palace raid: a slim blade in the overall style of the Azj-Kahet kingdom, with faceted inlays and dark Nerubian trim — the same visual school as the rest of this raid's weapons.
The dagger uses Agility stats — meaning it is a weapon for Rogues, Druids, Demon Hunters and Enhancement Shamans. For transmog it can be worn by any character of a matching class who has unlocked this appearance in the wardrobe.
The dagger's flavor text nods to the assassin's craft: "Nothing personal." This echoes its very source — the weapon drops from a scheming courtier, and its name literally means "the killing of a monarch."
Source
Regicide drops from the boss loot in the Nerub'ar Palace raid — the first raid of The War Within expansion. The specific source is the raid's sixth boss, Nexus-Princess Ki'veza.
Key farming details:
- The dagger drops on all raid difficulties: Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic and Mythic.
- The item level rises with difficulty — for transmog this does not matter, the appearance is identical across all versions.
- This is regular boss loot, not a "very rare" drop, so it has no separate reduced chance — the item is part of Ki'veza's standard loot pool.
- The appearance is credited to the wardrobe when the item is obtained by any character with the matching armor and weapon class.
- Raid Finder difficulty additionally offers a chance at the item through the weekly bonus loot system.
You can reach Nexus-Princess Ki'veza through the standard Dungeon Finder — the raid has long since stopped being current high-level content, so forming a group or clearing it with a small party is easy.
Alternatives
The Regicide dagger has no confirmed color variants under a separate link — this is a specific item from the fight against Nexus-Princess Ki'veza. Look for appearances with a similar silhouette among weapons of the same raid:
- The other one-handed daggers from Nerub'ar Palace are crafted in a single Nerubian aesthetic and pair well together.
- If you want the closest possible thematic set, pick weapons from other bosses of the same raid — they use a shared palette of dark chitin and faceted inlays.
If this particular blade is what matters to you, the easiest approach is to go by the item page of
Regicide itself in the wardrobe and match it with a second dagger from the same raid set.
Who It Suits Visually
- Harmonizes with the Nerubian and spider theme of Azj-Kahet — a natural choice for The War Within sets in a dark-chitin palette.
- Fits assassin and scheming-courtier looks well: the slim blade and the name "Regicide" directly support the concept of a stealth weapon.
- Suitable for dual-wielding two daggers — grab two copies or combine it with another blade from the same raid so the silhouettes match.
- Contrasts with light cloth or paladin armor — a debatable but expressive choice if you need an accent dark blade.
- Appropriate in Rogue and Demon Hunter sets built around The War Within season.
Tips
The dagger is easiest to farm on Raid Finder difficulty: the group assembles automatically, and the boss requires no tactics practice.
The appearance is credited to the wardrobe immediately upon obtaining the item — after that the dagger can be sold or disenchanted, the look itself stays available.
On a single character you can get loot from Nexus-Princess Ki'veza only once per week on each difficulty — for repeat attempts use different characters or other difficulty levels.
The dagger suits Agility classes, so it is more convenient to unlock the appearance on a Rogue, Druid, Demon Hunter or Shaman — other classes will not have the item drop for them.
Alongside farming this dagger it makes sense to also close out other Nerub'ar Palace weapons: in a single raid clear you make progress on several appearances at once.
Defeating Nexus-Princess Ki'veza counts toward the Nexus-Princess Ki'veza Kills (Raid Finder, Nerub'ar Palace) achievement — a handy reference if you track cleared bosses.
For collectors the appearance is valuable because it is a raid weapon: in transmog it emphasizes that the character has cleared The War Within content.
