Rethfuras, Scorched Scythe of Cinders — Transmog Set Guide
Overview

Rethfuras, Scorched Scythe of Cinders is a two-handed polearm shaped like a scythe, crafted in a vivid fiery-orange design. The blade resembles a curved tongue of flame, while the haft is adorned with smoldering embers, making the weapon look as though it burns from within. It is a striking model for transmogs themed around fire, summer, and elemental magic.
Source
The scythe cannot be bought with currency directly — it is a rare reward from the seasonal Midsummer Fire Festival event.
Where to look:
- The weapon has a small chance to drop from the
Satchel of Chilled Goods — the reward bag for defeating the event boss. - The event boss is Ahune, summoned in a special version of the The Slave Pens dungeon.
- A guaranteed satchel is awarded for your first kill of Ahune each day, so it is worth visiting the boss daily throughout the event.
Key conditions:
- The Midsummer Fire Festival runs for a limited time in midsummer, usually from June 21 to July 5.
- While the event is inactive, the scythe cannot be obtained — its source only appears during the holiday period.
- The boss is accessible through the Dungeon Finder tool, so there is no need to plan a separate farming route.
Who It Suits Visually
- Perfect for fire and elemental looks — especially for fire casters and sets with flaming effects.
- It harmonizes with armor in warm red-orange tones, where the weapon sets the overall "burning" mood.
- It looks great in summer, festival, and "sunny" transmogs thematically tied to the fire holiday.
- It contrasts with cold blue-and-white armor — a debatable but bold choice for looks built on the contrast of elements.
Tips
Visit Ahune every day during the event: a guaranteed satchel is only awarded for your first kill of the day.
The chance of the scythe dropping from the satchel is low, so plan for several days of farming across the entire holiday period.
The boss is summoned through the Dungeon Finder — this is the fastest way to reach Ahune.
If you want a staff silhouette instead of a scythe, take a look at the paired version from this same source.
At max level in Midnight, Ahune poses no challenge, so the whole run takes only a few minutes.
Do not put off farming until the end of the event: once the holiday closes, the scythe's source becomes unavailable until next year.
