Signe's Sonorous Scramaseax — Transmog Set Guide

Signe's Sonorous Scramaseax is an epic one-handed dagger from the Shadowlands expansion, added to World of Warcraft with patch 9.1. It is an Intellect weapon aimed at specializations that wield daggers and use the Intellect stat: mages, warlocks, priests and shamans.

The dagger model is part of the weapon set from the Sanctum of Domination raid: a dark bone blade with an asymmetric single-edged silhouette, pale blue veins and a pommel in the spirit of the Maw's val'kyr. The name itself references a historical weapon — the scramaseax — a long single-edged knife used by Germanic and Scandinavian tribes, which fits the blade's "raven" look perfectly.

The item is named after Signe — one of the three val'kyr the players fight in the Nine encounter. This makes the dagger a thematic trophy from that specific fight, rather than a nameless drop from the general loot.

Signe's Sonorous Scramaseax drops in the Sanctum of Domination raid — a Shadowlands raid located in the Maw.

• The dagger drops from the Nine encounter — the third boss of the raid, a council of three val'kyr: Signe, Kyra and Skyja.
• The appearance is available on every difficulty of the fight — Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic and Mythic. The model looks the same on any difficulty; only the color tint and item level differ.

Raid Finder

Normal

Heroic

• The boss is killable once a week on each difficulty, so a single run on a character gives you a limited number of drop attempts.
• The dagger is just one of several items in the encounter's loot table, so the chance of getting exactly this one from a single kill is low. Expect several weeks of farming.

The fastest way to complete the appearance is a solo run at max level. The Shadowlands raid has long stopped posing any threat to a leveled character, and the Nine can be killed solo in a couple of minutes. It is best to enter through Raid Finder or Normal mode — that way you get more drop attempts with minimal resistance.

• It looks great with plate and mail sets in dark, bone and blue-purple tones — for example, with the armor sets from the Sanctum of Domination itself.
• It harmonizes with looks themed around the Maw, the val'kyr and the Banshee Queen Sylvanas — the dagger visually completes any "Maw" set.
• It works as a contrast in light priestly sets: the dark blade creates an accent against white and gold cloth — striking, though a debatable choice.
• It fits concepts of a dark shaman-healer or a warlock: the single-edged silhouette reads as a ritual knife rather than an elegant assassin's dagger.
• It pairs with other items from the raid's weapon set if you are assembling a dual set of daggers in a unified style.
