Stormfury, Black Blade of the Betrayer — Transmog Set Guide

Stormfury, Black Blade of the Betrayer is an epic-quality one-handed dagger from the Wrath of the Lich King era that made its way onto the refreshed Icecrown Citadel loot table. The model uses the "Illidan" silhouette with a coal-black blade and dark purple streaks along the edge — a direct visual nod to Illidan Stormrage, the Betrayer, and his Warglaives of Azzinoth.

Stormfury drops from the final boss of the Icecrown Citadel raid — The Lich King. It is a spec-loot reward tied to the rogue specialization: the item can only drop when you have the matching role selected in the personal loot window.

• Location — Icecrown Citadel, upper tier, the Lich King's throne room.
• Difficulty — any on which the Lich King is available: 10-player normal and heroic, 25-player normal and heroic. The drop chance is roughly the same, about 1%.
• Binding — becomes Bind on Pickup (BoP) when obtained. It cannot be passed to another character.
• Attempt limit — one run on the boss per week on each difficulty.
• Group — the raid is cleared solo at level 90 without any trouble, including the Lich King.

Farming order:

• Fly into Icecrown and take the portal into the raid from the teleporter mage in Dalaran or from the relevant NPC in the zone.
• Clear the raid up to the Lich King — at level 90 this takes 15–20 minutes without skips.
• On each character, beat the Lich King on all four difficulties per week — that is four independent rolls on the drop.
• If you want to speed up the farm, set up rogue alts: every new "head" is a separate chance.

Worth knowing as well:

• The weekly drop of the "right" item depends heavily on luck; the guide is often closed only after dozens of runs.
• The mount Invincible's Reins and the tier set drop from this same boss, so the farm pays off even without luck on the dagger itself.
• For the rogue spec, it is best to have the correct loot specialization in your loot settings, otherwise the item will not enter the rolls at all.

• Rogues in the "Illidan" concept: dark skin, purple accents, an open face or a blindfold — the dagger works as the meaning-bearing centerpiece of the look.
• For sets with demonic and "corrupted" textures: Black Temple tiers, Broken Isles rewards and any "fel-like" color schemes.
• Paired with another dark blade — for example, with models from the Black Temple — you assemble a symmetrical set of two "betrayer" daggers.
• A contrasting option: against the white and silver armor of the Legion rogue order — then the black blade becomes the only dark spot in the look.
• It does not suit bright seasonal sets with saturated green and gold tones — the dagger gets lost in them and looks "dirty."
