The Sleeper — Transmog Set Guide

The Sleeper is an epic-quality one-handed dagger worn in the main hand. It is part of the rogue legendary dagger chain Fangs of the Father, added to World of Warcraft in patch 4.3 of the Cataclysm expansion. Visually the dagger nods to Dragon Soul: a dark curved blade with crimson veins and a pommel styled after the models of the Dragon Soul raid.

The Sleeper is paired with The Dreamer — an off-hand dagger sharing the same model. Together they form the Maw of Oblivion set, the second of three tiers of the rogue legendary weapon. The Sleeper is visually identical to the model of The Dreamer, so for transmog the two items are interchangeable by silhouette.

This weapon is interesting first and foremost as transmog: an item level of 49 makes its combat value purely nominal, while the dark draconic aesthetic of the blade remains sought after among collectors.

The Sleeper cannot be bought or farmed directly — it is a reward for a quest within the Fangs of the Father legendary chain. The chain is available only to rogues.

• The specific source quest is Victory in the Depths. It is the second-to-last of the chain's "travel" steps.
• The quest is turned in to Wrathion, known as the Black Prince. He is found at the Old Cliff manor in the Arati Lowland of the Hillsbrad Foothills.
• For completing the quest, the rogue receives both daggers at once: The Sleeper and The Dreamer.
• To reach this step you must complete the chain's earlier quests, including the stage with the first pair of daggers — Fear and Vengeance.
• The chain is tightly tied to the Dragon Soul raid: the quest that follows obtaining The Sleeper, Sharpening Your Fangs, requires gathering 60 clusters of elementium gems from the bosses of that raid.

You can obtain The Sleeper once per character — it is a story item, not a drop with a recurring chance.

• Suits armor sets from the Dragon Soul raid: the dark draconic palette of the blade echoes the tier of the same patch.
• Harmonizes with dark-red and blackened sets — the blade's crimson veins pick up the red accents of the armor.
• Fitting in looks themed around Deathwing and the Twilight's Hammer: the model directly references the finale of the Cataclysm storyline.
• Looks great paired with The Dreamer — two identical blades in both hands give the rogue a symmetrical silhouette.
