Timeslicer — Transmog Set Guide

Timeslicer is an epic-quality one-handed dagger added to World of Warcraft alongside The Burning Crusade expansion. It is a short blade with a narrow edge and a thin twisted guard in a cold grey-steel palette with a light bronze inlay along the hilt. The silhouette is restrained, with no spikes or serrations — the weapon looks like a ceremonial dagger of a timekeeper rather than a mercenary's combat knife.

In terms of stats it is an item-level 33 piece for agility-based specializations: rogues, hunters, druids in cat and bear forms, demon hunters and enhancement shamans. In the modern game item-level 33 stats carry no practical value — the blade is collected purely for its appearance.

As a transmog look the dagger is valued for its ties to the time theme: the model is built in the general "bronze-dragon" style and reads well in outfits connected to the Caverns of Time, the bronze flight and the heroes who guard the timeways.

Timeslicer drops from a single boss in a single dungeon. The difficulty is heroic only.

• Dungeon: Old Hillsbrad Foothills, part of the Caverns of Time complex in Tanaris.
• Boss: Epoch Hunter — the dungeon's final foe, a drakonid of the Infinite flight.
• Mode: heroic only. On normal difficulty the dagger does not drop.
• Drop chance: about 5.7% per kill according to Wowhead data.
• Group size: the dungeon is built for five players; in the modern game it is cleared solo.
• Binding: it becomes soulbound on pickup, so the blade cannot be traded or sold — the look must be earned on the character who needs it.

The dungeon entrance is in the Caverns of Time in the Tanaris zone. To reach the right portal, speak with the bronze dragon steward at the entrance and choose the portal to Old Hillsbrad Foothills. The minimum level for heroic mode in the modern game is a formality: The Burning Crusade content dies in a couple of hits at current level.

Story-wise the dungeon is cleared by protecting young Thrall during his escape from Durnholde Keep: you escort the orc through several areas, and in the finale you face the Epoch Hunter, who tries to kill Thrall to alter the course of history. On the way to the final boss you meet two more opponents — Lieutenant Drake and Captain Skarloc — but Timeslicer does not drop from them.

Timeslicer has no known color recolors with separate item IDs — the model was used only for this blade. If you want a similar silhouette or a similar cold palette, it is worth searching among other weapons of The Burning Crusade era.

Fang of the Crystal Spider is the closest match in spirit: the same kind of short early-era blade with compact geometry. Heartrazor and Talon of the Tempest are epic-quality daggers with more expressive blade lines for those who find the basic steel model too plain.

If you want this exact look, you should farm Timeslicer itself: the item has no alternative source for the very same model.

• Suits outfits connected to the bronze flight and the Caverns of Time — the cold grey-steel palette echoes the colors of the time-guardian dragons.
• Pairs well with The Burning Crusade-era rogue leather sets in grey-blue and steel tones, especially the themed sets from the Caverns of Time dungeons.
• Looks great as a matching dagger in both hands on a rogue — two identical models build a coherent, recognizable silhouette.
• Fits concepts of timekeepers and time wardens, where the look is built around a ceremonial rather than a combat weapon.
• Contrasts with bright gold and red armor — a debatable but expressive combination of a cold blade and warm armor tones.
