Titansteel Spellblade — Transmog Set Guide

Titansteel Spellblade is an epic one-handed dagger added to World of Warcraft with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion in patch 3.1.0. It is a main-hand weapon from the Titansteel blacksmithing family — a series of items forged from the toughest metal in Northrend.

Visually, the blade keeps to a cold silvery-steel palette: a narrow straight edge with engraving along the flat and a massive guard, typical of Northrend craftsmanship from the late Lich King era. The model relies on the standard silhouette of forged weapons from that period, so it reads well next to plate armor and heavy shoulders.

Originally the item belonged to the right-hand weapon slot, but in the transmogrification system its appearance is also available for off-hand weapons — which broadens where the dagger can be used. In terms of stats the blade is oriented toward classes that use spell power, yet for a collector the numbers matter less than the look itself: once learned, the appearance stays in the transmog collection forever.

Titansteel Spellblade is a crafted item. It is forged by a player with the Blacksmithing profession, without any ties to raids, dungeons, or random loot drops.

• Profession — Blacksmithing, requires skill level 440.
• The recipe Titansteel Spellblade is learned from blacksmithing masters of the "Grand Master" rank in Northrend. The most convenient trainer is Alard Schmied in Dalaran, next to the city forge.
• An anvil is needed for forging — stationary anvils are found in all major Northrend cities, including Dalaran.
• Reagents for one craft: 6x Titansteel Bar, 6x Infinite Dust, and 2x Frozen Orb.
• The finished dagger is bind-on-pickup, so you can collect the appearance only on the character who forged it, or craft a blank for the hero you need.

The main expense is the Titansteel bars: they are obtained by smelting Titanium Ore with the addition of eternal elements, and there is no daily smelting cap in modern versions of the game. Infinite Dust is gathered by disenchanting green gear from Northrend, and frozen orbs were a daily-quest currency of that era and now turn up on the auction house.

• The blade's cold silvery-steel palette echoes Northrend plate gear — the look fits builds in the Wrath of the Lich King style.
• The straight narrow edge pairs well with heavy armor: the dagger doesn't get lost against massive shoulders and plate chestpieces.
• The restrained steel with no flashy effects suits neutral and "knightly" looks, where the weapon shouldn't pull attention.
• The blade harmonizes with the other Titansteel blacksmithing items — for example, with Titansteel Shield Wall for a unified "weapon plus shield" set.
• Since the appearance is also available for the off-hand, the dagger works for paired looks with two identical blades.
