Overview

Verdant Tracker's Spike

Game iconVerdant Tracker's Spike is a one-handed dagger from the Midnight expansion. It is a short blade with a rich green gem set at its base and a hilt woven with plant-like motifs: the model clearly echoes the natural, hunting aesthetic of the Amani trolls and the forests of Zul'Aman.

The dagger belongs to the "tracker" leather set — the gear collection from the "Den of Nalorakk" dungeon. Its icon and 3D model are shared with the dungeon, so in your transmog collection it looks like a cohesive part of the "forest" set rather than a random piece.

The item is of rare (blue) quality, item level 237. This is not a unique weapon with its own mechanics, but a standard dagger from the dungeon's leather set, valued above all for its appearance. For classes that wear leather, it works both as a combat weapon at the start of the season and as a transmog blank.

Source

The dagger drops in the Den of Nalorakk dungeon — one of the dungeon locations of the Midnight expansion. The dungeon is located in Zul'Aman, with the entrance set in the zone's southern mountain ridge next to a massive stone bear's head.

Key facts about the source:

  • The dungeon level is 80-90, with Heroic mode tuned for level 90.
  • Access opens upon reaching level 88 or after completing the quest Den of Nalorakk: A Taste of Vengeance in the Zul'Aman story line.
  • The dungeon has three bosses: the Hoarder, Sentinel of Winter and Nalorakk.
  • The dagger is part of the dungeon's leather set, so it can be obtained from loot in Normal, Heroic and Mythic clear modes.
  • There is no attempt limit: the dungeon can be run without restrictions, and the dagger can be farmed as many times as needed.

Since this is a dungeon set item rather than a rare drop from a specific boss, the main way to obtain it is regular runs through the "Den of Nalorakk" until the dagger drops from loot.

Who it suits visually

  • It naturally pairs with the "tracker" leather set from the "Den of Nalorakk": the vest Game iconVerdant Tracker's Vest, the headpiece Game iconVerdant Tracker's Guise and the gloves Game iconVerdant Tracker's Claws come together with it into a single set.
  • It looks great with green and brown leather armor — the dagger supports the "forest" palette of a hunter or tracker.
  • It suits druid and rogue looks in a nature or tribal style, especially with an emphasis on the Amani troll theme.
  • It stands out in contrast when paired with dark or black leather: the blade's green gem becomes a bright splash of color.
  • It is fitting in a dual set of two daggers: you can take the Verdant Tracker's Spike and the Game iconVinebound Shank in both hands.

Tips

1

The dagger is available to any class that wears leather, so it is convenient to run for it on a druid, rogue, demon hunter or monk — the appearance unlocks account-wide.

2

Heroic mode of the "Den of Nalorakk" opens at level 90; if you need the dagger only for transmog, the easiest approach is to farm the dungeon at max level.

3

In a single run, the dungeon's loot also drops other pieces of the "tracker" leather set — the shoulders inv_shoulder_leather_dungeonharronir_c_01Verdant Tracker's Trophy Mantle, the belt inv_belt_leather_dungeonharronir_c_01Verdant Tracker's Buckle and the cloak inv_cape_leather_dungeonharronir_c_01Verdant Tracker's Cover, so it is worthwhile to gather the whole set over one series of runs.

4

There is no attempt limit: if the dagger does not drop, simply re-enter the dungeon and repeat the run.

5

For fast farming, a class with high mobility and good area damage against packs of mobs is a good fit — this shortens the time of a single run.

6

Check loot both from bosses and from the dungeon's additional reward sources: dungeon set items can come from various places within the instance.

7

If you specifically need this blade silhouette, you don't have to chase a particular identifier — the appearance of the "Vinebound Shank" matches, and unlocking it covers the same model.

8

The collected dagger appearance can be applied to any suitable one-handed weapon through the transmogrification system — thanks to the updated Midnight rules, daggers combine more freely with other one-handed weapon types.

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
