Overview

Warp Splinter's Thorn

Game iconWarp Splinter's Thorn is an epic one-handed dagger from The Burning Crusade expansion. In appearance it is an elongated, poison-green thorn with an organic hilt that looks carved from living wood: the model resembles a broken branch of the creature that drops it. The silhouette is light and suits the rogue class or the look of a "nature" assassin.

The item exists only in the Heroic version and keeps its "Heroic" aura when viewed in the bag. That makes it a recognizable dagger of the Outland era and a great addition to sets built around nature and Fel themes.

Source

The dagger drops only in the Heroic version of the The Botanica dungeon — part of the The Eye complex in the Netherstorm zone. The dungeon belongs to The Burning Crusade expansion and in the modern game is cleared solo on a max-level character.

  • Drop source: Warp Splinter — the final boss of the dungeon.
  • Difficulty: Heroic only.
  • Drop chance: about 10.2% according to Wowhead data.
  • Binding: becomes soulbound on pickup.
  • Minimum level to equip: 30.
  • Attempt limit: one Heroic Botanica run per day per character.

You can enter the dungeon through the Dungeon Finder by choosing "Outland Dungeons" and setting Heroic difficulty. An alternative route is to travel to Netherstorm and enter the doorway manually: the dungeon sits in the southern part of the floating island of the The Eye complex.

Who It Suits Visually

  • Fits sets in a green-woodland palette — for example the classic druid and hunter sets from The Burning Crusade era.
  • Looks great paired with a second nature or plant-themed weapon — two "thorns" create a complete image of a wild assassin.
  • Suits concepts tied to the Fel and corrupted nature: the poison-green tint of the blade echoes the theme of warped Outland.
  • Contrasts with heavy metal armor — on a plate wearer this dagger looks debatable, while on leather and cloth it plays better.
  • Fitting for a character tied to the lore of Warp Splinter and the elven botanists of Outland.

Tips

1

Heroic Botanica sits inside the The Eye complex in Netherstorm — take a gryphon or a flying mount to reach the entrance faster.

2

The drop chance is about 10% — plan on a dozen runs per character to score the dagger.

3

In the modern game the dungeon is soloed in a few minutes on any max-level class — no special preparation is needed.

4

The Heroic difficulty limit is one run per day per character, so it makes sense to farm in parallel on several alts.

5

Warp Splinter also drops other epic loot from The Burning Crusade era — a single run lets you check several targets at once.

6

If you only care about the appearance, check the transmog collection after every kill: one dropped copy is enough to unlock the look forever.

7

When farming on several characters, keep in mind that the item binds to the receiver — you cannot mail it to your main character.

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.
