random ST drop =/

Comment by mastermage

it is an overall ok dagger but will be replaced in a few lvls the dagger on my server sells for about 40-50g

Comment by Veelox

The drop rates that are shown really surprised me, I've been through ST twice and this dagger has dropped 5 times on the way through. I wonder if Bliz changed the drop percentages

Comment by Windwalker

I just got one of these from a glassweb spider in searing gorge. Another thing Id like to point out is that this is a must have for any Lock is just like the "Evasion" skill Rogues use. So if you draw a little too much aggro and the mob starts attacking you you will sometimes fade and lower your aggoro so your pet can take it back.

Comment by PriestessAv

55 threat reduction for 10 seconds.

Comment by Baalar

Sold for 80g in AH on my server. I love twinks sometimes :P

dude are u serious stealthblade on a lock?
saying it could be useful is like saying 63 spell power to weapon is a good rogue enchant

Comment by Moshpitt

Best dagger skin ever!

Comment by Marrenus

It says STEALTH in it's name, go figure which class was it designed for!

Comment by Qamikace

They won't know what hit them!

Comment by stamm

Assasin's Blade is a more easily obtainable version of the same dagger model. It drops from lockboxes from level 20-ish mobs - Worn Lockboxes if I remember correctly. It seems like a quite decent drop rate, as I had two on one trip through Stormwind Stockades.

This model is one of the most authentic rogue weapons if you ask me, and they will be the first thing I'll transmog when patch 4.3 hits!

Comment by Bhadrakali

Can anyone confirm if this item is still ingame, even after Sunken Temple was redesigned?

Comment by Moonwhelp

For transmog purposes, this would appear to be a perfect off-hand weapon skin for rogues using Hanzo Sword and going for a ninja look.

Comment by sephyre

If you're going for appearance, here is a list of daggers and swords with that Japanese look and their respective handle colors:

Daggers:
Stealthblade Black handle: Very low random drop from Sunken Temple mobs
Assassin's Blade Blue handle, random drop primarily in regular Shadowfang Keep; also drops from pick-pocketed boxes from level 20-ish mobs
Permafrost Dagger Blue handle, random Outland world drop
Sliverblade Brownish handle: Very low random drop from Scarlet Monastery mobs
Dreadblade Brown handle, random world drop from level 40-50 quest zones/dungeons
Talongrip Dagger Brown handle; Horde quest reward from The Queen and Her Court in Stonetalon Mountains
Survivor's Blade Blue handle; Alliance quest reward from Bael'dun Rescue in Southern Barrens

Swords (one handed):
Felsteel Longblade from Plans: Felsteel Longblade -- sits on your back instead of hip
Doomforged Straightedge Black handle: Very low random drop from Blackrock Depths or Overmaster Pyron who guards the entrance
Hanzo Sword Black handle: Very low random world drop from mobs in level 50-60 quest zones and dungeons in Azeroth
Rune Sword Black with patterns; random drop from level 48-53 mobs
Wicked Mithril Blade Black handle, from a blacksmithing pattern: Plans: Wicked Mithril Blade
Assassination Blade Green handle: low random world drop from mobs in level 50-60 quest zones and dungeons in Azeroth
Reforged Blade of Heroes Green handle; Very difficult to get; involves rare drops and such; it's too complicated to summarize quickly.
Ginn-Su Sword Green handle; Low random drop from mobs in Uldaman -- sits on your back instead of hip
Skystrider Katana Brown handle, random drop from Outlands.
Silent Fang Brown handle, ~~drop from Darkmaster Gandling in scholomance~~ EDIT: No longer in game.

Archaic Defender Brown handle; random drop mostly from level 32-38 mobs
Strike of the Hydra Brown and green; 30% drop from Aku'mai in Blackfathom Deeps

Emil's Brand Reddish/pink handle; Alliance quest reward from Insane Druids

Shin Blade Blue handle; random drop mainly from the old vanilla raids

Comment by Dragoniel

This is the only tanto (or maybe ko-wakizashi) with a black handle currently in game, which makes it very unique for rogues going after a ninja look.

I was farming for a few hours on and off, but without luck. Considering current speed of leveling one shouldn't put much faith in ever seeing one on AH as well. I wonder if it still drops at all.

Comment by evertonyuma

just dropped from a atal priest in swamp of sorrows.

Comment by tinyarena

Got one after ~ 1,200 runs in Sunken Temple farming trash elites, it fell off an atal priest, I think.

Also got one for 200g on the AH, go figure.

Anyway, got two in the last three months, the easy way, and the hard way.

Comment by CaesarSux

ive been looking for this dagger for about 2 years now with my rogue and finally when i decide to make an alt monk i was able to try the actual instance with people.. still without any luck.
and then i think, why not just try AH one more time? just to silence that skeptic thought.

and i buy it in ah for 999g

~~i think im done playing wow now~~

Comment by Skullhawk13

Perfect tanking weapon for when the group pisses you off.

Comment by obijimkenobi

I just had mine drop on 09/28/2013 off of one of the dragonkin in the first large room:

Comment by Zlicamix

threat reduction was the cure those days,especially when we are at rogues.
hell,i remember naked rogues owning people in pvp back then by repeating rotation after blind,hilarious!
but in pve? i would recommend your off-hand weapon to be this dagger with a sexy enchant

Comment by Hamasa

Went farming for the Stealthblade today, spent 9 hours in the Sunken Temple and had multiple Epic drops, but no blade. A friend of mine logged on and decided to help me out. Stealthblade dropped on the first group of dragonkin mobs on his first run.

Comment by Scarecrow13

Second run trying to farm this for transmog and Glowing Brightwood Staff drops. I guess that funds my venture when its going for ~2,000g on my server.

Comment by Shisatsu

Does it still drop? Can anyone confirm? :S

*EDIT*
I guess it does because I was able to snatch one off of AH for 6k gold.

Comment by mosstone

Don't listen to the drop locations. The place is called 'The Temple of Atal'Hakkar' if you're using atlasloot.

Comment by Bigmaddin

Got it today after a long time farming. i am damn happy

Comment by shrikearghast

Picked one up after about 30 minutes of farming. I used my hunter to do the dirty work - decent AOE + high mobility seemed like a recipe for success. Obviously, with a .01% drop rate, your mileage is going to vary wildly - in fact, I almost didn't make the last run because I thought I was already up against the reset limit. Thank goodness I did.
