This one dropped for me off an rogue vale screecher last night.

Comment by Assan

This is a great dagger for the rogues who want to go either Dagger/Dagger Spec, or Dagger/Sword Spec. Very hard to come across at the level it can be used at (40) but can be bought in most cases out of AH for 50-60 Gold. You can get it cheaper if you buy from trade channel, but very few selling that way. If you HAVE the gold to buy this, then invest more gold into getting a good enchant (I suggest Fiery/Crusader/+15 Agility).

With the proc, chance on hit, and the DPS, you can't really do better for an epic dagger at level 40. A solid investment.

Comment by FroRev

The +15 Agility enchant costs around 100g in materials, which is a lot for a level 40 weapon (that'll be losing its edge by the time you hit 49, if twinking is your thing). Isn't +dmg the best kind of enchantment to use on main-hand daggers anyway? (I know that this is one-handed, but the high max damage implies the person would use it in their main-hand).

This is a great dagger, but check out the Widowmaker if you're looking for something a little cheaper (Gutrippers tend to go for above 90g on Illidan, which can be harsh after buying a mount).

Comment by Mikus

Got mine right at level 32... xD
Was a fantastic dagger at 40, and it still is at 49!
Just the other day I did a eviserate for 1543!
As Assan said, great for Dagger/Dagger Spec, or Dagger/Sword! I put fiery on it, as FroRev said, +15 to Agility is a large investment for a 8-10 level weapon. This may be something you only want to buy once you've saved up your mount, since that strikes to be more important.

With great sinister strike crits, backstabs, ambushes, and eviserates, you will certainly not regret getting this as a Rogue!

Comment by joshka

isee many twink lvl 49 rogues wielding this
great dagger imo
but sells for a little more than 50-60
on my server its like...100-110g

Comment by g0jack

This dropped for me off of Ironjaw Basilisks in Stranglethorn Vale. Nice dagger to have.

Comment by Stormsurge

This is a great dagger to have, and it's not unique so you can have two of them at the same time!

Comment by Hadorne

This looks like a great weapon for twinks level 49 but won't do so well once you hit 52+. Overall, a fun weapon to have but could also provide a profit to you.

Comment by sensory

Got this for my alliance shaman for when she hits 40, along with The Ziggler. Looks awesome, I can't wait.

Comment by Sartok

Got one from ZF just a few days ago.

It sold quickly for 150G on my server... wish I had started higher.

Comment by Monkeypaws

My level 42 rogue is dual wielding this with +3 to damage and a fiery Widowmaker. The ambushes top out at about 950 for now, and a backstab can go 500. This is a great dagger, and the proc rate is decent, and wound will crit up to 170. I paid about 60 for mine, and it has been worth every penny.

Comment by Hai2u

Yep, paid 50g for mine a little while ago and never regretted it once. It cost me half of all the gold I owned at the time but like previous poster said, it was worth every penny.

Comment by wootini

How does the "wound" thing work, is it instant?

Comment by E0m3r

It is without any doubt the best dagger for a subtlety rogue between 45-53 level.I saw this dagger being droped more than 5 times at ZF and i think ZF is the best place to get it.In Lightning's Blade server it costs normally 60-120 gold.Any bigger price is awful, but it really worths it's price.I think that if you have any friends that are willing to boost you to ZF a whole day it will not be any problem to get at least 1 in the whole day

Comment by E0m3r

Yes it's 80-100 damage instant

Comment by Mehros

I put mongoose on this for my 49 rogue twink (47 at the moment, actually but I'm stopping at 49) and it is excellent! Side note- With this, Oppurtunity, Lethality, Imp backstab and Cold blood, I've literally 2-3 shotted some clothies around my level in BG's, them being at full health :D a must have for rogues, and I'd pay 200g+ for it....good thing i got it for 80g and some runecloth lol

Comment by supertao

So, I finally level up high enough for the Noggenfogger quest, and I go start it with killing Dew collectors. I remembered how horirbly the the Drop rate for the the dew gland was, but I went in high hopes and spirits to the thistlegrubs ^.^
1st Mob I Kill dosnt drop a dew gland, but gutripper!
Maybe just luck, but what im trying to say is, make the best of any situation and you may get a nice epic for a side reward, GL and happy hunting!

BTW it seems most mobs in Tanaris Drop this if you havnt picked that up yet

Comment by Tsuken

this dagger came out of a lockbox for me
just a note, it can be dropped by lockboxes, but it's doubtless that the percentage is ridiculously low. :P

Comment by bloodtooth94

hey all guys .. this mayb sound abit crazy but i was just grinding in tanaris and this dropped... then 10 min l8r i go zf and it drops again we are 2 and then we roll and i win lol wtf how lucky could u be... just gotta get something to spend my money on.. ;b

Comment by Merchant

I love DW these

Comment by Braddah

Found while grinding Southsea Priates. Probably killed 500-1000 of them before it dropped...sold for 170g on Moonrunner. Horde. AH!!!

Comment by gliondrel

i got it from sturdy lockbox that i pickpocketed from dark iron dwarf i guess i am a bit lucky =))

Comment by Chavez760

Got mine two nights ago from a Silvermane Howler.. Crazy.. dropped on my last kill for my quest. Great dagger..

Comment by Tigerstripes203

Thrash Blade (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=17705) from a mara quest definitly has the better proc out of all three of these weapons. If you want some cheap but really good weapons for a 49 twink rogue? Go to Mara!!!!

Comment by shadowkil

I want this dagger really bad guess i should go lockpicking lol.
But it's alway 150g+ in korialstarz

Comment by Gamerbr549

Wow how the prices have changed sence the first post going on 2yrs ago. Like Shadowkil stated, 150-200g in AH in the Scarlet Crusade sever. Trying to find this thing real bad for my rogue. Will update when I do to let you know what I think of it., but like most of you will prob. love it. :}

Comment by chrisrocks2much

I was doing ZF with my 42 and this dropped i really needed but leader told all to greed on it i was getting this for my twink hunter but this dam mage ninjad it and got me kick so ya thats reslly messed lol

Comment by Stormwaker

Dropped today in ST off a random troll. I started to have a Nerdgasm over it, and everyone but our tank needed on it. The end Rolls were me with 62 ftw (rogue, blacksting 52, happy mut-spec), 45 shaman with a 2, 45 warrior with a 12 and a lock with a 40.

Got hounded for it by the warrior, but im going to use with the lifeforce dirk when I can, such a sexy dagger!

Comment by Gherod

Awesome dagger for my level 42 rogue, got it as a drop in Zul'Farrak. Much better than my 22 DPS mace, lol. Having a lot of fun with this great weapon.

Comment by Hawk2008

Just scored one in Tanaris. Gonna have my Warlock Wield this one. I know, it's pretty much a waste for a caster. But the warlock isnt my primary character and I prefer dagger over staff or wand. my main character is a hunter and I already have 3 epics for it - all lvl 70 of course. Anyway, at lvl 40, I wouldve loved having this one. excellent for it's lvl.

Comment by Imasilly

I got a Gut Ripper a few days ago as a world drop from a "Razorbeak Skylord" - http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=2659

Just noticed it wasn't on the loot table.

Comment by zantamoray

This is a great rogue main hand dagger. I have a dagger/dagger stealth rogue at lvl 42, I have two Gut Rippers with +15agil enchant on each. I am all but invincible to mobs my level, I can take 3-4 at a time because the DPS is so great.
Happy Hunting. :)

Comment by zantamoray

Also, please note that this usually sells for about 300g+, not 200g. I see it get sold all the time on my server for over 400g, it's insane. (Server Being Anvilmar)
Happy Hunting. :)

Comment by Krabbe

Gut Ripper have also been found on Fungal Ooze in Sunken Temple.. Found it yesterday.
See'ya.

Comment by takethislife

dropped once for me and some friends in Mara, and all agree's to greed.
except the hunter who needs it and equips it
things like that make's you cry

hunters should never EVER need on an item like this

Comment by ScypherZ3

The first comment is extremely wrong! I got this dagger off of a random drop through Zul'Farrak and sold it in literally ten minutes for 350g. Server: Sen'jin

Comment by Lonahar

my rogue(NE 40lvl)is dual wielding those and together they cost 17g on mine server.and it is blizzlike so i dony know but they are just awsome :D

Comment by hondapower

Just picked this up 11/16/08 from a Dark Iron Slaver in Searing Gorge. About 30 minutes after picking up an Icemail Jerkin from the same mobs. Selling for roughly 250g on Azgalor at the current time.

Comment by twinksftw

this weopon isn't much of a hassel to get an enchant on it (as it seemed like in the old days) the main reason for this is the mount at 30 but i have to admit the server i am on barely ever see's them ive got one on my shammy, im just gunna wait and sell it for loads compaired to the 18g servers 0.o

Comment by conos

Would this be anygood for a 40 dual wield shammy.
im going to use the Mallet of Zul'Farrak and this dual wielding which should i put in main hand.

Comment by Hellguardian

it dropped to me in a sturdy junkbox.Nice Dagger,should be weared for a 40-49 twink.

Comment by aneossino

well guys, in my server it is sold at the AH for 150g, so if you pick one up, and got 1k gold, I'd suggest buying another one and adding the Mongoose enchant on both of them...
that would cost a hell lot of money, but it would give you extreme results...!

Comment by SenthaiOverlord

Now if only it was for level 39 instead of 40, it would make many twinks happy :)

Comment by qasaq

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this dagger is used in the epic fight with the 40-man boss Jack the Ripper. Watch out for his backstab.

Comment by a7astor

i found this dagger in a Sturdy Junkbox lucky me :)

Comment by arralina

Dropped , for me, somewhere in zul'farrakk.....i think when ur unlocking the cages to free the prisoners....then theres lots of mobs..one of those mobs dropped it for me, hope this helps :)

Comment by Monday

This dropped for me from a random troll in Zul'Farrak, and in the same instance got both the swords.
It was a good day.

Edit: Don't just pick a random page and downrate please

Comment by TAT0

Dropped for me from a greater rock elemental in badlands. I sold it in the trade channel for 50g :)

Comment by Akimotoz

Comment by justdippee

I bought this dagger in the auction house a couple of minutes ago for 10g! guess i was in the right place at the right time for once! im lvl 40 aswell :D

Comment by lindinash

I'm a 46 pally and I got this from a glasshide gazer in Tanaris. I put it in the auction house for 200g. so if you get this dagger and don't need it you can auction it and get 200g.

Comment by Killgannonazshar

I was in Maraudon lvling my DK's enchanting. And i came accross one of those stone elementals with the train of smaller ones behind it. I was about to just walk away from it. But i hopes that there might be an uncommon item in there to disenchant i took a look.
And just my luck Gut Ripper was in there.lol Right Time,Right Place. :D

Comment by thomas2k7

Mine has just dropped while farming Dark Whelplings, It dropped off a Scorched Whelpling, looks like i am the only one :)

Comment by spookysculpter

Just got this dagger from a Felpaw wolf in Felwood, pretty cool.

Comment by Ryusan

Posts of the past, present and future patches, you will be down-rated for listing the mobs you got this dagger from. It is an epic world drop. Only relevant information, i.e. you thought on how the dagger looks or usefulness in combat. Please keep information on Wowhead.com helpful or entertaining.

Comment by Kefra

Possibly one of the most unappreciated low-level BoE epics, the Gut Ripper has become much more useful post-Cataclysm. Battleground brackets are smaller now, and this weapon is very potent in the hands of a level 40-44 Rogue in PvP. It has 10 more top-end than the level 44 version of the Balanced Heartseeker heirloom, can take Burning Crusade enchantments, and has a good proc (that won't break Gouge, Blind, etc) with a decent proc rate.

With a +20 agility enchant (vs. a +15 agility enchant on the heirloom) you lose only 2 Agility and a bit of hit and crit. 10 top-end is huge, especially considering how much harder that makes your Ambush/Backstab hit.

Level 44 twinks may not exist, but that works to your advantage -- this puppy will probably be cheap, and you'll have a lot of fun with your Rogue until he graduates from the bracket.

Comment by Killerofnubs

I managed to get one to drop, how much will it go for in AH?
