Comment by Carighan

Would anyone happen to know where this is obtained? If this is the first of the craftable thingies for casters from Swordsmithing, I need to respec I think :O

This is statless, but the proc sure is hot...

Comment by t93jan

The spell haste rating of 280 on this weapon means that at level 70 you cast spells about 18% faster for the duration.

Comment by maxi

Explanation of rating systems here:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Combat_Rating_System

Spell haste gives 1% faster spellcasting per 15.6 points on lvl70.

And yeah the proc is almost exactly 18% faster cast. This is dps boost, comparable to priest's Power Infusion (20%).

Save AP for when this baby procs and you won't regret it :D

Comment by Knightwing4

15% proc rate.

Comment by korn

Yeah, it feels like about 15%. Found one on the elementals in Nagrand above throne of elements.

Its pretty nice, but more importantly it make my mage look sexahhh.

Comment by organic

One dropped for me underneath Manaforge Ultris in the access shaft while I was doing the corpse-burning quest. Procs just about every fight, and couples with my build rather nicely as it suffers from pretty slow shadowbolts.

Comment by Ambition

Sure - death means nothing until you keep wiping raids because of overaggro and get removed from your guild.

However, this weapon won't make it all that difficult to control threat.

Comment by xxxath

Just dropped off a non elite level 71 mob... gonna buy my epic flyer with it.

Comment by SSdraken

With the new patch, the spell haste has been increased by 50%, to roughly 30% faster casting now.

Comment by Malignor

Does anyone know if there is a warrior sword with the same graphics?

Comment by bloodreddoritos

Best lightsaber ever.

Comment by ChillingOut

A guildie of mine got this in Shadow Labyrinth a few days ago and offered it to me (i'm a Mage), i told him no i'm alright, but now with the Patch notes declaring they've upped the +haste%, i'm thinking i made a bad decision :)

Comment by Zephyr

Wow... it's almost like a mind quickening gem on a sword. This is one crazy piece of equipment.

Comment by gargam

misposted.

Comment by gargam

can anyone confirm whether this also procs on the cast of Dot-Spells. I know it does not (and should not) proc of the ticks, but does it proc on the cast?

Comment by chromatic

Just got it from a Crashing Wave-Spirit while farming Mote of Water... got it day after i got my BE warlock to 70. Damn, still have the happy joy feeling ^^

Comment by ragnarok775

just bought it for 1800g, procs alot, makes my frostbolts 1.96 second casts (or somthing of the sort). To lazy to do the math but at that rate, i beleive it is better than having the gladiators spellsword.

Comment by Sikul

Can anyone confirm the proc rate as being 15%?

Comment by Stalth

Is this just a general world drop off of ANY level 70 mob? because I'm sick of farming elementals in nagrand and shadowmoon valley.

Comment by Sikul

Picked one of these up. I don't think it's as high as some have said. It's definately not a 15% proc rate unless I've been very unlucky. It's more likely between 5 and 10%. Still pretty good.

Comment by Tricksy

It does have a 15% procrate however it can proc no more often than every 30 seconds.

I tested it manually by casting a few thousand Polymorph Rank 1 with an addon timing and counting everything.

This leads to an actual procrate significantly lower than 15%, the faster your spell of choise the lower the procrate. Since you will be casting more spells during the 30 seconds where it cannot proc.

Comment by Furox

Got it in Kara last night!!
amazing in my opinion!
Procs all the time!
i can spam frostbolt and with this proc it makes my frostbolt a 1.5 sec cast, and i can get about 3-4 of them off before i lose the proc.

Comment by JoeyAuchindoun

Got it today off AH on the new server Auchindoun, paid alot more than 1000 gold for it, but it was worth it imo.

Proc is godly, getting Quagmire's trinket next.

Comment by sorcen

Visible spell effect around the caster upon proc is a faint blue ring of short blue light waves that emanate out from the caster in almost a perfect circle. (see screenshot)

The buff icon upon proc looks like a mini-screenshot of the actual glowing sword, and NOT like the item icon in your bag. (see screenshot)

The sword also casts a faint yellow glow underneath you at all times, whether sheathed or drawn. This yellow glow is also noticable during low flight, our while mounted, and while swimming over objects. It is not visible if there isn't an object below you.

Of note, this sword is VERY bright, and may draw unwarranted attention to you in PVP, which is bad. But it also may draw unwarranted attention to you while walking around anywhere else, causing oohs and aahs, which is nice.

Comment by Supernewb

I just got this tonight, and its simply amazing. Procs so much. <3 mages.

Comment by imagonnawin

I'm on a PVP server. If anyone has found this sword, I will pay whatever you ask, in gold or money, and transfer it to my server. I had a chance to buy this once, but it fell through. It's the only epic weapon I want in the game. Ascensionwow@gmail.com

Comment by williambob

Yeah if someone wants to sell this off, I would pay gold, cash whatever it takes.

williambobthorton@yahoo.com

Comment by Trynkooooo

if you have MQG,QE,BoW,Berserk (trolls only) and a shammy to cast on you samo Bloodlust your cast will be just about 0,5-0,6sec (for frostbolt) ....

Comment by williambob

US PvP server, Alliance btw

Comment by yannster

It dropped for me off a level 68 Warp-Gate Engineer in Netherstorm two weeks ago... and I'm a mage. O_o

Basically one extra frostbolt each time it procs (~15%).

Slapped a +40 Spellpower enchant on it and add some Superior Wizard Oil (+42 spell dmg) and I'm golden. Great dps combo with The Saga of Terokk in off-hand (+28 spell dmg).

/Dilwen on Lothar

Comment by Hodge

This thing is amazing. I got mine for 2250g, but it was worth every bit. It procs a lot, and it stacks with my meta gem (the one with 5% chance to proc 50% faster cast time).

I don't have QE yet, but I hope to get it soon. Man, if I knew spell haste items like this would be in the game, I would've made a troll mage lol.

It can proc off ANY spell. I've had it proc when I conjure food/water, when I buff people, and even when I open portals.

Another combo I love now is when a shaman uses bloodlust on a boss. The increased spell casting speed from bloodlust plus my meta gem and this sword makes my fireballs cast so fast, it seems like I'm casting scorch.

Comment by Xeephran

did anyone do a comparison of which sword is better:

blade of wizardry vs. blade of the archmage and
blade of wizardry vs. Nathrezim Mindblade ?

i have the blade of the archmage, and it shouldnt be too long until i have access to the mindblade. question is of course, if its still worthwhile to spend 3k gold on the blade of wizardry.

Comment by karokajoka

Dropped for us tonight off Aran. He was wielding it when we faced him. I would assume if you see a mob running around with this sword, do whatever you can to drop him. It's not on Aran's standard loot table, anyway, so maybe that's a clue as to whether it'll drop or not.

Comment by jrpheonix

I currently have the spellstrike set and the shiffars nexus horn . both have procs for spell increase , if i get this blade of wizardry and quagmirrans eye both that have a chance to increase speed, i would proc every pull , i would consider me the most powerful mage to walk into. (I AM ARC POWER 41/20 ARC FIRE MAGE ) FEAR ME!!

Comment by TarthWarlock

i got my blade off of trash in kara right before the maiden of virtue

Comment by Ekke2

Buying this on Magtheridon-Eu, character name Ekke, paying 3-4k gold for it.

Comment by Sharapova

Bought this on Shadowsong horde side for 2500g.

Being a destruction warlock and as far as I can tell, this is not the best spell dmg weapon but surely, the proc makes it worth all that I've paid for it. Especially in long boss fights it boosts your DPS to hell.

Comment by Dycius

Had this drop off of a random mob in the Black Morass last night. Other than the lack of stats, I love this blade!

Comment by hoodstar

Anyone have an idea of how much spell haste rating would equal one point of spell damage in patch 2.1?

c'mon you math wiz kids..i know you're out there :)

Comment by Rentur

i sold this item for 2,4k on the venture co! dropped by a mob in netherstorm.

Comment by JoeyAuchindoun

Spell haste since the last patch on these items have been roughly halved in effectiveness, also known as you just got crapped on. GG.

Comment by Jester

Got it from Ramps Heroic at 1st mob!
Great feeling when i see that on my screen ^^

Comment by FlipperGandalf

Whoa Affliction Warlocks :0)
Spam all your instant dots and then drain life whohou^^
Very good sword!

Comment by aquanda

Is there any reason why I can't disenchant this sword? I got an upgrade and went to DE this and it's saying "Cannot be Disenchanted". Very dumb.

Comment by Mitaku

Unfortunately this is not a vendor bought item...it is a world BoE drop which, usually, can always be disenchanted. I have this myself (got it via a drop) and can verify that it can not be disenchanted. Also another item I have found as well is the Terokk's Wisdom http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32541#00Rz (dropped cloak from the Skettis quests where you summon Terrok). This item can also not be disenchanted

Comment by cookieman

dropped for me in khara today was thinking about selling but thought what the heck and kept it im a mage :)

Comment by mushroom

does the spell haste also work with healing spells ?

Comment by OrangeSummer

Just dropped for me off a birdman in the Skettis area during the escort quest. My first BC epic world drop! :D

Comment by Missaar

With the new patch coming this item will be more valuable then it is now, old spell haste rating gained was 13.33% and with the new patch it will be 17.77% which is quite a nice boost :)

Comment by Grimdeath

Just bought this out on Skullcrusher server for 900g, a bargain.

I'm considering either reselling it for a profit, or sending this to my level 70 affliction warlock. Almost Kara attuned, but I dunno how much raiding I'll be doing with him. If I'm not raiding, I'm usually just dotting up people, and as such, I won't be getting much use out of the spell haste proc...

Decisions, decisions.

Comment by barfield

I just bought one for 950 gold, prices are dropping fast (thats only 5 days of dailys..)

Comment by jedik

I just found this 1H sword off of a Netherwing Ray in Shadowmoon valley on Netherwing Ledge. I wouldn't recommend farming the rays for the sword, I've been doing dailies there for awhile and the drop rate is extremely low.

Comment by Sapphidia

I wonder how good this is for Arcane Missiles?

AM spam seems to be gaining in power these days, what with the MSD meta, lightning capacitor etc. Can anyone with this blade confirm whether the proc from the sword procs on the -CAST- of a spell or on each possible tick of arcane missiles?

If it procs on the cast, then I'm assuming it would be the -next- arcane missile that was fully hasted, but the proc rate would be fairly low as AM only gets one chance each 5 seconds. If it procs on the possible tick, then with 5 chances to proc it each burst of AM, I can see this proccing each time the global cooldown is up.

Any mages with this blade able to confirm whether it's AM Cast or AM Tick?

Comment by lukel

I tested it with Quagmirran's by ProcMeter Eye last night.
I found that only Blade of Wizardry 6% proc and Quagmirran's Eye 3~4% proc rate. Not 15%, did they have been nerfed?

Comment by lukel

I tested it and Quagmirran's Eye by ProcMeter last night.

Comment by rascal9

I am seeing some outrageous prices i bought mine for cool 750g and threw a 40 spl power enchant on it. Guess it depends on server might try to resell for more money :)

Comment by ozzwaldo

got mine for 950g procs alot and seems to go off of dots also.

Comment by evilhead

This vs Bloodmaw Magus-Blade?? I have both, with Sapphiron's Wing-Bone (frost mage natch), both have Soulfrost on em. Which one?

Comment by Ro0ni

I got this one from Skettis Wing Guard (Jan. 20th) at the very end of the escorting quest.

Probably other Skettis mobs drop this also, not confirmed though.

Comment by DuhAlex

whats a good price to sell this sword for...no one on my server would dare pay 1700g

Comment by felbereth

Is this thing still worth >1500g? What about post 2.4 with haste affecting the global cooldown?

Comment by justinc

Just got one off a Rocknail Ripper in Shadowmoon valley level 69 common mob. According to Wowhead.... it's never dropped off one before. (h)?

Deathwing, EU

Comment by targos

Found this on a naga in Quel'danas. I saw 280 spell haste and thought it was a gold mine, but it only sells for about 650 on Cho'gall.

Either way, I still shat a brick when it dropped.

Comment by Airdrawn

Bought this for 800g!! on Stormreaver EU, on my lock.

It's amazing, its roughly 1 extra shadowbolt when procs.

Comment by Ionovarcis

i want it *sniff sniff* but its like 1.8k on Arathor, and im sorta working on my epic flyer........

Comment by Roxton

I bought mine off a friend for 50g, so I love it to bits. The buff you get when this procs is called "Forgotten Knowledge".

Comment by necroclysm

If you do the math on it, for a destruction warlock in BT-level gear(I only tested with my numbers, of course it has less effect if you have less +damage, and more effect with more +damage) it comes out to around 2700-5400(non-crit damage to crit damage range, top end range for me is about 3500-7000 in a raid, but thats with an elemental shaman in my group, shadow priest in raid, and ISB up) damage increase over a 2 minute period on average, from just the proc, in a raid setting. Shadow priest, etc.

In order to outdo the proc with a new weapon choice, it needs to have at least 60-70 +damage more than the Blade of Wizardry.
However, with the proper amount of passive spell haste, it is possible to cast 4 shadow bolts while the proc is still up, instead of 3, which actually boosts the damage increase from this significantly, but only for fights that last around 4 minutes or longer(which in raids is a lot of them).

Currently, the first 2 "upgrades" in this case would be the Zhar'doom, Greatstaff of the Devourer, and the Tempest of Chaos, off of Illidan and Archimonde respectively.

After checking the math on the dagger that drops from Naj'entus, the Blade of Wizardry is still slightly better for me. Keep in mind, I have enough passive haste to cast 4 shadow bolts at the Blade's proc speed instead of 3. If you dont have enough passive haste to do this, the Naj'entus weapon, The Maelstrom's Fury, is better.

Obviously, you dont have to follow my advice, but if you are a destruction warlock(0/21/40) and are raiding, but dont have the BT/Hyjal weapons, I would pick this up. I am still using it, since the Tempest hasnt dropped for us ;)

Yeah, I agree - this item is expensive - but so worth it!

i wonder what happends when u stack this with missle barrage or icy veins lol

Comment by Phazz

This weapon will NOT absorb any more enchantment glow effects.

I tried to put Potency on it for an extra-badass look. :( :(

Comment by Justdiespawn

People, please don't downrate comments like this, they let others know if they should waste a cool-looking enchant just for the looks, whether it is worth the money or not.
Apparently in this case, it isn't.

Comment by ninjalord

A lightsaber.. the traditional weapon of a jedi -_-

Comment by Malinq

I'm trying to get one on my server but sadly seems it's never dropping now for levelers

Comment by wessmasta

Oh my god it has a sword under the glowiness! I never knew that.

Comment by YodaddyEU

The Excutioner enchant animation does not seem to work on this item. Teebu's Blazing Longsword however, which shares the same model, does show the correct enchant animation.

Still looks like a damn lightsaber...........

Comment by randomperson1324

OMG ITS A LIGH SABR

Comment by VegaSec

I have tested this with Black Magic enchant for total of 24 hours over a span of a week and there seems to be a 15sec internal cooldown but not shared cooldowns. I've had both proc one after the other, proc at the same time, or even, in rare instances, not proc at all for 30sec. I cant wait to get Quagmirran's Eye cause it will decrease those 30sec of no procs ;) While soloing mobs 1 out of 2 seems to proc during a fight and with Quagmirran's Eye that ups the chance for a proc to 1 out of 3. During boss fights, as an arcanist (61/0/0), you'll be able to see all three proc at the same time for good times 8D

As a mage no need to focus on spell haste anymore just spell power and crit. With Blade of Wizardry, Black Magic enchant, and Quagmirran's Eye its like having 150~200 passive haste rating. But maybe I'm just lucky :)

FYI: Blade of Wizardry, Black Magic, and Quagmirran's Eye proc of none damaging offensive spells aswell: Polymorph, Spellsteal, Counterspell ;)

Comment by Benegesserit

Blizzard has stealth nerfed the display of this weapon. It's now a small line of fire coming from the hilt.

Comment by ElliotHunts

My Mission: To assemble the Perfect Jedi outfit.
Just after having acquired my Argent Avenger and looking happily at my completed Jedi Set - Lo and behold - I see someone in Dalaran with a Sith blade like the red twin of my new sword. After a quick browse around wowhead I found this page and immediately went off to the AH where I saw one going for 999g. It was an utter no-brainer and I snatched it up rightaway. I'm now even more happier with my new dual wielded lightsabers - will make for fun times pulling out my Jedi set while waiting for raid to start :).

For those wanting to make a Jedi set as well here's the item list:
Enchanter's Cowl
Durable Robe
Twill Boots

Jedi Lightsabers:
Argent Avenger or Spellfire Longsword (Argent Avenger is far easier to obtain imo)

Sith Lightsabers:
Blade of Wizardry or Teebu's Blazing Longsword
Both are world epic drops but I believe the Blade of Wizardry is easier to obtain than Teebu's.

Comment by Neogoose

This has one of the highest vendor prices in the game. Amazing!

Comment by spottedtauren

Items that can be used to increase haste:

Hand of Edward the Odd (and/or Blade of Wizardry) + Enchant Weapon - Black Magic + Scroll of Enchant Gloves - Minor Haste for a total of 580 haste (61.55% @ L57). If you have Lifeblood rank 7 (requires level 55) from Herbalism an additional 240 haste can be added (240 + 580) for 820 haste (87.02% @ L57).

Once level 60 is reached Haste Potion can be used for an additional 400 haste, for a total of (400 + 820) 1220 haste (122.00% @ L60).
Once level 70 is reached Blade of Wizardry can be used for an additional 280 haste.

Note, the multiplier for haste at level 57 is 10.6125 and at level 60 it is 10.00.
The haste multiplier for level 57 was found using the given "Chance on hit: Increases Haste Rating by 320 (33.96% @ L57)" from Hand of Edward the Odd.
The haste multiplier for level 60 was found using the given "Increases haste rating by 400 (40.00% @ L60)" from Haste Potion.
For more details see the "calculations" section below.

The proc from ....... Hand of Edward the Odd ........................... by itself is 320 ..... (33.96% @ L57).
The proc from ....... Enchant Weapon - Black Magic ................ by itself is 250 ..... (26.53% @ L57).
The effect from ..... Scroll of Enchant Gloves - Minor Haste ..... by itself is 10 ....... (1.6125% @ L57).
The effect from ..... Lifeblood rank 7 .......................................... by itself is 240 ..... (25.47% @ L57)
So if both the weapon and the enchant proc occur at the same time
(plus gloves enchant which is always present), and Lifeblood rank 7 is clicked, then the total = 820 haste (87.02% @ L57)

The proc from ....... Hand of Edward the Odd ........................... by itself is 320 ..... (32.00% @ L60).
The proc from ....... Enchant Weapon - Black Magic ................. by itself is 250 ..... (25.00% @ L60).
The effect from ..... Scroll of Enchant Gloves - Minor Haste ..... by itself is 10 ....... (1.00% @ L60).
The effect from ..... Lifeblood rank 7 .......................................... by itself is 240 ..... (24.00% @ L60)
The effect from ..... Haste Potion ............................................... by itself is 400 ..... (40.00% @ L60).
So if both the weapon and the enchant proc occur at the same time
(plus gloves enchant which is always present), Lifeblood rank 7 is clicked,
and you drink the haste potion at the same time then total = 1220 haste (122.00% @ L60)

List of haste weapons, enchants, potions, racial and class attributes (there might be more):
1. Hand of Edward the Odd
2. Blade of Wizardry
3. Enchant Weapon - Black Magic
4. Scroll of Enchant Gloves - Minor Haste
5. Enchant Gloves - Haste
6. Enchant Boots - Haste
7. Lifeblood (from Herbalism)

List of some items or attributes that (although not haste in name) increase spell casting or attack speed:
1. Shaman Bloodlust
2. Shaman Heroism
3. Troll Berserking
4. Rogue Slice and Dice
5. Hunter Rapid Fire

___ The values for healing in this table are not verified for patch 4.0+___
Lifeblood (from Herbalism):
Rank ..... Haste .......... Healing ..... Skill Level ..... Character Level
6 ............ 120 ............ 1200 ............ 375 ..................... 40
7 ............ 240 ............ 3600 ............ 450 ..................... 55
8 ............ 480 ............. ? .................. ? ........................ 65
___
Calculations:
How to find out by what percent 570 will increase haste by @ level 57.
a. Given: Increases Haste Rating by 320 (33.96% @ L57)
33.96% * 100 = 3396
3396 / 320 = 10.6125

Now use haste multiplier "10.6125" to calculate haste % @ L57.
320 haste * 10.6125 = 3396
Now convert back to a percent (3396/100) = 33.96%

Note: the haste multiplier at level 57 is 10.6125;
used the same method above and the given "Increases haste rating by 400 (40.00% @ L60)" to find out
haste multiplier at level 60 is 10.00.

Comment by Coozeman13231

Just got this in heroic auchenai crypt, as im grinding for some items that matches with others, and i saw it sells for 43g and 29s and 49c, and i got a lvl 81 weapon that sells for 27g 99s and 62c, then i checked for Malevolence that sells for 43g 10s and 13c, and it makes me think, is this world BoE from Burning Crusade, more worth than a Cataclysm lvl 85 raid epic item? The question that blows my mind is why a low lvl item is more valueable than a high lvl item.. its ridiculous, but then again, might be worth something on AH ^^

Comment by Rozencrantz

I found one of these yesterday and sold it on the AH for 5555g! I guess they're probably a lot rarer nowadays than the Cataclysm content that everyone is going after.

Comment by elwood66

With epic items being a dime a dozen now, the items usefullness is not a factor.

Combining Lefty with Righty and a few other items of your choice ( I reccomend GnG for the blue lightning) to emulate a dual wielding Sith-Lord however is priceless!

Comment by jokeristheshiz

Yea i just found this and am putting it on AH as I have no use for it how much does it go for?

Comment by Calgore

FFS its 250k on my server right now, i wanted it for 4.3 to transmogrify my current sword into it

Comment by barnstorm

With the transmogrification feature being introduced in patch 4.3, this weapon will undoubtedly be one of the most sought after skins for all the reasons mentioned above. Finally, you can raid end-game content as a Jedi!

Comment by d4fF

Ok.. got me one of these. Quite ironic actually... I farmed BC heroics for gear to transmogrify.... and this dropped. Sadly, I'm no Star Wars-fan... so I don't care about the look.

I see these out for 100k, 200k, 400k. But how much do they actually sell for?

Any1 here have any experiences selling this item after transmogrifing was announced?

Comment by kathrhin

Well, I don't know what it sell for, but I know that on Lightbringer EU, apparently, it's not worth 50g... I hate my server... Someone just chatblocked me for replying to their question of how much I was selling it for with 'I don't know, maybe 10k? According to Wowhead, it has been listed at upwards of 250k'

Comment by vivisecting

Just bought one for 7500g! Everyone says how this is a lightsabre, but it just looks like a flame sword to me. (which is cooler, anyway)

Comment by MajorMage

Damn, I didn't know what this sword was when I got it.
I was spamming dungeons in Auchindoun to get BC reps to exalted.
I checked the AH but there were none listed so I advertised it in Trade.
Someone asked me how much I wanted for it and I said 100 Gold.
When I asked the guy if he had a level 70 toon and he said no.
Said he was gonna use it for RP.
Oh well...I still made 100 Gold.

Comment by Luxe

I bought this out of trade months ago for 50g. When I had to transfer, I vendored it for the bank space as I figured I'd never use it. After finding out about transmog, I opened a ticket to see if I could get it restored. The GM went back pretty far and looked for a long time but couldn't seem to find it in my logs. Disappointed, I closed the ticket and logged off. When I logged back in I checked my mail and there it was. Sometimes, GMs are pretty awesome. From what I can tell it's quite rare now as I haven't seen one in a long time and I have several friends looking for one for their 4.3 sets.

Comment by ae1282

another option for Transmog is the spellfire longsword (sorry, new to this, no idea how to setup a link) the pics on Wowhead don't do it justice.

Comment by yinxz

Just sold one as of today 28/9/2011 for 22,000 gold. Same day purchase, bought it for 650. I would say there is defo demand for these so get them on your undermine journal lists :)

Comment by Wallywonks

You got it for 650g? Nice profit.

As usual on my inflated server there is 2 in AH going for 45k a piece.

Don't understand the hype. Just get a nice sword and throw power torrent on it.
Or you can get the Spellfire Longsword by farming Mennu in Normal Slave Pens.

Comment by kathrhin

*sobs* Why can't I have this kind of Economy on my server >_< I have TWO blades, and I can't get 100g for the pair!

Comment by Tyro

For those interested in transmogrification with this, one of the rules is main hands can only be used to transmog other main hands. Check your weapons!

Comment by vivisecting

Alright, I have nine of these sitting on an alt. Six cost me 7500g each, one cost me 4500g, another cost me 600g, and the last one I actually found... is it obvious I'm hoarding them for 4.3? I'll probably use one and give another to a friend, but hopefully I'll be able to double what I paid for them. My server seems to be pretty poor, so I'm not so sure about that.

Comment by Benegesserit

Blizzard took a dump on sword wielding casters this patch. Nothing to transmog this into for you!

It still counts as a MH so you'll need an Main hand sword to be able to transmogify it.

Comment by Sagero

Make sure you'll need a Main Hand Sword to be able to transmogify. One Handed sword won't do it.

Bought it myself to try but noticed it didn't work ;( qqq

Comment by hampusdif

i bought one for 2000 gold yust before 4,3 now however noone takes me seriously when i try and sell it..they think its outrageous for a 70 sword to cost more than 10 g....

Comment by badweather

got this sword this week while running BT, sold it for 15k the same day, the guy who bought it showed the transmogrified weapon to me and it looks a lot nicer than on screenshots, I kind of regret selling it for 15k because there is a few for 30k-40k on the AH on my realm

Comment by Retrogear

Looking to sell both this item and Teebu's Blazing Longsword on ARGENT DAWN EU send me some mail : "Rochela" any offers welcomed. Looking to sell both together for around 50k, or 30k each.

Comment by Scram2012

I had this drop last week off a Rift Lord in normal mode. I put it up on the AH for 30K over the weekend, but got no interest. I'm going to try again this week for a lower price. Some things to consider about this sword when selling it-

The fact that it is main hand only makes it worth much less than Tebu's, for transmog.

You are looking at potential buyers who either use a caster sword, or who will just buy it for role play fun. Pretty limited market.

Other than that, an amazing looking sword, I would probably keep it for my rogue if it was one-hand.

Comment by Elladaryn

I just got mine today. It has its own lighting effects just like Teebu's, which is something very unique and picturesque, definitely worth the price or the farming time.

Comment by Rammice

Just sold one of these for 5k, 10 minutes after I listed it on the AH :o

Comment by Superchief

I'm buying every one of these I see for 5k. I'll be the one laughing in my mountain of gold when Blizzard rolls around the transmog fix to mainhand/offhand/onehand weapons. It's common sense they are going to do it, only a matter of time. They'll probably do it for MoP.

Comment by healingenzo

Just sold one for 8,000 gold. Took 3 weeks & was in the AH about 4-5 times.

Comment by NeoJB

This item just dropped from Harbinger Skyriss in The Arcatraz. Not seeing him in the loottable though.

Comment by Moriarty888

Just sold on Lethon for 80k - still think that is cheap these days - its awesome sword (just hope they correct xmog) If i get lucky to find another (or buy for cheap on AH - this one I picked up for 500g!) I'll def keep for the day my tank can wield it!

Comment by SousChef

Just got a drop from an Ethereal Priest in Mana Tombs! Super excited! seen them anywhere from 4k-25k though, so hopefully I can make some big bucks!

Comment by dagomatt

Just bought this for 2.2k on my realm(nazgrel). I know the guy selling it too. What a dope he was for selling so cheap. oh well my gain.

Comment by phantom325

Zahrym quoted earlier on his official twitter account that in 5.2 they will be removing main hand/off hand restrictions to weapons for transmog. Also most likely it will be possible to transmog a sword - axe - mace etc.

Buy this NOW for semi-low prices, and sell for RIDICULOUS amounts when you can transmog it into a 1h sword next patch!

Comment by Synrithh

As 5.2 you will be able to transmorg this into one-hand weapons! Finally!

Comment by ZerOrbit

My guildy must have not known how expensive it was and sold it to me for 2k. That tends to happen a lot. You will notice it more if you check the auction house very very often.

Comment by Zaviothan

I can confirm this item CAN be transmogged onto a One handed weapon in 5.2 PTR.

Example: Warrior/Rogue/Monk/DK etc can now Transmog this weapon in their duelwield, which will make for a usually alot cheaper then the infamous Teebu's Blazing Longsword.

Comment by Frostdamage

Might become more expensive in 5.2 since u can transmog to one-hander or Teebu's Blazing Longsword will be cheaper.

Comment by Omnies

Note that Blade of Wizardry has a much lighter, white-ish glow as compared to Teebu's Blazing Longsword - so if you want that fire look, you'll still have to shell out the big gold for Teebu's. If what you're after is the "lightsaber" effect and the glow it casts on the environment, though, this is a great alternative come 5.2.

Comment by Playingnaked

As for patch 5.2 Blade of Wizardry can be transmogged in both hands, Prices for this valuble item will go very high so hurry up and get yours while their still cheap on ah :) GL!

Comment by Emilith

As of 5.2, this sword seems to pulse whereas before it was a steady burning blade. Not sure if I really like the change. Really diminishes this 1hander's beauty in my opinion. :(

Comment by Delorianne

I can personally confirm that this dropped off of a trash mob in my daily heroic run of Sethekk .

I can't believe it! Haha.

Comment by Terrassen

Does currently look like the blade's animation is bugged. Only breaths of light are coming out, instead of a constant flow to be a "blade".

Comment by trozen

Anyone know a good looking held in off-hand for this weapon?

Comment by Arcanefall

It's price went crazy after 5.3 because of the transmog changes , it went up amazingly from 4k to 45k ( On my server Ragnaros) I guess I have to farm this for gold , It's a very common way now to farm gold since Teebu and Blade of Wizardry are now nearly the same, but anyone knows the best way to farm it?

Comment by Baneleaf

Long long ago I bought this in trade for 800g on my warlock and used it for a very very long time. Unfortunately there was no indication of transmog and I had way too much inventory and I dissenchanted all of my bc gear. Sad warlock.

Comment by xkrissi

my account got hacked by a gold seller, i get my account back and i see this in my backpack ^^

Comment by redskull3000

i was runing black temple and got this first go, i had no idea what it was the i looked it up and exploded:) since i was running this with friends they said if your gonna sell it split the money with us, so i transmoged it.

Comment by Cheezeslice

Just wondering what this sword is going for on your servers? Someone is trying to sell it for 150k on Ghostlands right now, trade chat is going bozonkers, lol!

Comment by Polarchris

I found one from Slave Pens Heroic trash, not sure which tipe of mob was they were piled up. Sold it for 15k gold to someone.

Comment by BulldogSVK

Comment by spectre289

These can now be found in Big Crate of Salvage

Comment by Neutralis

The 3D model does it no justice.

Comment by rogermw

Your powers are weak, old man.

Comment by Shadowlugiahemos

Would anyone believe that I looted this thing from a Big Crate of Salvage at my Garrison? I mentioned it in my guild chat and the first response I got was 'Holy #$%^' XD

I placed this in the AH almost immediately :)

Comment by Mystterious

Technical question about the Blade of Wizardry: When you dont use the blades does the blades are in your back (both in your back), OR the blades are on each side of your pelvis like 2 daggers (one on the left side of your pelvis and one on the right side of your pelvis)?

Oh and in the screenshots section, some pictures show the blades when the toon dont use them and they are on each side of your pelvis like 2 daggers.

~

Thank you very much for an answer!

Comment by ZerefArcana

I think a mob needs to be added to the drop list. In Black temple i've had the blade of wizardry drop from a trash mob right before you kill Supremus and from a another trash mob at Reliquary of Souls. Im not sure if this info can help many, but i just want to throw out that the bonechewer behemoth isnt the only one that can drop it. Hope this helps some of you!

Comment by Shaile

Headsup. If you want to combine a fire sword with an echant to boost its visual this sword will NOT work. no illusions obtainable from a enchanting studys follower will show up on this weapon. For that, you will still need Teebu's Blazing Longsword. all illusions work on that one (tested as of 6.2).
