Burning Blade

Nice, hoping the rng gods smile on me and this mission shows up quickly. :p

Or just buy it off the AH for 20 gold

Unless your in galakrond/blackhand then youd be paying anywhere from 1k-2.5k for it. i kid you not

Probably going to be sought out avidly by orc players roleplaying as clansmen of the Burning Blade.

Having most of my characters Orcs (among the others, an arms warrior too), I'm looking forward to it. :)

I have to wonder why they went through the trouble of designing another "Blademaster" sword that only resembles it loosely, when they even designed the real thing in Hallvalor https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/469475-the-masters-cavern-masters-cavern-entrance-in-hallvalor.jpg

This mission must be quite rare as on multiple toons with garrisons, I have yet to see it.

Blizzard were quite sneaky about the new rare missions: They require your character to have an ilvl of at least 675 as well as a number of followers also with ilvl 675.

Is the sword model it uses available to players?

I do not believe the weapon model is currently available, but [item=73475] is a good substitute.

Looking at WarCraft III the best blademaster sword look-a-like is probably [item=6909]

It's been a decade, but the sword model is finally available to players, albeit in a slight recolor: [url=https://www.wowhead.com/item=244723/blade-of-the-pale-flame]Blade of the Pale Flame[/url]

Serious question. Why is this toy worth 13k or more? Shouldn't it be eventually obtainable by anyone with a Garrison?

anyone else feel like the size of the banner is a bit disappointing, at least on orc dudes? I was expecting something like what Weaponsmith Na'shra has

It looks silly on druid forms scaling-wise, in certain cases it runs parallel to the body (in travel form for instance) rather than sticking up like how flags are positioned for certain BG objectives.

Humans / Female Dreinei seem to have it sized pretty good. But any of the larger races / genders just look silly. Almost like they capped the size. Which hurts, it needs to be at least double on Orcs / Tauren.

I laughed as I tried feebly to make my banner go noticed when I tried it on my male tauren

That, and the fact the sword doesn't even look like a blademaster sword. I don't get it, Blizzard doesn't implement it as an equippable item even though it's a prop in Hallvalor ffs. The NPCs there don't even use the actual swords in lore. Wtf. ???

Why 10 minutes if this have one hour cooldown?

Some information about this toy: It puts a burning blade banner on your back in addition to transforming your weapon. It also works with dual wielding. (only your main hand weapon changes) It has a duration of 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 1 hour. It persists through combat You get it from a rare ilevel 675 garrison mission. It is bind on equip, so you can buy/sell it on the auction house. On my server they go for around 200g. Here's a video showing it off if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxiUJov_J1I

I don't suppose there's a permanent banner that can be worn? Just maybe don't make it so big that it blocks people's view of the raid too much? Blizzard certainly didn't let that happen here.

Maybe some day Ill get this mission

Made an original comment about this toy in combination with fishing, and was downvoted likely because I forgot to mention an important detail: When you have a [b]fishing pole equipped[/b], the Burning Blade will mimic the actual pole and you stand with your blade and nothing else if you start fishing. It's quite amusing as there is also no fishing line, so you're just standing there with your weapon unsheated and a random bobber in the water.
