Stealthblade

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.

Useless for a lock. This is only a chance on hit, not a chance on spell hit; and warlocks should NEVER be meleeing when they could be casting a useful spell, pet aggro or not. And if you think it's good to start meleeing with one of these once you've pulled aggro off your pet...don't. Most weapon procs are 5% chance on hit, or 1-6 procs per minute. Useless to even hope it'll happen in a block of time that you could have done something far more useful, like sling another shadowbolt, or cast drain life. You're a lot better off with something that has stats, stam, dmg, int. I'd hazard a guess th

Still drops.
A friend just got it from a Hakkari Sapper.

Just dropped for me from the trash before the Avatar of Hakkar

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!

Nightelf Mage...?

Stealthblade still drops from the green Dragonkin trashmobs in the sunken temple (I got it after five runs).

I have been trying to get this mog for a week now. Is there a trick to it? I've gotten it before on normal pretty easy, has anything changed?

Pretty sure this is the only tanto style model that has a black grip. Gonna be checking the AH for it until 4.3, hope I dont get gouged too badly ^.^ If you can settle for an off-color go with [item=53300]. Probably easiest of the model to obtain, provided you havn't completed the quest already.

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.

This is an excellent resource, thank you for putting the time into it.

They won't know what hit them!

Well, I got the Ragehammer after the redesign, which was a similar Sunken Temple only zone drop rare weapon, so hopefully, all such weapons are still in the zone.

This item does continue to drop - activity log for 8/4/13 http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/kargath/Oatcake/feed

As of patch 10.1.5, [item=13953] is now obtainable again after doing the attunement quest to grant access to Old Scholomance: Link to the news article explaining the attunement

As a lock, you're in cloth. Spells are your strength, not melee. The only time you should ever be engaging in melee combat is if you've got a firestone equipped for the +fire dmg bonus. Otherwise, wands alone will get you significantly more dps, and drain life does more damage than either, and helps you live longer (with soul siphon). If you're dependent on a "sometimes" proc (read: 5% rate MAX) from a single item, you're doing something horribly wrong. If this has saved you occasionally, the heal from drain life will have saved you in most other cases. Your pet doesn't need to tank past the

Best dagger skin ever!

It is indeed the battered junk boxes that I got mine in. RNG can be evil. I might have been lucky as I got two of them, but you might swell have been unbearably unlucky. Noone will ever know :-) Stockades is the most easy place to farm them that I can think of - at least for alliance.

yes............

Very low drop rate for this thing. It's going for 599k on the AH on my realm

it still drops i got one

Worth far more than 10k friend

Locks are always able to avoid melee. You have a wand, fear, banish, pet, etc. for a reason. A lock should only melee if they're just #$%^ing around; not to keep themself from dying.

you talking about boxes dropping from mobs? or pickpocketing lockboxes from mobs in the Stockades? Because I just ran 3 full pickpocketing runs in Stockades without a single assassins blade. opened 100+ "Battered Junkbox"

I also like that one too because it has black grip.

Samurai. Ninja don't use tanto or wakizashi. They use ninjato.

Ninjas use above all else their philosophies as exemplified with the mantra, "It works."

Actually, Jader13 has a point: A tanto (lit. "small sword", nowadays regarded as a dagger or knife) is indeed a traditional samurai weapon. That being said, ninja were pragmatists and they would use any means necessary to achieve their goals, as indicated by mosstone, even by posing as tanto-wielding samurai. On the other hand - contrary to popular culture - there is no historical evidence that ninja preferred to use the ninjato.

Thanks for the confirmation. Gives me some hope!

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.

It definitely still drops, I farmed for mine a couple months ago (I got lucky too since it only took about 15 minutes of farming).

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

This dropped off a Hakkari Sapper after 118 runs. Good luck!

Got mine after 4 runs on a hakkari sapper ([npc=8336]). This is at 200k at the AH today, this is weird.

Got it out from a Quantum Knife.

I also ran pickpocket runs through Stockades and never saw any dagger contained in a box. So, I looked the box up on wowhead and Battered Junkboxes do not contain a dagger. You are either confused or wowhead is in error.

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

it still drops, just sold it on AH for 29999 gold.

Please read again, it says "sometimes" . Another thing, Locks are not ALWAYS able to avoid meleeing. This thing has helped me countless times to avoid death while soloing. As for the stats, you have an offhand option for that. So while the other guy has faded and saved a few precious seconds to regain control over the situation, you go ahead and "sling" your shadowbolt or drain life while still gaining aggro. :)

LOL! at the above comment. Locks are always able to avoid melee !?!? Must not play too much huh? Anyways, this will be my last post on this subject but I'm sure it will not be yours Ive got better things to do like actualy play the game.

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

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

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.

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

ninjatastic

On the right server this dagger can sell for 10k if not more. I got it today and sold it for that amount instantly in Trade.

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.
