Frostguard

It has a natural frostband esque glow to it.

Anyone notice how cool* it looks in-game? Get a pattern yourself and check. Not to mention its chance on hit is basically a free icey**, so if you wanted that in the first place you could chant it with a stat bonus or a different enchant. * No pun intended, frostguard, cool. (Meaning there was a pun intended) ** I don't know if this icey effect loses power when affecting levels 61s+ like the normal icey enchant. If not this could be better than it seems. How about you wait for the only rare spawn that drops it and give it to a blacksmith who's gonna take a ton of time making it. Another thing is I can only name one other way of icey effecting over 60 monsters/players, Enchant Weapon - Deathfrost. Just search for it. But it may be hard to find DATA about it let alone it in the game.

It is the exact same proc as icy, Meaning it has the same effect on icy, so if icy does not work well after 61 then neither will this.

This sword is first seen in the Orc Campaign in Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. You get it off a dying soldier after you have Rexxar, Rokhan, Chen Stormstout and Jaina Proudmoore fight through an island of Naga. Just thought you'd might like to know.

CHEN STORMSTOUT was in warcraft? :O i'd thought they would have created him in WoW - MoP

Yes, Chen was on the Orc campaing of WC3:TFT. IIRC you had to help him make some beer and he would join you, but it was an optional quest.

Pretty awesome look; very effective; similar look to Frostmourn and Hungering Cold. What could u wish more on an RP realm when ur level 58?

Since this item is pretty much only here for looks nowadays, does anyone know if it shows an enchant's glows/effects in addition to its own?

I have Fiery Weap on it.. thought it would be uber cool to have some ice orb orbit fireblades.... forget it.. doesn't show.. -_-

I just put Icy Weapon on mine and it did not take the glow effect. So I would assume it won't take others' glow effects either.

I made two of them and it is looking awesome with those two orbs flying around. But proc is little small...

frostguard VS fireguard! opposite swords!

When transmogrified it does not lose its original enchant but instead keeps it. No other enchants will overtake it.

The [item=12797] (very popular for transmogrification due to its look and the floating ball of frost circling around it), is crafted by a Blacksmith with the [item=12836] recipe. The recipe in turn can be obtained in two locations. It is an extremely rare drop from the rare spawn [npc=1844] in [zone=139], or it can be purchased from the vendor [npc=50129] in [zone=618] for 8 gold (before discounts). The recipe is held in limited supply by [npc=50129], but respawns in just a minute or two, so it will almost certainly be available for sale when you reach the vendor, and will be radically easier to obtain than camping and farming [npc=1844]. Note that [npc=50129] is NOT in Everlook, but instead is at the small campfire area at Mathoril at 58.1, 63.8. The recipe is not Bind on Pickup, so it may also potentially be found on Auction House (or can be sold there), although recipe collectors would be advised to just fly up to [zone=139] and purchase it for 8 gold rather than pay likely-to-be-much-higher AH prices.

Vexryn means '...fly up to Winterspring...'.

Very nice looking blade. Anyone got any ideas for matching gear? :)

About "Sheathes on the back". Nothing sheathes on my back as goblin DK but other goblin class combinations they might do. It is not so simple.

A must have sword for any DW Frost DK. It fits perfectly!

Great for transmog.

The bright orbiting frost animation is unique to this sword, and overlaps any enchant when transmogged. It bears a strong similarity in appearance to all of the orb items from Warcraft III which would encircle a hero's weapon in the same way. This looks great on more "classic" transmog sets.
