Blackwater Cutlass

This says small glimmering shard 5%, but I've never gotten anything but.

me either,ive only gotten small glimmering shards...i only get it from squallshapers

That isnt a cutlass D: looks nothing like one, i wanna be a pirate and i have to use this?? ><

yea sure :p

It looks like a dagger oh well +2 agi for DW hunters

Does this dagger mean, that the defias pirates are friends with the Blackwater Raiders?

Okay, two things. 1) It's not a dagger and, 2)They're pirates. Pirates steal things. Put two and two together...

You can buy a really cheap, good looking cutlass in Booty Bay.

you can also farm for the defias rapier

it is now a rare instead of uncommon since the current 4.0.3a patch

I just got 4 of these in one solo run of Deadmines, are these not a mega rare drop anymore? Like, did they up the drop chance, or am I just extremely lucky? o_o

I received two in one run. Although rare, it seems to be a pretty common drop(for now).

Two here in the same run of Deadmines as well.

Three in a run myself. The drop rate is fairly high at the moment. As a side note, from all the swords that drop in The Deadmines, this is the best itemized one towards Combat Rogues.

A friend of mine ran my low level character through this dungeon, and it two runs we got 5 of these. The drop rate seems to be incredibly high for a BoE. The weirdest part is that they would drop off of one group of enemies.

2 runs 7 cutlasss for me today :D

would like to add, that since 5.3 the drop rate for this sword is extremely small. I ran deadmines over the course of 2 days 21 times in an attempt to get it. I never saw it drop once, in fact I never saw any blue weapon drop that was boe during all of that time.

The biggest problem for those without heirlooms, particularly new tanks, is their inability to gear properly. My friend who is new to wow, decided he wanted to be a tank, and I told outright, that gearing will be a real problem especially in low level dungeons like deadmines and shadowfang keep.

The problem stems from the fact that swords have some how become rare commodities at this level. Green mail armor strength items are particularly weak against heirlooms of the same level. Essentially those in heirlooms will completely and utterly out dps the tank without heirlooms which really mean as I said to him..if they pull it they kill ot. Not to worry at low level, you have no looms and your gear is almost white thanks to ridiculously low drop rates on tank gear these days. Its not unlucky, it's just that epics have more of a chance of dropping than green mail tanking items below level 30.

Blacksmithing has been train wrecked for new players. suddenly even basic items which only need copper ore are suddenly needing a fistful of differing gems..not worth the time of day doing...unless you have access to unlimited gold. Proof positive for me as a blacksmith and all the changes, that the people at blizzard have spent nearly 9 years failing at trying to create crafting professions.

Found two of these inside Oceanus Cove in Azsuna - Broken Isles. There are chests located every where inside the cove. And for some reason Blizzard wants us to have them. Sadly they're only worth about 7G on Stormrage

I also got one of these in the chest. Really not sure why they are there.

It's just a flavour item to go with the pirate theme, much like all the alcoholic beverages the chests also contain.

and it really doesn't look like my idea of a cutlass

yep just dropped for me too ... :)

This dropped off a [url=https://wowhead.com/npc=48522]Defias Pirate[/url] after a single run of the Deadmines. Good luck and happy hunting. I'll update this post with more info in the future.
