Sword is now available from Salvage. Tier 3 Salvage Yard... no idea if that matters
Am i correct in understanding with the salvage nerf in legion, This item again does not drop and can't be looted anywhere in game?
This is supposed to be the replica of the sword that Captain Varo'then uses in Well of Eternity. Not implemented in game yet, but I hope it gets added sometime soon. A pretty neat look imo.
