![]() ![]() It has at least five distinct colours.Ĭomment by verduranHave there been any confirmed drops post-4.0?Īfter researching a bit for the drop rates post Cata, there have been a few speculations over whether it still drops in game.ġ. Put particle density on Ultra and play under DirectX 11 and you'll see it fine. Good luck farming it!ĮDIT: Due to contradictory GM conversations on this page, here's a screenshot of the conversation.ĮDIT-EDIT: Those saying the glow has been nerfed? It hasn't. So, in summary, it seems as though it still drops in 4.3.4, but it's almost mythical in it's rarity. GM: It seems as though Wowhead updates the stats with each patch. Q: Would that info cover the time before the Cataclysm when Scale Belly was a level 45 mob instead of the low 30s one he is now? As that would skiwiff the stats a little. Wowhead isn't always correct but it's built by other grinders like yourself that has or are looking to obtain the Rainbow Sword. GM: As a gamer I like to think of this sword as "the Sword of a Thousand Truths" lol. Q: I did, but I'm concerned about a level 40 item dropping from a mob of much lower level. Check Wowhead for details of how to obtain this item. GM: I'm here about your query about what many call the "Rainbow Sword". I can post the screenshot of the discussion if need be but here are the salient sentences. The reason is because it is vendored repeatedly because of the stupid stats on it, and not everyone checks what it looks like before emptying the bags.Īs for the sword itself, I've just had a good convo with a GM about this myself. If this was a TCG item (a sword with a completely unique appearance, available for transmogrification and as a rare items go in WoW) then it'd be going for 300k+. Reins of the Spectral Tiger - 113 worldwide. Now compare that to "rare" items that go for 200k+ Teebu's Blazing Longsword - 129 worldwide. ![]() Good luck to all collectors - I hope you get the rainbow sword of your dreams as well! :)Ĭomment by 78077To give you an idea of just how rare this sword is, here's a list of rare items currently available in Auction House's worldwide (stats from TUJ): Since the sword would not come to me, I opted for using the Undermine Journal to go where the sword was. As goblins are so fond of saying, "time is money, friend," and by this point, the money was worth the time I'd spent and would be spending. For me, I gave it a good try with my Scale Belly Slaying Legion, but the RNG god was just not in my favor. I'll post a new screenshot when I get my Chromatic Sword courier toon back onto the home server.įor the latter options, it all comes down to whether you want the sword badly enough to pay real money vs having your hopes crushed time and time again every day. :P) Waiting for the transfer to go through was pretty nervewracking as I didn't want to arrive at the destination server to find that the sword had been sold a few minutes ago, but it worked, and I got it. (That's something that'll make your head explode if you let yourself dwell on it. Ironically enough, it was on a server where I've been regularly killing Scale Belly, and had noticed that I'd missed a Scale Belly spawn the day the sword was posted on the AH. I did option 2 for about half a year before I decided to bite the bullet and go for option 3 when I saw it listed for 10k through the Undermine Journal. (US server folk can also gnash their teeth over the insanely low prices - like 175g - that the European servers often seem to have for the sword, which cannot be obtained due to the fact that we can't transfer from US to EU.) Comment by KemariaIf you really want this sword, there are a few options:ġ) Be one of those insanely lucky people for whom it drops immediately or who find it for 10g on the AH because someone didn't know what they had (yes, it happens).Ģ) Start a number of DKs or level up lowbie toons on several other realms and plant them at Scale Belly's spawnpoint and make a point of logging onto them all a couple of times a day for the sole purpose of killing Scale Belly, with the intent that if the sword drops on one of them, you'll do a server transfer to get it where it belongs.ģ) Keep tabs on the The Undermine Journal to see which auction houses have the Chromatic Sword and for which price - then, if desired, you can do a server transfer to grab the sword and wait a few days before heading back to your home server.
