[CATA] Old Zin'rokh Model

WoW Classic WoW Classic Bug Report
1

I got lucky and found the new archeology sword Zin’rokh (item ID: 64377). When I got it I found that earlier items I had transmog’d with the original Zin’rokh (item ID: 19854) were mapped to using the newer item’s model.

Additionally, I found that when I went to the bank and checked out the original Zin’rokh it now renders with the new item’s appearance. This was not the case before looting the newer version of the item.

There’s a chance that the old item had it’s appearance hotfixed in with the newer model, but it would be a coincidence to be sure.

2

Both Zin’rokhs have the same model, and the same name.

3

Yes, but a couple days ago they did not have the same model.

4

Then perhaps it was bugged for a bit, because they’ve always had the same model from OG to current Retail.

5

Not so the OG vanilla appearance is the sword held in an inverted orientation so that it’s “point down”. You can go check the images on WoW Head to see the differences.

6

Oh I see what you mean, same model but held differently.

Just checked and my OG one is held like the new one, and I don’t have the new one. Guess it got flipped around. I guess it is bugged then, but I have no idea if its a “new” bug or an “old” bug, if that makes sense. Probably nobody has the original sword on Retail.

Edit: Some screenshots from Oct 2009 show a Zin being held in the “new” orientation, a full year before Cataclysm would come out and people would have the new Zin. Looking into it more.

Edit 2: Found a comment on Wowhead that says that the original sword became “up-side down” in 3.2, or rather, its now in the orientation that it and the new sword are held in. So its only held differently in Vanilla and TBC. Common consensus at the time was that the sword’s orientation was always wrong and they just randomly fixed it for some reason.

That is not true, vanilla zin has a less textured model and Cata zin is more HD

Vanilla zin has blurry texture along the blade , cata zin does not

Also the blade is facing different

8

Looking at both side by side, they look identical. Wowhead considers them the same model.

Only in Vanilla and TBC. Patch 3.2 flipped the blade around

9

I am looking at both. Look at the old versions and not the retail versions

I have owned both of these swords for over 14 years. I would know if they looked the same.

10

I viewed them side-by-side, in-game, on Cataclysm. They are the same.

11

… The entire topic of this thread is that they look the same on Cataclysm. Which is not how it’s supposed to be.

Like, bruh…

12

Except, it is.

Wowhead says they’re the same, Retail transmog says they’re the same. All evidence is that they’re the same.

Only you think otherwise.

13

Only me? Lmao.
Don’t even bother posting here if you’re just gonna be an idiot.

14

Take your own advice. I did my research. The original sword had its model flipped starting in patch 3.2, and the new sword uses the exact same model. No evidence to the contrary.

Unlike you, I actually have the swords. I mogged the swords.
They have two separate appearances.

This is another issue of retail appearances coming into Classic, just like Tabard of the Lightbringer, Divine Storm and Chaos Bolt.
