This weapon transmog needs to be a Bind on Account epic transmog token like every other weapon in Zereth Mortis. I got the blue version of this sword from Tazavesh on my Death Knight to unlock the transmog. I tried killing Xy’Rath on my DK and did not get sword. I then killed on my hunter in survival spec (uses agility, can unlock swords) and did not get the sword.
I checked Wowhead… this sword is a Bind on Pickup Rare item, spec locked to Monk/DH/Outlaw Rogue. This is really disappointing if you don’t have one of these 3 classes at max level.
Please make this sword a Bind on Account Epic transmog token like every other weapon in the Zereth Mortis zone i been getting!
So although wowhead says it only loots to ability sword users, it appears any sword user can loot it. Or at least ones that primarily use swords. No idea if hunter can.
This logic extends to Elite PvP weapon unlocks, I managed to unlocked 1h sword, 2h sword, 2h axe, polearm, staff, dagger by upgrading them to 8/9 at end of pvp season 2
Go kill the Dune bosses for a strength weapon or go get the strength sword from Engulfer. Xy’rath’s is absolutely an agility weapon. It’s greyed out for you and you shouldn’t be using an agility weapon.
