This is a reward from a chain of quests, starting with The Sacred and the Corrupt.

You need friendly with The Ashen Verdict to see the quest.

You get the quest from Highlord Darion Mograine inside the Icecrown Citadel.

It ultimately leads you to the quest Shadowmourne..., which will reward you with the legendary axe Shadowmourne!

Kommentar von Daylis

So basically a great weapon, but very farming oriented. Either you farm a staggering amount of gold, or you farm emblems on 42 lvl80 characters to buy primorial saronite.

Usually a guild would give some support to someone working on Shadow's Edge by saving a few that drop or buying them using guild funds. Having extra 80 alts really helps.
On my server the value of the 25 Saronite is 80,000g, so people may buy gold, work harder at running the AH, or hope there guild bank has stuff in it.

The itemization on this axe is amazing - from the perspective of a warrior, it has ArPen and Crit (and if you are an Orc, you even get some Expertise to boot), the perfect socket color, wonderfully slow speed, and an equal strength/stamina spread. It probably doesn't get much better than this outside heroic mode ICC25.

Considering this, it is probably worth saving up to get this even if you never plan to progress towards Shadowmourne. A month or two down the road, Primordial Saronite will be dropping below 1000g a pop, and if you start saving/moneymaking now, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to afford it.

According to MMO-champion database, the socket bonus is 6 strength.
*At the time of this post there is no socket bonus listed on the item.

Kommentar von Ansi

Yes, you can use this in arena.

No armor or weapons has ever been restricted from being equipped in arena. Items with on use is another story, and has nothing to do with Shadowmourne.

Kommentar von nenadnesha15

I think this weapon is worth farming all that saronite.As a death knight myself i already started doing it as i have many alts it will be no problem getting the saronite in 2-3 months from emblem vendor.

Kommentar von Treston323

Great weapon for all specs. Unholy Death Knights and Ret pallies might want to get Bryntroll, the Bone Arbiter instead(if you aren't going for Shadowmourne) but for Blood Death Knights and Warriors, this will probably be BiS until Heroic for it being so greatly itemized for them.

Kommentar von nenadnesha15

I know this might be a silly question, but is there an option to view this axe along with the Death knight new tier in 3D on a blood elf male?

edit: There was no need to downrate i just needed an answer to that question...

Kommentar von Thrakin

I love when warriors tell ret pallies and dks wut they should use...first of all why would a ret pally desire the bone arbiter over the shadowmourne or the shadows edge for that matter...the only bonus is the faster attack speed which would enable the tics to get up faster but all your instant attack dmg and seal dmg will hit a lot less harder because of that faster attack speed. Secondly there are no other additional attributes on the bone arbiter that scale w/ our attacks to increase our dmg. All Dps have healers to heal them in battle so that proc is pretty much useless to anyone except a dk tank.

Everyone says that Arm pen is pretty much the weakest stat for ret pallies and even unholy dks for that matter but i totally disagree with that. Its true that Arm pen doesnt impact any of the seal dmg that the pallys dish out but it effects all the melee, crusader strike, and divine storm attacks. With the new T10 2 set bonus the amount of divine storm attacks is going to be nearly doubled. And if you know how to dps w/ the pally your going to have very little cooldown time w/ your rotation to increase your overall dps which a good portion of it will consume physical dmg. Also w/ every point of haste i am putting into my toon i am increasing the effectiveness of arm pen b/c i am increasing the overall total physical dmg i am doing throughout the fight. For unholy Dks now scourge strike does phys dmg so arm pen has become much more useful for them.

Just Because a stat isnt the most desired doesnt make it not useful in increasing dps and that particular stat's effectiveness is based on your entire gear's itemization. I out dps ret pallies that are 300 and 400 points higher on gear score b/c my skill, knowledge of toon and fight, and my gear's itemization (not score).

Kommentar von 229018

Most of what i've been hearing put Bryntroll's proc as doing more damage then Divine Storm throughout a fight. Not to mention how lousy of a stat Arpen is for ret.
Also, for all we know Bryntroll is the Armageddon of ICC, there might very well be a Betrayer of Humanity level weapon later in the instance.

TL:DR people with money/who want a legendary will get this, anyone who doesn't will be rolling with the normal or heroic bryntroll when it's accessible.

Kommentar von horaxe

I picked up mine last night, it's already proving to be a great weapon. The Acidic Bloods from Festergut and Rotface always drop as long as there is a raid member with the quest. So, really there's no reason to "wait" on the Primordials unless funds are an issue. Interestingly the followup quest is flying by, the adds summoned by the various trash in the second wing all count, as well as the opposite faction NPCs before the gunship, and all of the NPCs on the gunship. I fully anticipate getting this knocked out around the time next wing opens up, then I can work on Unholy and Blood quests, and be prepared for the Frost one as soon as Sindragosa's wing opens.

While you're wielding this (or maybe just on the quest A Feast of Souls) you get whispers from the Lich King.

The Lich King whispers:

Bring me your weapon, champion, that I might feed it the soul of its master!
Soon, mortal, you too shall have a blade for a prison.
Take them, mortal, these souls will again be mine soon enough.
Remember hero: I, too, once sought a weapon of great power...
Look at you, child; would-be wielder of souls... you cannot fathom the power that lies at my command!
You stumble about in darkness. There is no light here. No mercy! Icecrown has claimed the souls of better heroes than you.
I see you too are gathering souls for your own ends. Are we really so different, champion?
The Light will abandon you, hero, just as it did me.
More souls... yes, more... you will find it hard to stop, mortal.
The hunger your weapon feels is but a shade of what awaits. You want to see real hunger? Real power? Continue onward, hero. I am waiting.
Yes, do it! Create your monstrous new weapon. It too will serve me when your soul is mine.
The moment is soon at hand, mortal. You shall toil for eternity in a new Azeroth!
Never have I had cause to regret sparing your life, mortal. Always, you find ways to amuse me.

It seems like new ones are added as wings unlock.

The Axe is far too small on a male nightelve :/

Kommentar von 523050

what i would do if i was a warrior i would get the spec that lets you hold a 2h in 1h and get shadows edge and shadowmourne then you'll then have the two strongest weapons in WoW :) but my main is a dk and my alt is a lock :( well when my charas are 80 and have there tier im will get that armor you can pass to alts

Kommentar von Grksinner

Since the hotfix on Bryntroll , shadow's edge is slightly better.
As well as with the 2p bonus, it should give higher dps for rets

Kommentar von leetnoam

Just as a warning - if u go for Shadow's Edge, DO NOT HAVE BONE ARBITER IN OFF HAND. proccs too rarely to be worth it. Off hand wepon just wants to have best raw stats u can get

Kommentar von Thrift

Clearly this is the optimal gem and enchant - http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/crimson-rain/Sedge.jpg?t=1264575782

Kommentar von 535575

Imba and nice axe , just got mine today :) , its a must for all melee dps in my opinion!

Kommentar von 100627

Finally a weapon where Blizzard doesn't throw us a curve ball that has a blue socket. They should know by now that mostly everyone uses Bold Cardinal Ruby or Fractured Cardinal Ruby

Kommentar von 100le

While I do agree with you for the most part. Their is actually a good reason to get it soon. Because the next quest has you killing 1000 scourge in icc. So the sooner the better for that part. But as I said no point in spending tons of money to get it now when probably around jan 12th or so the primordials will drop in price drastically.

Why do you think 1.12 prices will go down?

Kommentar von dreadblood

the one thing many ppl seem to be missing is that though bryntroll is close to this.. now that we can kill the lich king we can get shadowmourne which is waaaaaaaaaayyy better than any other wep IMO
but I do understand that they made their comments beforehand and at the time they were viable.. that or you cant actually kill him for whatever reason

Kommentar von 541890

From what I'm seeing as far as theorycrafting goes, Heroic Bryntroll is nearly on-par with Shadowmourne for Retribution Paladins, even after the nerf to Bryntroll.

Kommentar von eamon2plz

As a DK blood tank, I find this and the actual Legendary to be Best-in-Slot for EH and threat. If the primordial are easy to come by and you have a solid guild that regularly clears through plague wing, by all means - pick it up!

Kommentar von 545254

if you wanna skip all the quests and turn you shadow edge
into shadowmourne ask chuck norris to cough on it

Kommentar von 266285

Do you get to keep Shadow's Edge?

Or does it consumed when making Shadowmourne or something?

Kommentar von 266285

seems like a question only a fury warrior would ask. why else would you want both?

Truer words were never spoken. XP

Kommentar von Felix79

I've had mine for a few weeks now and it is a awsome wepon in it's own right let alone the fact it will eventually turn into the Shadowmourne. For me being a Blood DK dps I have found this wepon offers me everything I need and has allowed me to focous on other items while other people fight over the other 2H weps in ICC.

Note* I spent the best part of 30,000 gold on the saronites on EU Kul'Tiras in April to get this wep!

Kommentar von 534544

Got this axe last night and i gotta say this!><... Mcshadow's edge mmm I'm lovin it!

Kommentar von Celestos

Got it yesterday and as a Human Ret Pally coming from Quel'Delar, Macht der Treuen lost on expertise (slightly... d*mn stupid racials) and some haste but raw power of the axe compensates that lost (2x20Str gems and +140AP vs undeads is nothing bad... maybe upgradeable but... as starters is not bad at all - other enchant is on the way when I get the 10 crystals).

http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/8453/wowscrnshot060710094941.jpg

Got some crystals and changed +140AP with Berseker. Much much beter now.

Kommentar von QFred

If you check the Cataclysm version of this weapon, you'll see the ArP will be replaced with haste and some of the Str will be passed to Sta.

Kommentar von 663132

i suppose it sucks when u lose it but u get shadowmourne which is even better :)

Kommentar von obiwaynekenobi

As of Patch 4.0.1 the hardest part of obtaining Shadow's Edge is getting all 25 Primordial Saronites - they now cost 266 Justice Points so it would take 6,650 JPs to buy all 25. If you haven't gotten Shadow's Edge already, it's probably not worth it now unless you have a lot of time and/or cash on your hands.

Kommentar von Kuja

For some reason this weapon has no textures since the latest patch :P Everyone's Edge is just green. At least for me.

Kommentar von Hawkyyy

As of 4.0.6 - 24th March, this can no longer be disenchanted.

Kommentar von 631630

What the hell is with all the fail as posts telling people to go for Bryntrol? No Bryntrol was never good. You should've have been going for heroic (or even normal) Citadel Enforcer's Claymore and Ramaladni's Blade of Culling over that piece of crap axe.

And your BIS as an arms or fury warrior before you were able to get this, heroic 25 or LK weapons was CRYPTMAKER.

I wouldn't rage so much over this but not only is this post full of comments outright recommending Bryntrol, but people were actually giving positive ratings to those posts.

Kommentar von Lostelf

Probably mistook it for some trash weapon....although how i will never know

Kommentar von Nelora

Shadow's Edge can no long be used for transmogrification. Why? Because, it is apart of a legendary quest line, there for it falls under the same rules as legendary weapons. I was very hopeful that I could finally use one of my most unique items I've ever owned again, but alas, this weapon will still be collecting dust in my bank vault.

Kommentar von 759741

For those that was planning to transmogrify this in The Hour of Twilight Patch 4.3.0, i have bad news. This is not Transmogrifyable just like Ashbringer/Corrupted Ashbringer and any Legendary weapon, lvl 60 pvp gear Including Knight-Captain and High Warlord. If you got those in Vanilla and have the feat of strength for the 60 PvP "Ranks" you can transmogrify them, Any weapon you get in quest chain that you have for a period of time until you complete the quest is not transmogrifyable. For example Shadow's Edge in the Shadowmourne quest chain.

NOTE : They have now changed it, Is now Transmogrify-able.

Kommentar von Nishtai

"This item's apperance cannot be used." when i tried to transmogrify my weapon :(

seems like they changed it from the ptr...

Kommentar von 897289

Very sad you can not transmorg this axe by far my favorite axe in game

Kommentar von 877036

So...4.3, transmog, possible? Its an epic, and not as cool as Shadowmourne, but hey.. ;D

Kommentar von 959513

Just an FYI - I crafted this figuring it would be cool for transmog purposes.

It will NOT allow you to transmog.

Save your time and effort if you had the same idea.

Kommentar von Spoge

Can this be used in Transmog?

Kommentar von Oneknight1984

So, since Shadow's Edge cannot be transmogrified since it is part of a legendary quest line, how come rogues can transmog their stage 1 and 2 daggers and they are also part of a legendary quest line?
