The guards in World of Warcraft are apparently passionate moviegoers. With the launch of the new “Star Wars” film, they are sporting lightsabers. Here’s how you can get the skins.
A few days ago, the latest episode of Star Wars was released. While millions of moviegoers have already seen “The Last Jedi”, there seems to be a group of big fans who likely do not have this privilege: the guards in World of Warcraft.
However, this is hardly surprising, as they have a 24/7 job and thus hardly have time to visit an Azerothian cinema. They nonetheless show their love for Star Wars, as they are currently wielding lightsabers!
The Alliance guards (in Stormwind) carry blue lightsabers, while the orcish grunts (in Orgrimmar) have chosen red lightsabers.
This seems to be an homage to the “Star Wars” franchise, which suggests that there are indeed some fans at Blizzard who have been eagerly awaiting the latest installment.
Lightsabers as Transmogrification in WoW
- If players want to carry a blue lightsaber themselves, that is also possible! Suitable transmogrifications can be found from Mennu the Betrayer in the Slave Pens. There, the Spellfire Longsword drops – a one-handed, blue lightsaber with a 16% drop chance.
- If you prefer red like a Sith, you should try to secure a Blade of Sorcery. This can occasionally be found in the auction house for prices in the six-figure range. The red “lightsaber” is a rare drop from The Burning Crusade and drops very rarely in all kinds of raids and dungeons. So, anyone wanting to farm it needs stamina.
Have you already equipped your character like a Jedi or a Sith? Or do you think that doesn’t belong in Azeroth?
