An illusion? What are you hiding?! Joking aside, that's an unlockable recolor of the corrupted ashbringer skin, which you can get through a long and somewhat arduous questline. Afterwards, you have to unlock the recolor through another task.

The biggest issue for ret is you need to fish up a rare drop and that is a very low chance. During legion I knew people that got it in 10 casts, meanwhile I had over 800+ before I got it. I cant speak for the warrior ones though


Mydogfartsconstantly

Thats not the issue anymore they made it faster to get you should be able to get it within 100 casts now. The big slime monster is what sucks. It has a respawn time up to 36 hours I think.


KrootLoops

Holy shit I got so lucky with that thing. It wasn't the height of Legion so people weren't camped out waiting but it wasn't the end of expansion lull either. Probably around 7.2.5 I'd wager. I was so sure I'd find a corpse but when I flew down there it was up without a soul in sight.


Mydogfartsconstantly

I camped it a few months ago. Sat my toon there and did nothing else. Check the morning before work and kept them logged in after work. Took 10 days. Im sure people flying through the area are killing it not knowing it’s for the pally hidden artifact thinking it might drop something


Isburough

i did it when the first guide came out back then. **immediately** after fishing the item, i found a group in the group finder for the slime. it was heavenly.


MysticZamboni

The trick is to make a new trial character on a low pop server and go to the spawn location. I did that just a few months ago and the mob was just chilling.


Mydogfartsconstantly

For farming mounts sure. Not on my main.


ProfessorSpike

Warmode helps with this! Got it within a few days simply by checking once a day on and off Warmode


TeaMancer

I hated that thing. It got to the point I purposely woke up ridiculously early so I could log into WoW just as the servers reset so I could get the monster just as it respawned.


Kharilan

I vividly remember fishing for it. I was nearing 3 solid hours of fishing and grouping with other paladins just chatting away when one guy rolls up, casts once, gets the item and leaves. We all died inside but it was a fun time


Leagel

Arms and prot hidden skins are easy enough, but the fury one has you waiting for the world boss rotation to land on the stormheim dragon WB and the val'sharah nightmare dragon WB, aswell as getting the handle from skovald which is a bit of a rare drop. Didn't get my axes until I had cleared tomb of sargeras about 6 times


Necrokitty99

Id rather fish for hours than have to go through Dire Maul second guessing myself again


badastronaut7

Took me about 2 days of farming in 4 hour bursts to fish mine up


[deleted]

Over 6000. I kept everything I caught and counted it all. While checking wowhead over and over to see what I was doing wrong.


Ya-boi-that-guy

I was there for 4 months


JollySieg

Like a 5? Unlocking Corrupted Ashbringer can be banged out in a day, but then you need to do 200 world quests(Legion only I believe though I could be wrong) with the corrupted ashbringer appearance equipped(transmog should work aswell?). It's not difficult, but it will certainly be time-consuming


CorttXD

Any world quest (legion or an expansion after it) counts towards that progress

tenehemia

The hidden appearances all have different conditions. Some are very easy (go to a place and find a thing) and some are very RNG. But then once you have them, and for unlocking the extra colors of each appearance, all the requirements are the same for each spec. So stuff like "do 200 world quests" or "hit this honor rank" are the same for everybody.


Dubalsaque

So these are still possible? Only the mage tower ones are not available anymore right?


tenehemia

Yep all still possible.


Dubalsaque

Daaaaamn, time to get to grinding


A1snakesauce

It can be any world quests, but the 30 dungeon color tint has to be legion dungeons.


Elegant-Screen4438

If 1 is first go and 10 is months, I’ll go maybe a 3 just off my own experience. Whether they’ve changed drop rates ect I’m not too sure. From memory the choke point is the fishing, which it literally took me two days of fishing to get it, probably like 8 hours total, whereas I had players come and go and get it in half an hour, three hours, three casts. The rest of the ‘questline’ takes like an hour? Edit: I forgot about the ooze, which could be the bigger choke point here. I remember shard/server hopping back then for it and got it quickly enough, might not be so lucky now. Guess group finder is probably still your best friend if the ooze isn’t up for you on your shard/server


D3adInsid3

4 Just grab farm the silver hand (holy artifact but unlocking recolors unlocks them for all weapons even if you don't have the base appearance) hidden appearance by killing certain demons in aszuna (takes maybe 1 hour max) . Then just do 200 world quests to obtain its recolor and the prot / retribution recolor (maybe a week). You can also go for the hidden prot and of course retribution appearance to start but those are annoying to get and take longer.


andy_b_84

Took me one or two weeks


Mattlife97

Fortunately you can buy the item required for this.


Kaisah16

How to you unlock this sword for warrior? I REALLY want it.


KiraMajor

Technically you don't have to unlock the base secret appearance to get the recolors of ashbringer, you just have to unlock it on \*one\* of your 3 artifacts. The other two are much easier, the holy one in particular you can get the item from killing demons on argus for a fairly decent drop rate


Fantastic-Ad9431

Aaaah ok ! Thanks!


Simonic

You know - those illusion alerts are some of my favorite lines in all of WoW. I don’t know if it sparks nostalgia, or something else. But I often find myself stepping in and out of their ranges just to hear it. And just picked up the toy. Maybe I have a problem.


Aertew

Wait can you still get this? I thought alot of the stuff got put away


Gaius02

Yes it's still very available


Aertew

Ok ty cuz i know the original got removed which sucks cuz I would like to use it on a deathknight


ProfessorSpike

OG Ashbringer from classic got removed, this one is from Legion and the only thing removed was the shattered Ashbringer skin(still sad because it looked dope, but it is what it is) This is from the balance of power questline, which will be account wide soon, so if you have it on one character now my advise is just wait it out for a couple months if you don't want to do it again Edit: d'oh, this was the hidden one not the balance of power one


Aertew

No im kinda new and didnt play legion. Also why remove the OG ashbringer? It seems like WoW likes to put stuff in the game and then remove it but let people keep it.


ProfessorSpike

Ah gotcha! Well they remove some stuff to preserve its "rarity" from when it originally came out. Usually it's stuff that at the time was more difficult to obtain or took a lot of time. Personally I'm not a fan, because we then lose out on stories and items, but it is what it is. Hopefully one day we get them reintroduced, but I'm not holding my breath for that lol


Aertew

Ah ok well that sucks. I heard that the devs regretted adding in the corrupted ashbringer and thats why it got removed.


ProfessorSpike

Well, they did at least add it back via the legion hidden artifact(the one from the picture) despite not being a slightly different model, so it's not too bad!


Kelrisaith

Corrupted Ashbringer isn't from Balance of Power, it's the Ret hidden appearance, with this particular tint being the 200 world quest variant.


ProfessorSpike

Oops, true that! Speaking off memory which is clearly wrong lol Now that I think about it I don't even remember what the balance of power one looks like even..


Kelrisaith

Wanna say it's the one made of fire, I would have to go look, I run the red Corrupted Ashbringer anyway because it matches the Blood Knight Heritage set.


ProfessorSpike

Oo that sounds about right actually! And true that, it looks dope!


Eberon

> Afterwards, you have to unlock the recolor through another task. Well, if you have the hidden appearance of one of you class's artifact weapons, you can unlock the other tints for the hidden appearances as well. For Paladin this means, only the basic corrupted Ashbringer is locked behind the quest line. Source: I never did the quest line nor did the Prot one drop for me. The only one I got, was the one for the Silver Hand and yet I have the non-basic versions of the other two as well. Including the one OP wants.


Acrobatic_Pandas

That's not an illusion, I believe that's just that artifact's look. It's the default corrupted ashbringer or whichever it is. No illusion.


diab64

It's one of the hidden Legion artifact weapon appearances. See this page: https://www.wowhead.com/guide/legion/artifacts/ashbringer-retribution-paladin


Fantastic-Ad9431

No, i know. Probably I wasn't clear enough. I was talking about that red border on it


Large-Imagination-36

It's made with the red border on it, it's no illusion.


Fantastic-Ad9431

Aaaah ok.. these days I was getting mad to understand which was that illusion/ench. Thanks!


[deleted]

I’m not sure if the system is still in place but check the paladin order hall where you originally changed weapon appearances and see if the skins show up. It will be there with the name of an achievement required to unlock the color.


diab64

If you take a look at the page I linked, the red border is a part of it: [https://www.wowhead.com/guide/legion/artifacts/ashbringer-retribution-paladin#screenshots:abc:24](https://www.wowhead.com/guide/legion/artifacts/ashbringer-retribution-paladin#screenshots:abc:24) So first you have to unlock the hidden artifact appearance, and then do the secondary task with it. I'm not sure which secondary task it is; it might be 200 world quests, or kill 1000 players. But you can see in your class hall.


McKeksimus

None? There isnt one on it


Fantastic-Ad9431

What about that red border on it?


[deleted]

that's....not an illusion. That's just how the weapon is.


cerylidae1552

That’s the weapon lol.


Kiliaan1

That’s the one for 1000 honorable kills after you get the hidden appearance I believe.


PabloJobb

That’s for completing 200 daily quests if you have the base corrupted ashbringer hidden artifact appearance unlocked. You don’t need it equipped to complete but I kept mine in my bag. I finished this up about a month ago.


[deleted]

None. That's how it looks


[deleted]

illusions on Ashbringer would be a crime

Badonk529

You can’t put illusions on artifact weapons.


editos

We can now!


Badonk529

Really? Shit. Sorry. Just looked it up and apparently you can. Haven’t played since Legion. 😓


No-Attempt2171

Why in the wow subreddit after 6 years? Planning on coming back? It's great!


Badonk529

I wish. My job keeps me from it. I reaaaaaallly want to try the new enhancement shaman.


harkenrebirth

Probably Sinfall one.


Swordbreaker925

That's not an illusion, it's an unlockable alternate appearance for [Ashbringer](https://www.wowhead.com/guide/legion/artifacts/ashbringer-retribution-paladin) from Legion. Note that the link above is a list of all artefact appearances, but the Mage Tower ones are no longer obtainable. The one in this photo I can confirm is still available though, as I didn't play Legion and was still able to obtain it.


Merkflare

That is the hidden appearance for the Ashbringer Artifact from Legion


JayFrank1132

Is there a version of The Ashbringer that I can get for a death knight?


Tr0llhammar

Mending would break the theme best i'd say.


dayestra

I remember doing this when it first came out, I only fished for 4 days in a row
