The Blades of Azzinoth are a set of weapons wielded by Illidan. Azzinoth was a Doomguard commander whom Illidan slew 10,000 years ago. After looting the demon's twin warglaives he trained himself to use them. He has become exceedingly efficient with the weapons.

These weapons are famous as GM weapons, and have been linked to in various datamining posts and in various videos taken from illegal servers.

They are the only known artifact that might eventually be in the game, and whose stats are known.

GM weapon, spotted on early test servers around patch 1.2. Later datamined by the masses.

Comment by Carighan

I would be more interested in the looks of these, tbh. I suspect the two blades Illidan wields, OTOH that might be a bit dull as a look.

Although then again... Atiesh looks dull too, and still spiff because it is the Atiesh shown in WC3.

I've heard that this might be equivalent to the Eye of Rag dropping off of Rag. So, some super rare drop that you'll get off the next end game boss.

Hopefully it will look as cool as the stats suggest.

Comment by 7315

If they are going to add it as a player weapon they will adjust stats and damage on it, its way too powerful on a level 70 character. Not even 2 handers in BC reach that kind of DPS.

Comment by 7382

Aye I agree that they'd nerf the stats, I mean they would have to, that's just crazy DPS >_>

Comment by 7440

Definatly a GM weapon.
Anything with that much DPS would annihilate everyone.

Comment by 3471

Hmm, I think it would be kind of odd for any player to actually get this in the expansion. I'm sure people aren't going to actually kill him (not unlike Kel'Thuzad). So the only way to get these are if he leaves them behind, but seeing that these are Illidan's main weapons, and he holds on to them all the time, it seems unlikely.

Comment by 7517

I believe these weapons were simply added to the game for GMs to show off, I doubt they'd be added to the game, at least in their current form.

Comment by 7307

This is totaly fake item. No one see it....

Comment by 9110

The funny thing about this weapon is when you combine them they get smaller but when you break them apart they regain their normal size.

Comment by darkrebel08

I would like to see this in the game, but as being an artifact it would be smart if blizz makes it very rare to the point where only a few people per server will have them. Just my opinion.

Comment by 10427

If only...

The resistances would make locks shiver and shake, plus mages would have to do something other than jump and spam arcane explosion in pvp.

Comment by 18547

Not practical, if this weapon did ever exist in the expansion for lvl 70's after a gruling epic quest; it would instantly become PvP/PvE over ballance. You cant put it in the game without totaly ruining the ballance of the game, and blizzard ist going to reballance the entire game, for the cost of one godly weapon.

Comment by Xukimonde

I assume that we will not be seeing Aritfact items attainable by the community.

Legendary items, yes, but something that Blizzard has deemed as an artifact is unlikely to ever fall into the hands of the players, regardless of what it's stats are. Even if something like this were indeed implemented, it would likely be "downgraded" to legendary status.

There is no need for yet another ridiculous level of item rarity.

Comment by 21705

If you read the whole items stats you'll notice thats its a one handed sword so you can dual wield with it.

Comment by 8748

This sword looks AWESOME! i wish i could port myself to lvl 70 and kill Illidan and use it...but i doubt blizz would ever let drop until Illidan dies for the 100th time its gonna be like the rarest drop ever dont even think that u'll get it. id just forget about getting it but just examining it. if it ever does drop tho...then everyone else who doesnt have it...... beware

Comment by Gaghiel

Should be fist weapons, imo. Don't exclude shaman!

Comment by 15389

you guys are kidding if people had this ingame and only a few people had them what would be the point in continuing the game at all, its so amazing amd i do hope it isnt ingame, think of what it would cause on pvp realms

Comment by 18009

MY theory on this weapon:
I'm just guessing here but ill bet that this drops either from Illidan himself during battle, bodyguards/adds that he spawns, or other bosses in Black Temple to use against Illidan and make him possibly beatable... you'll either want to give this to your MT so he maintains aggro easily or to a sword rogue.... but he'll need to hold back quite a bit or he'll pull aggro and be pwnd instantly. none of this is confirmed but i thought about this sword: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22736 from pre-BC and when i saw it in the weapons list on thottbot i had the same reaction as when i saw this one... my jaw dropped to the desk!

Comment by 18009

Thats what i was trying to say... you can only use this baby in Black Temple against Illidan... if you read the In Development Section @ www.worldofwarcraft.com... it clearly states you will be able to kill Illidan.

Comment by 35591

This weapon surely a fake... For 1 simple fact, who can dual wield swords?... answer: warrior and rogue... I don't see them need +int for the start... If you guys still think that this sword meant to be hunter, is illidan a hunter? illidan is purely a melee class and dont use any bow or gun.. is he?
If someone wanna make a fake illidan sword... please at least consider it to be more realistic... :)
Dont ever think that this is a drop sword because it doesn't suit any class that blizzard ever make for this game... I haven't seen a GM wandering in the game using this game also and i dont know how they character played in the game... but the question is... what is the +int got to do with high dps melee class weapon...

Comment by 35245

How do u get these items ?? I dont understand ?? can someone please pst me in the game my name is cmedestroyu im a nightelf hunter i just hit 39 i am just curious so please pst me.

Comment by 36774

In my opinion the blades of azzinoth will PROBABLY drop from illidan but the stats will be reduced a lot

Comment by Unholysergeant

Quote from Blizzard:
"You won't so much as kill him, but you'll more just get in his way" Him being Illidan.
Why would some puny mortals be able to kill a powerful demi-demon with an even more powerful force on his side? Exactly.

On to the blades:
If Blizzard put these in, do you know how much complaining they will be receiving?
Just because they look awesome, and you have fantasies about them, doesn't mean we need them. I'll admit they are cool, but think what it would do! If you really want it make a private server.
The ONLY way I can see these being implemented, is for the Illidan battle in Black Temple, which Shinu, is coming out in a near future patch.

Comment by 8763

From patch 2.1 notes:

His dominion over Outland remained unchallenged until the arrival of Illidan the Betrayer. The pit lord proved no match for the wielder of the Twin Blades of Azzinoth. Today Illidan occupies the temple, awaiting any and all who would challenge his rule.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/test-realm-patchnotes.html

It's therefore possible that this item will be dropped by Illidan, or that he may unlock some sort of epic quest to obtain this item (or, an updated version thereof).

This is all speculation though.

A little update:
-Posted the 'real' picture.

Comment by 49153

They will drop from Illidan but different stats these are the gms stats

Comment by 54285

I think that this blade is down graded to around 83dps and only 50 resistances and it is main hand, stats reduced by about 50 and it doesn't go back into two blades. found this info somewhere on thottbot, but can't find it again.

Comment by 58959

Wow...... so anyone heard or seen someone with this dream blade?

Comment by 10272

Illidan does in fact die, as demonstrated by Nihilum. You don't kill him though.

Comment by radeox

Sold by: Julia Gallina on the GM island.

Comment by 64930

I think that this kind of item should come with new binding rule. Worldbound or Doombound: only one can be present on server at given time. When not equiped it will discard, when not used in a week it will discard. 10% chance to drop from player's corpse after world PvP death. After severall hours of play time it will discard(maybe week or so). Some NPC in major cities will hint you name of player possesing such beauty and his current whereabouts. So anyone willing to loot this thing is better to be prepared for a Raid party waiting around every corner. You want this?... You are not prepared :) This would allow Blizzard to create items with insane stats and insane responsibility. And also the stats should be boosted and item possesion complicated rather than making this a auction trade. This ruins the item status as something extremely rare.
Sorry for my english, I haven't used it in a while.

Tagged this item as 'Not available to players'.

haha thats outrageously overpowered i just wanna see somone using them

Comment by 25275

this wep doesnt look like one on the picture ( or maybe on privates it had different skin ).. anyway it looked like a "+" with its blades in flames attached to the arm....the weps in the movie are the ones which make this wep ( they combine )...as far for the guy with the t4 t5 set movies...hes just playing on his personal private server big deal, adding the items on him with /add command

Comment by Shada

I always thought that Blizzard intended Legendary-class items never to just "drop" for someone; that they would have a long (and typically very expensive) quest chain involved in getting them into useable state; compare Thunderfury, Sulfuras, Atiesh and no doubt the Ashbringer.

It just seems wrong that these drop, just like that. Then again, Black Temple isn't exactly easy...congrats to the lucky ones who get their glaives. I certainly don't envy them the constant whispers they must be getting, however!

Comment by Zezz

The set was first completed by the rogue Furi of Blood Legion.

Comment by 76382

Why does only rogues and warriors get to use. Can Hunters use The Twin Blades of Azzinoth? My main is a troll hunter and I really want to know because I dont want to lvl a warrior or rogue to 70 after i already got a high lvl hunter.

Comment by kelvin

blizzard have released one of the blades

hopefully the other one too :)

actually no,
i'll never get it and get owned by them x_x

Comment by 77198

Hey pplz they sell these weapons on my server it is possible to dual wield both the warglaives of azzinoth and twin blades. I am telling you this is true from a custom made place known aS SC(shopping centre) with custom teleporter. U all should believe me coz i don't lie with thingz like these. my friend has them. U'll have to find out ur selves wat the server is but the custom teleporter gave it away.......
:) good luk :D :P

Comment by 70388

I saw a GM wielding this.

Comment by 94489

This is the older version of the Twin Blades of Azzinoth (pre-BC), artifact. Only GMs could wield them. They can be separated for dual wielding.

Comment by 90415

The stats are not the same , but the name are. So it IS that item. just wit deffrent stats.

Comment by fred9

this is not as fast as i think a GM wepon should me this wepons that i'm posting is as fast as a GM wepon should be http://www.wowhead.com/?item=192

Comment by 67552

wow, ive never seen so much Stam and Int in my whole life. So much AGI, too. This blade goes to Warlocks, they can fend off warrs with the extra agi that way.

Comment by 81639

Dude, If I ever figure out a word of what you just wrote I will die happy.

However. This weapon does not "exist" like it is, am I right? If you're wielding the Twinblades of Azzinoth you get something like this... But with much lesser stats and resistance.

Comment by 83140

they will stop layers from wielding frostmourne most definantly, the fact is that the wearing of any piece of the lich's armor will corrupt you no matter what, even if its only his socks for a day.

Comment by 103121

To the players of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, in the story-line it says the following, for those who havent played, im sorry, you're not going to know what im ranting about.

But the Frozen Throne was punctured in an attempt by Illidan, thwarted by his brother Malfurion, loosening The Lich King's control over all of his servants, and weakening Arthas- since Arthas drew his power through Frostmourne, which was created by the Lich King.

Now alot of you have posted about the variable differences in Illidan & Arthas's strength when they fought together. Take into account the fact that Arthas was in a horribly weakened state, and still managed to beat Illidan.

Take into account as well, he is no longer under the control of the Lich King, but in an effort to save Ner'Zul, he dawned the helmet of the Lich King, and became bound together as one incredibly super-powered being, thus stabilizing Arthas's control over the Scourge forces- as well as exponentially raising his power and abilities.

I for one am excited. Arthas, is arguably the last boss in Warcraft history left to be defeated. No other being has come close to his power as of yet. Sargeras was defeated twice, if my memory serves me. (Once by Medivh's mother, as well as when he tried to invade Lordaeron and caused The Great Sundering before Illidan was locked away) Archimonde was destroyed in the battle of Mt. Hyjal. Kil'Jaedan is potentially a boss for World of Warcraft, but it's unlikely that his power will even rival that of Arthas's in this state, as he enlisted the Dreadlords to keep a watch on Ner'Zhul, and then eventually try and destroy him.

Illidan was fleeing from the wrath of Kil'Jaedan to Outland after he failed to kill The Lich King, so it's reasonable to assume that Kil'Jaedan is much stronger than Illidan. So theres two potential big boss enemies to go along with the lore of Warcraft in order to fill game content.

I personally am looking forward too the coming of Arthas upon the cities of Lordaeron, possibly the destruction of Ironforge or the siege of Stormwind like when Kazzak's lieutenant was roaming around raping cities and stuff like that when TBC was about to be released. I think that'd be fun as hell. Have players group up to defend their capital cities from sieges of undead.

WoW servers are down...so typing this killed a few hours of time, hopefully the servers are back up so I can get back to work! But I just wanted to bring attention to my perspective of the game so far and what ive seen.

Comment by 92388

If there is going to be an Expansion after "The Wrath of the Lich King" im sure this would rival 80-90 epic items.

If this item is going to eventually come out (which i think it wouldn't be because they already made something like this that drops off Illidan) it would be very high level and Deadly against demons (1400 attack power) thats like +600 damage a hit.

And people stop complaining about not having this item, Look at 70 high endgame epics their like half the power of this.

I think that this is the Prototype for...

Comment by 119472

the story behind rise of the lich king says that illidian wasw turned into a demon and was killed by arathas in northend. I'm thinking that this could lead to some type of quest from his spirit to retrieve the blades to be used to kill the lich king arathas

Comment by 119472

I seriously doubt that this could rival any 80+ epic items after lich king. Especially considering all our hopes that when you kill arathas he drops frostmourne, which as we all know was used to kill illidian.

Comment by 57456

I'm not sure if these are the exzact stats for the sword, but it is inhumane how powerful it is. If you get your hands on this, you win.

Comment by Baelof

This item will an may never be availiable to players. This is a GM item only and the twin blades of Azzinoth have been realesed and changed. Illidan is no longer the most powerful scripted boss in the game, Kil'jaeden in patch 2.4 will be. And Arthas will be the final encounter in the Wrath of the Lich King Expansion pack. People drooling over this weapon need to realize that they cannot get this weapon.

Comment by 131851

It`s for gnomes ;) , but seriously, it`s pretty silly just to think that such kinda weapon would be in game.... Thinking about all this stuff makes me wonder, what blizzard will do after that, when Lich King will be farmed like Illidan? With such weapons , epics now seems so boring...

Comment by Vlad

It is possible to link those in-game by first linking the spell that crafts the weapons, do like this:

Copy paste the spell link from The Forming (go to the page, click "Get Link") into the game and link it/open the spell.
Go to this spell and do the same with it as in step 1: The Breaking.
Once done, you can link both Warglaive of Azzinoth (Right), Warglaive of Azzinoth (Left) and the The Twin Blades of Azzinoth.

Just go in each page, copy link, paste in the chat, open/preferably post it in a whisper to yourself to confirm it with the server, link items! ;)

It does have varying results, works for some, for some it won't, sorry!

Edit: I figure it will be nice of me to provide you with a one-time-script you can paste in the chat, this will make the game link the spells and items, enjoy:
/run for i=22990,22989,-1 do print(GetSpellLink(i),"")end for i=18582,18584 do print(select(2,GetItemInfo(i))or"Loading, try again...","")end

Blizzard doesn't seem to be to nice to their gms.... I would expect this thing to be bigger than Thunderfury wouldn't you? It seems like a cute little toy lol

Comment by Clorg

Haha, he ahs his own set of weapons that he drops. They are epics, not artifacts. Besides, artifacts are rarely ever allowed in-game. Sorry this did not get posted to the reply ... *sigh*

Comment by inusnoozer

gms have lots of insane gears
these swords can be altered by gms as any weapon and gear as well to have crazy stats
you cant get this weapon at only if you are a gm
i dont think this weapon will be allowed for gamers unless it is altered some for em then it might be a legend type or epic but thats my opinion so you dont have to believe me or anything

Comment by 152566

o ya use this plus one of the warglaives you would be 1337 to bad u cant use 2 of them OMG SUPER STATS

Comment by 191223

sooo how come the twin blades put together make a 1 handes wepon? does that mean if u got 2 you could dual weild the twin glaives of azzinoth? and it doesnt say any class restriction on the twin glaives just on the regular war glaivs plz reply to what i have asked thx ..

Comment by Kenaro

Although the damage and agility are sick for a one-handed weapon, this is kinda a bumrap for rogues. Trade in two awesome blades for a bunch of int? Ick.

However, I could see this rivaling Thunderfury as a pally tanking weapon. Crazy int well help with seal and consecration mana costs a little bit. We all know Thunderfury deals a crap ton of threat, but paladins can always use that extra bit of mana for extra casts to hold that threat. Can only imagine the crazy damage resulting from reckoning procs laid on top of that melee haste bonus.

Comment by Jenrama

Sargeras was not defeated, his AVATAR was, a Puppet so to speak, by Aegwynn, and it is also explained he wanted her to defeat his avatar in combat so that a part of his soul would enter her body and lie dorment waiting for her to bare a child, Medivh, which led to his corruption. Sargeras was not defeated through combat with the loss of the Well of Eternity which caused the Great Sundering, the portal was closed and he wasn't able to step through before it was sealed shut and caused the Sundering, the most thats ever been done to Sargeras is he's been.. "Scratched" or "Knicked" on his leg by a enchanted wooden axe crafted by Cenarius in the hands of Broxigar the Red, this was after Brox slew hundreds of demons holding them off long enough for Rhonin, Illidan, and Malfurion to close the portal, even after that Sargeras easily killed Brox.

If you want to see the last fight of all fights in the World of Warcraft, think of the power Sargeras weilds, a fallen Titan may be but he still weilds the powers of creation, and if you read up about him it will say while he was still good and on side with the Titans, he was still the strongest of them all, basically their forward commander for their goal of shaping a sancuary type universe.

Comment by 153022

I went on a private server that allowed you to use these items, and interestingly you could duel wield The Twin Blades of Azzinoth in one hand, and one of the glaives (Warglaive of Azzinoth (Right) or Warglaive of Azzinoth (left)) in the other hand. However, even if these items were available ingame, the chances of picking up one of The Twin Blades of Azzinoth would be next to nothing, and getting two of them would, well, be probably impossible.

Still, I don't know why these items are in game to be honest - i've been a GM on a private server, and whenever I needed to kill something I just used a special command. Im not going to wait about 5 mins to kill Kil'jaeden when i can do it instantly.

Comment by 235609

son una mini copia de las espadas de illidan a la cual solo las portan los gm no hay boss que suelte esas espadas

Translation:
"They're a mini version of the Illidan's Glaives, of which only GM can wear. There's no boss that drop them

Comment by 298404

Is this thing real? If so where the hell you get it? Like how do you form the 2 together to make that?

Comment by 179552

Comment by Elfhippie

They really should make the legendary glaives off Illidian combine like this one

Comment by azshari

i dont know why the ppl said GMs weapon

did the GMs need weapons in the game ?

they target you and write "/kill" and you will be killed and see you're self in graveyard

GMs no need weapons m8

this weapon for Azzinoth Doomguard before Illidan take them

and blizzard said not available to players do u know why ?

cuz illidan killed azzinoth and take the weapon , and the weapon take green color from illidan

and player can not kill azzinoth to loot him , the weapon only with illidan and u only can loot illidan

azzinoth killed by illidan long time ago

and only illidan drop this weapon

and if u find azzinoth u only can skinning him
