Jaithys, the Prison Blade

Last wiki revision 2023-07-01

Jaithys, the Prison Blade drops from Kel'Thuzad, the penultimate boss encounter at the Throne of the Damned in the Sanctum of Domination. The sword has a unique on-use effect: it consumes other weapons, trading its secondary stats of crit and haste for an increasingly powerful on-equip proc, permanently destroying the consumed weapons in the process!

As players feed weapons to Jaithys (or "Render Tribute" as the cast bar describes it), the secondary stats (crit/haste) are reduced, and the on-equip effect (Harsh Tutelage) is increased:

  • 1) 48 crit, 89 haste, no equip effect (baseline)
  • 2) 39 crit, 79 haste Equip: When attacking an enemy, Jaithys has a low chance to guide your blade towards a weak spot, dealing 2,743 additional Physical damage. (1 PPM)
  • 3) 29 crit, 59 haste Equip: When attacking an enemy, Jaithys has a chance to guide your blade towards a weak spot, dealing 3,457 additional Physical damage. (1.5 PPM)
  • 4) 19 crit, 39 haste Equip: When attacking an enemy, Jaithys has a chance to guide your blade towards a weak spot, dealing 3,457 additional Physical damage and granting you 200 Strength for 3 sec. (1.5 PPM)
  • 5) 10 crit, 20 haste Equip: When attacking an enemy, Jaithys has a chance to guide your blade towards a weak spot, dealing 3,457 additional Physical damage and granting you 400 Strength for 3 sec. (1.5 PPM)
  • 6) 0 crit, 0 haste Equip: When attacking an enemy, Jaithys has a high chance to guide your blade towards a weak spot, dealing 3,457 additional Physical damage and granting you 400 Strength for 3 sec. (2PPM)

Feeding a weapon to the Prison Blade also creates one of the following trash items:

  • Elethium Chips
  • Iredeemable Trash
  • Orboreal Carvings
  • Shadowsteel Shavings

Jaithys whispers to its wielder at random points while in combat, on rare occasions when killing an enemy, and whenever it consumes a weapon.
