Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve
Last wiki revision 2023-10-02
Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve, is a cloak crafted by Wrathion. As part of end-game progression, it can be upgraded 14 times by completing a time-gated quest chain involving completing objectives in Horrific Visions. Each new rank will provide better stats and better protection against sanity loss. New appearances are unlocked at rank five and twelve.
The cloak is the total summation of Wration's years of research into the void and nullifying the corrupting properties of the Old Gods, especially in regards to how Neltharion was corrupted. The power of the cloak came from adventurers venturing into Horrific Visions and exposing the item to the increasingly corrupting levels held within the visions.
The item is a quest reward from Beginning the Descent.
Wrathion will offer quests asking players to enter Horrific Visions. As a reward for completing his quests, Wrathion will offer upgrade items for the cloak. This involves a time-gated quest chain. The first quests up to Stepping Through the Darkness were offered week one, then an additional quest was offered each week after that.
As the cloak increases in rank, in addition to the straight stat and item level bonuses, the cloak also picks up some bonus effects:
- Rank 6: Updated appearance and new on-use effect:
- Rank 12: Updated appearance and new equip effect:
- It was named Experimental Blacktalon Shroud during early PTR.
- The word "Ashjrakamas" has also been present in the game since vanilla as one of the random words in Draconic, Eredun (Demonic), and later Draenei in-game translators.
