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!
Consumption effect
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:
- 48 crit, 89 haste, no equip effect (baseline)
- 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) - 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) - 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) - 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) - 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:
