The Scythe of the Unmaker is one of those weapons every WoW player remembers from Legion. Originally dropped by Argus in Antorus, it quickly became a fan-favorite because of its massive, dark silhouette and cosmic vibe. In Legion Remix, Blizzard brought it back in style, not only can you grab the original blue and red versions, but there’s now a brand-new green recolor, the Felscorned Scythe of the Unmaker.

Here’s a clear breakdown of how to get the Scythe of the Unmaker in Legion Remix, what each version costs, and the fastest way to farm everything you’ll need.

Where to Get the Scythe of the Unmaker

During Legion Remix, you’ll want to visit Pythagorus, a vendor in the Infinite Bazaar (Dalaran, 71, 42). He sells the scythe in both polearm and staff versions, which means more classes can finally use it for transmog.

Vendor cost:

  • 30,000 Bronze
  • 20x Cosmic Soulsliver

Farming Cosmic Soulslivers

Soulslivers are the real gate here. They drop from Argus the Unmaker in Antorus, and the number you get depends on raid difficulty:

  • Normal: 1 per kill
  • Heroic: 4 per kill
  • Mythic: 10 per kill

If you only run Normal, it’ll take a while. Heroic and Mythic are much faster, and if you’ve got alts, you can multiply your gains.

Scythe of the Unmaker Appearances

There are three main versions you can collect in Legion Remix:

VariantHow to UnlockExtra Notes
Blue (Original)Buy from Pythagorus for 30k Bronze + 20 SoulsliversAvailable as staff & polearm
Red (Mythic)Same as above, also 30k Bronze + 20 SoulsliversMythic-styled look
Green (Felscorned)Achievement: Mythic: Antorus, the Burning Throne (defeat all bosses on Mythic)Only raid unlock, can’t be bought

Best Way to Farm the Scythe of the Unmaker

Getting the Scythe of the Unmaker in Legion Remix requires managing your time across raids, alts, and Bronze farming. Here’s a practical breakdown of the most efficient way to secure it.

1. Prioritize Heroic or Mythic Antorus
Normal difficulty only gives 1 Cosmic Soulsliver per Argus kill, which is painfully slow if you’re aiming for 20. Heroic gives 4, and Mythic gives 10, so even a single Mythic clear cuts the grind massively. If your group can handle Mythic, do that every week. If not, Heroic is the next best thing.

2. Use Multiple Characters
Soulslivers are per character per week. That means if you’ve got alts with Phase Diving unlocked, you can farm Argus on each one for extra Soulslivers. Even if they’re undergeared, Antorus on Normal is still clearable, so it’s worth doing.

3. Farm Bronze Alongside
Don’t forget you’ll also need 30,000 Bronze for each scythe variant. Luckily, Bronze farming stacks naturally while you’re running raids and Remix content. The most efficient Bronze sources are:

  • Daily / Weekly Quests from the Infinite Bazaar.
  • Dungeon spam (shorter clears = faster Bronze).
  • Legion raid bosses you’ll be farming Antorus anyway, so you’ll collect Bronze along the way.
  • World content like rares and events.

Tip: Always run your Bronze farm in parallel with Soulsliver farming, that way, by the time you have 20 Soulslivers, you’ll likely also have the 30k Bronze.

4. Vendor Purchase Timing
Once you’ve got the Bronze and Soulslivers, head to Pythagorus in the Infinite Bazaar. Both the blue and red versions are sold here, available as either staff or polearm. Buy the one you want, or both, if you’ve farmed enough.

5. For the Green Variant (Felscorned Scythe)
The green recolor cannot be bought. To unlock it, you’ll need the achievement Mythic: Antorus, the Burning Throne, which requires clearing the entire raid on Mythic. This means full raid progression, not just killing Argus.

  • If your guild is up for it, you can clear it in a night.
  • If not, use Group Finder — Mythic Antorus carries are common during Remix since everyone wants the recolors.

Don’t forget: the Felscorned version is pure prestige. Once unlocked, it’s yours forever.

Final Thoughts

Blizzard didn’t just re-release it, they gave us recolors, a staff option, and a real reason to dive back into Antorus.
If you’ve been hunting for a transmog that stands out, this one’s worth every Bronze coin. Don’t wait until the last week of Remix. Farm Soulslivers steadily, line up your Bronze, and go after the green Felscorned version if you want the true prestige look.
A little grind now, and you’ll have one of the game’s most striking weapons for expansion. Good luck farming it, may Argus drop your Soulslivers quickly.

Not everyone has the time (or patience) to farm 30k Bronze and clear Antorus on multiple difficulties week after week. If you’d rather skip the grind, you can grab a WoW Legion Remix Scythe of the Unmaker Boost. Pro players will handle the farming, get your Soulslivers, clear Antorus, and secure the weapon for you, so all you have to do is log in and enjoy your new scythe.
