A reference to the character "Proximo" in Gladiator (film)

Although, Proximo from said film may have been an actual historical person that they just cast in the movie. Im not sure.

Oliver Reed played the character

Comment by Magmy

It's actually a reference to a developer's character. As also shown on the Gladiator's Greatsword.

Just to say for a little background of what I know..........Proximo was umungst the first 10 to fight in the Roman Games back in BC times, he was the 1 of the 3 left standing at the end of the Match and his sword he used somewhat look's exacttly like this one and for a grey has some awsome Speed.

Notable for being one of the few grey items that is sold by a vendor. The rest are chestpieces and leggings (the ones that certain classes start the game in) that are sold in Caverns of Time.

required for one of the steps to obtain Waist of Time

Comment by Mzbehavin

to buy this sword you can either get from the AH for a few thousand gold to 20k or more, or buy from the vendor in Nagrand at Halaa, bear in mind you need to have control of HALAA to buy the sword from the vendor...good luck oh and remember to flag yourself for pvp or you cant capture the town..

Comment by datundra

Lesson learned the hard way, this is considered "JUNK" and will be sold if you have autosell addon turned on... SO, if you are working on the Waist Of Time.... Do Not Open A Merchant, or be sure to buy it back if it was sold.

Comment by Shardsy

And ofc it belonged to the wrong faction. :-(

If you need to get this for the Waist of Time...

(just an fyi, you can potentially buy this in your auction house if someone else has taken the trouble to get it and put it in your AH)

First your faction needs to own Hala, if it does it's a no brainer you just buy it from the vendor.

If your faction doesn't own Hala (you should see which faction owns it at the top of the screen when in Nagrand (outland)) then you're going to have to get it.

To own Halaal:
- you need to enable pvp (not sure if wm on will cut it).
- you need to kill all the guards. At 120 you can simply 1-shot them (thank god you don't need to bomb them because it takes forever).
- Once you've killed all the guards you need to be in Halaal (not flying, on the ground). Then you'll see a slider object on your screen that will slowly move to your factions side (you won't see this slider if you are in stealth, so you can't be in stealth). Once it gets all the way to the end the vendor you need will show up.

All during this time there will be zone wide announcements that Hala is being attacked, so be aware that you may have to do some pvp.

Comment by Scurrburr

If not obvious - this is now trivial to get if you have an alt on the opposite faction, regardless of who is in control of Haala. Can just send it the toon you are going for the waist of time on.
