Silver Sword of the Astral Plane

Silver Sword of the Astral Plane is a legendary greatsword that grants its wielder the Soulbreaker weapon action and provides special bonuses when wielded by a githyanki.

The fervour with which the githyanki express devotion to their queen is admirable to some, disquieting to others. When confronted with the fallibility of the divine (since no one is wholly perfect), who knows what reactions such folk might evince.

* Rewarded for showing the Orphic Hammer to (or killing) Kith'rak Voss in Act Three.
As of Hotfix #10 of Patch #4 , this sword can alternatively be obtained in Act One by disarming Voss via Command (Drop), Heat Metal, Disarming Attack (Ranged), or Disarming Attack (Melee) during the githyanki patrol encounter before entering the Mountain Pass X: -139 Y: 561.
- Voss must be disarmed before beginning combat, as he immediately flies away when any hostile action is taken.
- Due to his high stats and Supreme Githyanki Parry, the chance of failing the disarm attempt against him is very high, so this method may require multiple reloads.
- Sometimes Voss will only drop a Githyanki Crossbow. The triggers for this are not known.

The githyanki-exclusive bonuses can also be enabled by being disguised as one. However, you must be disguised before equipping the weapon for this to work.
