Okay, recently, I found out a new problem. Death Knights don't start with Runeblades and aren't able to gain one unless they get it tokened! This is a pretty major problem ICly because a Death Knights Runeblade is part of their life and the object which lets them channel their powers. If we don't have one, what do they do? Whack people with a normal sword? Madness!
o create a Death Knight, you need to have a level 55+ character. This is only possible if you have an approved character. Most people opt to be granted level 80 by the GMs at this point, where you receive 10 tokens and 2000g by the "Welcome Quest". I simply bought a blade from the AH. You COULD token a cooler one if you want, but you'd probably want to do it again later on for an even cooler-looking blade. So...yeah...
Meh, you could get a random sword from the AH / other sources and RP it as being a rune blade XD
