Coming in patch 12.0.5, you can choose whether you sheath 1H weapons on your back or hip. I'd never shade the ability to add more transmog options #therealendgame but I'm just gonna say stock up on bacitracin and gauze before Mages try to figure out where the pointy end goes. https://blizzardwatch.com/2026/04/03/sheath-one-handed-weapons-back-midnights-patch-12-0-5/
Sheath your one-handed weapons on your back in Midnight's patch 12.0.5

If you've ever wanted to strap your one-handed sword to your World of Warcraft character's back, then great news -- a new dropdown menu in the transmog interface coming in Midnight's patch 12.0.5 will allow us to do just that (and more!) Ever since I acquired my Quickening Blade

@BlizzardWatch Mages have enough experience with rogues to know that the pointy end goes in your enemy’s back. 🗡️ 🫥
