Red Versus Blue!

Today's installment deals with several sets of attractive looking leather armor easily attainable either through questing in the level 20-50 range or through lucky Auction House shopping.  These sets are not new to Cataclysm, what is new, is that Blizzard has used these models and textures for a host of new quest rewards that were implemented in Cataclysm. Keep in mind, there are often other items in the game with some of these models and textures. My lists are by no means exhaustive, indeed I am trying to list those items most easily attainable.

  1. How handy! I've been trying to compile the red set since it's kinda impossible to find Swashbuckler pieces on my server. Thanks!
