The first of Three Distinctive Outfits from the Great Beyond

First off, an apology to my readers for a long lack of updates.  Real Life, new (well recycled) game content, and other factors have served to distract.

Today's post brings us to Outland.  A place that to many of us arguably brings to mind OP Boars that owned many of us during our first forrays into Hellfire Peninsula, endless Kara runs, and suits of outlandishly mismatched of armor that easily classified as clown suits.  However, buried amidst the crafted, reputation obtained, rare mob drops, and quest reward gear of the ruins of Draenor are some delightfully beautiful clothes.  The sets presented here appear to belong to the Blood Elven school of aesthetics, though, to me are not quite as brightly colored as some Blood Elven clothing ;)

One of my goals here is to promote easily obtainable set for the casual, average player to obtain in which to look good with.  The three sets that will make up this cycle of posts are a partial exception to that rule.  Most of these items are quest rewards many aqcuired early in Outlands questing chains and for most level capped characters may not be obtainable.  Some of the following sets will also include some crafted gear that is BOE or just plain bloody rare.  However, I think these sets are just too pretty to not expose to a greater audience.

The first complete set is mostly a leather set that is easily obtained by Alliance characters starting their Outland experience, but takes a little more work for Horde characters to obtain (but not impossible).

An alternate look is to use a one of the many hand length black gloves (cloth and leather mostly) and to keep the bracers exposed. For this particular screen I used Royal Gloves a level 39 BOE Green drop.
