Gold and Silver

Today I am showcasing 2 sets from Eddara of Wyrmrest Accord.  These are mail and plate centric sets that keep nicely to a theme.

Golden Mail

Chest:

Battleforge Armor, BOE World Drop

Shirt:

Red Linen Shirt: BOE. Tailoring

Gloves:

Glimmering Mail Gauntlets: BOE World Drop

Waist:

Swiftgear Belt: Quest Reward, Wetlands

Legs:

Glimmering Mail Legguards: BOE World Drop

Feet:

Sparkleshell Sabatons: BOE World Drop

Cloak:

Battleforge Cloak: BOE World Drop

Right Hand

Reconstructed Sword: Quest Reward, Wetlands

Left Hand:

Battleforge Shield: BOE World Drop

This very attractive set set makes heavy use of the BOE Battleforge and Glimmering Mail sets, these drop in the mid to late 20s (I have seen the battleforge set drop moderately frequently in runs of Gnomeregan).  Both of these sets are quite nice looking, but depending on the vagaries of differing server's economies may be somewhat tricky to obtain via the auction house.

My personal variant of this set that I have been working on for a while and  is more Ironforge Centric ;) and swaps out the Battleforge Shield for the Royal Treasury Courier's Shield, an Ironforge Tabard, Battleforge Shoulderguards, Glimmering Mail Greaves and a Fel Iron Hatchet

Silver Knight's Colors

Shoulder:

Crusader's Pauldrons: BOE World Drop

Chest:

Overlord's Chestplate: BOE World Drop

Shirt:

Gloves:

Overlord's Gauntlets: BOE World Drop

Waist:

Overlord's Girdle: BOE World Drop

Legs:

Overlord's Legplates: BOE World Drop

Feet:

Overlord's Greaves: BOE World Drop

Cloak:

Archivist Cape: BOP Drop, Instructor Galford, Stratholme

Tabard:

Left Hand:

Highlord's Favor: Quest Reward: Western Plaguelands

Right Hand:

Goblin Nutcracker: BOE World Drop

Here is an alternate Shoulder style utilizing Blackforge Pauldrons, BOE World Drop

So You Want to be a Necromancer...

Today's set is contributed by Emmberr of Wyrmrest Accord. This is a fetching Necromanceresque  set (could easily be used for cultist RP as well) that in its original incarnation is a Death Knight only variation as it makes use of the excellent looking Acherus Knight's Hood (we need more awesome looking cowl type hats Blizzard!).  However, other items can be swapped in that keep with the original look and feel of the costume.

Head

Acherus Knight's Hood: Plate, part of the starting gear for Death Knights

Shoulder
Stoneform Shoulders: Plate, Drop from Kirtonos the Herald in Scholomance

Chest
Robes of Arugal:  Cloth, Drop from Baron Ashbury in Shadowfang Keep regular
Necropile Robes Cloth, (Sleeveless) Boss Drop Scholomance

Shirt:
Stylish Black Shirt: Purchaseable

Gloves:
Netherweave Gloves:  Cloth, Tailoring BOE
Silver-Thread Gloves: Cloth, level 23 random world drop

Shoes:
Black Mageweave Boots: Tailoring BOE

An alternate cloth-wearing-class friendly set in keeping with the spirit of the original

Head:
Nightsky Cowl: Cloth, BOE World Drop

Shoulders:
Black Mageweave Shoulders:  Cloth, Tailoring BOE

Chest (For a slightly different look):
Black velvet Robe: BOE World Drop
Silver-Thread Robe: (sleeveless) BOE World Drop

Belt:
Silver-Thread Sash: BOE World Drop.

The gloves, shirt, and boots are kept the same as the orignal set.

There are a variety of weapons and offhand combinations that work with this costume idea, from scythe style weapons such as the War Scythe or the Frostscythe of Lord Ahune to the more subtle combinations of a dagger (bonus points if one of the enchants with the dripping blood effect is applied ;) ) and a tome for the off hand.  It's a fun set for those of darker intent...

Outlands Set 3, Behold the Imperial Majesty Of Purple!

No not epics, but the beautiful hues of a dark purple set that thematically matches that of the last two entries.   There are also lots of mixing and matching that can be done with this theme with various other items which is neccessary as this is also a somewhat incomplete set lacking exact matches for the gloves, shoulder and shoe slots. The complete set is represented in game in several incarnations, namely the sneaky Blood Elf Bandit who wanders around Azuremyst Isle, but is unavailable to players as a complete set (and what I would do for a purple and gold version of the Blood Elf Bandit Mask! ).

Fully Matching Items

Chest:
Raging Spirit Harness: Quest Reward, Hellfire Peninisula
Imbued Netherweave Tunic: Tailoring, BOE


Bracers
Blackstrike Bracers: Tailoring, BOE (might be rather rare depending on your server)


Legs
Retainer's Leggings, Scryers Reputation Reward, Revered.
Imbued Netherweave Pants: Tailoring, BOE




Semi-sets that Complement this set nicely.


The Leatherworking Wild Draenish Boots and Gloves (BOE) are a decent addition to the set

Another nice complementary set is the Tailoring crafted Fireweave, Gloves, Boots, and Belt (boe)

Another nice Belt option is the Gossamer Belt, a low level 40s BOE world drop

The next post will highlight several user suggested outfits.

Outland Set the Second

This set is similar to the last one posted, but is the red version.  Sadly this set is significantly harder to attain, with the chest, gloves and pants for the primary variant requiring access to a tailor and a leatherworker.   It is however a visually striking set and in my opinion, well worth the trouble to obtain.

Shoulder
Bonechewer Shoulderguards: Random Drop BOE, Leather

Chest
Flameheart Vest: Tailoring BOE, Cloth
Primalstorm Breastplate: Leatherworking BOP, Leather

Bracers
Flameheart Bracers : Tailoring BOE Cloth
Bracers of Havok: Tailoring BOE, Cloth
Illidari Bracers: BOE Drop, Ambassador Jerrikar, SMV Rare Mob, BOE Leather

Gloves
Fel Leather Gloves: Leather Working, BOE Leather

Pants
Fel Leather Leggings: Leatherworking BOE, Leather

Feet
Fel leather Boots: Leather Working: BOE
The Master's Treads: BOE World Drop


An alternate look is to use Blacksting Gloves, a quest reward from Zangarmarsh (thanks to Kamaliaetalia for pointing out that these were not only Alliance side rewards!) .
