Burning Crusade Armor Sets

January 3rd, 2007 Posted in Video Games |

Here is a comprehensive list of what Tier Armor sets to expect when World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade ships in a few short weeks.

First off, there are 3 End-Game PvE Armor sets, 1 End-Game PvP Armor set, and 1 End-Game Arena Armor set planned.

I’m just going to go ahead and number these as I see fit (i.e. Tier XX), if a more official numbering convention comes out, I’ll edit my post.

PVE SETS

All current PvE Sets planned for TBC are 5-piece sets!!!
Head
Shoulder
Chest
Hands
Legs

All current PvE Sets planned for TBC have 2-piece and 4-piece set bonuses, that is all.

  • Dungeon Set 3 (a.k.a. Tier 3.5)
    This set is a BLUE set with an item level of 115. The pieces of this set drop off of DUNGEON bosses in the upper level instances (e.g. Tempest Keep, Coilfang Res, etc). This set is most similar to the Tier 0 set in game now, with a few small differences.

    There are 13 (you heard me) Tier 3.5 sets. None of these sets are class specific, however 9 of the sets have set bonuses related to a certain class, so each class has “their” set, which would normally go to them. Additionally, there is a completely non-class specific set for each armor type (plate, mail, leather, and cloth) to make the additional 4 sets - each of these 4 sets have similar set bonuses (hit rating and attack power/spell damage).

    There aren’t “different” sets based on spec for the Dungeon sets, though I assume it’s because they are also “not class specific.”

    (I’m going to make links to all the sets that I can, but if I’m not supposed to - you Blue peeps can edit them out for me, or just make a post requesting I do so, and I will.)

    The sets follow below:

  • Moonglade Raiment - The “Druid” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=637
  • Beast Lord Armor - The “Hunter” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=650
  • Incanter’s Regalia - The “Mage” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=647
  • Righteous Armor - The “Paladin” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=623
  • Hallowed Raiment - The “Priest” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=662
  • Assassination Armor - The “Rogue” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=620
  • Tidefury Raiment - The “Shaman” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=630
  • Oblivion Raiment - The “Warlock” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=644
  • Bold Armor - The “Warrior” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=653
  • Doomplate Battlegear - The “Plate” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=661
  • Desolation Battlegear - The “Mail” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=660
  • Wastewalker Armor - The “Leather” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=659
  • Mana-Etched Regalia - The “Cloth” Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=658
  • Raid Set 4 (a.k.a. Tier 4)
    This set is a PURPLE set with an item level of 105. The quest item turn ins to obtain pieces of this set drop off of RAID bosses in the upper level instances (e.g. Karazhan, Gruul’s Lair, etc). So far, these raid encounters are ONYXIA style raid encounters and small group raid encounters (i.e. 10-man Karazhan). This set is most similar to the Tier 2.5 set in game now, with a few small differences.

    There are “9″ Tier 4 sets, all of which are class specific because they are obtained via item turn in. I put the number of sets in quotes because there are different sets based literally on spec for certain classes. A very small number of set bonuses relate to abilities gained through talent points, so again, these sets are essentially spec specific. The quests are currently repeatable, so you can collect each set for your class - or you can collect multiple sets for different purposes (such as resists).

    Currently, the sets are obtained through item turn ins as follows:
    Items of the Fallen Champion - Used to purchase Paladin, Rogue, and Shaman pieces
    Items of the Fallen Defender - Used to purchase Druid, Priest, and Warrior pieces
    Items of the Fallen Hero - Used to purchase Hunter, Mage, and Warlock pieces

    The sets follow below:

  • Malorne Regalia - The Druid Balance Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=639
  • Malorne Harness - The Druid Feral Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=640
  • Malorne Raiment - The Druid Restoration Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=638
  • Demon Stalker Armor - The Hunter Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=651
  • Aldor Regalia - The Mage Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=648
  • Justicar Raiment - The Paladin Holy Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=624
  • Justicar Armor - The Paladin Protection Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=625
  • Justicar Battlegear - The Paladin Retribution Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=626
  • Incarnate Raiment - The Priest Holy Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=663
  • Incarnate Regalia - The Priest DPS Set (Smite or Shadow builds)
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=664
  • Netherblade - The Rogue Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=621
  • Cyclone Regalia - The Shaman Elemental Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=632
  • Cyclone Harness - The Shaman Enhancement Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=633
  • Cyclone Raiment - The Shaman Restoration Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=631
  • Voidheart Raiment - The Warlock Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=645
  • Warbringer Battlegear - The Warrior DPS Set (Fury or Arms builds)
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=655
  • Warbringer Armor - The Warrior Protection Set
    http://www.thottbot.com/beta?set=654
  • Raid Set 5 (a.k.a. Tier 5)
    This set is a PURPLE set with an item level of 120. This set is very similar to the Tier 4 set in terms of availability and obtaining pieces.

    The quest item turn ins to obtain pieces of this set drop off of RAID bosses in the highest level instances (???, possibly Black Temple). This set is most similar to the Tier 2.5 set in game now, with a few small differences.

    There are “9″ Tier 5 sets, all of which are class specific because they are obtained via item turn in. I put the number of sets in quotes because there are different sets for certain classes. I currently don’t know if any of the set bonuses on Tier 5 effect abilities gained via talents, but I would imagine they do. The quests are currently repeatable, so you can collect each set for your class - or you can collect multiple sets for different purposes (such as resists).

    Currently, the sets are obtained through item turn ins as follows:
    Items of the Vanquished Champion - Used to purchase Paladin, Rogue, and Shaman pieces
    Items of the Vanquished Defender - Used to purchase Druid, Priest, and Warrior pieces
    Items of the Vanquished Hero - Used to purchase Hunter, Mage, and Warlock pieces

  • PVP SETS

    All current PvP Sets planned for TBC are 5-piece sets!!!
    Head
    Shoulder
    Chest
    Hands
    Legs

    All current PvP Sets planned for TBC have 2-piece and 4-piece set bonuses, that is all.

    Edit - It’s gonna be a while for the PvP sets to be completely updated, considering for example - Investiture is simply an upgraded version of Raiment for the Champion gear for Priests…..not different sets (i.e. there is no Priest “healing” set at the Champion level).

    So, different set names may not be based on spec as far as PvP goes - but based on “upgrades”…..except for Wildhide and Thunderfist - definitely Druid Balance and Shaman Elemental sets (even have different set bonuses).

  • Grand Marshal / High Warlord Set
    This set is obtained by spending Honor Points, gained through Battlegrounds or World PvP, and Marks of Honor, gained through Battlegrounds. There are 1-3 sets per class that can be obtained.

    Costs are as follows:
    Head – 13,125 Honor Points and 30 Alterac Valley Marks of Honor
    Shoulder – 8,250 Honor Points and 20 Arathi Basin Marks of Honor

    Hands – 8,250 Honor Points and 20 Alterac Valley Marks of Honor
    Legs – 13,125 Honor Points and 30 Warsong Gulch Marks of Honor
    No piece at current costs Marks from Eye of the Storm
