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.
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:

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:

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).
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
Chest – 13,500 Honor Points and 30 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
The sets are as follows (all sets are prefixed by “Grand Marshal’s”/”High Warlord’s”):

Currently, the Arena Sets are simply upgraded versions of the GM/HW Sets – even keeping the exact same set bonuses and set names. I would like to point out the notable exception of the Warlock, which has 1 GM/HW Set but has 2 Arena Sets – I don’t know why.
Costs are as follows:
Head – 1,875 Arena Points
Shoulder – 1,500 Arena Points
Chest – 1,875 Arena Points
Hands – 1,125 Arena Points
Legs – 1,875 Arena Points
The sets are as follows (all sets prefixed by “Gladiator’s”):
