This week I stopped by one of my old servers, Moon Guard, and I saw some players walking around RPing in PVP gear.
You Looking at Me?
For example, this player, who logged off before I could talk to him, actually inspired this article… he is wearing all Field Marshal gear from level 60 along with Ursol’s Claw staff.
So I went on the hunt for players who use PVP gear in their RP outfit, a very good choice considering the cool sets you can choose from… but also because it shows your toon’s history or bragging rights.
The first player I am featuring is Redrik of Doomhammer.
Relaxing While Being Deadly
He is wearing several pieces of Wrathful Gladiator set along with Titan-Forged Spaulders of Triumph. He wears this outfit just walking around town on a PVE server.
On Moon Guard, I also found Darissena.
Looking Deadly in Stormwind
She combined a newer Bloodthirsty Gladiator’s Kodohide Robes with Ebony Flame Gloves from Blackwing Lair, Bloodthirsty Gladiator’s Wyrmhide Spaulders, and Vishas’ Hood from Scarlet Monastery. She feels that using PVP gear gives her a battle-hardened look fit for her RP story.
I still had some PVP pieces in my bank as well. So I tried making two outfits with them.
Chatmay in a Dark Brooding Moment
First, I made a dark fighter kind of look like others I have seen. I used Gladiator’s Felweave Raiment with Crown of Enfeebled Bodies, Merciless Gladiator’s Dreadweave Mantle, Corla’s Baton (wand), and Gladiator’s Dreadweave Gloves.
Shades of Grey (and purple)
But then I made an around-town outfit using my Voidheart Robe. <Author Note: Yes, I have the helm, and it is one of the ugliest things I have in my bank (which is why it is not being used in this article).> I combined it with other purple/gray items such as Laughing Skull Cap of Intellect, three pieces of the Emberfire PVP set, and Greatsword of Horrid Dreams. I wanted to show that PVP gear can be combined with other pieces for any kind of look.
After looking over these pictures again, I can’t decide which I want to do more- go RP or go do some BGs.
I’m keeping a lot of the PvP sets for their distinctive looks. I play on a PvE server, but I enjoy role playing, and it’s always good to have an older set for a screenshot. The level 60 gear is fantastic looking (and cheap!), while the Wrathful gear for Warlocks is FIERCE.
Great post!
The level 60 “Legacy” PvP gear is almost enough to make me want to level my Human Shadow Priest to 60 *and* BG with her along the way just so I can get that gorgeous Field Marshal’s Satin Robe for at least one of my toons — and I HATE PvP.
