Raids like the Trial of Valor have mechanics that can range from irritating to nearly impossible to solo if you don’t get lucky. Legion raid gear is finally on the legacy loot system, so I recommend trying to do some farming there, but be warned - if you’re not geared well enough yet you might want to bring a friend or two for some of this content, especially on higher difficulties. This allows you to tailor your approach to maximize your chances at the appearance you’re looking for. Ten and 25 player difficulties became standard in this expansion, and both Trial of the Crusader and Icecrown Citadel have 10, 10 Heroic, 25 and 25 Heroic difficulties. The raids from Wrath of the Lich King are not only still soloable with relative ease, they contain a wide variety of difficulty settings. If you’re looking to replace that sword with a shinier sword, you’re better off choosing another expansion.Ĭhanges in game systems mean changes to transmog farming The appearances that come out of dungeons in Legion are much stronger, but keep in mind that this was the expansion with Artifacts. Upper Blackrock Spire got an update in Warlords and Scarlet Monastery and Scholomance saw updates in Mists, so there are specific item looks you can only get by running those dungeons, but those are still largely packed with more old-school appearances. Wrath and Cataclysm both had lackluster options from their dungeons, with a few standout pieces - mostly weapons like the Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver. The lack of a Dungeon Set past The Burning Crusade really makes dungeon gear feel like a design afterthought when compared with raid gear. If I had to choose an expansion with the most content worth transmog farming, it would be The Burning Crusade. Everything that once dropped still drops, and that makes it a prime source for some of the oldest gear still available in the game. None of its Dungeon Sets have been removed. Naxxramas 40 can no longer be farmed, but all of TBC’s raids are available. In general, if you’re looking for a wide variety of transmog looks, The Burning Crusade as a whole combines a wide variety of raids and dungeons with trivial (at max level) difficulty to make it a very productive expansion for transmog farming.Īlso, unlike original WoW, none of the dungeons or raids of The Burning Crusade have been removed or revamped in such a way that their loot tables have changed or been removed. There are four additional sets that use the models of these sets that drop in Heroic dungeons in The Burning Crusade as well. The level 27 to 30 dungeons of the Shattered halls, The Steamvault, Sethekk Halls, Shadow Labyrinth, Botanica, Mechanar, Arcatraz, and Black Morass also have a chance to drop Dungeon Set 3, the last of the Dungeon Sets in WoW‘s design. Not only do they contain a variety of pieces that are worth collecting on their own, they also contain recolored items matching the appearance of those original Dungeon Set items. With certain sets removed from five player content when Cataclysm revamped the old world - specifically, the Dungeon Set 1 and Dungeon Set 2 looks, which you can now acquire from replicas available through the Darkmoon Faire and from heirlooms in some cases - it’s worth mentioning the five player dungeons from The Burning Crusade in particular. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re hunting both Ashkandi, and other transmogs which sadly aren’t Ashkandi. Anything up to Mists of Pandaria should be easily cleared by any character at level cap, and of course I do not know every possible item in the game that might be of interest to you. Class Tier sets from World of Warcraft’s original content through The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm are some of the best, most dynamic gear pieces on record, and the weapons and other armaments such as shields and off-hand items are often superb.Ĭertain expansion content is so trivial for a level 50 character to solo that there’s no real reason for me to go into detail on farming it. When discussing transmog farming in World of Warcraft, “best” is of course a relative term. That being said, literally every raid has at least a few interesting items that are worth exploring and collecting.
