I have seen item comments numerous times that reported Ticket information on whether things are still obtainable, so I figured this sort of question was equitable.
Now, I love the look of the Horde Elite Aspirant sets this season. The thing is, the Elite versions of last season’s Aspirant sets were not obtainable to my knowledge. Wowhead alleges that the S2 versions are, but the armor is not included in the Appearances tab at all, which worries me.
WoWhead is a fansite. They regularly datamine incorrect information when changes occur in between the PTR and release. It has happened numerous times that items reported obtainable in the PTR do not make it to live.
Since it is possible that this set is only obtainable for a limited time if at all, I wanted to confirm its presence ingame. Especially considering the fact that I want to powerlevel a Warlock if it is. I may not be good enough to climb the Rated ladder, but I might still be able to get real Blight-colored canisters if I can get this set through the War Chest.
Here is what happened:
Hello. I have a question about this season’s PvP sets that I have been unable to find the answer to.
There is an Elite/Mythic version of the Warfront set, and of the Gladiator set. I know those are available and how to get them. But what about the Elite/Mythic version of the Aspirant set? Is it obtainable? How? I don’t see it listed in the Appearances tab.
I have heard speculation that it is available as a random drop at the end of Rated matches and through the PvP War Chest, but do I have to do Rated matches to allow it to drop from the chest? I am terrible at PvP and do not wish to hurt other people’s matches unless absolutely necessary.
With a response of:
Hey there _______,
This is Game Master _________. Even though we’re unable to provide game hints and what have you, I can get you pointed in the right direction. Wowhead actually has a decent guide on this very topic so let me get you that link:
https://www.wowhead.com/guides/darkshore-warfront-armor-and-weapon-transmog#how-to-obtain-warfronts-armor-and-weaponsSure you can look through the article to make sure it’s the desired appearance that you are looking for, but the section that was linked will give you the general details on where the sources are for the various types of armor.
Hope that helps and best of luck obtaining the gear.
Since when is this classified information? If I asked where the purple version of the T23 Leather set was obtained, I would be told. If I asked where the Elite Warfront set comes from, I would be told, even though the set has erroneously not been included in the Set tab. How could Blizzard deem us unworthy of knowing how to obtain a limited time set?
This GM did not even tell me if the set is really ingame or not.
The inner workings of weekly chests is not a secret either. Everyone knows that to get better gear from the PVE chest, you need to push higher keys. But what about the War Chest? Its barrier to entry is higher. Does that mean everyone gets the same pool of rewards as long as they meet the weekly Conquest requirement? I have no clue.
What’s the deal? Can anyone answer my question?
