Farming Glorious Legplates with scaling

Quick question,

Looking to pick up a set of Glorious Legplates for my Lightborne Draeni. Strats I read online said to farm AQ20, but with level scaling, would it make more sense to turn off XP for my 57-59 Draeni and farm Kalimdor humanoids?

Your recommendations would be appreciated!
Bears in Winterspring(?) is how I got mine.

If you want an honest to goodness suggestion I’d suggest farming the gold to buy them over farming them. In the time it takes you to make the (I think 200k on my server atm?) you’ll be spending much less time on average than how long if targeting glorious leggings
Alternatively iI could turn off XP and just farm instances at 58 over and over...
Farm it on a max-level character. It's just easier/faster. You might get additional mog pieces you never knew you needed!

Psst. Farm classic raids and ZF. My collection swelled rather quickly in ZF. Send me love.
Anyone have any recent experience with this?
We're on the same server. I'll check my characters bags, if I turn one up I'll mail it to you. I have all sorts of old crap lying around.

you can't get them in ZF.

The glorious legplates only drop off from Kalimdor mobs.

I THINK the ilvl was either 57. Before 7.3.5, there weren't any of level 57 mobs in Kalimdor. So you would farm level 58 and 59 as much as possible as those were the only chance for it to drop.

However, since 7.3.5, I'm not sure if it still works the same way.

I ended up buying mine off the AH.
farming with level 58s is very slow now no longer groups for it in group finder anymore

mostly just hook point groups i see
have fun farming aq for weeks hoping they drop

much faster to get them off the ah

Much appreciated!

Anything Lofty or Vanguard plate sets would be appreciated as well. They're all recolors.

I was fortunate enough to find a lofty chestplate in AQ20 yesterday.

The other kicker? I have the full glorious set on my male Draeni paladin, and I don't feel like shelling out for a sex change.

If you already have them on one character you should just be able to equip them to bind them to you and they’ll go in your collection.

If you already have the set then you should be able to 'mog it already. Transmogration doesn't care what gender you are.

I've never been interested in chasing them, but if you have a full set, doesn't that mean any toon that wears that armor type can xmog them?

If so then just a visit to transmografier ought to get you in business with no farming needed?

here is a place listing sources for them that may help you plan a farming strategy?

Nope, you're right, don't actually have those plate leggings on my male pally : (
Farm Silicate Feeders on two toons. Run in avoiding bosses and kill the feeders, log to next toon. Run in avoiding bosses and kill the feeders, log to first toon which will now be at instance start. Exit, reset, reenter. Repeat.

If you agro wasp boss (and have no agro drop), run out of room around corner to drop agro.

edit: This is one of my fav mog farms, the drop rates are pretty good for a whole bunch of valuable cool goodies.

Yikes, I'm glad I got mine back in the day for a few hundred gold (someone didn't know what they had when they posted it).

wrong

everything scales now including gear drops. i got a glorious chestpiece in ZF post 8.x, also a lofty bracer. i farmed it on a 110. glorious chestpiece originally required lvl 56, but when i got it on a 110 post 8.x, it required lvl 60 so it scaled

glorious legpiece was originally ilvl 57, so 55-59 mobs

...and ZF IS in kalimdor but it's irrelevant now

e: it took me a year to sell glorious legpiece, it sold for 90k 3-4 years ago

So I’m new to gold farming and I heard the glorious set is a big seller especially the legs. I’ve been farming AQ 20 for 4-6 hours a day for for months and no luck getting the legplates but got a few full sets of the other pieces. Is there another way to farm this or am I at the best place?

I see that you only have 1 post (on that character at least,) so I just wanted to let you know that necroing old threads is generally frowned upon. :slight_smile: Next time please make your own thread if the lastest response was a while ago!

To answer your question: I’m just going to be straightforward with you, I’m not 100% sure but back when farming for Glorious was a popular trend, I seemed to find videos recommending Silithus / AQ the most. I’ve seen a few Silithus farming groups up in the group finder recently as well if you would like to join one of those.

Otherwise, farming AQ / Silithus should be more than fine, might just be rng if you haven’t gotten a pair yet, those pants are expensive for a reason. :wink: GL with farming though, hope you get your drop soon!
