I stumbled upon a recolor of the Battleplate of the Highlord set that I’ve never seen before and It’s not in the collections log. It wont let me provide a link, but if you search “WoWHead Tier 19 sets” and look at the Paladin sets, there’s a recolor that looks similar to the mythic, but with a few differences, mainly being more red in color with white and gold metal plates. Note that it’s NOT the same as the mythic recolor. It doesnt have the floating shoulder bits and the cloth strips on the chest are red, not purple like the mythic version. I’ve never really loved this set until i saw this recolor, but i cant seem to find any info on how to obtain it. Is it available in game in any way? I see there’s a couple other recolors that dont seem to be in the collections log either.
The one you’re talking about is the Horde PvP color of the Highlord set.
Of course it is… Legion apparently gave all of the god-tier Paladin sets to Horde, who really shouldn’t even have Paladins (and didn’t back in Vanilla). So i guess it’s impossible to get one of the best looking sets in the game on my Human Paladin… that’s depressing.
Anyway, rant aside, thanks for letting me know. Is it still possible to get the set?
God tier? It’s literally just a different colour. You can still get the set for the non-elite version, but the elite version is no longer available. If it does not have the floating bits it is not the elite version and you can still get it. Even if you were horde you would not be able to have the elite version anyway
Yeah, for Marks of Honor.
If a set is red, chances are it’s a horde pvp set. Would kinda suck to be an alliance Blood DK.
Likely an elite pvp color and unavailable.
I dont like any of the other recolors. This Horde version looks incredible but all the others look meh to me. The Alliance recolor is more dull and less vibrant. It almost looks dusty while the Horde version is bright and vibrant. The Alliance version looks objectively worse.
And same for the “Cruel Gladiator’s Scaled Armor”. The Horde version looks amazing, one of the coolest sets in the game, but the Alliance version looks dull and ugly to me.
Again, it just seems odd that Horde gets the better looking set when Horde shouldn’t even have Paladins.
