Like the robe design ,hmmm.
Ok which clown decided to do this?
The racial starting gear looked perfectly fine??
Especially when a lot of these armor are quite human-centric.

These are beyond hideous.
Shaman and Hunter are the sameâŚdifferent colors.
Mage, warlock, and priest are the sameâŚdifferent colors.
Paladin for some reason is wearing shortsâŚand warrior just is wearing the same thing as a paladinâŚbut plate legs.
Blizzard, please hire artists with some creativity. Please.

Because they are a freaking million gold Iâm not buying it for that lol.
is any of the starter gear not bop? because⌠last time something like this happened, a few items became worth several wow tokens on the AH. 
The paladin and warrior are wearing pants not shorts you can see the strips.
There needs to be a vendor for this stuff, same as thereâs a vendor in Acherus that sells all the old noob DK gear, just in case you vendored it before they changed transmog to where you didnât need to keep it. There is zero reason to permanently retire anything like that in this game. Itâs not like weâre talking about mage tower rewards, itâs starting gear.

You donât actually need to stress out and buy everything before the patch goes live. While the armour sets are being replaced, it will still be possible to get these items after the patch goes live as there are either exact replicas (but have different names), or the items can be purchased from vendors. For example. Letâs say you want to replicate the armour of level 1 human warrior. The items that make up their starting outfit consist of:
- Recruitâs Vest
- Recruitâs Pants
- Recruitâs Boots
- Worn Greatsword
After this patch goes live, you wonât get these items at level 1, however youâll still be able to get them from other sources:
- The recruitâs vest has an exact recolour known as the cross-stitched vest which is a grey item that can drop from multiple mobs in the world.
- The recruitâs pants and boots can be bought from a vendor in Old Hillsbrad Foothills
- The worn greatsword has multiple items that use the same model, one of which, the well-used greatsword, being transmoggable.
And that goes for every other starter set. The original sets that you start the game with are being replaced at level 1, but the items themselves arenât being removed and there are ways to obtain each of the items without issue.
I had to zoom into the Paladin.
Looks like a mishmash of cloth and plate.
More likely chain mail and leather at low level which isnât bad, I still like the chain short and the chain sound it makes.
Do be aware though if you are an Insane Account Completionist Mode collector in AllTheThings you will need the exact item because it goes off ItemID and not shared appearance.
If you are a âUniqueâ collector youâll be fine following Carhagenâs advice 
I just have to see the motion of those scales on the hunter and shaman ,look at those details ,omg.
Yeah, if youâre a maximum level completionist then youâre going to want to get the items that arenât available from vendors or have exact matching recolours. Although, to be honest if youâre not on a roleplaying realm, they wonât have much value. Roleplayers will want them for roleplaying purposes, but your average player on a PvE realm isnât going to find much use out of them.
On a bank alt I still have the blue weapons they used to give out for starters probably wrath era.
not yet, you never know when they will lift the transmog restrictions to allow white gear
But that would require effort to update them. Blizzard doesnât even want to put in effort to make patches for the game.

Looks good for humans but why would orcs wear that?

Yea, true. But they did put effort into these starting sets, so eh. I feel like they shouldâve just not done anything to the starting sets since theyâre all being replaced with this. Sort of OK for humans, but any of these on a Tauren? Orc?? Troll??? Just looks weird:(
If they touch the Pandaren sets Iâm gonna lose my damned mind.
