Death Knights, once you’ve dug your axe out of that mob’s skull, have a look at these cool plate transmogs. You’re sure to find something to warm even the coldest of hearts. Uh, if you’re in to bloody spikes and lots of black, anyway.

If there’s a more depressing sentence fragment than “not available to players,” I haven’t found it. Most of the time, I intentionally sidestep gear that’s no longer available in game, but this time round raid_warlords Crown of Desolation was too good a fit with the rest of the set to pass up. Besides, y’all were around for the 10th Anniversary Event, right?

… right?

Oh, who am I kidding. The guilt consumes me.

And, Hearthstone players, in celebration of the recent The Grand Tournament expansion release, mosey on over to the Trial of the Grand Crusader and show Anub’arak what for. If you’re lucky, you’ll get Wrath of the Lich King Raid Drop - Boss Loot or Raid Trash Drop Ardent Guard and a lifelong fear of insects to show for it.

Now, because I was on the ball back when I first put this plate transmog set together, I went and selected Exceptional Crystal-Plated Greatbelt as the belt, despite the fact that it’s probably the hardest iteration of that belt model to get. If you like the look, save yourself some grief and trawl through the alternates on Wowhead.

Happy birthday to me! That’s right, it’s my birthday today, and what better way is there to celebrate than to release a set meant for a class I never play.

That isn’t 100% true. I do have an Alliance death knight (you might remember Mortuary from Death Knight posts of yore), but it’s a class that’s never really clicked with me. Which is weird, because I love death, and infecting people with horrible plagues is up there with knitting and long walks on the beach so far as my hobbies are concerned.

Maybe I should take her out for a birthday spin…

Okay, so I dropped the ball on this one. The gloves are, unfortunately, a drop from Trial of the Crusader (curse you, faction-specific raid drops), which means they are faction-locked to the Horde. That said, I haven’t flagged this with a “Horde Only” sticker because those gloves, though admittedly pretty cool, aren’t going to make or break the set.

If you’re Alliance and can’t find alternative gloves, let me know and I’ll scrape together some ideas for you.

On the other side of the coin, if it looks like  Quest Reward Breastplate of the Undercover Thorium Brother is an Alliance-only quest reward, never fear. There’s a Horde quest that offers the same model reward.
