Paladin Gold Transmog Glorious Set

as i was playing Legion alpha, i find that paladin has quite a few new abilities and animation changes, and some of them looks pretty fancy with shiny effects.

a simple thought came to my mind is to match my character transmog with a bright gold color theme. that should match the overall feeling very well i believe.

there are 2 popular "gold theme" transmog, and they are known as the glorious set and the conqueror set.

conqueror set

glorious set

both transmog are bright colors although conqueror is more towards orange and glorious is more towards yellow.

conqueror set is quite cheap, around 300g to 700g per slot, and you can acquire the whole set around 5k gold. but for glorious set, because it is so rare and thus, very expensive too, it cost around 300k gold to acquire the whole glorious set.

while looking for alternatives, i found several off-pieces transmog that looks golden too but eventually i came across 2 items in particular that shine out from the rest. the 2 items are the heroic SOO tier set helm and shoulders. although the SOO tier set is not design based on a gold color theme overall, the helm and shoulders is very shiny, and definitely good enough to achieve the bright gold transmog that i have in mind.

so i decided to use the helm and shoulder as the base theme for my upper body transmog. and then i slowly brought out the entire conqueror set and glorious set from the AH. after some mix and matching, i decided to settle down on using glorious set because it matches the SOO tier helm and shoulders better than the conqueror set.

and there is a matching shield from TBC rep

my list of items:

Head - Helmet of Winged Triumph - heroic SOO
Shoulder - Pauldrons of Winged Triumph - heroic SOO

Chest - Glorious Breastplate - 4000 gold on AH
Wrist - Glorious Bindings - 6000 gold on AH
Hands - Glorious Gauntlets - 7000 gold on AH
Waist - Glorious Belt - 7000 gold on AH
Legs - Glorious Legplates - 220000 gold on AH
Feet - Glorious Sabatons - 25000 gold on AH

Back - Brightcloth Cloak - Tailoring
Shirt - Bright Yellow Shirt - Tailoring

Shield - Sunward Crest - TBC reputation (Shattered Sun offensive)
Weapon - Brutal Gladiator's Greatsword - 800 honor points in Origrimmar


however, i can't seems to find a good weapon to match with my transmog. all the gold weapons i tried looks pretty dull when compared to the shiny armor. the pvp sword managed to catch my attention because it has a bright glow on it. unfortunately, only the top half of the sword is glowing.

anyway, there are 2 gold mount that matches my color very well.

Sunstone Panther (jewelcrafting mount)

Heart of the Aspect (store mount)
