Blue Transmog: The old frost resist sets (and more)

Unread post by Yoruko »

For quite a while now I've been trying to dig information and possible quest duplicates for the infamous(?) frost resist gear which seems to be one of the only light blue/cyan coloured pieces in game for all classes. All of them still have a craftable chest armor, belt and boots. (The boots sometimes having wrong or "broken" texture though and the crafted belts all seem to share the Polar Cord texture, even though it belongs to the Polar Leather set originally.) Technically, if someone in your server still has Frozen Runes and the patterns pre-learned; you can obtain some of the missing pieces. Others were drops from the old Naxx which is now gone, so those are unobtainable either way if there are no quest duplicates.

"Glacial Cloth"
Helm - Quest duplicate "Midrealm Hat"
Chest - Crafted with tailoring "Glacial Robe"
Waist - Crafted with tailoring "Glacial Waistband"
Waist - Quest duplicate (Horde only) "Dreadwing Skin Belt" (Appears to have the correct texture applied.)
Feet - Crafted with tailoring "Glacial Slippers"

"Polar Leather"
Shoulder - Quest duplicate "Mantle of the White Tiger"
Chest - Crafted with leatherworking "Polar Vest"
Waist - Crafted with leatherworking "Polar Cord"
Waist - Quest duplicate "Talonite's Belt"
Feet - Crafted with leatherworking "Polar Boots"

"Icy Scale Mail"
Chest - Crafted with leatherworking "Icy Scale Chestguard"
Waist - Crafted with leatherworking "Icy Scale Belt"
Feet - Crafted with leatherworking "Icy Scale Boots" (Seems to have either a broken or wrong texture applied at the moment.)

"Icebane Plate"
Chest - Crafted with blacksmithing "Icebane Chestguard"
Waist - Crafted with blacksmithing "Icebane Girdle"
Waist - Quest duplicate "Muscle Toning Belt" (Which seems to have the correct texture unlike the crafted one?)
Feet - Crafted with blacksmithing "Icebane Treads" (Seems to have either a broken or wrong texture applied at the moment.)
Icebane Plate has a transmog page here: http://www.wowhead.com/transmog-set=1193

NPC characters in game who wear these sets:

Glacial Cloth:
Disciple of Frost in Acherus the Ebon Hold

Icebane Plate:
Nymn in Winterspring, Everlook
Instructor Razuvious in Naxxramas

If you have anything to contribute to the above list: please comment and I'll add them!

I would encourage it if we could urge Blizzard to add these items back to the game for transmogging. They could be included as craftable items in their appropriate professions where the no longer obtainable Frozen Runes are replaced with Frozen Orbs or maybe as replica armor from Darkmoon Faire.

The old frost resist set is one of my favorites, and I hate that most of it is unobtainable and that almost nothing matches because of how vibrant the blue is. Occasionally I do transmorg the chest and combine it with pieces of my Ebonhold/Savage Gladiator set and the Bloodmail Legguards from Scholo. The look of the set basically revolves around the black and blue look of the Sonic Spear.

Here's a screenshot that I forgot to transmorg the Icy Scale Belt into, but you get the idea:
