    Patch 8.3 PTR - Worgen Heritage Armor Quest Preview
    The quest chain to receive the Worgen heritage armor is now available for testing on the 8.3 PTR for max level worgen players exalted with Gilneas. The quest chain starts from Courier Claridge outside the Stormwind Embassy. Spoilers below.

    • The chain starts with "Shadow of Gilneas." Tess says that she has asked her parents to speak with her about the future of Gilneas, and wants you to meet her in the gardens of Stormwind Keep.
    • You arrive just in time to see Genn forbidding a request Tess has just asked of them. She responds by saying that if she is to one day lead her people, then she must understand their hardship and it is the only way.
    • It is then made clear that Tess has asked her parents to give her the Worgen curse so that she can understand her people. She gives the ultimatum that she will have you do it for her if her parents don't oblige, and Genn responds by saying that she knows not what she is asking for, being forever torn between rage and reason, fearing for loved ones anytime they are near. Mia intervenes, saying that the Worgen curse cannot be undone, but there might be another way to gain the understanding she seeks.
    • Mia gives you the quest "Into Duskwood", saying that she met a night elf in Teldrassil, Vassandra Stormclaw, who might be able to help Tess without resorting to an extreme measure. This is the same night elf that originally helped the worgen deal with their affliction. She asks you to see her out in Duskwood.
    • When you arrive, Vassandra is busy explaining to Tess that Goldrinn's curse is dangerous. She says if her words alone do not suffice, then she knows another path to wisdom.
    • You then receive "Bane of the Nightbane", which tasks you to subdue a feral worgen named Bloodeyes. Upon finding the mount and placing some meat to lure her, you use a sedative and drag her back to Vassandra, who explains that the Worgen curse affects some worse than others. She then explains that she sent Tess on a task that she has yet to return from.
    • You then receive the quests "The Spirit of the Hunter" and "Cry to the Moon" in which Vassandra says she might be able to summon the spirit of Goldrinn to give test a taste of what she craves, but she needs bloodstained fangs from the leader of the pack at Manor Mistmantle, and a rare bloom called Elune's Grace from the east side of Duskwood.
    • You bring the items to Vassandra and Tess at the Twilight Grove, and then receive "Waking a Dreamer." You protect Vassandra as she summons Goldrinn. He appears and places Tess's essence into a section of the Emerald Dream he has twisted into her thoughts. He then requests that you enter the dream and help guide her with the quest "Let Sleeping Wolves Lie".
    • One inside, you begin a scenario that takes place on the day Gilneas fell. You wake Tess up, who is a Worgen in this Emerald Dream vision, and are tasked with clearing out the Forsaken and slaying Dark Ranger Thyala. You then pursue Nathanos's scent but fall into a trap and have to take out several phantasmal guards as Nathanos keeps fleeing. You then finally get to fight and kill Nathanos, but Tess is losing control and runs off. Vassandra shouts for you to chase after her.
    • You chase her down as she mows down Forsaken to find Sylvanas killing Liam while fighting Genn. As Slyvanas leaves, an essence of rage erupts from the rabid Tess and you must kill it to free her from her madness. She then learns that all the rage and fury of the worgen curse was still not enough to save her brother, and in the end she became nothing more than a rabid beast lost in rage. She learns that her people are not defined by the curse, but that they have held on to who they are in spite of it. She then asks Goldrinn to end the vision and you leave via portal.
    • Tess wants to speak to her father, and gives you the quest "The New Guard" before returning to Stormwind Keep. Upon arriving, Tess explains to her parents that she was mistaken and that her people are not merely worgen, but Gilnean. She then inducts you into the Greyguard and gives you the Heritage of Gilneas, which has a jacket version or a robe version.

    Obviously inspired by Genn's design in Heroes of the Stom. I wish it was a bit closer to his Master Skin, though.

    Goblin armor looks really good. Gilnean seems kind of level 30-ish. It's not bad, the top hat was totally expected, but the jacket and pants especially don't seem to have as much texture and stand out like the Kul'tiran heritage armor.

    man idk ... this set looks really really bad ...

    I feel like this was a missed opportunity for Gilneans to take back Gilneas.
    What is honestly stopping them now? The war is over and the Forsaken aren't even holding the UC anymore.

    Also, what has more "heritage" then your homeland?

    Looks really bland for a heritage armor. The overall theme is fine, though.

    The theme is fine, but the execution and detailing... No, just below what efforts went into other sets.

    Shame, really.

    Your kind will never change, and I will never stop fighting you.

    I should have known better than to get excited over this.

    Edit: My comment was about the quest chain, which is a complete disappointment. As for the armor I understand why it is trash in comparison to others. The other sets are made specially tailored for one race but this one they had to make it fit two races, humans and worgen. They definitely could have put a bit of extra effort into it though, there's random gear that looks better. But it was never going to fit as well as the other heritage sets in the first place.

    not a long coat ? garbage .

    Your hair clips into the hat in human form, your hand items are to long which hide the beautiful wrist items, cloaks clip in worgen form (perfect in human form), other than that it's a pretty gilnean-style set (looks just like the gilnean cloak). Looks way better without the shoulders, but it's still a bit boring and seems to lack 3d-ness.. Wish it was longer like kul tiran or greymane tho. Let's see if they give it some tweeks before launch..

    Terrible armor, terrible quest.

    Shame on us for caring, I guess.

  17. #17
    This set is utterly horrific and a complete failure. It's clear they didn't give a single shit when making it, which I suppose is par for the course with BFA.

  18. #18
    I don't even have a worgen character and this set personally insults me.

  19. #19
    Yeah.............

    Yeah, no, that armor is not ok.

    What a disappointment for the Worgen Heritage set. I was expecting a fancy coat. Not a stupid robe.
