    Upgradable Stormrider’s Attire Transmog Set

    With the The War Within pre-expansion content update launch, players who upgrade to the Heroic or Epic Edition of The War Within can accept the quest "The Stormrider's Bond" from Kurdran Wildhammer in Valdrakken.

    Completing this quest will reward three new Transmog armor sets in addition to the Stormrider’s Attire Transmog set.


    Alternate sets: Champion, Stormrider's Attire, Deep Stormrider's Attire, and Shining Stormrider's Attire

    After completing Kurden's first quest, he'll have another for you. Complete "A Sacred Connection" to receive upgraded versions of the Stormrider’s Attire sets.


    Upgraded alternate sets: Sparking Stormrider's Attire, Frenzied Stormrider's Attire, and Shocking Stormrider's Attire

    Players who have not begun these quests during the pre-expansion update of The War Within can pick up a quest from Stormrider Bruelda in Dornogal upon launch.



    In Search of Stray Siblings

    Seek out Squally's lost siblings to gain a group of fun-size gryphons as battle pets!


    Players who upgrade to the Epic Editon of The War Within can summon Squally from their Collection and tackle the "Gryphons of a Feather" quest. Track down Squally's three siblings, Flash, Gale, and Thundo, within the Dragon Isles to add them to your bevy of battle pets.

    I'm curious why they plastered those stickers on them then, if it was the plan to ship them sooner than August.

    Sales must be down if they are so desperate that they are adding more things to it at the last minute.

    Maybe in case they had another launch delay like Shadowlands?

    The read says that The Stormrider's Bond has to be picked up in the next expansion hub city, but it's up in Valdraken as well. If you summon Squally, the quest it has will lead you to the transmog one as well.

    Public service announcement: pre-purchasing games is bad for everyone.

    Everything in this xpac looks low effort, it probably isn't. But it goes to show what happened to a once talented company. What a joke.

    Possible, but I am thankful, I love the sets boots, gloves, and belt, but the gold version is bad, I prefer if it was silver, and oh hey, silver one!
    although i do wish the gem was blue instead of yellow..

    Ugly? Man those boots and gloves are sick af. I am a warlock and look at this.

    I wanna get the silver and blue version of the chestpiece, but issue with that is its plate, and this is the only version a warlck can wear.
    I want big stompy plate looking boots and gloves and belt, I waent a bulky warlock. And this is the best ive got for the colours I want. I could make a killer black+red+gold one, but I rather silver/blue/white.

    Yeah, it happened for lots of other games too, but that still doesn’t mean it happened for wow yet.
