Purchaseable item during the Legion pre-launch event at the cost of 200 Nethershards. Unlocks this set.

Comment by jjanchan

UPDATE: All invasion armor is now base item level 700, with a chance to be Warforged to item level 705, 710, 715, or even 720!

This is one of the transmog ensembles that can be purchased for 200 Nethershards from the invasion vendors - Captive Wyrmtongue.

Note that the individual armor pieces that are guaranteed drops from the Small Legion Chest (from the 2nd stage of an invasion) or from Large Legion Chest (from the 4th stage of an invasion) are the same models as the ensemble. As such, you will obtain the armor pieces for these sets if you do enough invasions, and you don't have to spend the Nethershards on the ensemble for that armor class.

Level 100 is required to add this ensemble to your collection, but only level 98 is required to transmog to it (for alts). Note that you can add all 4 ensembles to your transmog collection regardless of your armor type! For example, a Mage can add Ensemble: Felshroud Leather Armor, Ensemble: Fel-Chain Mail Armor, and Ensemble: Felforged Plate Armor to the account-wide appearance collection, although only the appropriate armor type can transmog to them.

When are the invasions coming?

The Legion invasions (and Demon Hunter early access) arrived August 9, 2016 (US) and August 10, 2016 (EU). The will continue until August 30, 2016 when Legion launches, and will progressively become more frequent until that point.

Nethershard Currency

Nethershard is a new currency that will be specific to the Legion pre-launch event. These can be earned via invasion scenario events (25-50+ Nethershard per invasion).

Note that aside from Nethershards, the invasions grant achievements, and also the Stage 2 and Stage 4 chests can have unique weapons in them (that can be upgraded to item level 725).

The items available for Nethershards include transmog sets and item level 700 necks, rings, trinkets, weapon upgrade items, and a pet! These items are sold by Captive Wyrmtongue, who can be found in the Illidari camps in all invasion zones, as well as Orgrimmar and Stormwind City as below.
Note that the vendors in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City require that you complete the Broken Shore scenario to see them; the ones in the invasion zones are visible regardless.

Invasion Scenarios

There will be 6 different invasion events during the pre-launch patch. After the invasions start, they will become more and more frequent as we get closer to the launch of the expansion (August 30, 2016).
Each invasion is a scenario entered by anyone that moves into the invasion area, and has 4 stages. There is a progress bar for Stages 1 and 3 which is zone-wide - you will see how close you are to the next stage. Stage 2 and 4 have boss objectives, and completing these will complete the stage.
Note that the invasion instance you enter may already be in progress, with potentially a stage or stages completed already.
The stages are below:

Stage 1 - Defend against a general invasion point (e.g. Orgrimmar Rear Gate). Mobs are fairly trivial in nature, although numerous.
Stage 2 - Defeat two lieutenants and a commander. The commander spawns after the lieutenants are killed. These bosses hit pretty hard, so DPS and healers have to watch threat.
Stage 3 - Defeat the invading forces marked on the map - a zone-wide objective, with various activities that will advance the progress bar:

There are mobs to kill, of various sizes and strengths. These can be found at invasion points, marked on the map.
There are protected "Legion Structures" also marked on the map. You must kill the mobs protecting the structures; doing so will make the Protected Fel Crystals attackable. When the crystals are destroyed, the structure collapses.
There are various mini bosses scattered around the zone during this phase. These hit pretty hard, so ideally they need to be tanked or kited. These mini bosses often drop Nethershards, so it's worthwhile helping to kill them! They are marked on the map with skulls.

Stage 4 - Defeat a boss NPC at the original invasion point (requires a group). These bosses hit VERY hard and have some abilities that will kill you if you do not avoid them (e.g. breath mechanics - make sure to stand behind the boss!)

Some other miscellaneous notes:

Zones that have active invasions are marked very clearly on the world map. Note that only zones in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms are involved.

Mousing over the invasion icon will show you a timer, indicating how much time is left in the invasion, so that you can get there.

Entering a zone with an active invasion will put you into a scenario instance. There will be multiple instances going on at one time, so arriving at any point while the invasion is active will allow you to participate.
There are various vehicles you can use to assist you during the invasion (e.g. Demolishers, Glaives). These usually have a few abilities that will do area damage to mobs.
Most of the mobs killed for the invasions do not drop anything, although minibosses do. The shards/chests that are rewarded go into your bags automatically (even if you are dead when the appropriate stage is completed).

Rewards from the invasion are as follows:

Stage 1 - Nil.
Stage 2 - Small Legion Chest, which will contain 5 Nethershard, guaranteed iLevel 700+ Fel-Touched Gear*, and a chance for iLevel 700** weapons, with very unique models.
Helping to kill the minibosses during this stage will reward more Nethershards (5-10 extra).
Stage 3 - 10 Nethershard at the end of the stage. Additionally, mini-bosses during this stage drop Nethershards (reportedly 5-15). Therefore, killing these can net you a much higher yield than any other stage!
Stage 4 - Large Legion Chest, which will contain 10 Nethershard, guaranteed iLevel 700+ Fel-Touched Gear*, a chance for iLevel 700** weapons, with very unique models, and a chance for Coalesced Fel.

TOTAL: 25-80+ Nethershard per invasion

*This armor is the same armor that makes up the 4 transmog armor ensembles available for 200 Nethershard. If you are wanting only the transmog appearances and not the gear, collecting it piece-by-piece from these chests will be presumably much slower than buying the Ensemble.
This armor has a chance to be Warforged - this can boost it to item level 705, 710, 715, or 720.

**These weapons can be upgraded to iLevel 725 in increments of 5 item levels at a time using Coalesced Fel, which will also be available during the pre-launch event

Completing a single invasion rewards the achievement Stand Against the Legion.
Completing 6 of the invasions (as listed below) will reward Defender of Azeroth: Legion Invasions

The above achievements will be Feats of Strength (similar to Tripping the Rifts from the Cataclysm pre-expansion event) that will not be obtainable after Legion launches.

Another Feat of Strength that will be exclusively available during the Legion pre-launch event is It All Makes Sense Now (collect all 12 of the pamphlets from Doomsayer NPCs in Orgrimmar/Stormwind).

Comment by Nulgar

I just added support for these to TokenSplainer (Curse/WoWI) to show whether you already have unlocked this ~~(as the default interface gives no indication)~~

Edit: As HowlinWulf says, Ensembles now display whether they're partially or fully known (definitely a hotfix, I bought Ensemble: Chain of the Scarlet Crusade on Sunday and it didn't say anything when I looked at the vendor again, pondering whether to blow 25k on the Tabard)
Well, the addon still shows the individual items, but rather pointless for these Ensembles, as you can't select which item you get next. Will help for Gladiator Ensembles when I implement those, though. And other tokens in general.

Comment by 1686742

Don't make the same mistake I did. If you get gear from the Invasions, it's the same appearance as these items that unlock an appearance set. You'll just waste 200 shards.

Comment by 325139

Used this ensemble token on my hunter and altho it doesn't list the unlocks when used, if you check a low lvl cloth alt they will be unlocked! Requires lvl 98 to use.

Comment by EternalWulf

Transmogrification clarification:
1) You must be level 100 to consume.
2) You can use the ensemble on any character, regardless of armor type, and the looks will be added to the wardrobe. I used all on my paladin, and my leather and cloth alts got the looks in their wardrobes.
3) You can only apply the look on other characters once they hit level 98.
4) They are the exact same look as the items you get from the chests during the invasions.

In terms of the tooltip (at the vendor, at the time of writing):
1) If you have collected none of the looks included in the ensemble, the default tooltip says nothing related to the wardrobe.
2) If you have collected only some of the looks included in the ensemble, the default tooltip will say: "You know some of the appearances granted by this set already." in a blue color at the bottom.
3) If you have collected all of the looks included in the ensemble, the default tooltip will say: "Already known" in red at the bottom. This is both when the ensemble was used, as well as when the looks were collected from chests.

Wauw this looks awesome... I now regret not having a Warlock to use this set on =P

Comment by Greenhooves

Oof. Really phoned in the boots and legs on this set.

Comment by MissSea

I'm really frustrated that, although these items are BoA, lower levels cannot purchase them. I used the invasions to level many lower toons, and several of them did NOT get to 100. But I'm still sitting on thousands of shards. I was able to purchase the warglaives for my DH, but couldn't buy any Coalesced Fel either. :(

Comment by Valdan

In case you are wondering wow-heading this... These are no longer obtainable since Nethershards are no longer dropping. As the event is over. The vendor is still available if you participated in the event and want to cash in on the items via Nethershards assuming you have enough on your currency tab.
