The second level Death Knight gear - originally quest only and your equipped set when you leave the Ebon Hold starting area. Currently available for sale (cheap) to Death Knight's at Ebon Hold from Quartermaster Ozorg.

Personally, this is my DK's Tank transmog gear.

It is not available to other classes

This set uses the dark indigo (officially "Black") variant of the "Northrend D1 Plate" artwork. It's only available to death knights, but note that there's an identical set available to all plate-wearers: Saronite War Battleplate (Lookalike).

Also note that the bracer art for this set is a bit mixed up and doesn't really match. This isn't so important as the bracers would be hidden anyway, but I'll briefly explain. There isn't technically a bracer art file for the blue colour variant of the set in the database. However the bracer art included with this dark indigo (officially "Black") version of the set actually matches the blue set (lighter blue, gold-brown edging) and not this one. It looks like someone at Blizzard made a mistake copying them over and copied the blue art file over the top of the black file. Again, it probably won't matter as the bracers would be hidden.

There are three other colour variants of this artwork in the database and all are available as complete or mostly-complete sets. See:

Blue (no official colour code): Saronite War Battleplate (Recolor) (boots missing)
Gray: Saronite War Battleplate (Recolor)
Red: Saronite War Battleplate (Recolor) (belt missing)

I think I made a very nice set! Take a look. It consists of all the gear above, but the bracers, shoulders and helm. The helm I replaced with Acherus Knight's Hood, and the shoulders warriors and DK's can get, because they are exactly the same model. I also added two Facelifters for a Frost DK look!

I like to use Sky Darkener's Shroud of Blood as my cloak, with Hatebringer as my weapon for tanking. They compliment each other, and it fits the concept that I'm Blood. The darkness of the weapon also fits the cold, dark feeling of the set.

I use Devilshark Cape and De-Raged Waraxe with this set. I'm a blood DK so the red details in the axe look great with Rune of Swordshattering. When I'm wielding a sword I use Dreadlord's Blade as my mog, with the Rune it looks completely insane.

I'm wondering what would be a really good one handed weapon for this set. Axe/mace/sword. I'm DW frost and its been hard to find some good ones. Preferably something blue >.> Any help would be appreciated ^^

Comment by Chiad

i think Huge Thorium Battleaxe looks great with this set
the runforge enchantments just look great

Comment by AL3XAND3Rd91

Two handed weapons that match this set perfectly:
2h Sword: Greatsword of the Ebon Blade / Titansteel Deflector (never went live);
2h Axe: Greataxe of the Ebon Blade / Titansteel Defender (also never went live);
2h Mace: Demise (same model as Might of Menethil, which is no longer available).

This set came up on the list with a paladin/plate filter, not sure why unless they decided to make it available to other classes, but I doubt it.

With the level 3 Salvage Yard, you will be able to reacquire this set. But if you're very transmog heavy, then you probably still have this set. :/ I hope this gets changed to something more...

Comment by Isfendiyar

The best and oldschool DK gear I can barely say. Maybe the blue Icecrown citadel set, if you ever manage to pick every piece of that gear including the belt and boots. But this, this is the beauty.

Hellfire sets and both PVP conquest and elite conquest kinda make you into a warlock in any case. But they are considerable to be transmogged.

Unfortunately I did not receive these items on my Wardrobe. I deleted them months before this pre-patch guaranteed that I'd have them unlocked, but no... =/

Comment by taoin

I just made my first DK since the legion patch it and when I got to transmog my heirloom gear all of my Saronite gear is not showing up in the transmog interface. Is this set no longer able to be used for transmog purposes?
