I had the full set with my paladin. Really great set! Only thing is that the belt, gloves and waist is so much lower level so you can change them for better before then rest od the pices even drop for you.

IMO the best armor and weapons you can have from the SM for twinking a 39 ret pally is: Raging Berserkers Helm, Herod's Shoulder, Triune Amulet, Scarlet Chestpiece, Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade(just for fun), Gauntlets of Divinity, Scarlet Leggings and some good high lvl 30's rings...and for weapon: Ravager or Mograine's Might...All this is from SM, which is a great place to twink a lvl 39 ret pally...

This armor set does not include Herod's Shoulder, Raging Berserker's Helm, Aegis of the Scarlet Commander, Mograine's Might, Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade, Hand of Righteousness, or Ravager; those are all boss drops from Scarlet Monestary that players with the armor set frequently equip,- and they aesthetically match the look of the armor set- but they are unrelated. So don't be confused, since most screenshots also include one or more of these items.

This set is definetly one of the hardest to find I got lucky on my first run to have the boots drop and after 5-10 runs more i was surprised by the low drop on many items. I had 3/6 after 10 runs I checked in the auction house and was just bluffed and to my surprise my 3 missing parts where in the auction house for less than 50g alltoghether. I guess i was just lucky the chestpiece is not easy to find with its 0.1drop rate which amazed me... blizzard makes a nice set with some of the lowest drops ever

If you're just leveling, it is almost entirely pointless to try to get this entire set.

The leggings are the only part that you will see dropping consistently from a boss (Herod and Morgraine, to be specific,) and is probably the only really one that is viable to try to get for leveling.

The belt, gauntlets, and wristguards all drop from a couple of different mobs with reasonable regularity, so if they drop by all means get them if they're useful to you.

The chestpiece is a very rare drop from a specific mob, and the boots are an even rarer zone drop. If either of these drop for you on a normal instance run, it's going to be better to just put them on the Auction House: they both sell for around 200 gold.

If you're making a twink, by all means go for the boots and chestpiece, but if you're leveling, it's really not worth it, since you could easily buy an instance run or five with the gold you get from auctioning one of them to get an item that is equivalent or better, but is just slightly above the level 49 bracket.

I'm planning on twinking a warrior with this for RPing and Bgs, and I have a question. What would be a good 1h Sword to go with this and the Aegis of the Scarlet Commander?

Boots are the hardest to get, they are like a rare blue drop of certain mobs in SM Cath i think.

Looks great combined with Herod's shoulder, you could replace hands with Gauntlets of Divinity. You gain hit rating with Mograine's might anyway.

Awesome for 39 twinking a warr (or maybe a paladin)

Does anybody know what the shoulders are called? 'Cus it doesent come with the set.

theres a question why they didnt add a special aura that makes everyone of the scarlet crusade think your part of them. you look exactly like a Crusader yet, they see through you and want to kill you.

just noticed that all the pieces that people say to get (chest, legs, and boots) are the only blue pieces in the set

For those of you who are looking to be a scarlet-lookalike then I suggest you go farm the Blood elf starter area for SHODDY armor. Keep in mind that the gloves and boots are not exactly like the original set and that the chestpiece does not hold the scarlet emblem.

For an absolutely sexy 39 twink. You MUST have https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=23192 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=23192  !

(Didn't see this posted..wow. its a must for the set collectors out there.)

There are some good fallback items if you get discouraged looking for the whole set. The leggings are the best part anyway. Here's some alternatives selected based on looks, stats, enchant restriction, and reasonable attainability (only the bracers are rare; since they don't show, you can swap for whatever you can find):

Chest: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6773 Gelkis Marauder Chain (matches the set better even than the Archon Chestpiece does)
Cloak: for DPS, you can go with the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=33261 Destroyer's Cloak (yeah, it's blue instead of red, but it's easy to get and is lvl-35+ for enchantment restriction; Khan's Cloak is Horde-only). Tanks probably prefer the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=10776 Silky Spider Cape .
Feet: For tanks, the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=19509 Dusty Mail Boots are good enough to make it worth some disruption in the look. However, the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=14769 Ravager's Sandals match perfectly and look great on Draenei, Tauren, Troll, or Undead races. If you are any other race then you may be bothered by how odd it looks to wear sandals with full mail armor.

The full Scarlet Crusade gear has a stat advantage due to the set bonuses until you start to consider that many of the Scarlet Crusade pieces cannot be enchanted with Lvl-35 restrictions. The Mixed Set doesn't have this problem. Oh yeah, plus it's vastly easier to obtain the pieces for the Mixed Set. Did I mention that? https://vanillawowdb.com/?compare=10776.0.2662:10330.0.18:7719:7718:7724.0.684:13199.0.2647:10768... Comparison including enchants .

Why do hunters keep needing on my items? Whenever a piece of this set drops a huntard comes and says: Oooh nice blue strenght it help me kill with axe I have it ok ? then he rolls need and of course he gets it.......

(They even took the shoulders and helm and a shammy took the shield)

(I'm warrior)

https://vanillawowdb.com/?profile=21596029 This is my scarlet crusade build.There may be better stat items if I had left this guy as a twink but the visual feel is what I was building.

As shown in a screenshot, https://vanillawowdb.com/?compare?items=10329:10332:10328:10331:10330:10333:14781:24866:23192:248... THIS is probably the best looking combination between the chain of the scarlet crusade and other items. I like herod's shoulder and the Raging Berserker's Helm, but the blood knight helmet and shoulders do the set more justice.

Here is what I have assembled for my Scarlet Huntress set:

Head: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=25683"">(Item #25683) (Leatherworking crafted item, pattern drops in Sethekk Halls)
Shoulders: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=7718"">(Item #7718) (Herod FTW)
Back: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=15183"">(Item #15183) (Random world drop)
Chest: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=30773"">(Item #30773) (bought in Shattrath, no need to farm the Scarlet Chest)
Tabard: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=23192"">(Item #23192) obviously
Wrist: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=10333"" class=""qundefined icontiny"" style=""background-image: url(images/icons/tiny/inv_bracer_03.gif)"">Scarlet Wristguards
Gloves: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=10331"" class=""qundefined icontiny"" style=""background-image: url(images/icons/tiny/inv_gauntlets_19.gif)"">Scarlet Gauntlets (though Gauntlets of Divinity work as well)
Belt: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=10329"" class=""qundefined icontiny"" style=""background-image: url(images/icons/tiny/inv_belt_06.gif)"">Scarlet Belt
Pants: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=10330"" class=""qundefined icontiny"" style=""background-image: url(images/icons/tiny/inv_pants_03.gif)"">Scarlet Leggings or https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=30772"">(Item #30772) (the latter matches the Gauntlets of Divinity better)
Boots: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=24855"">(Item #24855) (random world drop) or https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=31173"">(Item #31173) work reasonably well. Both look better than Revlosh's boots (which are too purplish), and are much easier to find than the Scarlet boots.
Ranged weapon: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13146"">(Item #13146) for a gun or https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=15286"">(Item #15286) if you prefer a bow.
Melee Weapon: Still hunting for a good one, though https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13348"">(Item #13348) looks ok. I'm open to suggestions.

What's nice about this set is that it's ALL mail, and will be good for transmogrification for hunters. Go snatch a Scarlet Tracking Hound for a pet and you're ready to purge the taint of the Scourge.

<div class=""quote firstmargin"">I put together https://vanillawowdb.com/?guide=953 a guide , which has much of this same information but prettier formatting and way more pictures. Feel free to visit it and give me many many stars. =P</div>Quite a few people have suggested various substitutions for the Scarlet set, due to the following problems:

1) The boots and chest have a very low drop rate, making them hard to find and often prohibitively expensive.
2) There's no ""official"" helm or shoulders to go with the set.

I've made an attempt at a comprehensive list of the viable solutions. I'll add any others that come to my attention.

<ins><b>Chest</b></ins>: This is by far the easiest piece to cover for, because the ?item=23192"">(Item #23192) is both easy to obtain and an obvious part of the set. All you want, then, is an AH green that doesn't have visible arms that look out of place in the set. You can do this on your own AH, probably for less than 10g. If you're using a chest with no visible arms, I highly recommend one of the 3 red shirts in the notes below as well.

<ins><b>Boots</b></ins>: There are several workable boots that can stand in until that magic day when ?item=10332"" class=""qundefined icontiny"" style=""background-image: url(images/icons/tiny/inv_boots_02.gif)"">Scarlet Boots appear. However, most of your boot options pick up the red/chain look of the leggings rather than matching the red/gold of the actual scarlet boots.<ul><li><div>My favorite option is ?item=31173"">(Item #31173) . Even better, Horde can get an identical pair, ?item=29313"">(Item #29313) , from a quest in Auchenai Crypts. Alliance will be stuck watching the AH, though... suckers!</div></li><li><div>?item=11627"">(Item #11627) /?item=18047"">(Item #18047) are a good alternative to the Boots of Savagery, from BRD/BRS respectively.</div></li><li><div>?item=9784"">(Item #9784) /?item=24855"">(Item #24855) aren't bad, but I don't like them as much as the above options. They're shorter and leave a gap on female toons btwn the bottom of the leggings and the top of the boots.</div></li><li><div>If you want a narrower boot, ?item=56695"">(Item #56695) /?item=30958"">(Item #30958) are quest items that match the Scarlet art.</div></li><li><div>Finally, ?item=9387"">(Item #9387) are easily farmable from first boss in Uldaman. They're the only non-red/chain boots in this list and a quick substitute, but most of the above are better matches.</div></li></ul><ins><b>Helm</b></ins>: ?item=7719"">(Item #7719) is the most obvious helm for the set, since it drops out of SM off of Herod, but not the only option.<ul><li><div>?item=24866"">(Item #24866) will give you the look of https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4302"">(NPC #4302) , but is a bit too pink for my tastes.</div></li><li><div>For a simple bucket-style helm, there's ?item=14785"">(Item #14785) /?item=15684"">(Item #15684) or ?item=15670"">(Item #15670) in red/gold and ?item=33259"">(Item #33259) in red/steel.</div></li><li><div>What I love here is ?item=12636"">(Item #12636) . It looks amazing with the set, but it's a BS crafted item with an extremely rare vanilla pattern. Expect to troll trade for quite a while to find someone who can craft this. (Or you can use armory to stalk some of the older guilds on your server, looking for an old-school or collector BS.)</div></li></ul><ins><b>Shoulders</b></ins>: ?item=7718"">(Item #7718) , like the helm off of Herod, is an obvious shoulder to use, but there are other options here as well.<ul><li><div>The best option by far, imo, is ?item=13133"">(Item #13133) . It's awesome looking and, unlike Herod's, covers both shoulders. It's a vanilla world drop, but appears occasionally on the AH since it has a higher drop rate off of vanilla Nef and Rag.</div></li><li><div>?item=14776"">(Item #14776) is very similar to the Drakesfire and may be a bit easier to find on the AH. Another great possibility.</div></li><li><div>For simple red/gold shoulders, you have quite a few options: ?item=24868"">(Item #24868) with 1 tier, ?item=15677"">(Item #15677) and ?item=14806"">(Item #14806) /?item=10163"">(Item #10163) with 2 tiers, ?item=16988"">(Item #16988) with 3.</div></li><li><div>I don't personally like the red w/ rivets look for shoulders, but there are options here as well: ?item=31533"">(Item #31533) and ?item=31160"">(Item #31160) /?item=10237"">(Item #10237) /?item=30952"">(Item #30952) .</div></li></ul><b><ins>Additional notes</ins></b>:

A great place to start your search for weapons is https://vanillawowdb.com/?items=2?filter=qu=4;minle=70;cr=16;crs=2677;crv=0#0+2+1 Blackwing Lair . Many of the weapons feature red/gold/flame designs and look awesome with the scarlet set; a few examples: daggers (?item=19346"">(Item #19346) ), two-handed swords (?item=19334"">(Item #19334) ), axes (?item=19362"">(Item #19362) , ?item=19354"">(Item #19354) ), and maces (?item=19360"">(Item #19360) , ?item=19335"">(Item #19335) /?item=27741"">(Item #27741) ). If you're not into the BWL designs, though, there are other options.

<b>Axes</b>: ?item=23497"">(Item #23497) is a handsome 1H axe transmorg.
<b>Maces</b>: ?item=23544"">(Item #23544) is a possibility, crafted by BSs for only somewhat unreasonable mats. ?item=7721"">(Item #7721) doesn't match the red color, but does fit the SM theme (drops from Whitemane in Cath). I mostly like it because I love how it looks with power torrent enchanted on it.
<b>Daggers</b>: ?item=67160"">(Item #67160) , ?item=64539"">(Item #64539) H/?item=64534"">(Item #64534) A, and ?item=25300"">(Item #25300) are good caster dagger options.
<b>Shields</b>: The ?item=7726"">(Item #7726) is an obvious shield transmog for resto/ele shamans.
<b>Staff</b>: There are lots of options here, but I like ?item=812"">(Item #812) /?item=25935"">(Item #25935) which matches the colors and fits the theme.
<b>Polearm</b>: ?item=12583"">(Item #12583) /?item=25603"">(Item #25603) A/?item=25608"">(Item #25608) H is a unique matching polearm.
<b>Ranged</b>:
Bow: ?item=25248"">(Item #25248) is by far the best red/gold bow.
Crossbows: Options aren't great, but there's ?item=36628"">(Item #36628) if you prefer a gold look and ?item=43918"">(Item #43918) /?item=36630"">(Item #36630) /?item=36638"">(Item #36638) if you prefer red.
Guns: lots of options here, depending on what you're looking for.<ul><li><div>single-barreled - ?item=4089"">(Item #4089) /?item=25278"">(Item #25278) </div></li><li><div>double-barreled - ?item=13146"">(Item #13146) </div></li><li><div>long scope - ?item=17717"">(Item #17717) /?item=11629"">(Item #11629) /?item=3430"">(Item #3430) </div></li><li><div>short scope - ?item=53449"">(Item #53449) /?item=36641"">(Item #36641) /?item=36642"">(Item #36642) /?item=36643"">(Item #36643) /https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=53449#same-model-as:0-3+1 a bunch of other Wrath lvl uncommon guns (The first is a horde quest item. For alliance, I've listed the few you're most likely to see but if you like this particular model, check your AH for the whole list. Only the Wrath lvl guns are red; the lower lvl ones are brown.)</div></li><li><div>red/wood - ?item=31000"">(Item #31000) </div></li><li><div>and finally, a ridiculous one - ?item=45870"">(Item #45870) </div></li></ul><b>Shirts</b>: There's ?item=68611"">(Item #68611) , ?item=4330"">(Item #4330) , and ?item=42368"">(Item #42368) , but I prefer ?item=14617"">(Item #14617) or ?item=41252"">(Item #41252) , (because of their slightly darker color) to cover up unsightly bare arms.

<b>Cloaks</b>: There are just a *ton* of red/gold cloaks out there, and there's no way I can link to them all. I've recommend a few common cloaks below, but you can also check the Icy Veins http://www.icy-veins.com/transmogrification-shaman-cloak-armor-item-model-list shaman and http://www.icy-veins.com/transmogrification-hunter-cloak-armor-item-model-list hunter pages, respectively, to see <i>all</i> your other options.

NB: If you're lucky enough to have a Horde-only ToC ?achievement=3810"">(Achievement #3810) (10 or 25) cloak (such as ?item=47546"">(Item #47546) or ?item=48668"">(Item #48668) ) left over from Wrath, they look stunning with the Scarlet set but can no longer be obtained.
Other options:<ul><li><div>?item=33333"">(Item #33333) - long, white with red/gold border; many with its model, but this one is available for Justice Points from a vendor</div></li><li><div>?item=12967"">(Item #12967) - long, red with gold/steel border; quite a few with this model as well, so pick one that seems easy for you</div></li><li><div>?item=14781"">(Item #14781) - short, red with gold border</div></li><li><div>?item=25031"">(Item #25031) - short and split, red with gold border</div></li></ul>NB: Credit goes to the many people who've worked on creating this set before me and left their great ideas on wowhead and to the http://www.icy-veins.com/transmogrification Icy Veins Transmog Guides . Check it out if you don't find what you want here.

This set took (minus the boots and chestpiece) about 4 days to collect. With the proceeds from all of the cloth and greens that I found, I was able to buy the boots and chest on the auction house. I made around 14,000 gold off of the greens and other stuff I found in SM. (around 600 auctions or so) So, I still run SM a couple of times a week just to sell the trash that drops.

If my screenshot is approved, I'm the Tauren wearing the full set! I know, a Tauren Crusader, LOL!

As of patch 5.0.4, this set is no longer attainable due to the revamp of the Scarlet Monastery.
