This is a great upgrade, and a lot better for retribution pallies than most of the other sets.

Soulforge is the best retri paladin set there is untill judgement and since alot of people won't get to that level of the game its a really good idea to get, even help with leveling in bc.

This is the hardest most expensive paladin set to obtain in-game. This is because of the unbelievable long quest-chain you have to go complete to upgrade your Lightforge set and because getting all the pieces takes extremely long time.

The bracers, gloves and belt are easiest to do - simply because the Lightforge items are BoE.

Thus you are likely to find them languishing on the AH. Snap them up and you should be able to do most of the upgrading quests yourself, although you will need to find an engineer to make some of the stuff for you.

Worst bit of the upgrade quest chain for me was the ectoplasm in EPL. The one place where there was a good supply of Ectoplasm (called Northsomething) you tend to be attacked my more than one invisble mob and die with tedious monotony.

i would say the worst part of the quest line was

Three Kings of Flame https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8961 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8961

getting all the items in Silithus to pop the fire serpent was a pain in the butt. i ended up having to spawn it 6x because the other 5 were of water or air element.

Just completed getting this set for my Nostalgadin this evening. For anyone considering doing it, took me 2 days to do in total, including farming the Lightforge stuff - got quite lucky on some of the drops I guess. Whilst the cost is of course in no way prohibitive any more, if you can't be bothered to spend a LOT of time traveling around the houses, this isn't the quest chain for you :o).

Anyways, the main reason I farmed this set, was cos it looks the daddy with https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=18509 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=18509  and https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=21134 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=21134  : In my opinion at least. Have uploaded a picture so you can decide for yourselves :o).

Just finished this on my 59 twink, looks great with ?item=13361"">(Item #13361) and https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=10093 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=10093 .

Took me 38 Strat UD runs to get my Lightforge pants, by far the most time consuming part. Got lucky and got a signet of beckoning:Fire from Twilight Text turnins pretty quick, although farming the suits is pretty easy.

Did this all with no help from highlevels, I even dragged a random LFG group run up through UBRS to defeat Lord Valthalak (couldn't queue for UBRS, so it was a group ment for LBRS, however we had a 64 pally healing and a 62 war DPSing)

Worst part? Did another Strat UD run to help a war in my guild try and get his pants. Was my 39th run. Lightforge pants drop again. /sigh

I'd advice anyone who wants to do this questline, to just jump into it. Had I known the sheer amount of travel and frustration I doubt I'd ever have started it.

So worth it in the end though.

I'd just wish it was more clear what you have to do in Silithus for that flame thing though.
Heres what you have to do (Three kings quest):

Go to silithus, farm Twilight cultist sets, when you're wearing a full set, you can click on a lesser wind stone, this burns some part(s) of your Twilight armor, but you get 1 Abyssal crest, you need to get 3 crests, once you have three, speak with the lady to the left of the Inn in Silithus, hand in 1 Large Brilliant Shard + 3 crests for a necklace. With this necklace + a full cultist set, you can click the Wind Stone - Which has a 20%~ chance of spawning the boss you want. I got my boss on the 5'th try, southern camp.

Warning !

When finished with the quest chain and you have obtained the full armor set, a massive surge of joy will go through your body.

Your head may explode.

This set is now strictly a retribution paladin set. Spell power, intelligence, and Mp5 have all been removed and reallocated to stamina and strength on the current Cataclysm 4.0.1 PTRs and Beta.

Just finished the chain and got my final pieces. Two weeks to spare even! I really think finishing this chain should warrant an Achievement, considering the amount of travel and difficulty and the fact that it will be gone in a few weeks. The final boss was a challenge to solo even with current gear levels, I died twice before I managed to nuke him down with an all-out assault.

Now it remains to be seen if https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=22057 this gadget still works after The Shattering. Would be kinda cool to be able to summon the bosses even though the quest chain itself is gone.

I got laughed at every time I mentioned that I was occupying that many bank slots to save my Soulforge set...but after going through the epic quest chain to get all the pieces upgraded, I wasn't about to just shrug my shoulders and toss it out just for the bank space - that's what bank toons are for...

So when Blizz introduces Transmogrification in patch 4.3, you can bet your sweet a$$ there's gonna be a pally on Madoran wearing his freaking Soulforge 24/7 :D w00t!
