Outrunner's Set


So the next set we're going to discus will be the mail Outrunner's set which is a War Paint Recolor.




Let me start by saying buy as much of it that you can. It has such a low drop rate and most people that do get it are after a different set so they post these pieces for sale on the auction house. I wanted this primarily to go with my perverse looking staff. It's skimpy and matches my staff colors closer than anything else I have found.

I bought 3 pieces off the auction house and got the rest to drop off of Balboa in multiples and Northwatch Bodyguard.

Balboa is a quest mob in Azshara that has a 60 second spawn rate. So if you are willing to take that route put on headphones and grab a good book, your knitting or whatever and farm the hell out of him but be forewarned, I never got the pants to drop. They only have a .2% drop rate so no big surprise. I did however get several pieces for other sets that are also skimpy and also multiples of Outrunner's set pieces I already had.


Well, let's get this post rolling now.

Outrunner's ChestguardThis piece I got in Blackfathom Deeps. It dropped pretty quickly. What more can I really say. It was probably the easiest piece to farm.

Outrunner's Legguards: So these pants were the last piece I got of the set. I farmed Balboa for 2 months and finally moved to the Northwatch Bodyguards. I farmed them for 2 days straight and BAM! I got the pants then freaked out because my set was finally complete.
OR
Cobalt Legguards: These legs are a duplicate to the set legs but they are so freaking easy to get... that's if you haven't done the quest already(which I had done prior to getting this set and regret not keeping the legs). The two quest chain is in Ashenvale with Senani Thunderheart who is standing under a small tent just outside/accros the road from the main building in Silverwind Refuge. It starts with Thinning the...herd? and ends with King of the Foulweald.

Outrunner's Cuffs: This piece is pretty hard to farm and not really worth the work since it is hidden by the gloves. If you wish to farm it anyways it drops in Wailing Caverns with a .16% to .3% drop rate.

Outrunner's Cord: This is a piece I have seen pop up in the Auction House several times. That's where I got mine from but you can get it from 2 places, Cannoneer Smythe (Horde Only) in the Southern Barrens with a 3% drop rate or Wailing Caverns with a .2% to .6% drop rate.

Outrunner's Gloves: These drop in Wailing Caverns with a drop rate of .14% to .7%. I got mine off the Auction House though.

Outrunner's Slippers: These drop off the Teraptor Matriarch (11% drop rate) on the Lost Isle as well as in Wailing Caverns with a .08% to .4% drop rate but I again got mine off the Auction House because it was just easier.

Outrunner's Cloak: This piece drops off of mobs in Wailing Caverns and Ragefire Chasm with a .11% to .3% drop rate. Mine came out of Ragefire Chasm while I was farming other pieces for future sets I'll be posting.

The set can be farmed in Black Fathom Deeps and a couple pieces in Wailing Caverns. Before I get too into details here let me tell you that this set is not for the faint of heart or the easily discouraged.

Azure Shoulderguards: Since the Outrunner's Shoulderguards are white you can't use them but these are the lookalikes. You get them by completing a Swords Deck and turning it in to the Darkmoon Faire. I'm sure there is probably a better matching shoulder(maybe) but these work well still.




Medusoid Staff: This was the beginning of my outfit. I looked long and hard for a set to match this staff. You get this staff by completing Come Hell or High Water quest in the southern part of Kelp'Thar Forest in Vashj'ir. The quest giver is Rendel Firetongue in Gnaws Boneyard.
