Today my Paladin finally got the Sunsoul chestpiece! It was the very last piece I needed to complete my collection of the Garrison Salvage Yard sets — otherwise known as the New Character Selection Screen sets.
My poor Paladin had been running as many Garrison missions as she possibly could, letting the Crates of Salvage stack up to 20 before she opened them, for weeks trying to get that last piece to appear. Within the past fortnight or so, I’ve also gotten the last pieces I was missing from the Highmaul/Blackrock Foundry Paladin and Mage tier-lookalike sets. I am so glad to finally be done with running Garrison missions!
With all of the Garrison Salvage Yard/New Character Selection Screen sets at last complete, I could finally do a blog sprucing-up project that I’ve been wanting to do more or less ever since the beginning of Warlords — replacing the text links to each “Things my [Class] Wears” page on my “Fashion” main page with image-link buttons depicting the New Character Selection Screen outfit of each Class:
Furthermore, I’ve been deliberately putting each character into her New Character Selection Screen outfit when she goes to collect her first Artifact weapon. I’d been wondering if my Paladin would have to be last to go to the Broken Isles — how long would she have to wait to be able to get her first Artifact weapon because of the stubbornness of Lady RNG in giving her the last piece of her New Character Selection Screen set? So now that she’s got the full set at last, I now feel like I can bring my remaining alts out to the Broken Isles in any order I please.
In fact, perhaps I’ll spend the rest of this evening moving them all out of their Garrisons and into the Legerdemain Lounge in New Dalaran (though doing all their Order Hall introduction and first Artifact acquisition quests will have to wait for other days and times)…
That is a great project!
Those character selection screen outfits are fantastic.
They are quite nice! I found myself wondering, though, what the devs will do if they decide to create another new class that is *not* a Hero class — that starts at level 1 — and how that class will get its New Character Selection Screen set. Having to grind Garrison Missions would NOT be optimal! I thought I’d heard something about that gear being available from vendors in Legion so that folks wouldn’t have to grind Garrison Missions for it, but I haven’t seen hide nor hair of such a thing — unless that’s one of the “hidden” things about 7.0 that we still haven’t found yet…
