I think I have an awesome idea for implementing a Death Knight Tier 1 and 2 set!

[tbdcarakias]

I think it'd be cool as hell to take the Warrior Tier 3 set and (maybe) the rogue Tier 3 set, alter the stats and turn them into DK Tier 1 and 2 sets.

This means you'd be able to go back to Molten Core, and have a Death Knight attainable set.

I'm going to do some searching and see if I can figure out how to take these old sets, change the classes/stats on them, and add them to the monsters in the Molten Core's loot table. They need to have the exact same drop rates as all the other classes tier armor.

What do you guys think? The warrior/rogue Tier 3 idea is because from my understanding you cannot create your own sets, you must alter currently implemented ones? Also, the warrior Tier 3 set looks like a DK set anyway.. The rogue tier 3 was the next closest looking DK type thing I could find.

edit: I should add, for anyone who may not know, the Tier 3 sets were lost when Naxx was moved to WoTLK. Naxx was formerly a level 60 raid zone that dropped tier 3 armor, but was moved when WOTLK came out. Tier 3 sets are no longer attainable.

edit 2: Ugh.. doing testing for this I created a level 80 to kill a mob over and over.. the 80 got the achievements for realm first 80 and what not. Is there a way to reset that? =/

Dunno if anyone's interested, but I did it. Took the Warrior Tier 3 set and converted all stats to be comparable, and never more than, warrior/pally/rogue Tier 1 sets. Added all the pieces to creature loot tables that host the other Tier 1 sets.

Whole process to do one entire set took me an hour and a half, and that was learning everything on the fly.. I think I could do a set in less than 30 minutes now

Sounds like a good job, if you want peoples opinions you should post screenshots or a copy of it. I personally don't like Deathknights but you should continue your little project.

If anyone's interested! Comments welcome.

Wish there was a way to modify the actual set bonuses.

To counter this I found an "equivalent" level 60 set, and added the set bonuses to individual pieces of this set.

All items have been edited and added to the monster loot in Molten Core. I basically just set everything to have the exact same chance to drop as the Warrior version of it.

That's actually a very nice idea, props to that.
+2 rep for you!
Maybe release it, so other people can have it to? I'm sure there will be others who want that.

[tbdcarakias]

I have no idea how to "release it"...

I could post a very descriptive, screenshot filled guide on how to do it.

Would there be a simpler way?

Would this be the place to release it?

Anyone know why this item isn't getting the agility bonus I'm telling it to give? Also, why do all the items in the set say Death Knight only except the boots? It too has the same class only ID as all the others, yet it doesn't say death knight only? O.o Oddly enough I had added agility to all the items, yet the boots are the only ones it showing up on... so confused!


Additionally, the agility is taking full effect on the death knights stat. With the pieces that dont show agility, if I unequip them, my agility does drop.

You can see the item in the screenshot, as well as the Quice editor.

Delete your cache and restart WoW. Your cache's cached the previous items' stats, so it appears as if they are unchanged, but they actually are.

Thanks so much Dyna, I'll try that now! Anyone have any recommendations for further Death Knight Tier graphics? I wanted to use only Tier 3, abandoned, item graphics, but I don't know how the DK will look in cloth/leather/mail... Obviously it'd have plate like defense.. Maybe it'd look normal?


One more question about Death Knights.. Currently it seems my Deathgrip is broken, at least graphically. Whenever I use it, the monsters just walk/run at me. In live, the monsters fly through the air to you. Is there a fix for this thats not too complicated to apply?

Edit: Deleting cache worked.. Grr, wish my screenshots reflected the stats.. Imagine +15ish agility on each item... Some have more, some have less.

[tbdcarakias]

Friendly bump.. still looking for suggestions on what graphics to use for Tier 2 4 5 and 6 for the DK.

Also still wondering if anyone knows how to fix the problem with death grip from my previous post.
