The type of World of Warcraft armor that you can use in this game will depend largely on the race and class that you have selected. That’s why it is so important to consider these implications when you first roll your character. Some will be severely limited when it comes to the type of WoW armor they can use, but on the plus side, they usually have extra skills that will make up for that downside.
World of Warcraft armor typically comes in sets and you’ll need to either quest for it, or purchase it on your own. Most cloth WoW armor is pretty reasonably priced, but if you want a higher level of armor, you’re going to have to be prepared to pay a high price for it. Each piece of armor will have additional abilities that are assigned to it. For example, The Field Marshall’s Dragonshield Breastplate will increase your strength by 25. This is the main reason that so many different kinds of armor are expensive, because they can increase your strength and abilities.
You can also make your own World of Warcraft armor, provided that you choose the right profession. Leatherworking and blacksmithing are two great primary professions to have when you want to make WoW armor, and some good secondary professions for this are mining and skinning. This can be a lucrative sideline for you in the game, especially if you choose your professions wisely. You can sell the armor you make at the auction house, or to different vendors of your choice in exchange for gold.
