29 Warrior Gear Guide

This will short and sweet. Comment and suggestions welcome. If someone wants to take it and spruce it up let me know.

My first bit of advice will be this: Having a 70 friend on the server of your twink will help immensely. Not all of the gear listed are found in instances but those that are not will fetch big gold amount in the auction house. It will be difficult without a 70 to farm for you or loan you gold. That being said I would also suggest that you level to 20 then have your friend start running you for your instance gear. This accomplishes a number of things. One it gets you your needed gear. Two, it gives you experience and you will come pretty close to 29 just by doing numerous instance runs. Three, starting your runs at 20 insures that you will not become xp capped. Meaning you won't be close to going over 29 to 30 going for gear. Here is in my research and opinion the best gear for a 29 warrior. I will note where something is alliance only or horde only and I will also split gear into a balanced, stamina and attack power or DPS sets.

Stamina set:

Helm>Frostreaver Crown: This is a random world drop. Meaning unless you are very lucky you will be buying this in the auction house. Prices vary server to server but expect pay around 40-80g. Forget the +4 spirit, what we love about this helm is the 182 armor and +15 stamina.

Neck>Riverpride Choker: Another random world drop. Prices vary between 25-60g on the AH. This is a great neck piece for a variety of classes so snap it up quick when you see it. +9 stam and +4 strength make this my neck piece of choice for all my sets.

Back>Tigerstrike Mantle: Another world drop. This is quite an expensive piece with prices ranging from 70g all the way up to 300g. Great piece though +7 stam is what's most important for this set but the +8 agility will help your critical strike rating and dodge rating.

Shoulders>Brigand's Pauldrons: I'm going to give three choices here is the first. You can obtain this great piece through a quest chain you receive at 29. You pick it up from Krusk in Tarren Mill so sorry Alliance Horde only. The fact this comes from a quest is great since it cost you no gold however since you pick up the first of this chain at 29 it will take careful xp managment. If possible have a 70 take you through the chain to minimize xp gain.

>Watchman Pauldrons: World drop. Prices go from 40-100g. Now I know this is leather and not mail, however we do get a nice +11 stamina bonus and the +3 strength doesn't hurt either.

>Sparkshell Mantle: These are another world drop with prices going for 25-55g. Pluses are the fact they're mail and the +10 stamina.

Overall if your Horde, Brigand's Pauldron's can't beat for their balance. I will also through in that Phalanx Spaulders of Stamina or of the Bear could be used here as well. Those are world drop's and will be a fair amount cheaper than the blue items listed above.

Chest>Raptor Hunter Tunic: Only +35 item level chest piece. That means you can BC enchants done. I would always choose +6 to all stats rather +150 health unless you only plan on flag running and that's it. You get this from a quest chain called Raptor Mastery at level 28 in Stranglethorn Vale.

More to come later.... When I get my post count up I plan on including links to thotbot to all items. And I know my grammar or sentence structure could use work. This is only a rough draft!

If you copy paste the wowhead link, the item will appear.
Also, putting [item.][./item] without the '.'s around the item name will link it (to wowhead) and alow item mouseover.

[Brigand's Pauldrons] = [Enforcer Pauldrons] and the latter can be done at lvl 25 iirc.
Both are Horde tho :P
[Thick Scale Shoulder Pads] > [Phalanx Spaulders]

Also, XP runs can be done without any XP gain. Simply have the boss kill the twink before killing the boss. Dont release, and group/Master loot the item to the twink.

Obviously not done; But you've forgotten a rings section for your stam set, and a waist/legs/gloves/boots/wrist section >.<

You can type the guide in Word and copy-paste if you don't want to drop it in a bit at a time.

Suggest adding Engineering cloak [Parachute Cloak] with a 12 agility enchant or possibly 120 armor if you plan on flag running.
