Barad Guldur Armor Sets - New and Old

Courtesy of Bullroarer, I have screenshots of the new level 85 Barad Guldur armor sets available at your local skirmish camp. I found it surprising that the new end-game gear is available without any special prerequisites, such as Dark Emblems from the actual raid. They'll be sitting here alongside the 65 6-piece sets at the Classic skirmish vendor. Make sure to click each picture for an enlarged version.  With the number of pictures here, I didn't want to make this post too long. Two sections here -- the 85 and 65 armor.

Level 85 Sets

(Heavy, Medium, Light from left to right)

The latest BG armor doesn't quite feature new skins. In fact, only the coloration appears to be different. If you notice closely, provided you are already familiar with the 65 BG armor, each set is a mish-mash of the original pieces from its respective classes. A helmet from one set here, leggings from another, and so on. The heavy set is for Champ, Guards, and Cappies. The medium set is for Hunters, Wardens, and Burglars. The light set is for Minstrels, Lore-masters, and Rune-keepers. Each class does have its own statted gear though! As for the dyable portions of this armor, only the silver-grey areas can be recolored.

Each piece costs 1554 Marks and 538 Medallions

   

Level 65 Sets

Here are the original sets from BG. Not much to say here other than this is some nostalgic gear from when the level cap was 65. You don't need to run the raid anymore to earn the Dark Emblems required for specific pieces, thankfully. But for those of you who don't have the marks and medallions, you can still trade in your Dark Emblems for the pieces in Ost Galadh. The stats are still the same, but this gear has become even more practical with it's availability at the Classic skirm camp vendor! Darzil's Crafting Guide has small pictures of each set, but you'll have a unique chance here to view larger and more detailed pictures by clicking each one!

Each piece will cost 609 Marks, 210 Medallions
