What an Excellent Pair of Pants in PLATE for Skimpy Style Transmogrification! I've always liked the Black Mageweave Leggings on my Clothies. Now I have a Glorious Plate option!

Comment by shroxari

My paladin is on an RP server - saw someone in trade wanting to buy this for 10k. Prolly shouldn't have vendored mine XD

Comment by 447551

So I have an odd story about this piece which might entertain most of you XD.

So about 3 weeks ago a person began to post in trade: WTB Glorious Leggings of the X. 5k, PST

I was like O.O Damn, someone's gonna get lucky soon. But too bad for him, no one had the leggings, and after about a week of relentless posting he upped the price to 10k! At this point I was @_@ Holy mother of all that is worth praising, that's alot of gold for a pair of green pants....

So I ponder about it for only 5 min, then ask him: "If I went out and farmed those for you, would you pay me 15k for them?" his answer was "In a heartbeat" At this point I was sweating...that's ALOT of gold for a simple green drop.

It'd turn out to be anything BUT a simple pile of cash o.O I farmed Dire Maul atleast 80 times on my rogue, finishing the east and west wing from end to end, without a single one dropping. I must have killed thousands and thousands of potential drop mobs, and not 1 drops. 2 weeks of relentless farming I finally tell the guy "Sorry man I give up, keep the gold".

I had at the same time been pondering to xfer my 68 paladin over from another server and make her alliance, and the day after I did it and moved her to my RP server.

As I always do when I break open an old dust collector character, I dust them off, check their bank, their bags, checking their talents, their glyphs, and if they dont have one, write them an RP bio.

But in this one I was in for a surprise O_@

I was checking her bags when I see a pair of pants that has the icon of any other usual leather pants, and i'm like "Great, another pair of soulbound, useless vendor trash quest greens", and without checking the name, left click and drag it onto the world to destroy it, untill I see this pop up on my screen:

"Are you sure that you want to destroy GLORIOUS LEGPLATES OF THE BEAR?"

O.o WTFBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

2 weeks of none stop farming, countless hours during countless late nights, turning down RP after RP, raid after raid, RBG after RBG in order to farm these stupid things, and low and behold, a pair of not yet equipped glorious legplates are sitting in my OLD OLD paladins' bags, I must've picked that **** up like 4 years ago when I was into her, and tanked Dire Maul left and right to level through the irritating 40s o.O.

So you all probably think: "Well grats on the 15k man, gj" But no...As a matter of fact I'm keeping them...These pants are worth MORE than 15000 gold, atleast to an RPer with a char who deserves them ;) Like me ^_^

So I kept them, and I'm now relentlessly farming the BREASTplate instead, actually am running AQ20 and 40 right now trying to get it ^_^ Wish me luck! <3 I'll post a screenshot once I get the set done <3

EDIT: Advice to farming these babies in DM(Works the best for druids, but the very best for rogues): Stealth through all of the mobs in both east and west wing and discover the chest locations. Whenever you find a chest, open/unlock it and check, there's almost ALWAYS 1 or 2 greens in a chest, perhaps more in a locked chest. I am strongly confident when I say that you'll get a bigger chance of jackpot by farming the chests, rather than tedious hours grinding mobs.

So to put it into perspective:

1) Stealth through all mobs and find chest locations
2) Once all chests are opened, double check in corners and behind obstacles where they could be hidden. If none are found, exit the instance and reset
3) Rinse repeat.
3a) If there're no chests, simply reset.

Sure am glad I read the comments! I am almost certain I am on the same realm as that guy with the huge story. I've also been trying to farm these pants with no luck in Dire Maul. Guess I'll have to go elsewhere now.

P.S. The guy has upped the offer to 10k OR 80 Inferno rubies (worth approx 14k on a BAD day)

Wondering if anyone else has farming advise. These things seem to be a real pain with Cataclysm.

Here's my research so far.

These items drop on Kalimdor only. They are iLvl 58, which means there is a chance level 57-59 mobs will drop them. There might be a chance level 56 and 60 drop as well, but looking through a bunch of loot tables, and a half-dozen hours of farming most green drops like this are +/- 1 level from the mob, getting +/- 2 iLevels is very rare.

So the problem is where the heck are level 57-59 mobs on Kalimdor now. The only place I've been able to find is Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh. A full clear usually finds 4-6 level 59 elite mobs (rest are 60-61). It takes about 7 minutes to clear it and respawn happens another 4-5 minutes after. I've seen a few level 58 greens but not a lot (mostly 59-62).

I've tried Sithilus and AQ20, but have only been seeing 55-56 iLvl items in Sithilus and 60+ iLvl in AQ20. Would *LOVE* to get a confirmation someone has seen these drop in either of those locations or another location (Winterspring) since Cataclysm. I'm concerned the loot tables above are polluted with pre-Cata drop info.

Oh. And if you happen to want to sell these to me, make a level 1 alt on US-Tichondrius Alliance and send mail to Spindarella. 15k gold standing offer. I'll figure out the cross-realm logistics too. :)

For those who don't wish to spend insane amounts of time farming for this, remember to every day log onto a toon in silithus, go to the locations of all the rares with a macro that tries to target all the rares in silithus (List here) and kill said rares and loot them. The rares drop a green every time and it takes roughly 20 minutes to kill the roughly 8 that you will actually find, this is faster than 1 green per 2 minutes. You will get lots of enchanting mats as a side note. This works best on low pop servers but silithus is usually deserted on most servers.

After partial runs of all 3 dire maul wings, I figured out that all the mobs in dire maul drop greens in the level 30-40s range after being deleveled, so it is highly unlikely that they will still drop these legplates, the wowhead data is most likely from pre cata.

Edit:Added second paragraph

Comment by Falinadin

At the very southern edge of Winterspring are some Rabid Shardtooth bears, and are levels 59-60. I decided to farm some for a while just to see what would happen, and amazingly I got the Glorious Legplates of the Bear off of my 5th kill. Of course I don't expect everyone to get them as quickly as I did, but I did learn that this item can and will drop from these bears. They may be an option in case there is competition farming Alcaz Island or something.

Comment by 976062

Wanted all the cata farmers to know that I have a confirmed drop from the bugs in Hive Regal in Silithus. Might give a little hope to those who are tired of seeing dead bears.

Comment by Zivy

After 3+ weeks of farming Alcaz Island & the bears, 2 Vanguard chestplates, 1 Glorious chestplate, killing thousands of bears(thousands of pieces of rugged leather), a hydra dropped these pants for me today. I'd almost given up hope on them dropping. One of the worst random drop grinds I had to admit I've ever done, however, one of the most money making ones, as well. Runecloth, rugged leather, greens = jackpot. Oh yeah, can't forget about the pearls in the clams the nagas drop.

I don't know if it was a 59, 60 or 61 hydra, i skinned it after I looted it, but they can drop off them.

Comment by MMOSimca

Best places for Glorious
Glorious Breastplate (ilvl 61): Level 61 Mobs in Kalimdor (Ahn'Qiraj and Alcaz Island) - use the infinite respawn bug in AQ20 on the level 61 Gladiators for easy Breastplates
Glorious Headdress (ilvl 59): Level 59 Mobs in Kalimdor (Ahn'Qiraj, Alcaz Island, and Winterspring)
Glorious Legplates (ilvl 58): Level 58 Mobs in Kalimdor (None exist) - use level 59 mobs instead
Glorious Gauntlets (ilvl 56) and Glorious Sabatons (ilvl 56): Level 56 Mobs in Kalimdor (None exist reliably) - use level 55 mobs instead
Glorious Belt (ilvl 55) and Glorious Bindings (ilvl 55): Level 55 Mobs in Kalimdor (Sithilus, Un'Goro, Ahn'Qiraj, Winterspring)

The most important thing is that you are killing mobs that are the same level as the item you want. If you are killing a level 55 to get a ilvl 56 piece (or level 54 piece), the chance drops by half. If you're killing a level 55 to get a ilvl 58 piece, the chance is nearly 1/8 of normal.

Obviously, the issue in this case becomes that there are no level 56-58 mobs in Kalimdor anymore. The best bet for the Legplates is to use level 59 mobs and just suffer through the reduced droprate. In this case, that means the 59-60 Rabid bears in Winterspring are one of the best bets along with the 59-61 Hydras on Alcaz. Additionally, the range for greens to drop from mobs is -1/+3. By that I mean that a level 59 Rabid bear is going to drop ilvl 58 up to 62. However, that means that anything level 60 and up -cannot- drop the Glorious Legplates, so if you don't want anything else, you can actually just skip looting the level 60 ones if you'd like (though it may increase the respawn time for the mob if green/blue/epic loot is left on the corpse, so meh).

Edit: Crossed out the last sentence because AoE looting is for the win!

Comment by Hailie

I had them drop for the first time tonight from a Silicate Feeder, after months of farming Ruins of AQ for Warleader's Belt and Exalted Sabatons. I can't seem to get either of those to drop though.

Comment by 44372

Got the chest piece this morning after farming the gladiators in AQ20 for about 2 hours. I wanted the legs and went to Alcaz Island first and did a clear and nothing. Then I went to winterspring and farmed the bears for about an hour and not a single green. Came back for another Alcaz clear and started killing hydras in the water, and lo and behold, the third hydra I killed dropped these legs. Can confirm they drop from the hydras, although wowhead does not list them as dropping from them.

Comment by mluvese

I contacted a gm about the bears in Winterspring whether or not I was wasting my time they would not tell me anything so after 900 bears and 4 green drops I decided to go back to Alcaz Island and after 20 mins my legs dropped YAY right !

A good place to farm this legs is on Silithus, on Az'Regal. I got mine there.

Comment by Allakhazam

I disenchanted these today, hoping for an eternal essence for my armor quest... and I got 2 Illusion duest. So much for 100% DE rate. :(
