World of Warcraft recently confirmed players will be able to earn the missing Night Elf Heritage armor set sometime in the future. Though it couldn't give any details yet, the case of the mysteriously missing World of Warcraft Heritage set will be solved soon.
Patch 10.1.7, Fury Incarnate, recently went live in World of Warcraft. The patch included an impressive amount of content, including a Heritage Armor questline for the Night Elves. However, when the patch went live, players were remiss to find the Night Elf armor set only had a single coloration, and that the blue and white version they had discovered in the Public Test Realm was nowhere to be found. The situation worsened when players checked the updated Night Elf race landing on the official website. Splash art for the new World of Warcraft Heritage Armor was added, but it featured both the blue and white version alongside the collectible purple and silver one. Shortly after it was discovered, World of Warcraft quietly removed the image, leaving many scratching their heads about the mysterious armor set.
Luckily, WoW clarified its intentions with the set soon after. On its official Twitter page, World of Warcraft confirmed the blue and white version of the Night Elf Heritage Armor would be added to the game somewhere in the future, though it couldn’t give any details as to where or how at the moment.
Night Elf fans are glad to see WoW clear up the confusion over the missing set. Though it had never announced the set recolor in an official capacity, many players were hoping the set would be added sometime. The speed and transparency with which World of Warcraft addressed the issue was appreciated by many, regardless of whether they hoped to collect the set themselves.
That said, plenty of World of Warcraft players are reigning in their excitement for now. While some players are optimistic that the set will be added in a new quest in the future–especially considering some NPCs in the Patch 10.2 PTR are wearing it–others fear it could be offered for real money on the cash shop or via WoW's Trading Post. Additionally, several other old Heritage Armor sets, like the Lightforged Draenei and Nightbourne, have unreleased recolors players hope are added as well. Hopefully, World of Warcraft can eventually make all of these fantastic armor sets available for all players in the future.
World of Warcraft is available now for PC.
