WOTLK Classic Phase 3: Unlock BiS Gear With Emblems Of Triumph

We’re talking everything about Emblems of Triumph. I’m going to tell you what you can get from them? How to get them as quickly as possible and what you can do with your old Emblems of Conquest?

Everything You Can Buy With Emblems Of Triumph

If you go outside of ToC, you’re going to notice four new vendors for your faction. Jumping right into Aspirin Naradiel. This is the Tier 9 vendor. He’ll sell you whatever five pieces you want for your tier set.

Although this is actually only 232 item level gear, it’s still very relevant. The reason that is relevant is that it’ll trigger your Tier 9 set bonus even though it’s low item level. It’s also way cheaper than the other sets. You only need 210 emblems to complete the entire set, and it’s worth noting that you don’t need anything other than pure emblems. You could technically get this full set just from doing Heroic Dungeons.

Moving into Valiant Bressia, we’ve got a little of a more expensive set. This is your 245 item level Tier 9.25 set. Every single piece here is exactly 1.5 times more expensive than the Tier 9 set. And on top of being more expensive, you’ll also notice the yellow icon next to every single item. Every single piece in the Tier 9.25 I’ve said will require a Trophy of the Crusade.

The Trophy of the Crusade is essentially a tier token. You can get the trophy from the 25-Man Normal, the 10-Man Heroic and the 25-Man Heroic. From the 25-Man Normal, you’ll just get the trophies from bosses, but for the 10 and 25 Man Heroic, things are a little different. The only way to get the Trophy of the Crusade in the 10 and 25 Man is by completing the raid with as few wipes as possible. If you complete the raid with one or fewer wipes, you’re going to get four of these Trophy of the Crusade.

I also was able to get four from the heroic 25 Man as well, though it’s not mentioned on the wiki and really everything here is subject to a little of change. Because Blizzard could definitely modify some values. Wrapping up on Valiant Bressia, it will cost you a total of 315 emblems to get your full set. That’s actually quite a lot considering how many you get per week, but we’ll talk about that later.

Jumping into the next vendor, we have Champion Faesrol. As you can see, the same gear as before, this is now the Tier 9.5 gear. This is the 258 item level gear, the kind of stuff you’ll really want to get. As you can see, though this does not require the Emblems of Triumph, instead, you’ll be using a different currency called the Regalia of the Grand Vanquisher.

The Regalias are going to drop only from the 25-Man Heroic tribute chest. If you have one or fewer wipes, you’re going to get four of these Regalias (Regalia of the Grand Conqueror). They are Class Locked like always, so, for example, the Regalia of the Grand Vanquisher is locked to the Rogue, the Death Knight, the Mage, and the Druid. They are not, however, items unlocked, so if you get one you could use it for a chest, a helmet or literally anything.

Moving into our fourth NPC, we have Magistrix Iruvia. So, Magistrix Iruvia will be selling your PVP gear, your Furious Gladiator gear, and on top of that, you may notice that she also sells the Commendation Badges. These are going to be a 520 repetition ketchup mechanic, but they’re not in the game until ICC.

Iruvia will also sell you Crusader Orbs for 15 a pop and she’ll sell you all sort of different off pieces, jewelry and trinkets. She actually sells my 245 item level BIS relic for my wrestler's duet. She also has some non-tier 245 item level helmets and shoulders. So you know the gear, but how do you actually get the emblems and how many can you get per week?

How To Get Emblems Of Triumph?

In the original version of the game, you could actually get 84 Emblems Of Triumph per week. But Blizzard has already come out and said you can only do two raid lockouts per week of ToC.

For example, if you do the 25-Man Heroic mode, you won’t be able to do the 25-Man Normal mode and since ToC gives you 15 emblems per week per run, that’s a big blow. Losing those two raid lockouts means you’ll only be able to get 54 Emblems Of Triumph for a week.

The main source of your emblems will be the two ToC lockouts. You do as well as the daily heroic dungeon. That daily heroic will give you two emblems every day for a total of 14 per week. Though if Blizzard wants to give us a new Titan Rune Mode update with a new Satchel, I wouldn’t complain. If they end up updating the Satchel, that would be an additional 21 emblems per week.

And on top of your daily heroics, there’s also VOA (Vault of Archavon). Killing Koralon the Flame Watcher twice a week will give you an additional four Emblems of Triumph and there’s also Onyxia, which should be coming in Phase 3 as well. Doing the 10 and 25 man Onyxia, I should net you’re an additional six emblems. So, now you know how to get emblems, but what about the old raids and dungeons?

What About Old Content?

Every single raid in the previous phase will be dropping Emblems of Conquest and while that’s nice if you want to craft some ketchup gear for your alts. It really isn’t optimal. But luckily, there is a downgrade NPC you can use, which I’m going to do to convert all my Emblems of Conquest out of Emblems of Heroism.

Then, I’ll be able to use those emblems to get a bunch of Epic Gems for a large amount of WOTLK Classic Gold.
