Good set, I now have the belt and the bracers, need to get the rest.

Excellent starter set for warriors.

Suggested for those who are in smaller guilds that cannot run higher than zg or aq20, easily attainable through 5 and 10 man dungeons.

Upgradable to the dungeon set two, Heroism.

A few Tips/Facts about the Valor Set:

-An easy set to get because all you need to do is run 5, 10 Man Pug's(Pick up Groups), but its not that great for tanking, or dps even. Better than the greens new 60's will have though.

-Upgrading to Heroism is a long and expensive process, but if you have the time, and money...and DONT run ZG/MC then go for it.

-If your starting MC dont even bother with this set, go straight for blues with +defense/dodge chance on it...it is much better til you get your tier 1 peices. There are also alot of ZG peices that are great for warriors.
(Ex/ Aegis of blood god, bloodlords defender/Bloodsoaked peices)

This is the warrior's tier 0 set. It can be upgraded to the heroism set known as the tier 0.5 set. This set really isn't for tanking, but I guess if you just hit 60 it is better than what you have for tanking/dps so you might want to use it.

If you're thinking of raiding with your warrior (Molten Core+) you shouldn't upgrade them. If you did, your armor would be easily replaced and you would think (why did I do that) because you basically just threw away tons of gold which could've been used for something even better. In fact, with the gold you use to upgrade I believe you can buy your two tier 1 BoE's on your server which are a LOT better for tanking. (This is depending on your server prices though)

For the actual valor set, I would say it is an alright set to get just to replace those greens that you were using before.

This is a good pre-60 set and can be found easily high lvl 5 and 10 man instances (Scholo, Strat, BRS).
Most people dont Upgrade to tier 0.5, heroism, as it can be very expensive and time consuming.

Yeah this set is as random as lightforge really. I mean the cost of gold to get this stuff from the AH will put you a few hundred gold in the hole unless you have a lot of waiting to do looking for cheap prices. On my server Zangarmarsh bracers from either sets can be found for more than 50g a piece. This is an extreme rip off cause u dont need it. bye the time u get the complete set ur gonna be in outlands getting gear for lvl 58 from outlands that kicks blue gear from azeroth ass. look it up i have Doombringer as a sword now then go over and look at some outlands gear and you will see the big diff. I find that it's more wise for both warr and pally to invest in imperial and then get some good outland greens. My advice is stay away from sets like lightforge, valor, soulforge, heroism, and lawbringer and just invest in some crap till u get to outlands. Warrs rule. Pallas also rule with imperial and a good 2h wep like Doombringer till lvl 58 then the outlans stuff kicks in.

this set used to be the best warrior gear in the game. having this meant you were king, having this and an arcanite reaper meant you were god.

Comment by 80026

Is this set also good for paladins???

Comment by 119811

what would make some sense, Blizzard should make all this old stuff BOE that way people could get some gear for alts, and give it to them I never see people going into these instance's anymore it would give people a reason to use the old instance for something.

This is the Warrior Dungeon 1 set, collected in 60th instances pre-tbc. They are used to upgrade to Dungeon 2, and the other sets are:

Magister's Regalia - Mage (Cloth)
Vestments of the Devout - Priest (Cloth)
Dreadmist Raiment - Warlock (Cloth)
Shadowcraft Armor - Rogue (Leather)
Wildheart Raiment - Druid (Leather)
Beaststalker Armor - Hunter (Mail)
The Elements - Shaman (Mail)
Lightforge Armor - Paladin (Plate)
Battlegear of Valor - Warrior (Plate)

REMEMBER: These don't have class restrictions. You can use any that you can, but the stats are tuned to the particular classes. You also require your class's set before upgrading to Dungeon 2.

What's up with the spirit on these? o_O

Now that WotLK has come with the fury talent to be able to wield 2 two-handed weapons, I've made an Item Comparison on how you would look Dual Wielding Arcanite Reapers with this set on, which look, in all, pretty badass. I've also given you the choice of selecting a matching shirt (White or grey), aswell as choosing between the heirloom items or the "real deal".

This set has some awesome looks and shall be obtained if you can wear it, especially if you're a warrior. It's way too cool to just be let behind. If you're not happy with the coloring on this set however, there's another "set (another comparison)" of gear that looks like this that misses a good-looking helmet however, but has another color to it and is tuned for Outland tanking/DPS hybrid. There's also a matching shield to this set, which is also linked in the comparison.

reminds me of Arcanite reaper, a classic :))

Comment by 275504

Anyone know the proc rate of the 6 set bonus?

Comment by 330050

Any matching weapon...? (not arcanite reaper)

Comment by 466314

is a great Set for warriors before outland has all of the essentials that a warrior needs(Great Stam and Strength,Decent Agility,and good enogh spirit to lower the amount of Food you need to carry) When my warrior was in his 50s i really wanted to whole set, even in your early 60s some of these items will still be useful, i didnt find some items to replace them, even though im 71 i keep all the pieces i have because this is personally, in my eyes, the coolest looking set ive ever seen and i want the "real" set,not the heirlooms,possibly the only one ill get as an heirloom is (wait for it!) ARCANITE REAPER HOOOOOOOOOO!

Comment by peeweesweden

And remember, you warriors who're looking forward to solo-farm this set:

In order to kill Gandling for the helm, you might and up with having to kill Scholomance Occultists, and at 30% they turn into shades that are 100% immune to all physical damage, including all your abilities. You need to one-shot them from roughly 50% health in order to kill them proper. It's not as hard as it sounds though. Just read this.

Comment by 637155

Haha imagine if they make it where you can get this full set in heirloom form(Just add polished to the front of every peace) and seeing a lvl 1 warrior/paladin running around in this + and ARCANITE REAPER.

Comment by fedas15

As of patch 4.0.3a, it has seemed like they removed the Dungeon One sets from the game. Reply if i am incorrect, but i have done the old dungeons, and no D1 is dropping where it should be.

Comment by 604413

For what it is worth, a GM told me today, that they should still drop in the 3 instances, They were not on the list for removal! The only thing removed was the ability to upgrade these to Dungeon Set Two, that set has definitely been removed and the quests are gone! He thought that the drop rate has been lowered considerably. I only pray that he is right

Comment by chop360

Have no fear!

To attain a set similiar to this after Cataclysm, get these items.

Old sets like this one will be available from Darkmoon Faire Island in 4.3 patch(minor details might not be accurate).
