It looks like the Battle for Darkshore Warfront Armor and Weapons comes in several tints, as well as two variations. This is similar to the Arathi Highlights Warfront, in which the ilvl 385 gear looks more elaborate than the ilvl 340 gear.

I hate to be mean about it but the armor has taken a huge step back from Legion. Really disappointing.

I'm not even Horde, and I think the forsaken gear looks way better.

Comment by AdrianAdi52

As a die hard night elf fan I’m really disappointed and disgusted by how the night elf sets look (besides the plate one)

Comment by Dragonclaw

What I find disappointing is that even though this is in 8.1, the ilvl is still 370. This helps my main toon's progression not at all.

And honestly, this warfront should have come out at the same time as Arathi (just 180 degrees out of phase) so we wouldn't have had the poop-storm we did when Blizz screwed up rare resets and etc. I'm very disappointed in the variety of stupid fundamental mistakes Blizz is making lately. But I guess that's what you get when quote.. 'all our top devs have been moved to mobile'.

Still kind of new to WOW, anyone know if you have to be in the instance in order to farm the mounts here or can you be on patrol and do it.

This is some of the most boring, dumbed down content in any game I've ever played. Blizzard really needs to think through this type of /afk content.

The fact that there are only 3 or 4 comments on this page should be proof enough there is no interest in the content. There is more interest in finding Mankirk's wife in 2019 than this recent drudgery.

Speaking of /afk, you will get kicked from the instance if your character goes /afk or if some Dudley-do-rights vote to remove you for inactivity. Normally, people only notice or act on /afk characters for roughly the first half of this scenario.

A great place to inconspicuously /afk is under the feet of the Couldsong ancient in Ashwood Depot at 49,33.6. Just remember to tab back in every couple of minutes to not get flagged by the game for being idle.

Attacking the final 'boss' is not mandatory to collect the welfare items given away for trudging through this mundane content.
