Total materials for Frostfire (excluding the BOP items):

106 Wartorn Cloth Scrap
3 Arcane Crystal
21 Mooncloth
8 Nexus Crystal
6 Cured Rugged Hide

Comment by Josh

Really, gathering the materials is not the difficult part. In my opinion, the hardest part of getting the gear is getting the BoP's themselves. Such as waiting in line for your turn to get the piece over the 3 other classes, or actually having the piece drop that run.

It may cost some money to get the mooncloth, Nexus Crystals, and Arcane Crystals. That can also be easily overcome by farming with a friend.

You can get the Arcane Crystals by going through Dire Maul East, you go the short way killing the boss and go through the cave to mine the Rich Thorium Veins, normally there is 2 or 3 a run. You can get the Nexus Crystals easy by either asking your guild bank or buying them off the AH for an average or 14 gold a piece on the average server. The Mooncloth will take a long time if you don't buy it off the AH; you can farm Felcloth and turn it into Mooncloth or as I previously said, just buy it off the AH for roughly 8 gold a piece.

Comment by Parallax

Most people think this full set is the best gear in the game for a mage. However, this is not the case. Around half of this set is actually the best piece for its slot. maxdps.com shows comparisons in dps increase with different sets.

Comment by Kireek

Requires Desecrated Armor along with other items to be turned into a quest npc(except the ring).

Desecrated Armor is dropped in Naxxramas off certain bosses.

The following is a list of what boss drops what:

Head-Thaddius
Shoulders-Gluth, Grobbulus, and Patchwerk
Chest-The Four Horsemen
Pants-Loatheb
Gloves-Maexxna
Boots-Gluth, Instructor Razuvious, and Gothik the Harvester
Bracers-Anub'Rekhan, Gluth, and Grand Widow Faerlina
Belt-Gluth, Heigan the Unclean, and Noth the Plaguebringer
Ring-Kel'Thuzad

Comment by Pyrokinesis

Does anyone know what the proc rate is for the 6-piece set bonus?

Comment by RedcXe

The proc can be consumed by any following spell (including not your own), so is not considered useful by many mages.

Comment by Freud

T3 (limited to 5 same slots) vs. T4
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
This is not from me (some modifications for the links though) but i've found this useful comparaison:

For now lets just look at what we have

tier 3
---------

620 armor
107 stam
113 int
200 damage
24 hit
42 crit
+ set bounes for 5 parts
2: Reduces cooldown on your Evocation by 1 minute.
4: Gives your Mage Armor a chance when struck by a harmful spell to increase resistance against that school of magic by 35 for 30 sec.

Tier 4
---------
3 blue gem
2 yellow gem
1 red gem
1 meta gem

red and yellow gem http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24059
blue Gem http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24056
meta Gem http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28557

togeater this adds
42 damage
18 stam
12 crit
minor run speed increase
+14 damage for having the right gems
and set bounes
2: Gives you a 100% chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while casting Fireball or Frostbolt.
4: Reduces the cooldown on Presence of Mind by (-24) sec, on Blast Wave by (-4) sec., and on Ice Block by (-40) sec.

making a total damage of 233
total stam of 130
total of 63 crit

(I think the set bounes for tier 4 are WAY WAY WAY better then the ones for tier 3 just the 2 part one alone would be godly for frost mages who don't have a skill in our tree to stop the interuptions to our casting.)

Comment by iamjason1891

what Instance is this in?
47 mage, quel dorei <<<Noob lol

Comment by Elminstar

the point of the next tier IS to be an upgrade so while it is good you have the information there it is a sorta moot point. i mean not many people would spend so much time doing Kara > SSC/TK > BT/Hyjal > Sunwell without something for their chars as well as the bragging rights

Comment by nERVEcenter

I just pulled up a window to compare this to Tier 4 Aldor Regalia...wow. Seems like T3 raiders never had to replace their gear through Outland. Fantastic set.

Comment by Martia

I may have never gotten my hands on any Frostfire gear...but at least I'll get a Frostfire Bolt in WotLK :D

Comment by yury23drake

Can some1 post here the quest line or something ...

Comment by Chence

one of the cooler (omg pun) looking mage sets.

Comment by addictedtotoads

Why don't they make mage gear like this anymore? all mage gear i see now looks like garbage

Comment by Masochism

Well, a level 80 set very similar to the Frostfire Regalia (with a possible recoloration) is going to be implemented into the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. These peices will be attainable by running Naxxramas, which will be moved to Northrend.

Comment by addictedtotoads

about my last comment... they reskinned this and its going to be a tier in wotlk... lol

Comment by armyantsrule

As of today, the ability to obtain any Tier 3 set pieces has gone, forever. I myself was lucky enough to get the shoulders, my eighth piece of the set (I did not bother getting the ring), on the very last run we did on our server, the Saturday before patch 3.0 (Cost me a fortune, though).

By far the best looking Mage tier set of gear in the game. None of the other tiers, even the new ones coming out in Wrath of the Lich King, look as good as this set. It may have been pricy, but, after all, money isn't worth anything unless it's spent. Money can be earned back...Tier 3 is forever!

Comment by Throrion

With the 3.0.8 changes to Evocation, any Arcane mage with the two-set bonus of this set should be able to reduce the cooldown of Evocation to one minute!

Comment by Pyradin

This set isn't obtainable anymore? That's total bull!@#$! Good sets of armor are hard enough to some across nowadays, and if they get rid of this set, I could cry over the loss of the possibility of an arcane specced set.

Comment by powerany

How can i get the FROSTFIRE set?

Comment by Monogus

Oh man I was I could transmogrify into this, this wakes so much memories <3

Comment by Orcbum

More reasons Blizzard should reintroduce old Naxx with the gear again. This set is so beautiful. :( And it's a shame hardly anyone obtained it with the very small percentage of people that raided Naxx successfully.

And I'm probably gonna be downrated by special snowflakes who obtained Old Naxx stuff. :P

Comment by marc20031

That would ne so #$%^ing nice if Blizzard reintroduce the set.

I would love to transmogrify into this.

Comment by Moethetroll

Heroes' Frostfire Regalia and Valorous Frostfire Regalia both share the models of this itemset, however they both are recolored from the original. They are obtainable from the new Naxxramas in Dragonblight, and are very easy to get. Also, all classes (except DK's who didn't exist in pre but do still have a tier 7 set) have recolors of the pre-burning crusade Naxxramas set, great for transmogrification.

Comment by Kasa24

I was so hoping they would reintroduce this set when I heard that Blizz was putting in a lot of old deleted outfits, but sadly this one didn't make the cut. I was looking for an epic outfit for a frost mage, and this one strikes my fancy more than anything else.

I'm still holding out hope though, since this will hopefully be reintroduced some day. All the old Naxx sets are just too badass not too!

All of the old Naxxramas sets are now introduced through the Black Market AH for 10,000G starting bid. A bit pricey, but for the epicness of this set it'll be worth it! Now to wait months for all the items to appear...

Comment by Chichiri

I am so very sad that this awesome mage set is no longer obtainable, i could almost cry. This would have brought me "back in the day" especially with transmog coming :(

Comment by JuliaHB

I agree with Kasa24's comment. T3 had a much better look for not only mage, but almost all classes. As I have a Frost Mage, I really wanted this blue "icicle" look for her. Purple (to me) just doesn't fit the look. Also, the original T3 sets came with boots (and many other pieces such as wrist, waist, and ring)...and the T7 sets do not, making you have to hunt around to find those items that may match it.

I know this topic is really a "dead horse"...but please, Blizz, if you can't bring back the T3 gear, give us a way to "re-color" the T7 back to the T3 look (dyes, enchanting dusts, gems...) somehow...

Edit: Tier 3 has apparently been reintroduced in MoP with the Black Market AH...but prices? YIKES! 10,000 gold minimum is out of my budget...which make my frost mage one sad Blood Elf... <sigh>

Comment by FlayOnDarkIron

Wonder what that 2p would do to an arcane mages rotation in current content. With the ring and the boots you'd be giving up a lot of stats, but having only a 1 minute CD on evo? seems enticing..

Comment by vperomarta

This will be back on MoP! Hope i can get it.

Comment by ceasure

If anybody is curious to know what the old stats were I am going to post them here:

Frostfire Regalia
873 Armor
+162 Stamina
+177 Intellect
+49 Spirit
Equip: Increases spell power by 313.
Equip: Increases your spell hit rating by 32.
Equip: Increases your spell critical strike rating by 70.
Equip: Increases your spell penetration by 15.

Comment by Flaxxer

So now that T3 has been re-introduced on the Black Market Auction House I was wondering one thing. Since I can't see any class restrictions does that mean a Warlock could use this set for transmogrification? Anyone that can confirm?

Edit: Confirmed to have no class restrictions. So yes, you can use this for transmogrification on your Warlock/Priest.

Comment by Kasa24

For anyone who's managed to get a set of this from the Black Market AH, or those who held onto it from the original Naxx, Precise Sprite Cloak looks wonderful with this set.

Comment by Kanariya

The 4-piece set bonus for this set was changed very recently (assuming Patch 5.3.0). Prior to that, it used to be:

Gives your Mage Armor a chance when struck by a harmful spell to increase resistance against that school of magic by 35 for 30 sec.

Comment by Valerss

Is it me or is this set just that badass?

Comment by Eido

There are a total of 3 color variations of this set model:
Listed by: Transmogable level (version) - hover Preview. Class/purchase restriction.

Lvl 60 (original version) - Preview. Only obtainable via the Black Market AH. Mage, Priest, Warlock.
Lvl 80 (10-man version) - Preview. Mage only.
Lvl 80 (25-man version) - Preview. Mage only.

Comment by Keyboardturner

I've encountered this before, and I want to make this statement:
DON'T get this set on a user who can't transmog it if you're getting it for Legion (ie Warrior, Paladin, etc.)
Although you can equip it, it WILL NOT count towards your transmog collection. It MUST be on a Mage, Warlock, or Priest. ~~I can't find the tweets confirming this, but it's just how to transmog system is so far.~~ CONFIRMED. This could change in the future.
I want to note this, as I'm currently gathering the Dreamwalker set on my monk. I saw a warrior grabbing the Frostfire set.
If this doesn't turn out to be true, I'd rather be safe than sorry and lacking a lot of gold and vendoring transmog I can't use.

Comment by Shubi

I obtain all Frostfire Regalia set items from Black Market Auction House.
The other items that match this Xmog set (legacy Mage T3) are:

Staff: Soulseeker (no longer available)
Staff: Edict of Argus (best replacement)
Sword: Hailstorm
Off-hand: Talisman of Kalecgos (glows good ingame, but not on WoWhead)
Cloak: Harefoot Pinnacle Wrap (looks good ingame, but not on WoWhead)
Tabard: Tabard of Frost

Good luck! :)

You know the saying, "The woman wears the dress, but the suit wears the man."

Well the Frostfire Regalia wears the mage. Looks great on everyone. One of the most badass xmogs in the game. The WOTLK recolors don't do it justice.
