World of Warcraft Offers a Surprise to Heroic Edition Purchasers of The War Within

When you buy the Heroic or Epic Edition of WoW: The War Within, you'll receive eight distinct transmogs, some with glowing variations. Progress through quests with Kurdran to unveil additional colors for the Stormrider's Attire in this upcoming expansion. The War Within's Pre-Patch phase kicks off on July 23rd.

Exclusive Transmog Variants for The War Within Premium Editions

World of Warcraft has just unveiled three new color variants of the Stormrider's Attire transmog set that players can unlock if they purchased the Heroic or Epic Edition of The War Within. These premium editions of the expansion come with a wealth of digital incentives, including character boosts, in-game currency, and a variety of cosmetic items.

The Heroic Edition includes the Algarian Stormrider mount and a matching Stormrider's Attire transmog set, while the Epic Edition adds even more perks, such as beta and early access to The War Within, 30 days of game time, and the Squally, the Storm Hatchling pet. During the beta, players discovered a quest that allowed them to unlock yellow, blue, and red variants of the Squally pet if they had the Epic Edition. Now, Blizzard has revealed another quest that awards matching versions of the Stormrider's Attire for those who bought the Heroic or Epic Edition of the expansion.

The new Stormrider's Attire variants can be further upgraded into a second, glowing version, meaning that players who purchase either the Heroic or Epic Edition of The War Within will actually receive a total of eight different transmog outfits as part of their premium purchase.

Obtaining the Latest WoW Stormrider’s Attire Colors: A Guide

To obtain the Stormrider's Attire transmog sets, follow these steps:

Purchase The War Within Heroic or Epic Edition, or upgrade the Standard edition.

Accept The Stormrider's Bond quest from Kurdran Wildhammer in Valdrakken. This unlocks the following transmog sets:

*Champion Stormrider's Attire

*Deep Stormrider's Attire

*Shining Stormrider's Attire

Complete the A Sacred Connection quest from Kurdran afterward to obtain the upgraded versions:

*Sparking Stormrider's Attire

*Frenzied Stormrider's Attire

*Shocking Stormrider's Attire

The original Squally outfit is unlocked automatically, and can be upgraded through a series of special Skyriding races. However, the color variants of this outfit, as well as their upgraded versions, are unlocked via a questline from Kurdran Wildhammer in Valdrakken. Fans can find these quests in World of Warcraft when The War Within Pre-Patch begins after the weekly maintenance and resets starting July 23. Players who bought the Epic Edition can also find the quest to unlock the color variants of Squally from the same NPC.

The Pre-Patch for The War Within has tons of exciting updates for players, including the alt-friendly Warbands system, the Skyriding overhaul, and tons of quality-of-life improvements. Fans will need to have patience when they first log in, however, as converting a World of Warcraft account into the Warbands system can take upwards of 20 minutes.
