Tabards A Guide to Cool Things to Hang over your Pants Tabards can say something about your character. They can be used to show your pride in your guild's skill or ferocity, or to prove that you're a sadistic, twisted guild leader who demands everyone to wear the pink fuzzy bunny badge. They can be used to showcase your skills in PvP, your standing with certain factions and your luck in the WoW game card game. They could also prove that you were a hero during the Battle of the Dark Portal, or that you have won a misleading victory against Illidan Stormrage. What kinds of tabards are there in WoW? Read (and look) on ... Guild Tabard Guild Tabard first tabard you'll ever have. These can be fierce and terrifying , or cute and cuddly. This tabard, Magtheridon’s Nocturnal guild is clearly geared towards the latter. You can also make use of the IGN's Guild Tabard Generator to preplan your own tabard. You can purchase it from the tabard vendor in any major city. Tabard of the Argent Dawn/Tabard of the Protector - These tabards are identical, but one is specifically designed for the Argent Dawn and the other is for "heroism during the Battle of the Dark Portal." The Scourge Invasion event allowed you to obtain the regular tabard by turning in Necrotic Runes. The quest to defeat demons at Dark Portal in the week prior to Burning Crusade brought out the Protector tabard. If you get the Protector one you can wear it every five minutes to emit an intense light and flex, "showing your heroism." The Green/Purple Trophy Tabards worn by the Illidari: These are the same ones that Illidan's minions in Shadowmoon Valley wear. You get them through a brutal quest line in Shadowmoon Valley, which starts with a drop of the patrolling level 72 elite Val'Zareq the Conqueror on the Path of Conquest. You can take the book you received from him and deliver it to an imprisoned draenei on the Path and he launches an event called the Battle of the Crimson Watch. Illidan sends four waves of many, various elite demons as well as blood elves at you. Bring an elf or two. If you make it through the fight, Illidan will challenge you to face him at The Black Temple. You get an attractive ring or one of these tabards and an Naaru in Shattrath City. Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade: This beauty drops off the mobs that attack you after the Herod event at Scarlet Monastery. It's a 0.4 percent drop, so you can start running around a lot in case you're looking for that. Tabard of Flame: This is a rare card that you can find in the WoW trading cards game. Tabard of Frost: This can be obtained by obtaining a rare card in WoW. Contest Winner's Tabard It's too late. It was reportedly given by Blizzard as a reward for one Horde or one Alliance on every server with the most honor kills in the time frame when the honor system first was made available. Private's Tabard/Scouts tabard: These can be purchased at your local PVP Good Outlet for three Warsong Gulch marks and three Arathi Basin marks. Faction restrictions apply. Knight's Colors/Stone Guards Herald: Similar to Knight's Colors, but you'll need 20 tokens, including Alterac Valley marks. Tabard of the Hand: This comes from an Alliance level 20 quest on Bloodmyst Isle, one of the Draenei's new zones. The quest, "The Unwritten Prophecy", starts with Demolitionist Legoso at Vindicator's Rest, involves blowing up objects and killing demons. It ends with a large parade in Shattrath City. You get this tabard and your choice of rings from Prophet Velen. Aldor Tabard This tabard comes from getting exalted with the Aldor faction in Shattrath City.
