Patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion, is adding a new outdoor zone, the Zaralek Caverns. In this underground zone, players will be able to obtain new pieces of gear and weapons, and they do not look too shabby! These are Black Dragonflight inspired. Lead Quest Designer Maria Hamilton mentioned during the Patch 10.1 Reveal Video that these are inspired by Blackwing Lair as well:
Our outdoor sets for weapons, armor and even mounts are themed to the Black Dragonflight. They have the look and feel of something that might come from Blackwing Lair. Different color variants will be available through different activities, so players can collect all if they choose!Blizzard uploaded concept art for the outdoor gear in Zaralek Cavern in Patch 10.1, so we can have a better idea of what this gear looks like! Will you be pursuing this gear for your transmog collection in Embers of Neltharion?
