Robe of the Thousand Needles

Armor Type: Cloth - Rare
Level Req.: 38 (70 with Blood Elf/66 with Gnome extras)
Source: Quest reward
Availability: The robe is simple to obtain
3D Model: Wowhead Link

How to get the set:

The robe upon which this outfit is based is a quest reward from Thousand Needles, available to both factions, as listed below:
Alliance – Robe of the Thousand Needles from Spread the Word
Horde – Robe of the Thousand Needles from Spread the Word

Obtaining the robe requires you to complete a lengthy chain of quests which covers most of the Thousand Needles zone.

We’ve included two sets of potential extras to match the robe, both of which are primarily composed of BoE world drops. The first set poses the most potential challenges, as the goggles are engineer only and the belt is no longer available. We decided to include the belt as it’s an excellent match and was available for more than seven years, so many players are likely to have it.

It’s interesting to note that this robe is worn by Twilight Magus mobs in Thousand Needles, whose outfits include matching extras for the robe. Sadly though, these other items are not available to players.

Extras (Blood Elf):

Head – Green Tinted Goggles (Engineers only! Crafted by Engineers of 150+ skill)
Shoulders – Slavehandler Amice (BoE world drop)

Waist – Clutch of Andros (No longer available. BoP drop from Kirtonos the Herald formerly in Scholomance)
