As a transmog set, this page is missing two pieces:

Raging Berserker's Helm
Herod's Shoulder

Comment by Ashelia

It disappoints me that paladins will not be able to use this, nor will warriors, due to it being mail from low levels.

Comment by Kurasu

The drop rate on the Scarlet Boots, when compared to the rest of the suit, is extremely small. Most likely if you're going to be missing a piece of the set, it will be the boots.

However, if you are attempting to get the set together, I've found that aesthetically, Raider's Boots match quite well with the rest of the suit, and will do a very good job of 'filling it out' in the event that you are having difficulty in finding the boots part of the set. They are a low-level BoE 'world drop' green, and thus may be easier to find by farming low-level rares and hunting the AH.

If you are having difficulty with the Scarlet Chestpiece (also a fairly rare drop, though not so rare as the boots), then the Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade can help with getting the appropriate appearance.

WTB Plate version of this for my pally. Maybe a Heroic mode reward in MoP? Or a plate replica set that's somehow obtainable through quests or something.

I've got the whole set on my 39 paladin, don't want to level him any more as the set is just mail and i couldn't use it for transmog. :(

Also i grinded on and off for months for the boots, they never dropped, i found them on the AH randomly one day for like 8g. I snapped them up right away. :)

The perfect ranged weapon to go with this transmog set is the Shell Launcher Shotgun. The colour scheme matches perfectly with the set.

Comment by Kamboozle

I love this set for my shaman. Though I am unable to find a decent one handed axe to go along with it. Which is rather disappointing.

Comment by 855361

im about to put this together for my hunter, still trying to find a better ranged wep for it though :)

If you want the looks of a Scarlet Champion
Use the armors:
Blood Knight Helm
Blood Knight Pauldrons
in addition to the full set:
Chain of the Scarlet Crusade
Also, don't forget Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade

NB: It looks like SM's changes mean that the Scarlet mail is permanently removed from the game. If you happen to have a Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade, hold onto it as it's now irreplaceable. If you have unbound pieces of the BoE scarlet set, they are now significantly more valuable and will only increase in value. (Link: Undermine Journal) You may choose to hold them or sell them, but be aware of their worth.

I put together a guide, which has much of this same information but prettier formatting and more pictures.

Quite a few people have suggested various substitutions for the Scarlet set, due to the following problems:

1) The boots and chest have a very low drop rate, making them hard to find and often prohibitively expensive.
2) There's no "official" helm or shoulders to go with the set.

I've made an attempt at a comprehensive list of the viable solutions. I'll add any others that come to my attention.

Chest: This is by far the easiest piece to cover for, because the Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade is both easy to obtain and an obvious part of the set. All you want, then, is an AH green that doesn't have visible arms that look out of place in the set. You can do this on your own AH, probably for less than 10g. If you're using a chest with no visible arms, I highly recommend one of the 3 red shirts in the notes below as well.

Boots: There are several workable boots that can stand in until that magic day when Scarlet Boots appear. However, most of your boot options pick up the red/chain look of the leggings rather than matching the red/gold of the actual scarlet boots.

My favorite option is Boots of Savagery. Even better, Horde can get an identical pair, Earthbreaker's Greaves, from a quest in Auchenai Crypts. Alliance will be stuck watching the AH, though... suckers!
Fleetfoot Greaves/Flame Walkers are a good alternative to the Boots of Savagery, from BRD/BRS respectively.
Raider's Boots/Marshcreeper Sludgeboots aren't bad, but I don't like them as much as the above options.They're shorter and leave a gap on female toons btwn the bottom of the leggings and the top of the boots.
If you want a narrower boot, Wolfrunner Boots/Blackened Chain Greaves are quest items that match the Scarlet art.
Finally, Revelosh's Boots are easily farmable from first boss in Uldaman. They're the only non-red/chain boots in this list and a quick substitute, but most of the above are better matches.

Helm: Raging Berserker's Helm is the most obvious helm for the set, since it drops out of SM off of Herod, but not the only option.

Shoulders: Herod's Shoulder, like the helm off of Herod, is an obvious shoulder to use, but there are other options here as well.

Additional notes:

A great place to start your search for weapons is Blackwing Lair. Many of the weapons feature red/gold/flame designs and look awesome with the scarlet set; a few examples: daggers (Dragonfang Blade), two-handed swords (The Untamed Blade), axes (Doom's Edge, Draconic Avenger), and maces (Lok'amir il Romathis, Spineshatter/Bleeding Hollow Warhammer). If you're not into the BWL designs, though, there are other options.

Axes: Fel Iron Hatchet is a handsome 1H axe transmog.
Maces: Runic Hammer is a possibility, crafted by BSs for only somewhat unreasonable mats. Hand of Righteousness doesn't match the red color, but does fit the SM theme (drops from Whitemane in Cath). I mostly like it because I love how it looks with power torrent enchanted on it.
Daggers: Dagger of Suffering, Kubit's DaggerH/Kubit's DaggerA, and Lightning Dagger are good caster dagger options.
Shields: The Aegis of the Scarlet Commander is an obvious shield transmog for resto/ele shamans.
Staff: There are lots of options here, but I like Glowing Brightwood Staff/Invincible Stave which matches the colors and fits the theme.
Polearm: Blackhand Doomsaw/Lantresor's WarbladeA/Lantresor's WarbladeH is a unique matching polearm.
Ranged:
Bow: Talbuk Hunting Bow is by far the best red/gold bow.
Crossbows: Options aren't great, but there's Under-Arm Crossbow if you prefer a gold look and Shooter's Glory/Sinewed Crossbow/Bloody Crossbow if you prefer red.
Guns: lots of options here, depending on what you're looking for.

Shirts: There's Red Shirt, Stylish Red Shirt, and Scarlet Filigreed Doublet, but I prefer Sawbones Shirt or Red Workman's Shirt, (because of their slightly darker color) to cover up unsightly bare arms.

Cloaks: There are just a *ton* of red/gold cloaks out there no way I can link to them all. I've recommend a few common cloaks below, but you can also check the Icy Veins shaman and hunter pages, respectively, to see all your other options.

NB: If you're lucky enough to have a Horde-only ToC A Tribute to Insanity (10 player) (10 or 25) cloak (such as Sylvanas' Cunning or Cloak of Serrated Blades) left over from Wrath, they look stunning with the Scarlet set but can no longer be obtained. Other options:

Kharmaa's Shroud of Hope - long, white with red/gold border; many with its model, but this one is available for Justice Points from a vendor
Khan's Cloak - short, red with gold border
Bloodmoon Cloak - long, red with gold/steel border; quite a few with this model as well, so pick one that seems easy for you

I know it's not a Transmog... but there -is- a set that matches this. In case the rare blues do not appear -- or if you prefer easier to get gear -- use these items instead!

Shoddy Chain Belt
Shoddy Chain Vest
Shoddy Chain Pants
Shoddy Chain Gloves
Shoddy Chain Bracers
Shoddy Chain Boots

Comment by Mairin

Using some of the above and a few tweaked item choices to take the sting out of the trickier pieces I went with this for my human female hunter:

I just need the boots and the chest.. Why won't they drop :(

Comment by ShadowXII

With the changes to Scarlet Monastary, I regret to announce that this classic, iconic set is no longer available.

Comment by Restorawr

After mourning greatly the loss of this set (and the changes to SM... I personally prefer the old version) I decided to attempt to piece together a transmog set for my hunter after noticing he still had the tabard in the bank.
You're really gonna want to have Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade already, to make this work. Or the Scarlet Chestpiece should be fine. Apologies to those who don't. Perhaps Blizzard will add the tabard back to the loot tables in MoP. We can only hope.

Here are some suggestions to cover all the armour:
Head:
-Raging Berserker's Helm. There are other sources for this - the heirloom and a random green world drop.
-Blood Knight Helm. The rest of the set goes okay with the tabard but there is better coloured mail.

Shoulders:
-Herod's Shoulder. You're gonna have to get the heirloom if you didn't obtain and hold on to this.
-Hero's Pauldrons.

Hands:
-Scarlet Gauntlets. BoE. Hope for them on the AH. These are one of the more common pieces to appear there.
-Mercurial Gauntlets.**
-Bloodlust Gauntlets. This piece's set is really red. A lot of the pieces are pretty good alternatives to the Scarlet Mail.
-Blood Knight Gauntlets.

Chest:
-Scarlet Chestpiece. BoE. Hope for it on the AH. I haven't ever seen this on there myself.
Assuming tabard to cover:
-Blood Knight Breastplate. Only has small black bands showing on the arms. No sleeves apart from that. Doesn't show up at all on undeads.
-War Torn Tunic for a completely hidden chestpiece. I'm sure there are many more options. Browse your local AH, perhaps.
Red, in the case you do not have the tabard or want sleeves showing:
-Bloodlust Breastplate for medium sleeves.
-Crimson Mail Hauberk for medium sleeves and a high collar with chain links.

Waist:
-Scarlet Belt. It's BoE, you can hope to see it on the AH. One of the more common pieces to appear there.
-Bloodlust Belt.
-Voidscale Belt.
-Mercurial Girdle.** Has tan-ish sides, which sort of match with the dirty looking tabard. lol
-Marshcreeper Belt. More orange than red, but passable imo.
-Wrathfin Waistband.
-Engraved Girdle. Tis orange, but thin, in case you prefer to show the rest of the leggings you chose.
-Thorium Belt.

Legs:
-Bloodlust Britches.
-Inferno Forged Leggings. A match for the Crimson Mail Hauberk. Long pants and has chain links. However, the red armour stops a bit high, especially at the back.
-Breakwater Legguards. Depending on the belt and boots you use, shouldn't show too much of the odd colours.

Feet:
-Scarlet Boots. BoE. Hope for them on the AH. I haven't seen these on the AH nor seen them drop myself.
-Bloodlust Boots.
-Mercurial Greaves.**

** I like the Mercurial set pieces on Undeads, especially.

Here is the set I will probably be using, if you close that 3D view, all the other pieces I have recommended are there, you just need to drag and drop and then view in 3D yourself. Hope this helps someone C:

Anyone else think that if this were available in Mail then it would go perfectly with this set? Pauldrons of Swift Retribution

Such a shame.

Comment by blupparen

I have this set and the herod items (head, shoulders and axe) on my undead warrior. Too bad its not plate. :/ Lets hope blizzard lets us transmog any type of armor.

Comment by 937533

I have both the Scarlet Boots and the Scarlet Chestpiece UNBOUND on Alliance Moon Guard. (US).

Looking to sell one or both. PST / ingame mail me @ Poq.

Comment by MASDERCHEEF

I should have gotten a few sets of this for myself before MoP hit, especially considering that the Scarlet Crusade is and always has been one of my favorite factions... Now I feel like such a fool for selling what pieces of it I once had.

Comment by cobra807

I have found a belt for those hunter/shaman scarlet crusaders who want to use the gold/red color scheme that most of the high end scarlet crusaders have. The belt most crusaders wear is obsolete in game, but this one matches perfectly with the scarlet boots, scarlet gauntlets, blood knight pauldrons, and also the blood knight helm. It would work with other sets but i found it looks best with those 3, plus I am using inferno leggings and crimson mail hauberk, which is the chest and legs scarlet centurions wear, the ones before pandaria anyways. Hopes this helps people with scarlet belt problems.

Comment by 1201261

Putting a chance for these to drop on the BMAH would be awesome, Blizz.

Comment by Adomsin

I've gotten the gloves for this set out of the Salvage Crates from the garrison, so perhaps the rest of the set is in there as well!

Comment by ir0nmike

It seems that the uncommon items of the scarlet crusade set, are now dropping from the Big Crate of Salvage. I myself have seen the Scarlet Belt drop, and people in the wowhead comment sections have seen the Scarlet Gauntlets and Scarlet Wristguards drop as well. From the rare items there is still no sign of though.

Comment by giantgrape

Full set(minus legs, ofcourse) for sale on kael'thas. Most definately worth more after xpac. More than one toon can mog it? C'mon! Ty blizz.

Comment by tenshi95

This set is now available in both plate: Ensemble: Scale of the Scarlet Crusade and mail: Ensemble: Chain of the Scarlet Crusade armor sets along with a Cropped Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade from the Darkmoon Faire. Details in Wowheads guide Here.

<Old Post>
For any who haven't looked yet, this set is currently Plate armor in legion! As I understand (but don't have a source to) Plate/mail wearers start wearing that gear at level 1.

<Edit> Except the wrist and boots... hope they adjust that.

Comment by SoCalWoWGal

FYI for Transmog Fans:

The very popular Scarlet Crusade mail armor set, found in the Wowhead database under two listings, one listing is as an Item Set called Chain of the Scarlet Crusade and the other listing is as a Transmog Set called Chain of the Scarlet Crusade, which contained the following 6 individual pieces:

Scarlet Chestpiece
Scarlet Belt
Scarlet Leggings
Scarlet Gauntlets
Scarlet Boots
Scarlet Wristguards

With Legion the look of this set will become available as a transmog look as follows:

Mail armor ensemble, Ensemble: Chain of the Scarlet Crusade available for Hunter and Shaman
Plate armor ensemble, Ensemble: Scale of the Scarlet Crusade available for Warrior, Paladin, Death Knight.

Note: This post will be updated as further information becomes available

Comment by Apocalex

My Scarlet Warrior (Demon-Forged Mail) outfit version of the Chain of the Scarlet Crusade transmog set mixed with Demon-Forged Mail transmog set with some personal picks for shirt, cloak, one-handed sword and shield.

Requires level 55.
Usable by any plate class.

Sorry for including some items that are unavailable. It may require some creativity to replace if you don't happen to have them but, in any case, most of the items in Demon-Forged Mail fit nicely.

Comment by sakkath

I just bought the "real" scarlet chest-piece on a german server for 1 mil gold. Think im gonna go kill myself now..bye

Comment by giulietto

Years ago I rise up a second low level (19) tank warrior to get all the pieces of scarlet, and he has all the six items :)

Unfortunately my main warrior (70) has not those items available in the wardrobe. Is there a way to have this set in the wardrobe?

(edit) Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade is in the wardrobe: haven' seen it because I haven't the tabard put on.
