Here is the full breakdown of how the Tier 2 Eternal Armor sets worked, where to buy them, and how the achievement discount system reduced the cost for collectors going for the full set.
What Is the Tier 2 Eternal Armor?
The original Tier 2 armor sets date back to Blackwing Lair, the 40-player raid at the top of Blackrock Mountain in WoW Classic. Each class had a themed set: Druids wore Stormrage, Warriors wore the Battlegear of Wrath, Rogues wore Bloodfang, Priests wore the Vestments of Transcendence, and so on. These sets defined the visual identity of endgame raiding in the vanilla era.
For the WoW 20th Anniversary event, Blizzard released updated "Eternal" versions of these sets as cosmetic ensembles, accessible to all characters without needing to farm the original raid. The three classes that did not exist in WoW Classic β Demon Hunter, Evoker, and Monk β received newly designed Tier 2 Eternal sets following the same aesthetic language as the originals.
Where to Buy the Tier 2 Eternal Sets
All Tier 2 Eternal Armor ensembles are sold by Traeya, an armor vendor located in Tanaris near the Caverns of Time entrance (coordinates approximately /way 63.0, 50.8). Traeya appeared as part of the Guest Relations Secret Event, a short questline that unlocked access to this vendor at the start of the 20th Anniversary celebration.
Ensemble Pricing and the Achievement Discount System
The sets do not all cost the same number of Bronze Celebration Tokens. Blizzard implemented an achievement-gated discount structure:
- First ensemble: 60 Bronze Celebration Tokens
- Second ensemble (after completing Upgraded Apparel): 40 Bronze Celebration Tokens
- Third through thirteenth ensembles (after completing Classy Dresser): 20 Bronze Celebration Tokens each
Collecting all 13 class ensembles costs approximately 320 Bronze Celebration Tokens in total (60 + 40 + 11 Γ 20), not 780 as a flat 60-token rate would suggest. Players who prioritized unlocking the achievement discounts early in the event reduced the per-set cost significantly.
All 13 Class Ensembles
| Ensemble | Class |
|---|---|
| Ensemble: Pale Rider's Eternal Armor | Death Knight |
| Ensemble: Netherwalker's Eternal Armor | Demon Hunter |
| Ensemble: Earth-Warder's Eternal Armor | Evoker |
| Ensemble: Eternal Stormrage Armor | Druid |
| Ensemble: Dragonstalker's Eternal Armor | Hunter |
| Ensemble: Eternal Netherwind Regalia | Mage |
| Ensemble: Eternal Battlegear of the August Acolyte | Monk |
| Ensemble: Eternal Judgment Armor | Paladin |
| Ensemble: Eternal Vestments of Transcendence | Priest |
| Ensemble: Eternal Bloodfang Armor | Rogue |
| Ensemble: Eternal Ten Storms | Shaman |
| Ensemble: Eternal Nemesis Raiment | Warlock |
| Ensemble: Eternal Battlegear of Wrath | Warrior |
Each ensemble is a full armor set for the corresponding class and applies as a transmog appearance once purchased, making it available across all characters on the account that share the class.
How to Earn Bronze Celebration Tokens
Bronze Celebration Tokens were the dedicated currency of the WoW 20th Anniversary Celebration. Several sources were available throughout the event:
- One-time introductory quests: the first few quests available at the start of the event (including Meet and Greet and related anniversary introductory quests) awarded a batch of tokens on completion.
- Guest Relations questline: a multi-chapter event series that awarded tokens at each stage. Completing the full questline unlocked access to Traeya and the Tier 2 Eternal Armor.
- Weekly anniversary quests: recurring quests tied to the anniversary celebration reset each week and awarded tokens for completion.
- Khaz Algar weekly activities: various endgame weekly objectives in The War Within also contributed tokens, including activity completions and boss kills.
The event ran long enough that players who participated each week across the full anniversary period could accumulate the 320 tokens needed for the full 13-set collection without significant pressure.
Event End and the 21st Anniversary Return
The WoW 20th Anniversary Celebration ended on January 6, 2025. Any unspent Bronze Celebration Tokens were automatically converted to Timewarped Badges at a 1:1 ratio at the event's conclusion.
The Tier 2 Eternal Armor sets returned as part of the WoW 21st Anniversary Celebration (November 2025), with one adjustment: the currency changed from Bronze Celebration Tokens to Timewarped Badges, priced at 400 Timewarped Badges per ensemble. The sets are available from the same vendor in Tanaris.
As of Patch 12.0.5 (WoW Midnight, June 2026), the 21st Anniversary event has also concluded. Whether the sets return for a third time during the 22nd Anniversary has not been confirmed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct vendor name for the Tier 2 Eternal Armor?
The vendor's name is Traeya, located in Tanaris near the Caverns of Time at approximately /way 63.0, 50.8. The name "Traeyain" that appeared in some early guides was an error.
How many Bronze Celebration Tokens does the full Tier 2 collection cost?
Approximately 320 Bronze Celebration Tokens for all 13 class ensembles, assuming you unlock the achievement discounts. The first ensemble costs 60, the second costs 40, and all subsequent ensembles cost 20 each after completing the Classy Dresser achievement.
Are the Tier 2 Eternal sets cosmetic or do they have stats?
Cosmetic only. The ensembles provide transmog appearances with no item level or stat contribution. They apply as learned appearances across all eligible characters on the account.
Can I still get the Tier 2 Eternal Armor in 2026?
The 20th Anniversary event ended January 6, 2025 and the 21st Anniversary event has also concluded. As of Patch 12.0.5 (June 2026), the sets are not currently available. If Blizzard runs a 22nd Anniversary event, the sets may return again, likely for Timewarped Badges.
What classes got new Tier 2 Eternal designs without a Classic equivalent?
Demon Hunter, Evoker, and Monk did not exist in WoW Classic and had no original Tier 2 set. Blizzard created the Netherwalker's Eternal Armor (Demon Hunter), Earth-Warder's Eternal Armor (Evoker), and Eternal Battlegear of the August Acolyte (Monk) specifically for the anniversary event, designed to match the Tier 2 visual language.
What happened to Bronze Celebration Tokens after the event ended?
Blizzard converted all remaining Bronze Celebration Tokens to Timewarped Badges at a 1:1 ratio when the 20th Anniversary event ended on January 6, 2025.
