Dress for Luxurious Success: The Complete Guide to Gearing Your Bank Alt

The leveling dust has settled, you’ve begun to make gold again--it's the perfect time to spruce up your bank alt! Sure, you could go running around in starting zone gear, but it’s much more fun to play the Auction House in style. Show up for work dressed for luxurious success. From fishing rewards to wine glasses, we’ve highlighted the best of the offbeat items your low-level bank alt can equip. Whether you’re a veteran banker putting
Viznik Goldraffer
to shame or a new player with an empty bank, retire your overdone
Smokingjacke
and let everyone know that your bank alt appreciates the finer side of Azeroth.
Check out the coolest items for each slot, holiday rewards, special armor vendors, and some sample outfits after the break!
For the purpose of this guide, we’ll assume your bank alt is level 10 in order to show up on the Armory (since half the fun in rolling a bank alt is the mix of anonymity and showing off). We’ll also mostly focus on cloth items since any class can equip them. We won't highlight these items for every slot because there are so many, but in general, creating level 1s with the sole purpose to mail unique starter-zone gear to your bank alt is a great fashion resource.

Items by Slot
Head
View your world through luxury-tinted shades. Finding a special helm will make your bank alt stand out, as helms for low-level toons are generally uncommon. Here are a few of our favorite options:
Banditenmaske eines Blutelfen
, an imperial mask, drops from
Blutelfenbandit
, a spy hidden on
Azurmythosinsel
. (Horde, don’t be discouraged—he’s hostile to you as well.) He has roughly a 20% chance to drop the mask, but respawns almost instantly.
Adligenmonokel
is obtained from
Sack voll geangelter Schätze
, a reward for completing any of the Shattrath fishing dailies, which require lvl 70. While it’s roughly a 1% chance from the
Bag of Fishing Treasures
, these fishing dailies can also give you some other fun vanity gear, such as
Zerknitterter Dschungelhut
. However, if you’re impatient to look sophisticated, consider getting either
Rubinmonokel des Juweliers
,
Saphirmonokel des Juweliers
, or
Bernsteinmonokel des Juweliers
from your favorite Jewelcrafter.
Another sophisticated option is
Lord Waldens Zylinder
, but it can only be obtained by worgen in their starting zone. However, the hat remains if you race-change. Hopefully,
Eleganter Zylinderhut
will be implemented one day for the rest of us.
Demonstrate your knowledge of the arcane by scheduling a visit to the haberdasher with
Chameli Banaphash
. Decide between
Lila Turban
and
Violetter Hut
.
Rubinfarbene Sonnenbrille
is the ultimate luxury helm for your bank alt. Formerly sold by
Haris Pilton
in Shattrath, this periodically resurfaces on the AH for a hefty amount. Grab one to show everyone how wealthy you are. If you want the cheap knockoff, have an engineer make either
Authentische Junioreningenieursbrille
for bonus flavor text or
Schattenschutzbrille
,
Fliegerbrille
, or
Schutzbrille mit grünen Gläsern
for the perfect tint. Unfortunately,
Strassbesetzte Sonnenbrille
were never put into the game for extra blingee.
While
Bürgi Schwarzherz
may be a level 81 dancing ghost and pirate, his spoils,
Burgy Blackheart's Handsome Hat
, can be looted by everyone in the party—no matter the level. Use your connections to get a first-class summon to Vash’jir when a good friend or associate spots the mob. This item turns you into a spectral pirate gnome. If you prefer fishing to swimming, try your luck at the
in the hopes of getting
Kiefers Engelfisch
to redeem into
Glücksangelhut
.
New to 4.1 is the
Stumpfe Krone
, a BoE reward for completing
Eine glitzernde Beute
.
Amulets
Amulets aren’t visible on a character, but a well-chosen amulet is a mark of a discerning toon. While Jewelcrafters can make several necks that are great for PvP twinks, they don’t have much personality.
Gaunah
solves all your needs. Want to be better, stronger, faster?
Griftah
has the perfect tikbalang just for you, from
Seife an der Schleife
to
Talisman der wahren Schatzjagd
.
Kette aus Alligatorenzähnen
is found in
Sack voll Glitzerkram
, a reward from the Cataclysm fishing dailies. Originally just a trash item, it’s been changed recently to be equippable.
A tip from commenter Yuoflim: make your voice heard with
Modularer Stimmenverstärker
, made by engineers. It’s both stylish and practical!
Angelaufene silberne Halskette
has a 20% chance to be looted from
Flaches Grab
near
Hexendoktor Zum'rah
, the 3rd boss in
Zul'Farrak
. Perfect if your bank alt is an ‘antique dealer’ specializing in legacy items.
Standesmedaillon eines Schattenhammerkultisten
is an item used to summon Elemental Dukes in Silithus, which was part of an elaborate summoning system culminating in bosses that dropped raid-quality epics.
New to 4.1 is
Goldene Halskette
, a reward from
A Shiny Reward
.
Shoulder
Unfortunately, you need to be at least level 15 to equip any pair of shoulders besides the BoAs. But let’s face it, many low-level shoulder models are uninspiring, unlike the epic models that keep growing larger and larger each tier.
One exception is
Mantelung des Sonnenwendfests
, a reward from the
Sonnenwendfest
. Turning in 100
Brandblüte
nets you this flamboyant pair of shoulders.
Cloaks
Better off hidden. You’re best off using a BoA cape purchased from your main’s guild to show that your bank alt has wealthy benefactors.
Chest
Finding the perfect chestpiece is the most important part of dressing your bank alt. You’re only limited by your imagination and WoW’s required level on items! With the right accessories, even a
Ausgefranste Robe
can look amazing, but we’re going to focus on the items that take some effort to acquire.
Schwarze Glutseidenrobe
is the luxury robe of Cataclysm. Costing a BoP
Chaoskugel
to craft, befriend a tailor that enjoys heroics. It’s both scandalizing and classy at once. Mix and match with different shirts to change the look. Tailors can create several other BoE robes:
Einfaches schwarzes Kleid
,
Weißes Wollkleid
,
Weißes Hochzeitskleid
, and
Einfaches Kleid
.
Draenische Seidenroben
are sold by
Hakmud von Argus
, a Traveling Trader that rides around on
Zügel des Tundramammuts des Reisenden
. If you see someone mounted up, run over and buy it from him. Don’t tease
Modoru
like
Schildwache Süßquell
does; his grandmother’s robes are quite lovely.
There are several robes with unique models that drop from specific mobs in the starting zones—try collecting them all! They are
Violette Roben
,
Spinnennetzrobe
,
Schneebedeckte Robe
,
Scharlachrote Initiandenrobe
, and
Leichte Magierschmiedrobe
. There's reports that some are unavailable after Cataclysm, so play the AH just to be safe. We’ll include
Hexerrobe von Dalaran
as an honorary robe, even though it requires level 13, because it looks so awesome.
Schwesternkittel von Dalaran
has a similar purple tint.
By far the rarest chestpiece to acquire is the
Formeller Dangui
sold by
Geenia Sonnenfleck
in Moonglade. It’s rumored that it respawns every two months. In the meantime, you might get luckier with her other limited-supply robes:
Grüner Hochzeitshanbok
and
Roter traditioneller Hanbok
.
Don’t want a robe? Consider one of the harnesses sold by
Kiro
or
Sura Wildmähne
, or
Braune Leinenweste
and
Haliskanjackett
from tailoring.
Shirts
Shirts deserve their own post, but here’s a brief overview of the best tailoring and vendor picks.
Karandonna
, a stylish tribute NPC to Donna Karan, sells filigreed doublets and martial shirts in a variety of colors. They’re a bit pricey, but that’s the cost of exclusivity.
Another vendor in Dalaran,
Angelique Butler
, sells
Antiseptisch getränkter Verband
and
Wundverband
in the First-Aid building.
Broxel Goldgriff
, the souvenir vendor at the Argent Tournament, sells shirts commemorating each participating race.
Lisbeth Schneider
is the only vendor in the game who sells
Knallgelbes Hemd
and
Modisches schwarzes Hemd
. Her last name means tailor in German.
Tailors are an excellent resource—they can make shirts in practically every color and style.
Dunkellila Seidenhemd
, the color of epics, is from one of the rarest patterns in the game. There’s a series of
Workman
and
Lumberjack
shirts from uncommon Northrend patterns.
There’s also several shirts that are rare drops from mobs—
Deckmatrosenhemd
is one BoE that anyone cap equip.
Tabards
Tabards tend to spoil the effect of your carefully-planned outfit. Besides, your main wears enough tabards in heroics. However, there are a few interesting options.
Wams des Gefreiten
/
Wams des Spähers
only cost 50 honor to purchase and
Ritterfarben
/
Herold des Steingardisten
costs 100 honor. As a level 10, you can queue up for Battlegrounds to earn honor.
Wappenrock der Silberschwingen
/
Wappenrock des Kriegshymnenklans
from Warsong Gulch and
Wappenrock der Sturmlanzen
/
Wappenrock der Frostwölfe
from Alterac Valley can be purchased with 2,000+ honor and have no rep requirement. In the past, honor on alts was easy to acquire with
Belobigung von Tausendwinter
. However, with those removed, these tabards will take longer to acquire as they cost a good deal more than they used to.
Wappenrock des Entdeckers
can easily be acquired by flying on a friend’s
X-53 Reiserakete
around Northrend.
Tabards such as
Wappenrock von Orgrimmar
are also available from Quartermasters in capital cities with no rep requirement.
If your bank alt is a mage, they can equip the
Wappenrock der Kirin Tor
from Dalaran since all mages start off friendly with the Kirin Tor.
Wrist
Bracers should be discreet and coordinating with your fabulous shirt or robe. Put
Zaubermacht
on your bracers for absurdity.
Antiker Silbermanschettenknopf
are another rare reward from the
Bag of Fishing Treasures
. By far the best option for a sophisticated alt.
Ureinwohnerbänder
are the rarest part of the
Aboriginal
set, for a vibrant theme.
Geisterhafte Armschienen
is a drop from a Tirisfal rare mob,
Gepeinigter Geist
.
New to 4.1 are
Edelsteinbesetzte Armreife
from
A Shiny Reward
. These bracers are gold with green gems, very distinctive!
Hands
You aren’t a poor freezing clerk like Bob Cratchitt—ditch the gloves.
Satingefütterte Handschuhe
sound luxurious, but instead show off your rings and bracelets.
Waist
While belts can be equally challenging to track down, they don’t look visually exciting. It’s not mandatory for your bank alt, but here’s some options if you must sacrifice fashion for completion.
Zerlumpter Stoffgürtel
and
Gewebter Gürtel
are only sold by Horde vendors, so Alliance players may find it whimsical.
The Goblin starting zone features several vendors that sell unique items (in name, although perhaps not in looks).
Durchnässter Stoffgürtel
and
Durchtränkter Ledergürtel
are exclusively sold by
Sally "Schrotti" Sandschrauber
.
Chawg
sells
Geborgener Strickgürtel
.
Pants
If you’re wearing a robe, the style of your pants is unimportant. However, if you opted for a more modern shirt, the style of your pants (or kilt!) is very important.
Einfache Leinenhose
or
Sollidens Beinkleider
make good blue jeans for a casual Friday look.
Haliskanpantalons
or
Smokinghose
from
Schneiderei
give a more formal appearance.
A tip from commenter TKitch:
Zerfetzter Ogerlendenschurz
may look like a Tarzan-esque loincloth, but it’s incredibly rare currently. It was looted from
Gordunnierdhügel
as part of the Horde-only quest
Gordunnikobalt
. Unfortunately, that quest is no longer around in Cataclysm, so watch the AH.
This guide mostly focuses on cloth, but
Primitiver Kilt
and
Primitiver Kilt
are striking leather kilts from Horde shaman starting-zone gear that look great with a harness.
Einfacher Kilt
is a versatile skirt from
Tailoring
that matches most any shirt.
Feet
Others may only see your toes peep out from under a robe, but it’s the effort that counts.
Several races have stylish boots as starter gear, such as
Rekrutenstiefel
, the default boots for several warrior races. Other boots can be enchanted with
Schwache Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit
which will shave off seconds of running!
A perennial favorite is
Gestrickte Sandalen
, available from select merchants.
Ausgehschuhe
are also an elegant alternative.
The truly dedicated will try to win the
Angelwettstreit der Kalu'ak
and obtain
Stiefel der Bucht
, boots with a built-in hearth to Booty Bay. Make sure you skill up your fishing first!
As a bonus, go sit down next to
Gussi Glanzschein
, the Dalaran cobbler. He’ll shine your shoes and buff you for the next hour with
Schuhglanz
, making your feet sparkle.
Rings
You need to show off your bling. Discreetly, as most rings have no visible effect upon your character. But you still need to flaunt it under the radar. Oh, and whatever you do, don’t buy
Eckiger Zirkonring
and pretend it’s a
Elitäres Elementiumsiegel
--everyone will know the difference.
An easy bling fix comes from
Gappy Silberzahn
, self-titled <Bling Merchant>. He sells the classic
Fehlerloser Diamantsolitär
, the less romantic
Winzigkleiner Diamantring
, the unromantic
Cubic Zirconia Ring
, the apologetic
Silbernes Piffenyband
, the flashy
Der Felsen
, and apt
Stimmungsring
poking fun at xp color bars. Several other vendors stock these rings if Gappy won’t sell you bling.
To match your
Tarnished Silver Necklace
, get a
Angelaufener Silberring
from
Kiste mit Fleisch
, a reward for completing any of the Shattrath cooking dailies.
Curse yourself by equipping
Der Eine Ring
, a very rare catch from fishing. Or take a traditional sentimental route with
Goldener Trauring
, once again found in the
Bag of Fishing Treasures
from the Shattrath dailies.
Herrschaftsring eines Schattenhammerkultisten
only works for DK bank alts, but it's a very rare item from
Zwielichtfürst Everun
, a rare mob in Silithus. Equipping this item allows you to bypass many of the elaborate steps in summoning lvl 60 raid bosses. However, the gear is obsolete, so you might as well keep it instead.
But the true mark of a bank alt connoisseur is found in the insanely expensive and limited wares of
Haris Pilton
.
Goldenes Eterniumband
costs 3000g and shows your eternal love for luxury. Or buy her two
Saphirring für den kleinen Finger
s for a more youthful look. The most dedicated bank alt won’t think twice before buying the
Noble’s Elementium Signet
—it’s the only ring in the game currently that sparkles, plus with the right reputation, you can buy it from
Qixdi Gutstich
in Booty Bay for a discount, skipping Haris and her rude ghost friend
Ricole Nichie
. In 4.1, there is another visible ring option, but it's BoP and you need to be 85 to complete
A Shiny Reward
:
Black Ice
.
Trinkets
Trinkets are few, but obtaining any of these will demonstrate your bank alt is dedicated.
By studying
Ingenieurskunst
on the side, you’ll learn how to thwart mages and charm mechanicals in style.
Schwacher Rekombobulator
is learned from a schematic sold by
Quietschspross
in Ratchet.
Gnomenuniversalfernbedienung
is learned from a schematic dropped by
Robogenieur Thermadraht
and also sold by
Ritzelschnitt Zahnrad
and
Jinky Pfuschelfix
.
A truly lucky fishing aficionado can use
Angelhaken des Anglermeisters
, the ultimate reward from the
Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza
. Outpace the envious crowds on the street and swim to your destination. Commenter mostpop points out that since anyone can level fishing now, a bank alt should try to pick up the
Titansiegel von Dalaran
and
Riesige Kanalratte
.
Show off your ruthlessness by farming up
Großmeister der Arena
at the Gurubashi Arena. Collect 12
Meister der Arena
from the
Arenaschatztruhe
which spawns every three hours. Pair it with
Insigne der Allianz
/
Insigne der Horde
for the low price of 55 honor (via Windyote).
Weapon
You wouldn’t want to start a fight and risk injury, but it’s good to look prepared with the right weapon. Besides mailing starting-zone weapons between alts, consider these more unconventional choices.
Raelis Morgenstern
sells an assortment of common-quality weapons more interesting than your usual starter-zone fare:
Arkangeschmiedete Axt
,
Arkangeschmiedeter Langdolch
,
Arkangeschmiedeter Streitkolben
,
Arkangeschmiedetes Kurzschwert
,
Manasammelstab
, and
Steifer Kurzbogen
. Maybe fish up
Zerbrochene Weinflasche
from the Sludge Fen if things get ugly or get
Verrostete Heugabel
in the DK starter zone if trade chat is unruly.
Or, you can look so absurd, your enemies will be confused and flee. Use the following zone drops:
Bauernschaufel
,
Bauernbesen
, or
Bergbauschaufel eines Kobolds
.
If all goes wrong, dazzle your enemies with
Gehstock mit Diamantspitze
, a common reward from fishing dailies. While it looks like a staff, it counts as a 1-hander so any class can equip it.
Off-hand Frills
Offhands bring whimsy and humor to even the most generic outfits. There’s wine glasses, flowers, fish, and more to choose from.
Christi Stockton
sells
Weinglas
and
Rotweinglas
to complement fine dining for any occasion.
Verschnörkelter Trinkkrug
from the
Bag of Fishing Dailies
is good for more casual meals.
Lilie von Stratholme
is available from
Sophie Aaren
, a vendor in
Das Ausmerzen von Stratholme
. Make sure to visit her before starting the event. She also sells a variety of other bouquets common to florists in capital cities such as
Felicia Gump
.
Schwarzer Rosenstrauß
is the most luxurious bouquet, but there’s a certain charm to
Einfache Wildblumen
as well.
Dunkelmondblume
is a carnival offhand available from
5 Lose - Dunkelmond-Blume
, for when your bank alt feels like supporting the wild side.
Send those rare offhand fish you’ve caught on your main for
Einer, der nicht entkam
to your bank alt. Or try fishing up
Alter Fuchs
or
Alter Eisenkiefer
near the AH.
Blauer Funkler
,
Roter Funkler
, and
Weißer Funkler
are only available from special NPCs with the <Holiday Fireworks Vendor> tag on July 4th on US realms and September 30th on EU realms.
Like the
Ruby Shades
, there are several vanity off-hand frills no longer available from Shattrath vendors. Back when
Griftah
was briefly exiled from the Lower City for selling dubious wares, he sold
Terokkarflieder
and
Feiner Schäferstock
complete with snarky flavor text. Keep an eye out for these on the AH.
Holidays
There are so many vanity items from holidays, it deserves its own section. Sadly, not all items are obtainable by low-level toons, but most are! While many max level players are tired of the same-old holidays, completing quests on a low-level toon is a fresh and challenging approach. Have a warlock friend or someone from your main's guild grouped in party for
to speed things up and instantly arrive at your location (via glyneth). As usual, mix and match for the most stylish result. Remember, if it’s hard-to-obtain, it’s good.
Mondfest
Valadar Sternensang
sells several festive robes and pantsuits, for the cost of five
Münze der Urahnen
. To an 85, it’s not very exciting, but your level 10 will need many summons or a good deal of time spent running to collect them all.
Festtagskleid
and
Festtagsanzug
are the BoE option crafted by tailors.
Liebe liegt in der Luft
Reizendes schwarzes Kleid
, once very rare, is now the ubiquitous dress from this holiday. It’s stunning, but along with the other rewards from
Karton 'Reizendes Kleid'
and
Karton 'Abendanzug'
, perhaps too common for the discerning banker.
Nobelgartenfest
is the perfect achievement for your bank alt. It can be completed by even a level 1, and what better title to denote generations of wealth than <the Noble>?
Frühlingsrobe
and
Elegantes Kleid
are striking robes,
Frühlingsreif
is silly and overdone,
Eierkorb
has a unique graphic, and
Frühlingsblumen
is the only bouquet of flowers that can actually be equippable as a main-hand.
Sonnenwendfest
Midsummer offers a fun holiday set: the
Mantle of the Fire Festival
as highlighted earlier,
Sommerliche Tracht
, and
Sommerliche Sandalen
with a fun use. This set takes many
Burning Blossoms
to complete, so be diligent!
For the truly diabolic, sneak (or get summoned) into enemy cities and steal their flames to obtain the angelic
Krone des Sonnenwendfests
from
Der Lohn des Diebes
.
Braufest
Braufesttracht
series shows you’re not just any uptight banker. Redeem
Braufestmarke
from dailies to collect both sets.
While you’re sampling some brews, remember to pick up your stein of the year.
Belbis sichtverbessernde Romantikbrille
/
Blix' sichtverbessernde Romantikbrille
give you the buff
Rosarote Brille
. Everyone turns into male gnomes/tauren, some in quite revealing gear. Perhaps save these for when you aren’t calculating finances.
Schlotternächte
Don’t forget to trick-or-treat every hour at your favorite inn to have a chance at getting
Gruselhelm
. Most of the disguises are temporary, but surely as a clever bank alt, you can create your own original costume instead of relying on a premade one.
Tag der Toten
This is a short and minor holiday, but
Orangefarbenes Ringelblumenbouquet
is a vibrant offhand, especially when paired with the similar
Spring Flowers
for dual-wielding bouquets.
Pilgerfreudenfest
Give thanks for your yearly profits in Azeroth. Provide the catering for the holiday NPCs and receive the following apparel in return:
Pilgerhut
,
Pilgergewand
,
Pilgerkleid
,
Pilgerrobe
, and
Pilgerstiefel
.
Winterhauchfest
The
Wintergewandung
is campy and festive, but may require many world kills to obtain the hats, which are only guaranteed drops from several high-level bosses. Still, what else are you going to do when the banks are closed on holiday? Consider obtaining the winter clothes that are taught by the opposite faction.
Armor Vendors
If your bank alt has decided to sponsor a particular clothing brand and refuses to wear anything else, here are some unique armor sets and NPCs with allstar offerings.
There are several common-quality sets unique to a faction.
Jainthess Thelryn
is the only vendor who sells the
Light Cloth
and
Sun Cured
sets for a traditional blood-elf look.
Sally "Salvager" Sandscrew <Slightly Damp Salvage>
sells
Waterlogged Cloth
and
Drenched Leather
sets and
Chawg
sells
Recovered Knit
,
Salvaged Chain
, and
Water-Stained Leather
sets in the Goblin areas.
Woven
,
Battered Leather
,
Dirty Leather
, and
Tattered Cloth
sets are unique to Horde clothiers in a variety of both major and minor cities. For the alliance, the
Cracked
and
Thin Cloth
sets are unique. Vendors of both factions sell the
Knitted
,
Rough Leather
, and
Light Mail Armor
sets.
"Silbermond" Harry
found in Howling Fjord sells select blood-elf starting gear.
Thomas Yance
patrols around
Vorgebirge des Alten Hügellands
and sells starting gear for several races.
Lucille Burgner
and other robe vendors sell distinctive robes such as
Schlichte Robe
and
Doppelt genähte Roben
.
