Because I am Horde (and Horde only ^_^), I am not able to get my mitts on the Alliance tabards that will fit the part of this outfit. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=45574\" target=_blank>Stormwind Tabard<\/a> is an almost identical match to the one worn by the guard NPC &#8211; it is bought with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=44990\" target=_blank>Champion Seals<\/a> through the Argent Tournament. There are two other PvP tabards, should anyone not be able to obtain the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=45574\" target=_blank>Stormwind Tabard<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=15198\" target=_blank>Knight&#8217;s Colors<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=15196\" target=_blank>Private&#8217;s Tabard<\/a>; however, they lack the lion emblem even though they are similar in color to the NPC&#8217;s tabard.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\nWaddell with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=7465\">Knight&#8217;s Crest<\/a> equipped.\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<span class=\"frame-outer  shutterset\"><span><span><span><span><a href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/images\/swcg3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"shutterset\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/images\/swcg3.jpg\" width=200 height=150><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>You will notice that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=68\" target=_blank>Stormwind City Guard&#8217;s<\/a> shield is kite-shaped. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=7465\" target=_blank>Knight&#8217;s Crest<\/a> doesn&#8217;t have the gold shading, and is a rectangular shield, but, at least it has the blue lion emblem on it. There are a few alternatives to this one: The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=6320\" target=_blank>Commander&#8217;s Crest<\/a> is a boss drop out of Shadowfang Keep; it has the same blue lion emblem, and it also has the gold shading&#8230;but, it is still a rectangular shield. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=1203\" target=_blank>Aegis of Stormwind<\/a> matches the shape of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=68\" target=_blank>Stormwind City Guard&#8217;s<\/a> shield, has the blue lion,&#8230;but lacks the gold shading. And, it&#8217;s rather hard to come by, as it is a very low world drop. Alliance players can get this exact same model through a reward from Duskwood quest: the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=6223\" target=_Blank>Crest of Darkshire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wow&#8230;those gloves don&#8217;t match at all, Kirina!&#8221; I know, I know. They&#8217;re actually part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=5595\" target=_blank>Ironforge Guard<\/a> outfit I&#8217;m working on (just waiting for the helm to come into my possession for that outfit ^_^). Some people use the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=14551\" target=_blank>Edgemaster&#8217;s Handguards<\/a> in their outfits &#8211; they are not an exact match in style and color to the NPC&#8217;s, but, they do match the color of the boots; however, they are also a very rare world-drop epic. One could even go down the route with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=7919\" target=_blank>Heavy Mithril Gauntlet<\/a>&#8230;they still don&#8217;t match the NPC&#8217;s, but, at least they match the shoulders ^_^. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=24918#.\" target=_blank>Grimscale Belt<\/a> can also be replaced for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=2424\" target=_blank>Brigandine Belt<\/a>, who has a similar blue stripe to the one found in the NPC&#8217;s outfit; however, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=2424\" target=_blank>Brigandine Belt<\/a> is gold, while the NPC&#8217;s belt is more silver. And, while the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=7918\" target=_blank>Heavy Mithril Shoulders<\/a> match in the style of shoulder armor to that of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=68\" target=_blank>Stormwind City Guard&#8217;s<\/a>, they are more purple in color. Some better alternatives would be the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=8086\" target=_blank>Light Plate Shoulderpads<\/a> (they match the boot color), or it&#8217;s uncommon equivalent, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=24932#.\" target=_blank>Ango&#8217;rosh Pauldrons<\/a>. Even still, nothing is an exact match to the Guard&#8217;s outfit.<\/p>\n<p>You can easily adapt this outfit to be a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=1976\" target=_blank>Stormwind City Patroller<\/a> &#8211; just equip a lantern, such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=9393\" target=_blank>Beacon of Hope<\/a> (or its less rare <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?compare=6341;27714;30857;5323;42796;23844\" target=_blank>equivalents<\/a>), instead of a sword, and, there you have it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tagalongfashion.blogspot.com\/\" target=_blank>Cogspinner<\/a> submitted a great variation of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=68\" target=_blank>Stormwind City Guard<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/wowrpc.waddellconsulting.com\/?page_id=1856\" target=_blank>See it here!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowfashionguru.com\/\" target=_blank>Wow Fashion Guru<\/a> has had an awesome take on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=68\" target=_blank>Stormwind City Guard<\/a> outfit, too. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowfashionguru.com\/2009\/06\/22\/uniform-stormwind-guard\/\" target=_blank>See it here! <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<center>Interested in showing us your own <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=68\" target=_blank>Stormwind City Guard<\/a> outfit?
