'''Tabard''' refers to a type of [[clothing]] bearing a symbol or design and worn in the tabard [[equipment slot]] over a character's chest armor. It is a purely cosmetic item intended to add individuality to a character's look, similar to a [[shirt]].

== Overview ==

==Source==
  +
This item was a PvP reward, and could be purchased for {{Cost|h=15300|eots=20}} from {{NPC||Sergeant Thunderhorn|Weapons Quartermaster}} in [[Hall of Legends]].
−
Historically, a tabard serves both as a sleeveless shirt or coat (often over armor), and as a means of displaying heraldry (as [[Wikipedia:Livery|livery]]). For players, it can show membership in a guild or (for roleplay purposes) allegiance to a particular group, boast of deeds performed, or simply be decorative.
 
   
  +
==Patch changes==
−
The only tabard available to players upon the release of ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' was the [[guild]] tabard. The release of [[battleground]]s and the [[honor system]] saw a variety of new tabards introduced, identifying a player's [[rank]] or standing with a particular battleground [[faction]]. The [[Scourge Invasion]] also added a small number of tabards. In ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]]'', each faction in [[Outland]] was given its own tabard, available at {{reputation|exalted}} status. ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]]'' continues this trend, but has lower (or no) reputation requirements and instead utilizes faction tabards in a system known as [[championing]] for farming [[reputation]].

*{{Patch 2.0.1|note=Added.}}
−
[[Patch 3.0.2|Patch 3.0]] introduced the [[achievement]] system, which includes rewards for tabard collectors. Upon obtaining a tabard, a [[general achievements|general achievement]] called "Represent" is granted; subsequent achievement points are granted at ten and twenty-five tabards, with the latter granting the [[Tabard of the Achiever]]. There is no current plan to alleviate the amount of bag space taken up by tabards as has been done with [[mount]] and [[Companion|non-combat pet]] collections (which grant similar achievements), but Blizzard has said it is a possibility in the future. However, ''keeping'' tabards is not required for the achievement; only equipping them. You can equip and sell or delete each tabard as you get it, and it will still count toward the achievement. Some tabards can be discarded and repurchased or reacquired at a tabard vendor. These generally include rewards from non-repeatable quests and achievements (such as the {{loot|uncommon|Green Trophy Tabard of the Illidari}}).

−
== Tabard vendors ==
 
−
There are, generally, two types of vendor that tabards can be purchased from.
 
−  
−
Tabards associated with a faction are almost always available from the [[Quartermaster]]s for that faction.
 
−  
−
[[Visitor's Center]]s in most major cities have tabard vendors who sell Guild tabards. They also sell:
 
−
* Burning Crusade faction tabards
 
−
* Honor rank tabards
 
−
* Battleground tabards
 
−
These additional tabards have the same purchase restrictions and costs from the visitor's center vendor as they do from the relevant quartermaster.
 
−  
−
== Guild tabards ==
 
−
Guild tabards can be purchased for {{cost|1}} from a [[guildmaster]] in the [[Visitor's Center]] of any faction capital [[city]]. [[Guild leader]]s can customize the symbol and color scheme of the guild's tabard for {{cost|10}}.
 
−  
−
See [[#External links|below]] for web-based tabard design tools.
 
−  
−
Once your tabard crest has been created, it will take another {{cost|10}} every time you wish to make a change to it.
 
−  
−
== Honor rank tabards ==
 
−
Honor [[Ranking|rank]] tabards are an [[honor reward]] for [[PvP]] fighting under the [[Honor System]] ([[battleground]]s).
 
−  
−
Enlisted tabards were available for {{cost|1}} at [[Ranking|rank]] one ({{Alliance Icon Small}}[[Private]] and {{Horde Icon Small}} [[Scout]]).
 
−
*{{loot|common|Private's Tabard}} is blue with a gold lion design on the front of it, essentially what [[Stormwind]] guards wear.
 
−
*{{loot|common|Scout's Tabard}} is red (more accurately a very deep orange) with the [[Horde]]'s emblem and white trim.
 
−  
−
{{loot|common|Private's Tabard}} and {{loot|common|Scout's Tabard}} are purchasable from all tabard vendors (except [[Dalaran]]'s) for 2,517 [[Honor point]]s.

−  
−
Officers' tabards were available for {{cost|4}} at [[Ranking|rank]] six ({{Alliance Icon Small}}[[Knight (rank)|Knight]] and {{Horde Icon Small}} [[Stone Guard]]). Somewhat more glorified, these look similar to the enlisted tabards, but are significantly more detailed.
 
−
*{{loot|common|Knight's Colors}}
 
−
*{{loot|common|Stone Guard's Herald}}
 
−  
−
Similarly, these tabards are now purchasable for 3,511 [[Honor point]]s.

== Battleground tabards ==
 
−
Battleground tabards can be obtained at various reputation with each faction through vendor purchase or quest completion. These tabards have a unique appearance.
 
−  
−
[[Alterac Valley]] tabards are available from the Supply Officers at the entrance to either BG for 15,000 ([[Honor Points]]).
 
−
*{{loot|common|Stormpike Battle Tabard}} has a red backdrop with golden trim, with the emblem of a spear with a golden bolt at the bottom.
 
−
*{{loot|common|Frostwolf Battle Tabard}} has a blue backdrop with white trim, bearing a wolf's head at the center, with a crude shield covering it, both made out of blue and white, and with ice-colored and shaped symbols signifying the cold of Alterac Valley.

−
{{loot|epic|Primal Hakkari Tabard}} is a tabard that cannot be worn. It is used to create the [[Zandalar Tribe]] {{quality|epic}} chest-piece for paladins, druids, and shamans.
 
−  
−
Although shields are often used to display heraldry, they have more than cosmetic purpose in the game. Not all characters can wield a shield, and the attributes of a shield are intrinsically linked to the appearance of that shield. For roleplay purposes, tabards are superior in that all characters can wear one, and they have no effect upon other abilities of that character.
