This set uses the green (officially "Gray") version of the "Horde B2 Plate" artwork, one of a number of mail sets that use plate artwork. It forms a complete six-piece set of the art.

Like many older sets, there's no artwork for the helm or shoulders. None was ever created. While there are "Protector" pieces for the head and shoulders, they use artwork from other sources and so aren't listed here. Just pick whatever you think fits as there are no pieces designed to match.

There are three other colours of this set in the artwork database, but sadly none of the others are available in the game as sets. There's only two chests for the bright magenta (officially "Red") set: Deathdealer Breastplate and Champion's Deathdealer Breastplate. A full set of this would certainly have stood out, to say the least.

The remaining two colours don't seem to have any pieces in the game at all: "Brass" is actually kind of orange with a dull magenta tone over it, and "Gold" is actually bright green-yellow.

The missing shoulder item is Protector Pads. Despite not fitting perfectly as mentioned above, they are close enough in color scheme.

If you check 3D model on an orc female, you'll notice that "It's not easy being green". :)

You should defnitely try the Spaulders of the Protectorate to match this set! And a Brown Linen Shirt for that final touch. ;)

Love this set, it gives off a primal look. My hunter wears this as a boss! :D

The protector pieces have no recorded drop outside Kalimdor and its dungeons. And should therefore be classified as a continent drop

Not a very widely used term, but some uncommon or better random drops are actually restricted by continent.

Also the pieces have no recorded drop from chests or lockboxes. In or outside Kalimdor.

Protector is a type of military unit used by Night Elves and Tauren
Mulgore Protector
Thunder Bluff Protector
Cenarion Protector
Protector Endolar
Protector Arminon
Protector Dorinar

Protector can also refer to Ancient protectors also found in Kalimdor.

There's a total of ten protector pieces:
Item level 48-54.
Required level 43-49.
Mail armor, cloak and shield.

Protector Mail
Protector Breastplate
Protector Legguards
Protector Gauntlets
Protector Waistband
Protector Ankleguards
Protector Armguards

Not part of the Protector Mail
Protector Buckler
Protector Helm
Protector Pads part of Felstone Mail (Recolor)
Protector Cape

Currently the items required for the Protector Mail are fairly valuable with two exceptions. The first exception being Protector Breastplate which is cheaper due to being interchangeable with Chestguard of the Stormspire. And the second exception being Protector Armguards most likely due to a lack of interest for bracers, it should be noted though that the bracers are very much visible on the set unlike other sets where they are sometimes covered by the gloves.

Also note the Protector Pads part of Felstone Mail (Recolor) which also is valuable due to belonging to another moderately popular transmog set.

Due to the shared name, armor type, loot type and item level I feel it's appropriate to group together all protector items even if some doesn't belong in the transmog set.
