Void Tier 2 Recolors: Every Class Set from Void Assaults (Patch 12.0.5)
What's New in Patch 12.0.5
The Patch 12.0.5 content drop bundled three player-facing additions: the Void Assaults event rotation, Void Strikes (higher-difficulty variants), and the Void Incursions system that acts as a weekly capstone. What tied all three together for the community was a long-overdue transmog release: 13 Void-themed Tier 2 recolors, one per class, all built on the iconic Classic-era Tier 2 silhouettes that veteran players have been wearing at transmog vendors since Legion.
The 20th Anniversary recolor line has always been built on the Tier 2 (Blackwing Lair) silhouettes — the original November 2024 event delivered one color palette, the event extension added a second, and Patch 12.0.5 delivers the third: the Void variant. Each class now has three distinct T2 color variants in total. Patch 12.0.5 is also the first time since 2004 that the Paladin Tier 2 has a dark purple variant — that detail alone dominated the community reaction. The Wowhead news headline, "Purple Judgment Finally Returns," was the most-upvoted WoW thread on Reddit for three days after the patch dropped. These recolors apply to retail Midnight only; they do not appear in Classic or any other game mode.
Why "Purple Judgment Finally Returns" Matters
For context: the original Judgement Armor was added to Blackwing Lair in 2005. It's the most recognizable Paladin silhouette in WoW history — the golden winged helm with the halo over the head, the wing-shaped pauldrons, the purple-and-gold robe beneath plate. Despite Paladins traditionally being Light-themed, the original Judgement actually already used purple in its base — it's the gold trim that defines the set's holy reading.
For twenty years, players have asked for a Judgement variant that inverts the color story: drop the gold, make it dark, lean into the Shadow Paladin fantasy that technically exists in lore but has never had a proper transmog expression. Several community projects have produced private-server recolors or fan art mockups. Patch 12.0.5's Void's Judgement is the official version, and it hits every note — void-infused amethyst replaces gold, the halo is replaced with a ring of cold-blue voidfire, and the silhouette is preserved perfectly. Every Paladin player on the AccountShark marketplace with an active subscription is going to farm this.
How to Earn Void Tier 2 Recolors
The sets drop from the three-tier Void Assaults / Void Strikes / Void Incursions event system introduced in Patch 12.0.5. Full details are in Wowhead's Void Assaults reward guide, but the short version:
All 13 Void Tier 2 Recolor Sets
Below is every class's Void recolor with preview images, the original Tier 2 source, and thematic notes. Sets are ordered from the highest-impact reveal (Paladin) outward to the newer classes that never had a Classic T2 baseline.
Void's Judgement
The headliner of the entire release. Players have asked for a purple Judgement since the original launched 20 years ago, and this is finally it — the gold trim replaced with void-infused amethyst, the halo of light on the helmet traded for a swirling ring of shadow. The outline and silhouette are preserved; the color story is inverted from radiant gold to tempered void purple. If you rolled Paladin specifically for Judgement's silhouette, this is the set you're going to farm first.
Void Nemesis
The original Nemesis was already dark — crimson with black accents — so the Void recolor goes deep purple with blue voidfire highlights around the shoulders and horns. Preserves the intimidating silhouette of the original while leaning hard into the Midnight void aesthetic. A strong contender for the best-looking set in the entire release.
Voidcedence
Wordplay aside, this is one of the cleaner thematic matches — a Priest set recolored to void embraces the Shadow lore identity that's always lurked beneath Priest's holy surface. Deep purples with pale-blue highlights along the robe's edges, and a darkened halo that reads more like an eclipse than a sun.
Void Storms
The electric blue highlights of the original Ten Storms convert naturally to voidstorm purple-blue lightning. The silhouette of the totems and shoulder storms is retained; the lightning motif just shifts from elemental sky blue to void-touched cosmic purple. Reads as an ascended-state Ten Storms rather than a corrupted one.
Voidrage
Preserves Stormrage's antler-helm silhouette while swapping the lush green-gold tones for void purples and blacks. The antlers themselves pick up blue voidfire at the tips. It's the most obvious transformation — Stormrage as if the Emerald Dream were invaded by the void — and it lands well for Balance players running the Midnight dungeon content.
Voidwind
The Netherwind crown gets a voidstorm halo effect — the iconic spinning circles around the head pick up purple and deep blue instead of the original's bright blue/white. Arcane and Frost Mages will have strong thematic fit here since the recolor reads as late-game Void Mage fantasy.
Voidfang
Bloodfang was already dark-red-and-black — the Void recolor shifts the reds to deep void purples and the gold trim to cold blue. Retains the long-pawed hood silhouette that made Bloodfang the most iconic Rogue set in WoW history. Assassination specifically benefits from the darker palette.
Voidwrath
The original Battlegear of Wrath was all crimson and gold — the Void recolor goes deep purple plate with black accents and cold voidfire along the edges of the iconic pauldrons and horns. Feels less like an alternate color and more like a completely alternate identity. Arms and Fury Warriors have the most thematic alignment with the heavy-horned aesthetic.
Voidstalker
Dragonstalker's scaled mail texture converts beautifully to voidscale — deep purple plates with cold blue highlights that catch the light like bruised metal. The spike motifs on the shoulders and helm retain their silhouette but pick up voidfire emissives. Naturally pairs with any purple or blue pet model.
Void Rider
Since Death Knight didn't exist in Classic and had no original T2, the Void Rider set is built on a cross-class plate T2 silhouette and dyed in the void palette. Black plate with deep purple and red voidfire along the edges. Leans hard into the Unholy DK identity — reads as if a Death Knight were ridden by a void horror.
Void Acolyte
Monk's Void Acolyte set borrows from the shared Classic leather T2 identity and voidstorm-dyes it. Deep purple leather with cold blue highlights that emphasize the martial-arts silhouette of the shoulder and chest pieces. A rare opportunity to put a Monk in something that doesn't look like it came from Pandaria.
Voidwalker
DH's class color is already purple, so the Void recolor leans even darker — deep void purples, cold blue voidfire along the wing-like shoulder elements, and black trim on the tabard. Pairs naturally with the new Devourer spec's void-caster identity.
Void-warden
The Void-warden set is the most original of the recolors since Evoker is a post-Dragonflight class that was never adapted to a Classic T2 silhouette. Deep-purple draconic mail with cold-blue voidfire along the edges. Leans into the Augmentation/Devastation aesthetic — reads like a dragonkin cast in void rather than bronze, black, or red.
Three Color Variants of the Anniversary T2 Line
The 20th Anniversary recolor line is built on the Tier 2 (Blackwing Lair) silhouettes and now has three color variants per class. Void is the third color, added in Patch 12.0.5 Midnight. A full chart of the line:
The critical thing to know: all three variants share the same T2 silhouette — the familiar Blackwing Lair shapes (Judgement helm, Nemesis horns, Stormrage antlers, etc.). Only the color palette changes between variants. The first two colors sunset after the 2024/2025 anniversary event windows closed; the Void variant is currently farmable through Midnight's Void Assaults system. If you want the full 3-color collection of a class's T2 silhouette, you need an account that captured the first two during their event windows plus the Void color farmed now during its own availability window.
Farming Priority: Which Void T2 Set Should You Farm First?
A practical order, based on community feedback + the actual rarity dynamics of the drops:
Preserving Your Collection
Two practical things to do now if you plan on collecting any of these sets:
- Farm now, not later. Blizzard's pattern for event-gated transmog is to make it unobtainable after a limited window — typically 6-12 months. The Void Assaults event is live right now but it almost certainly won't be forever. If a set speaks to you, invest farm time before it converts to an "unobtainable" label.
- Track which pieces you've collected per class. The Void Assaults token loot pattern is random-slot, so you'll end up with duplicates of your first few drops. Use the in-game collections tab or a tool like Collectinator to confirm missing slots before committing another farming session to the same class.
If you'd rather skip the grind and own an account with the full 3-color Anniversary T2 collection already unlocked — original, Recolor, and Void variants across all classes — AccountShark marketplace accounts are available with complete transmog libraries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Void Tier 2 recolors obtainable right now?
Yes. As of Patch 12.0.5 the full Void Assaults / Strikes / Incursions event is live, and all 13 class sets are farmable through those activities. There is no current sunset date announced, but Blizzard's typical pattern for event-gated transmog is a 6-12 month availability window, so don't treat the sets as permanently available. Farm them while the event is active.
Which classes get Void T2 recolors?
All 13: Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Evoker, Hunter, Mage, Monk, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior. Each class gets one dedicated set built on either its Classic Tier 2 silhouette (for classes that had one) or a shared cross-class T2 base dyed in the void palette.
Is "Void's Judgement" the same silhouette as the original Judgement Armor?
Yes. The silhouette — helm shape, shoulders, chest, robes, all of it — is identical to the original Classic Judgement Armor. Only the color palette is changed: the gold trim becomes void-amethyst purple, the holy halo becomes a ring of voidfire, and the overall lighting shifts from warm to cool. If you love the original's silhouette, you'll love Void's Judgement.
How long does it take to farm a full 8-piece Void T2 set?
Typical completion is 3-5 weeks with a mix of Void Assaults, Strikes, and Incursions activity. Pure Void Assaults farming (tokens + random-slot rewards) trends toward 6-8 weeks per class due to RNG on slot pieces. Void Incursions guarantees a piece per weekly clear, which provides a predictable baseline even if Void Strikes RNG is poor.
Do Void T2 sets work in Classic WoW?
No. The Void Tier 2 recolors are retail-only (WoW Midnight content). The AccountShark transmog selector hides the 20th Anniversary category (including these Void recolors) from Classic mode since they can't be earned or transmogged in Classic.
Will the Void T2 sets become unobtainable like the earlier color variants?
Probably, based on Blizzard's event-gated transmog history. The first two colors of the Anniversary T2 line (November 2024 event and the late 2024/early 2025 Recolor extension) both moved to "unobtainable" status after their event windows closed. The Void variant has no announced sunset date yet, but treat its availability as limited-time. This is also why accounts with the Void color already farmed are going to appreciate in market value once the availability window closes — anyone collecting the full 3-color Anniversary T2 line later will need those pre-farmed accounts since Void is the only variant still active today.
Can I mix Void T2 pieces with regular T2 pieces?
Yes. WoW's transmog system treats each slot independently, and the Void T2 items share the same equip slots as their original T2 counterparts. You can mix and match — e.g., Void's Judgement helm with the original Judgement Armor chest — if you want a partial-void look rather than a full set.
Do Void T2 sets have different stats than regular T2?
No, these are transmog appearances only. The underlying item stats scale to Midnight current-tier levels when farmed from the Void event (so they're usable as gear until you replace them), but the transmog appearance is the actual prize. Stats become irrelevant once you hit Season 1 Mythic+ / raid gear.
