For a more detailed introduction to this guide, please read the Retribution BiS guide for the 10-19 bracket. I go into more depth there on stuff like what race you should choose and how to navigate these guides. So, without further ado, the best-in-slot gear for 40-49 Retribution Paladins for PvP and PvE in Classic WoW.

So if your focus is on Player versus Player action and if we choose from above the most useful in PvP (those that increase stamina, strength, armor, and agility), then your toon should look like this: Retribution Paladin BiS 40-49 PvP.
If you’re in a PvE mindset, my recommended best-in-slot items would make you look like this: Retribution Paladin BiS 40-49 PvE.
I built my Retribution set as a mishmash of both worlds, around an aesthetic I find awesome: Retribution Paladin 40-49 BiS Alternative Gear Set.
