I adore one aspect of WoW: Transmogrification.

The Basic Brawler

Want to look like a simple monk but don’t want to default to the monk baby land look? There’s a solution! Run around covered in too many bandages!

(Please read the notes at the bottom of the post. One of the items is rather tricky to obtain.)

Set Armor Type: Leather

Full Set Faction: Alliance and Horde

Class Types: Any leather wearing class

Minimum level for the full set: 100

Set Totality: 7/9 or 78% (Back and shoulders missing)

Set Originality: 6/7 or 86%

For Roleplay?: ...What monk wouldn’t wear this?

Pieces:

Head - Landlubber Headband, Quest “Mok’rash the Cleaver”

Chest - Wild Gladiator’s Chestgaurd, PvP Vendor (Alliance and Horde)

Bracers - Primal Gladiator’s Bindings of Cruelty, PvP Vendor (Alliance and Horde.)

Hands - McCree’s Sparring Gloves, Quest “Manhunt” (Alliance only)

Belt - Conductor’s Multi-Pocket Girdle, Drop (Mythic Blackrock Foundry)

Legs - Heavy Clefthoof Leggings, Crafted, AH (27k+ Gold)

Feet - Wild Gladiator’s Boots of Victory, PvP Vendor (Alliance and Horde)

Notes:

1. I’ve added links for all vendors and quests. All links are to WoWhead.

2. The quest for the Landlubber headband comes from a neutral NPC and therefore should be available to both Alliance and Horde. Though I don’t expect many people to appreciate the headpiece so it may not matter at all.

3. There are several items with exactly the same model and color as McCree’s Sparring Gloves. All of them come from quests in low-level zones on both Alliance and Horde side. The “Same model as” tab should be helpful in your search to find the best fit for you.

4. The price of the Heavy Clefthoof Leggings is rather ridiculous since it should only take an hour to gather the right mats if you already have the reputation needed to buy the recipe. I will also note that I only found these on the AH on Moongaurd (an RP server) which probably explains the pricing. The one non-RP server I did check did not have any of this item listed on the AH. You may have to make these yourself no matter what.

5. I did not include any specific weapon since it is a matter of taste. The weapon shown is the Vampiric Handscythes (drop, AH 100+ Gold). I like these weapons since they aren’t obvious in combat and don’t show at all out of combat, adding to the aura of not needing weapons to kick ass.

Blue/Orange Leather Slutmog

Everyone has dressed their female and male characters unwholesomely at least once. However, usually, it makes no logical sense in the context of lore. Until we got demon hunters! This is Iois Foulbane. The edgiest demon hunter of the Emerald Nightmare.

Set Armor Type: Leather

Full Set Faction: Alliance and Horde

Class Types: Demon Hunter (see notes)

Minimum level for full set: 110

Set Totality: 8/9 or 89% (Back missing)

Set Originality: 7/8 or 87%

For Roleplay?: Sure. Who needs practical armor?

Pieces:

Head - Sorka’s Nightshade Cowl, Drop (Normal Blackrock Foundry)

Shoulder - Deep Walker Paulders, Drop (Heroic Highmaul)

Chest - Tunic of Unwavering Devotion, Drop (Normal Nighthold)

Bracers - Skystalker’s Bracers,  Drop (25H Icecrown Citadel)

Hands - Gazlow’s Gloves, Quest “WANTED: Cap'n Garvey”

Belt - Conductor’s Multi-Pocket Girdle, Drop (Heroic Blackrock Foundry)

Legs - Warbear Woolies, Crafted, AH (5k+ Gold)

Feet - Cruel Gladiator’s Felskin Boot, PvP Vendor

Notes:

1. The bracers are complicated to obtain. You’ll need to farm shadow dust to make an Elixir of Shadows so you can see the Time-Lost Skettis mobs and kill them for Time-Lost Scrolls. You’ll need 10 of these scrolls to summon any of four elites, Gezzarak, Vakkiz, Akkarai, or Karrog, at piles of skulls you see around the Skettis area. The bracers have only a 6% chance to drop from any of them so you will have to summon them multiple times. It’s a farm, but worth it I think!

2. The only DH specific piece here is the feet because this particular coloration is from the PvP version. There are several other ToS tier look-a-likes that are just recolored or there is Shadowmaster’s Boots from Normal Black Temple that matches fairly well, if you want to use this on other leather classes.

3. I didn’t include a weapon because everyone has different weapon tastes when it comes to DH’s especially. However, I will say two particular artifact appearances match this beautifully: the original challenge appearance (the orange flame one) and the PvP hidden appearance (the red one) for havoc DHs. My DH is modeling them below:

Fel-Corrupted Red Dragon Transmog

The following set was inspired by the fel-green eyes of blood elves and the Malevolent Gladiator’s Mooncloth Helm. All of my mogs are generally of one armor type, making them fully usable. Feel free to use the mog for your own purposes.

Set Armor Type: Cloth

Full Set Faction: Alliance and Horde

Class Types: Priest only

Minimum level for full set: 100

Set Totality: 8/8 or 100% (Pants optional)

Set Originality: 8/8 or 100%

For Roleplay?: Maybe. It’s on the edgy side.

Pieces:

Head - Crafted Malevolent Gladiator’s Mooncloth Helm, Tailoring or AH (Around 1000 Gold) - Priest Only

Shoulders - Shadow Council’s Mantle, Drop (Mythic Blackrock Foundry)

Back - Nocturnal Cloak, Drop or AH (80-800 Gold)

Chest - Robe of the Waking Nightmare, Drop (25N Icecrown Citadel)

Hands - Handwraps of the Cleansing Flame, Vendor (Justice Quartermasters in Orgrimmar and Stormwind) - Priest Only

Belt - Firestrike Cord, Vendor (Shadow-Pan Assault Quartermaster - Friendly Reputation Required, 256 Gold)

Feet - Ruthless Gladiator's Treads of Meditation, Vendor (Ruthless Gladiator, 2 Marks of Honor)

Staff - Soulkeeper, Drop or AH (500-20,000 Gold)

Notes:

1. The shoulders apparently have a low drop rate according to Wowhead.

2. Most hairstyles will clip through the back of the headpiece. I really do only recommend short hairstyles only for this set. 

3. There are much more intricate staves than this one, but none produce their own light quite like the Soulkeeper (and other staves of the same model). I think it’s a very nice touch that brings out the details of the set, especially where color is concerned.

4. There is a simpler version of the chest, the Meteor Chaser’s Raiment. This version has exactly the same color scheme but the bottom half has a much more simplistic style, being not quite so flashy. It probably also drops from Icecrown Citadel.

5. The back model with those specific colors drops under three different names. I’ve only listed one. Be sure to check the “same model as” tab on Wowhead so you can get the best deal on the AH! Also, I personally would do without the back, but I was aiming for completeness.

6. Again, I like this set most on a female blood elf. A male blood elf can pull it off pretty well too. Really, depending on how you feel about the shoulders and the squareness of the set, I think just about any race or gender could wear the set, provided they’re a priest.

Change in Format

While I had initially planned to write a character profile for every mog I make, it’s a little too much work and I have decided against it. Instead, I will be posting strictly the mogs with their details and what kind of characters I think they fit well on. Happy new year!

Errus the Arcanist Transmog

This is a transmog shown in the Errus Silverflame Profile. Feel free to use it for your own purposes. Even take Errus for yourself. All of my mogs are generally of one armor type, making them fully usable.

Set Armor Type: Cloth

Full Set Faction: Alliance and Horde

Class Types: Mage

Minimum level for full set: 90

Set Totality: 8/9 or 89% (Back missing)

Set Originality: 6/8 or 75%

For Roleplay?: Yes

Pieces:

Head - Cataclysmic Gladiator’s Silk Cowl, PvP 

Shoulder - Cataclysmic Gladiator’s Silk Amice, PvP

Chest - Blanketing Robes of Snow, Drop (25N Eye of Eternity and Naxxramus) and Tailoring

Shirt - Master Builder’s Shirt, Drop (Normal Blackrock Depths)

Bracers - Death Surgeon’s Sleeves,  Drop (25H Icecrown Citadel)

Hands - Communal Handwraps, Starter Gear

Belt - Shadowmoon Sash, Vendor (Lunarfall and Frostwall)

Feet - Faux Warlock Slippers, Quest “Locked and Loaded” in Burning Steppes (Available to both factions.)

Staff - Frostbitten Staff, Drop or AH (5000+ Gold)  

Notes:

1. The Frostbitten Staff’s high buyout price is likely due to its low world drop rate. The Alliance can get the same appearance easily by completing the quest “Darkness Falls” in Shadowmoon Valley for the Karabor Starsinger Staff. The Horde must use the Frostbitten Staff

2. The Communal Handwraps can be gotten from level boosting a priest or from the salvage crates from the long forgotten Garrisons of WoD.

3. The shoulder and head pieces feature orange flames. It’s a little out of place, but I found it tolerable. The flames aren’t nearly as obvious if particle density is set to low.

4. This is more of a personal thing, but I like this set on a female night elf much more. The only change I would make is removing the shirt.

Errus the Hermit Transmog

This is a transmog shown in the Errus Silverflame profile. Feel free to use it for your own purposes. Even take Errus for yourself. All of my mogs are generally of one armor type, making them fully usable.

Set Armor Type: Cloth

Full Set Faction: Alliance

Class Types: Warlock, Priest, Mage

Minimum level for full set: 49

Set Totality: 6/8 or 75% (missing back and shoulders)

Set Originality: 100%

For Roleplay?: Yes

Pieces: 

Head - Thistlefur Cap, Drop or AH (few hundred gold)

Chest - Brown Linen Robe, Tailoring or AH (few gold at most)

Hands - Scholar’s Gloves, Quest “Catch and Release” in Bloodmyst Isle (Alliance)

Belt - Windchaser Cinch, Drop or AH (few hundred gold)

Feet - Faux Warlock Slippers, Quest “Locked and Loaded” in Burning Steps (Available to both factions.)

Staff - Magus Long Staff, Drop or AH (few hundred gold)

Notes: 

Action House estimates are based on what I saw at the time I checked. Expect price fluctuation. 

There is no horde version of Scholar’s Gloves. Possible replacements are Conjurer’s Gloves (Drop or AH) or Ritual Gloves (Drop or AH).

Race models with bulkier arms (especially males) may require bracers to transmog as the cuffs of the robe flare. This may show the top part of the wrist underneath which is always covered by bracers at least and will not be covered by the gloves recommended above.

Errus Silverflame

Before you stands a timid and ancient kaldorei. His face, darkened by his hood and carved by lines of withdrawal, is pale and sickly, and his sunken amber eyes lack the vital passion normally seen in his brethren.  His stature reflects his face seeming permanently hunched, misshapen, and malnourished from improper diet. Even so, he remains an intimidatingly fearful and brooding figure at six and a half feet tall. The distinctive disgusting smell permeating the air as he stands mixes the perfumes of one hundred herbs and the residues of one hundred days of a feral life without washing making his presence reviling for even the blind.

His hair too remains as neglected and disturbed. What can be seen of his matted white hair clings to his neck and strays into his eyes and mouth with sticks and leaves caught between the strands. It is far from the dignified tangle of a brother druid but rather is a result of pure apathy seen in those who suffer a guilty conscience. Along his jaw similar white stubble juts from rough skin scarred by a dagger in his unskillful hand. A slight greenish tint reflects  off it when the sun especially burns his pale features. One could almost imagine the locks fine, well-kept, and clean, having a much more prominent and beautiful silvery green sheen.  

His robes unsurprisingly are usually those of a common beggar. Their brown color and white linen patches are further darkened by dirt, blood, and other uncivilized substances. Only the soles of his feet and the palms of his hands are covered by threadbare cloth leaving scarred and abused fingers and toes exposed fully to the thorns. Fastened to his stretched belt is a single small dagger with a long, very thin, and likely dull blade, like that of a letter opener.  Making his garb more ominous is a heavy hood that hangs easily over his eyes. Lastly, in his hand, a long once beautiful, well-made, but simple staff regularly supports and even seems to drag its owner at times as he walks. While the most expensive and powerful thing he seems to own, it is not loved. The crystals at the staff's end holding waning power are chipped and cracking and the wood is splintering. The very faint humming arcane radiating from it intensify a pain in the kaldorei's face when all is peaceful around him.

By chance, however, you may have caught him in an ornate once noble garb of a high arcanist. Even like this, still, Errus' esteem remains the same, degrading this vestment. Dirt and dust cling to individual threads of the mageweave cloth, dulling the rich purple to an ugly puce, the silver linings to grays and tans, and the uniform chocolate browns to spotty and uneven shadings. In contrast, the dozens of sky blue crystals also adorning him continue to shine and radiate steady arcane reminiscent of the Well of Eternity.  His staff also pulses with the same intoxicating arcane energy but to a much greater and more concentrated degree.  The large almost pristine crystal clearly is the bulk of the weight of the staff and often forces the weakened kaldorei to rest the back on the ground for support.

In these weaves, he forces himself to straighten his back and roll back his broad shoulders bringing back a shadow of his youthful might and drawing his height to over seven feet. His golden eyes yet remain shamefully downcast and avoiding.  His personal odor is reduced but very much still present. He remains uncomfortable looking as his hair is pressed against his neck more than ever. Indeed, though his dress has changed, the same man haunted by the same past remains.

(Information on the two transmogs above in next post.)
