Hunter transmog - Primal pastels

I bought the Legion expansion and decided to give my hunter a shortcut to level 100. Lutra is actually my old main that I used to play as before I got my priest. She deserved a new look.

You need to be a leatherworker in order to get this transmog. You have to craft the shoulders yourself (ugh) from TBC mats because they are BoP. Have fun!

Hunter transmog - Something fishy

I think we've all noticed by now that Blizzard loves to give dead animal heads to hunters. I felt inspired when I saw this head that I think looks like a gawking fish (because who doesn't want a fish head on your head?). This is a mix of epic dungeon and raid items, quest rewards and vendor items. I always feel pleased when I find use for uncommon and rare items, and not just epics! The head is actually the only exclusive hunter item on this transmog so most of it can be worn by shamans as well... (although that would look kind of weird).

Trial Hunter transmog - Wyrmrest Scout

This is my trial / f2p hunter Shanvah with her pets Alagai and Couzi (all names are from the Demon Cycle books). I've been working on this transmog for some time now, gathering green drops from rares in Azeroth, collecting Darkmoon tickets for the heirloom shoulder and gaining honor points for the tabard. I'm quite happy with how this turned out for my level 20!

Creating a transmog for a trial / f2p character can be quite tricky. When it comes to hunters, shamans, paladins and warriors, you have to think twice about the gear you want to transmog to. Since hunters and shamans wear mail when they reach level 40, and paladins and warriors similarly wear plate, their heirloom parts are originally mail and plate respectively which automatically turn into leather (for shamans and hunters) and mail (for warriors and paladins) if you wear them on lower levels. In this particular case with my hunter, my [Champion Herod's Shoulder] is originally a mail piece which has turned into leather since my character is only level 20. And here's the tricky part: you can't transmog this gear. The game still recognizes this gear as mail if you try to apply a leather transmog to it, and it won't accept a mail piece as a transmog either since a level 20 character can't wear mail yet.

Because of this, I decided to create the whole transmog around the hunter heirloom parts! Of course, it IS possible to use the rogue heirlooms instead since they have similar stats and stay leather, making them transmoggable, but I quite like the [Champion Herod's Shoulder], so I made it the foundation for this transmog. It will look alright once I get the [Champion's Deathdealer Breastplate] (which is pink and doesn't fit with the color scheme) as well since the tabard hides it.

Edit: I like how this following guide to get the tabard was valid for like a week... It is actually no longer possible to buy Commendation Badges for justice points since they removed that currency. The Commendation badges are also removed. This means the tabard is no longer available as f2p.

The [Tabard of the Wyrmrest Accord] is quite fun to get. Once you reach 500 honor points from battlegrounds you can exchange them for 250 justice points (in Stormwind for Alliance, in Orgrimmar for Horde). Travel to Northrend by boat/zeppelin, fly to Dalaran and buy 6 Wyrmrest Commendation Badge. Using them will allow you to reach friendly status with the Wyrmrest Accord. Then jump down from Dalaran and run to Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight and buy the tabard from the quartermaster at the top level of the temple (there is an npc that will help you fly all the way up). This same trick will work for [Tabard of the Argent Crusade] and [Tabard of the Kirin Tor] as well.

Hunter transmog - Smoulder

[Crown of the Doomed Empress] (raid finder), Head [Yaungol Slayer's Spaulders] (raid finder), Shoulders [Royal Decorated Armor], Chest [Clawshaper Gauntlets] (heroic), Hands [Girdle of Ferocity] (heroic), Waist [Yaungol Slayer's Legguards], Legs [Hero's Boots], Feet [Themios the Darkbringer], Bow (left) [Accursed Bow of the Elite], Bow (middle) [Arathar, the Eye of Flame] (heroic), Bow (right) Hi! It's been a while. I felt like creating a hunter transmog - the legs and shoulders are hunter only - from some of the new gear in MoP. I haven't played actively for about a year and it was fun to mess around with the new tiers that I haven't seen before. Take care!

Hunter transmog - Dragon sniper

[Keepers of Time Tabard], Tabard

It was time for a new hunter transmog. I built this one around the [Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle], which has a chance to drop from the opera event in Karazhan after defeating The Big Bad Wolf during the Little Red Riding Hood bossfight.

These shoulders emit a black smoke, while the head has an orange glow effect (and the eye will occasionally stare at you...)

Hunter transmog - Mighty dragon's maw

Wohoo! Mists of Pandaria launches in less than a week. To celebrate this I made two hunter transmogs based on the Season 12 Hunter tier! This set has a new belt model that I wanted to try, and I think the hat looks great together with Pandaria's whole asian theme.

I think the [Epaulets of the Devourer] look really good together with that tier set. Unfortunately these shoulders are Alliance only (see the little lion heads?), which is the reason why I made two different sets with the hat as a base. The outfit the worgen is wearing is therefore only available for Alliance. I suggest switching the chestpiece out for the [Lord's Breastplate] if you're using this transmog for a female character.

For the orc one I was just looking for a reason to use that awesome gun. <3 Looks so badass and really fits the shoulders and their lightning glow effects.

Hunter transmog - Cataclysmic sagittarius

Finally, a hunter transmog! Now I have uploaded at least one of each class ^-^

Hunter has so far been the hardest class to create a good outfit for. As you might have noticed by looking at my transmogs, I like bright colours, and it seems like hunters mostly have dark, greyish brown gear.

I am not crazy about this outfit myself, but so far it will have to do (the lack of hunter transmogs in my blog was starting to bug me...). When I put this set together I started out by picking a bow that I liked and ended up with the [Ironfeather Longbow], which is a quest reward in Well of Eternity. The rest of the items are a mix of boss drops, quest rewards and crafting items. The shoulders can only be crafted with leatherworking and they bind when picked up, and therefore only leatherworkers can achieve this transmog.

Shaman transmog - Spiritbound

Shaman transmog - take two.

After my friend Mebriel respectfully had turned down the last transmog I presented to him, this is what I came up with. I think this look suited his taste better, since he wanted something more "shaman-ish" as well as something that didn't look as organized. There were plently of items with a shaman-feel to them, especially alot of items that looks good on trolls, and these shoulders caught my attention. I still don't think Mebriel was quite pleased and he will probably keep his outfit the way it is, but I decided I'd at least post this transmog here.
