Monk transmog - Flaming focus





[Crown of Seven Sacred Seals] (heroic), Head
[Yeti-Hide Spaulders] (heroic), Shoulders
[Robes of Summer Flame] (normal), Chest
[Vellum-Ripper Gloves] (heroic), Hands
[Seal of Karmic Return] (heroic), Waist
[Grassy Bindings] (alliance quest), Feet
[Stolen Talrendis Boots] (horde quest), Feet
[Giorgio's Caduceus of Pure Moods] (raid finder), Staff



I often feel sorry for monks, because when creating a monk transmog you kind of have to use leftover pieces from the other classes' gear. This transmog however is built around the monk tier 16 set (heroic Armor of Seven Sacred Seals), with a few druid pieces thrown in there to make it feel fiery and forest-ish.



When I make monk transmogs I almost always use a panda model to show them. I can't help but to think that the monk class suits them best. Sorry, all you monks that play other races!

Mage transmog - Stitched magic

[Cataclysmic Gladiator's Silk Cowl] (season 11), Head
[Cataclysmic Gladiator's Silk Amice] (season 11), Shoulder
[Hisek's Chrysanthemum Cape] (raid finder), Back
[Mystic's Robe], Chest
[Gloves of the Chromatic Hydra] (heroic), Hands
[Vita-Binder Wrap] (heroic thunderforged), Waist
[Staff of Sorcerer-Thane Thaurissan], Staff (left)
[Spire of Scarlet Pain] (heroic), Staff (bottom)

The robe looks kind of lonely here as the only green item, but the robe is actually what the whole transmog derived from. I have a thing for low level green items, and this robe made me think of trolls, so I decided to make a transmog for troll mages!

If you choose another weapon with this, I would recommend either [Enchanter's Illusion - Power Torrent] or [Enchanter's Illusion - Elemental Force] as weapon glows to go with the transmog.

Hunter transmog - Something fishy

[Ravenchain Helm] (neutral quest), Head
[Feludius' Mantle] (heroic), Shoulders
[Cloak of Violent Harmony] (drop), Cloak
[Carapace of Segmented Scale] (vendor), Chest
[Laughing Skull Orcs Tabard] (horde), Tabard
[Gloves of Ghostly Dreams] (vendor), Hands
[Lifecycle Waistguard] (heroic), Waist
[Outrider Chainmail] (neutral quest), Legs
[Boots of Az'galada] (heroic), Feet
[Black Iron Sniper Rifle] (normal), Gun (left)
[Njorndar Bone Bow] (normal), Bow (right)
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).

Shaman transmog - Emerald and terracotta

Hi guys and I hope you had a pleasant New Years Eve!

This shaman transmog gives a rather menacing impression... which I consider to be a good thing.

I am actually not entirely sure if the [Vicious Gladiator's Ringmail Armor] from Season 9, displayed to the right, is still obtainable in the game. In my opinion, that particular chestpiece is ideal for this transmog, but if you don't have it in your bank and can't get ahold of it, the [Mail of the Geyser] is an example of an all right replacement.

[Dreadful Gladiator's Ringmail Helm], Head
[Iron-Studded Mantle], Shoulders
[Vicious Gladiator's Ringmail Armor], Chest
[Gloves of Whispering Winds], Hands
[Champion's Girdle], Waist
[Kilt of the Forgotten Battle], Legs
[Glider's Sabatons], Feet
[Combatant's Bootblade], One-hand dagger
[Elementium Stormshield], Shield

Monk transmog - Armor of crimson steel

[Red Crane Crown] (heroic), Head
[Shoulderpads of the Silvermoon Retainer], Shoulders
[Burnt Leather Vest], Chest
[Red Crane Gauntlets] (heroic), Hands
[Shadow-Walker's Cord], Waist
[Legwraps of the Broken Beast] (horde), Legs
[Prospector's Boots], Feet
[Crimson Steel], One-hand Fist weapon (left and middle)
[Demonblood Eviscerator], One-hand Fist weapon (right)
[Orgrimmar Doublet] (horde), Shirt
I felt inspired to put yet another monk transmog together today. I used the Red Crane-set as a base this time too, but the heroic version this time. This was intended for brewmaster monks, but any monk can use it for their transmog, of course, as long as they are horde. As you can see in the list to the left, some of the items are horde only.

Happy New Years!

Monk transmog - The guiding herbalist



[Red Crane Mantle] (raid finder), Shoulder
[Decaying Herbalist's Robes], Chest
[Gloves of the Silver Assassin], Hands (alliance only, left picture)
[Imbued Pioneer Gloves], Hands (bottom picture)
[Luminescent Bracers], Wrists (bottom picture)
[Dreadful Gladiator's Waistband of Accuracy], Waist
[Trickster's Boots], Feet
[Guiding Star], Main-hand mace
[Aran's Soothing Sapphire], Off-hand (left picture)
[Evergreen Branch], Off-hand (bottom picture)

I just got the urge to create a new monk transmog. This time I tried to make it fit for a mistweaver monk. Blue is my favourite colour and I love the colour on this mace from Ulduar.

The gloves in the left picture are for alliance only, while the gloves and wrists in the bottom picture are available for both classes. Good luck!

Mage transmog - Enlightened arcanist

[Incanter's Cowl], Head
[Arcanist Mantle], Shoulders
[Firehawk Robes] (heroic), Chest
[Gloves of Penitence], Hands
[Sash of Jordan], Waist
[Replica Devout Sandals], Feet
[Enlightenment], Staff

I started with the cowl when I created this mage transmog and worked with the colours in it. I came across this lovely staff while looking for gear with matching colours and decided to go with this even though it is a bit over-used. If you think purple is the right colour for your mage then this set might be worth aiming for.

I decided to use a gnome as a model, because I think both the cowl and the shoulderpads look better on a gnome model than on the taller races. I'm not quite sure why but I like that parts of the shoulders are hidden inside the headpiece, making them look smaller. It makes the outfit look different than it otherwise would.

Death Knight transmog - Corruption


If you play a death knight (unholy probably looks the best in this) and if you kept this helmet from Dragon Soul Raid finder, maybe this gear would suit your character? All you have to do now is get your hands on [Armageddon], and, of course, the shoulders that drop from Lei Shi in the new Terrace of Endless Spring raid ;)

[Necrotic Boneplate Helmet] (raid finder), Head
[Shoulderguards of the Lost Catacomb], Shoulders
[Scourgelord Battleplate], Chest
[Refitted Bruiser Gauntlets], Hands
[Bogslayer Belt], Waist
[Cataclysmic Gladiator's Dreadplate Legguards], Legs
[Scourge Fanged Stompers] (heroic), Feet
[No'Kaled, the Elements of Death] (heroic), One-handed axe
[Hand of Morchok], One-handed axe
[Armageddon], Two-handed sword (lower picture)

Monk transmog - Mountainscale

[Fuzzy Headcover], Head
[Wastewalker Shoulderpads], Shoulders
[Mountainscaler Hide Robes], Chest
[Armwraps of the Kaldorei Protector], Wrists
[Marshseeker Gloves], Hands
[Belt of Swift Failure], Waist
[Mountainscaler Hide Legguards], Legs
[Anomuran Footpads], Feet (a/h)
[Angerfang Spear], Polearm

When I started making this I was really excited to make a monk transmog, but once I started looking at gear I realized how hard it is to put together an outfit for a monk. The only tier gear they have is (obviously) tier 14 which my MogIt doesn't have yet (I might have to check if there's an update ready...), so I tried to create an outfit out of old leather pieces.

This gear is wearable by any leather class but I decided to label it as a monk transmog since that's what I intended it to be. I used the head as a foundation for this one and tried to work with colours that would go well with it. I don't really know why, but I really like the model of this head gear and I think it fits a mysterious monk pretty well.

I'm sorry I couldn't give you anything fancier than a set full of greens for my first monk transmog, but I still like this and I hope that maybe it will grow on you as well. If it doesnt, maybe you will like my next monk transmog better ^^

Priest transmog - Priestess of the moon


As I'm sure you're all aware, Mists of Pandaria launched about a week ago, and just like everyone else I've been busy playing. I really love the expansion so far and I had a lot of fun leveling my priest!

To celebrate her 90th level I decided to give her a new transmog, which I'm showing you here. I am aware that I have more priest transmogs in my blog than any other class, which of course is because I play a priest myself and I get to play around more with her gear than with any other class gear, and I hope you don't mind...

I really enjoy wearing this set and I hope you like it too. The robe is crafted from a tailoring pattern bought in Dire Maul, while the head is an honor points item in Wintergrasp, and the belt is bought for honor points from the Alterac Valley-vendor.

The rest of the items are trickier to get: shoulders are the priest t8 shoulders that drop from Thorim in 10 man Ulduar, gloves are a quest reward in Blasted Lands (alliance/horde), lantern is a quest reward in Western Plaguelands (both factions) and the dagger drops from first boss in Magister's Terrace on heroic difficulty. Fyi, the dagger hides enchants. :D


[Titan-Forged Hood of Salvation], Head
[Valorous Shoulderpads of Sanctification], Shoulders
[Mooncloth Robe], Chest
[Gloves of Compassion], Hands (alliance)
[Gloves of Purchased Time], Hands (horde)
[Highlander's Cloth Girdle], Waist, or:
[Mindfire Waistband], Waist
[Jaded Crystal Dagger], Main hand dagger
[Light-Imbued Lantern], Off hand
[Swift Moonsaber], Mount
