Paladin transmog - Two sides of the story

Here I have two similiar yet different transmogs! The shoulders and legs are the same, and the chest and hand pieces are the same models on both transmogs, but both have different color schemes. They are supposed to represent alliance and horde, although I like the red-purple one better and I'd more likely use that one on my human paladin. ;) To me it's a bit shocking how sexualized the female plate armor is, especially that before level 70 (but alot of gear after level 70 is very sexualized and revealing too). Have you guys ever noticed that? No? Lots and lots of boob breastplates and revealing holes in the gear - where a deadly spear easily would find its target. Alot of these pieces have a different, more covering, model for male characters. I guess women in revealing clothes is so common to us that we don't question it - even when men get to wear empowering gear right next to the scantily clad women. Yet I can't stop using the sexier kind of gear. I feel a little ashamed...

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).

Priest Transmog - Jade jumper

Okay so, here's my latest project for my priest Linnéa. I'm only missing the boots... It's the first time I'm not wearing a robe, mostly because I wanted a reason to wear this tabard, which requires exalted with Order of the Cloud Serpent. Here are the ingredients:

[Mercurial Mantle], Shoulders
[Oshu'gun Cloak], Cloak
[Blue Linen Vest] (or anything sleeveless), Chest

[Mark of Shadowmoon], Weapon enchant
[Blue Dragonhawk], Mount

Trial Paladin Transmog - This girl is on fiiiree!

Be aware: this transmog mainly consists of mail pieces and Paladin heirlooms. Therefore it is not wearable by max level Paladins (unless they for some reason would wear mail instead of plate). The tabard was bought for my f2p Paladin Sikvah before the 6.0.2 patch; however, it is not possible to get it at level 20 anymore.

Priest Transmog - Umbral

Sooo Blizzard gave me 7 days of free play time. I thought I'd make use of it by posting the transmog I've had on my priest Linnéa for some time now, since some pieces are from Pandaria raid finder. This is the same one as I'm wearing in my halloween post below. :) It actually looks better after the latest patch now when draenei have green eyes.

[Cowl of the Ternion Glory] (raid finder), Head
[Mantle of the Ternion Glory] (raid finder), Shoulders

This is Halloween!

These masks are crazy...

6.0.2 - New Character Models

Yay! The new patch 6.0.2 went live yesterday along with the new character models. Above are some of my f2p characters (and obviously my undead warlock isn't level 20 yet). I do think the new character models look more detailed and have much smoother motions, but at the same time I wonder: what the heck happened to my draenei's and human's faces? They look derpier than ever while female undead, trolls and orcs look awesomely intense. I might reroll as horde!

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.

[Rifle Commander's Eyepatch] (alliance), Head

[Bard's Gloves], Hands
[Feral Cord], Waist
[Spothide Leggings] (alliance), Legs
[Bard's Boots], Feet
[Flarecrazed Cloak] (alliance), Cloak
[Crossbow of the Crown], Crossbow
[Tabard of the Wyrmrest Accord], Tabard
[Stylish Black Shirt], Shirt
[Reins of the Grey Riding Yak], Mount
[Deviate Coiler Hatchling], Pet (left)
[Corrupted Tide Crawler], Pet (Right)

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.

Paladin transmog - Smokin' hot

My boyfriend just finished collecting these pieces for his transmog, which is a set I put together for him. In retrospect I realize that those boots might not be the best match for this set (they have too much blue on them!), but on the other hand I'm pretty sure that the available boots with a more red colour scheme were of a different model, and this is the model of boots I like best. Maybe they will have to do. I do love the helmet, from Ahn'Qiraj, combined with these shoulders, from Firelands.. :)

[Avenger's Crown], Head
[Immolation Shoulderguards] (heroic), Shoulders
[Grievous Gladiator's Scaled Chestpiece] (alliance), Chest
[Furious Gladiator's Ornamented Gloves], Hands
[Girdle of the Protector], Waist
[Grievous Gladiator's Scaled Legguards] (alliance), Legs
[Spike-Soled Stompers], Feet
[Red Sword of Courage], One-handed Sword
[Triptych Shield of the Ancients], Shield

Unfortunately for all you horde paladins out there, you will have to use different chest and leg pieces if you want this transmog because these Season 15 items look different for horde characters.

This character's name is Brayan and you can take a look at his armory here.

Priest transmog - Scorched

Hey! I'm back with another transmog, which of course means I have a school paper due today... There are just so many more important things to do than studying when there's a paper to write. Such as playing WoW. And making transmogs.

The base for this priest set are the Head piece and the Shoulder piece from Firelands Normal, combined with a robe from the Botanica. It might be worth noting that the mace used in this transmog has its own glow and effectively hides the enchant effect underneath, so you don't have to worry about having an enchant that doesnt match the outfit.
