Jade Monk – Leather Transmog

Well, I was sooo excited to finally get to transmog Draenei into leather gear, I can’t believe I haven’t posted one yet!  I’ve been seeing a lot of monks mogging the Rogue Tier 2 recolor, and the Replica Darkmantle Armor.  I love the colors in these sets, so I though I’d post my on take on it 🙂  If you’re looking for more monk mogs, check out Lae’s Draenei Monk blog!

Giving Thanks

Drayney had never heard of Thanksgiving before crash-landing into Azeroth.  She figured it was just some strange human holiday she didn’t need to concern herself with.  It wasn’t until a friendly commoner around Stormwind mentioned they were looking for help cooking just outside of the gates that she decided to see what it was about.  She couldn’t believe the tables of feasts set up, and that anyone, Horde or Alliance could come and share in the bounty.

She spotted a man standing on a bale of hay, looking very in-charge, so she asked him what was going on.  He told her more about the holiday, and asked since, being a mage, she specialized in traveling to the various capital cities, if she would help deliver Stormwind’s bounty to the other gatherings.  As Drayney traveled and gained the Spirit of Sharing, she began to realize how special this time was.  She had a lot to be thankful for, and a lot of special people to thank.  She called up her sister Draynee and tell her all about it.  They decided together to make a new family tradition and let all the fly people in their lives know how greatful they are!

The tables are so big!

I’ve lurked around the Blog Azeroth forums for a while now, and contemplated doing a Shared Topic post, but this is my first actual one.  I am really thankful for all my blog readers, and the fellow bloggers I’ve gotten know, so the Blog Azeroth Thanksgiving Event is the perfect first shared topic!

I want to start by thanking Effy and Kamalia.  Before I started blogging, I didn’t know much about the WoW blogging community.  I’ve always read WoW Insider, but I didn’t really know about the individuals out there blogging.  I came across Effy’s old blog I think by searching for Draenei blog, or something similar on google.  I was pretty excited to find another Draenei enthusiast out there!  I’m not sure how I came across Kamalia’s blog, but her love of the also-hooven Tauren was wonderful to read about.  So, Effy was the first person to comment on my blog, and Kam was the first person to Blogroll me.  It was so wonderful and it really gave me confidence to move forward.

Next, a huge ‘thank you’ to Ironyca and Noelani of Wow Roleplay Gear.  Along with Elvine, they host the fantastic WoW Factor transmog shows.  After winning my second Proudmoore Wow Factor show, I wanted to email them and thank for their hard work in doing the shows.  I was really nervous about it just coming across as a ‘self-promotion’ letter, but they were sooo nice!  They really helped get my blog out there by putting it on their blogroll.  I even got to guest-judge one of the shows!

JD from Amateur Azerothian deserves a /cheer along with his thanks.  From putting on the Mogolympics to just generally being an awesome guy, I am very thankful to know him.  I have so much fun running Laid Back Raids with him and his crew.

Finally, thanks to all the other bloggers for just being awesome and creative, and adding giggles, inspiration, and knowledge to my WoW life!  Also, thanks again to my readers and fellow Draenei Enthusiasts, you guys rock!

Food Fight!  JD totally started it!

Fly Draenei Friday – Satsuri

Satsuri

Satsuri in Sundered Armor and Titan-Forged Shoulders of Dominance, and Drainee

A few days ago I was running back and forth between the Leatherworking shop and the mailbox nearby, when a Draenei on a cloud serpent caught my eye.  I stopped to check her out, as she looked pretty fly at first glance, when I realized it was Satsuri!  We have chatted in blog comments before, but this was the first time I’d run into her in game.  We he a nice chance to talk, mainly about her super fly transmog!  I love the way she’s coordinated her mog with her Order of the Cloud Serpent Tabard.  She told me she’s planning on making mogs for all of the faction tabards, which sounds awesome and I hope I get to see them!!

 

More people are finally starting to mog again, so here are a few gals spotted around Proudmoore recently:

Moxyshock
     
Dalende
Moxyshock is also wearing the Titan-Forged Shoulders of Dominance but with the Ornate Mail set.  I’m loving these shoulders, it makes me want to level my Shaman up so I can mog them too:) Dalende looking fly in the Bloodscale set paired nicely with the Sparkbreath Girdle and invisiboots – Ancient Skeletal Boots. Her shield is The Fel Barrier.
Tengaaris
     
Batousi
Tengaaris did an awesome job coordinating pieces with the Enchanted Thorium Breastplate and Leggings.  Stormforged Shoulders, Ymirjar Lord’s Handguards, and Boots of Kingly Upheaveal really pull this look together. Batousi looks great in her fiery mail set. Crown of Flame, Rocket-Chief Pauldrons, Masterwork Breastplate, Dragonfire Gloves, Firearrow Belt, Grunt’s Legguards, and Scaled Draenic Boots.

Hallow’s End Transmog Contest – Results!

Ugh… too much candy…

Last night, all the innkeepers of Azeroth stayed up late packing away their candy buckets, and emptying out the apple bobbing barrels.  Much like Hallow’s End, the Fly Draenei Hallow’s End Transmog Contest has come to an end too.  I wish I had more exciting news, but I had a whoping 3 entries!  I was looking forward to seeing some silly costumes using the masks, but oh well.  The three entries are super awesome and I really appreciate them for taking the time and sending them in!  Since all three entered in the “Miscellaneous” category, they will all be getting Eye of the Legion loots.  I was going to have 3 winners anyways, so why not?!  I want to give a special thanks to Kamalia, who offered to help judge but, well…. Thanks Lady 😀

And now, what everyone’s been waiting for – The Fly Draenei of Hallow’s End:

First up is the fabulous Vidyala with her mage Millya.  Millya is a super fly witch, complete with a Feline Familiar as a companion.  So cute!
