Mail transmog set

Random Mogness – Hunter Mogs

Between coming up with ideas for Mogolympics and pretty crappy RNG, I’ve been collecting quite a few outfits in my Mogit lists.  Since I can’t reveal my Mogolympics looks, and none of Drainee’s outfits are coming together, I though I’d just share some Mogit shots.

When I first made Drainee, long before transmog, I went with a white-on-white look.  She even traveled all the way to Dun Morogh at a very low level to tame a white pet, a Young Snow Leopard.  I was trying to put together this white look for her for a few weeks.  The pants drop off the Princess in Maraudon, and after a week or so of killing her without luck, I gave up.  I saw the BOE version of the pants on the AH once, but 1500g seemed like too much at the time, lol.

This second outfit is based around one of my favorite bows in the game, the Vengeful Gladiator’s Longbow.  I’ve got most of the pieces except the boots.  They drop from Kraator, a rare spawn in Shadowmoon Valley.  I’ve been camping him for almost as long as the Princess :/  I literally sit on my drake for hours, while tabbed out doing other stuff, in one of his spawn spots.  Then, I fly around a little looking for him, and check the AH for the boots.  I really admire Cymre and Euphyley for the time they spend on rare spawns.  I did see him once, but he dropped the cloth version of the boots… of course.

I’ve had this green and gold outfit in my Mogit list for a while now. I put it together based on the polearm after it dropped in a Black Temple Run.

This last outfit I put together recently.  It was originally for the Mogolympics Archery entry, but it looked too good on Drainee.  I’d already used a Draenei Female for another entry, and any other race just didn’t look as fly!

Ice, Ice Baby

Icy

A few days ago, Keelhaul of Disenchanting Azeroth posted a new Differentiation Analysis of Polearms.  It is, at it’s most basic, a breakdown of all the polearm models in the game.  He has it sorted very elegantly and it’s a great resource.  He has also done shields, bows and some assorted melee weapons.  Keelhaul is also the guy responsible for some epic transmog contests that have been going on.  The WoW Factor is having a transmog show on Lightbringer for Alliance this Saturday.  That is my very first home server, so I might have to dust off an old toon and go check it out.  Judging from the pictures of the shows from Arthas, Tichondrius and Earthen Ring, it should be epic.

But, back to the polearms!  I had been looking for something different than the Hellreaver for my PVP gear.  The Sonic Spear stood out to me right away, and reminded me that I’d been wanting to do an outfit to go with my blue demon dog, Dave.  I found out quickly, however, that blue mail is hard to come by!  I then found out that most of the best blue mail isn’t even in the game anymore.  I started with the Icy Scale Gauntlets, why they are in the MogIt database doesn’t really make sense, but I really wanted those gloves.

Classic WoW Icy Scale Mail Set

After spending a few hours farming the Crypt Fiend Slayer, I went to wowhead to find out what I needed to farm to make the gloves.  Turns out, I wouldn’t be farming anything for them, as the only pieces from the vanilla frost resist set that were rehashed for Wrath were the chest, belt, and boots.  The next piece of disappointment was the Blue Dragonscale Shoulders.  While they are still technically available, the pattern no longer drops.  I have all the mats, I just haven’t been able to find an old-school Leather worker who can make them.  The last piece that eludes me is the Boots of Persistance.  They drop from Anub in 10-man Naxx.  I was able to kill him with just one other person, so I have no doubt they are aptly-named and will drop eventually.  Luckily, it only took one full run and a few mob kills the second time to get the Outrunner’s Slippers to drop from Wailing Caverns.  I look at that as almost making up for all the rest since they have about a 0.2% chance to drop from mobs in there.

So after all that,  I have this outfit.  Part Icy Scale mail, part Outrunner’s Mail.  I think it coordinates with Dave fairly well, but I had to take Drainee out for some hot chocolate after making her do a photo shoot in Northrend wearing those “pants”.

Shoulders – Azure Shoulderguards
Chest –  Icy Scale Chestpiece
Hands – Outrunner’s Gloves
Waist – Icy Scale Belt
Legs –  Outrunner’s Legguards
Feet – Outrunner’s Slippers
Polearm – Sonic Spear
Bow – Crypt Fiend Slayer

I was also thinking of using the Frozen Forest Kilt for this look, as it goes well with the chestpiece, but I just can’t do a Hunter in a skirt.  Too much like a shaman!

Drainee’s on Fire!

Well, not literally, but I think her dog is.  You have to wonder if it gets hot carrying a flaming polearm around on your back.   The Hellreaver is another one of those items I first experienced leveling my Blood Elf DK.  I’ve never really understood why they don’t have more strength polearms in the game, but at least there’s plenty of agility ones for hunters to transmog!

This was the first outfit I transmogged.  I was so excited about the feature, I bought a bunch of greens off the AH and copied my hunter over to the PTR to play around.  I liked it so much, I ‘mogged this look the first day.  The mail is very prounounced in the set, which is always nice, and I think the pockets on the pants add an excellent utility feel.

Hunters don’t use ammunition in-game anymore, but if Drainee needed some spare bullets, leg pockets seem like the perfect place to keep them.  Maybe some treats for Knucklehead too, he’s a good Demon dog, although you don’t have to feed your pets in-game anymore either.  Playing a hunter used to be a lot more work.  My very first character was a hunter.  I only played for a weeks, got to level 25 or so, but it was way back in Burning Crusade before they started changing hunters.  At that time, if you wanted to get rid of a pet, you would choose Abandon Pet, at which time the thing would turn around and attack you!  If you planned to be standing around the city for a long time, you had to dismiss your pet.  The longer you stayed inactive, the unhappier your pet got, and they would eventually leave you.  When I picked the game up again at the beginning of Wrath they had taken those two mechanics out, t it wasn’t until later in Wrath they removed ammo, and with Cata came the elimination of the pet happiness system.

Well, now that the history of pets in WoW is out of the way, lets talk about this look! To the left you can see the whole Marshcreeper Mail set.  It comes with strange red shoulders that don’t match at all.  I picked some silver scaley shoulders that coordinate well enough.  I also replaced the ankle wraps for some real boots.  For some reason I am anti skinny boots.  Boots should be large and in charge!  One of my biggest challenges in making outfits is finding boots that don’t look like 80’s leg warmers.  The Marshcreeper Items and the Sundered Spaulders are all Burning Crusade level BOE’s

Head – none
Shoulders – Sundered Spaulders
Chest – Marshcreeper Fen-Vest
Hands – Marshcreeper Gloves
Waist – Marshcreeper Belt
Legs –  Marshcreeper Leggings
Feet – Scaled Draenic Boots
Polearm – Hellreaver
Bow – Windrunner’s Bow

What is UP with that armory pose?  Once upon a time they upgraded the original armory to let you change your character’s pose.  Then, they upgraded it again, moved it to the battle.net site and for some reason lost that feature.  Drainee could really use it.
