Greetings Draenei Enthusiasts!!  I hope you all are enjoying Warlords 😀  I had an excellent time leveling. The stories, the scenery, getting back to my draenei “roots”, it’s all wonderful!  The cut-scenes especially have been fantastic. I won’t spoil the alliance-side story, but there were some tears shed by me (if you haven’t done at least Shadowmoon Valley, stop reading and go do it).  It has been so long since I posted a FDF, I have shots of old and new models to share!  Thanks everyone who sent these in, I really appreciate them and the kind words you send with them 🙂  This is kind of a big post, but I wanted to get them all in!

First up is Akasiya. Her mix of Lofty Plate with pieces from the LFR version of pally Tier 16 is stunning!  Got to love the proc on the legendary cloak setting it all off! Chest & Legs: Lofty Plate; Shoulders, Gloves, Belt: Winged Triumph Plate (Raid Finder); Quel’Delar, Might of the Faithful.

Cori took the helm, shoulders and chest from the Grievous Gladiator’s shaman set and jazzed them up with some chunky gloves, a thin belt, and Earthfury Legguards. Nice job on picking the pants, took me awhile to figure which ones they even were 😉

This is Griffon’s warrior, who they mogged around the title “Light of the Dawn”.  They said it looked like someone with a high ranking, who still got out there and fought! I agree! Shoulders, chest, gloves, legs and boots – Wrynn’s Battlegear; Grizzlemaw Belt; Crown of Empowered Fate; and two Blades of Wizardry.

Jádzia’s fiery mage is a surprise post from Rinzlers, who sent the pictures in a few months ago. A little late, but SURPRISE! Circle of Flame, Mantle of Closed Doors,
Cindercloth Vest, Emberflame Bracers, Cindercloth Gloves,
Gossamer Belt, Cindercloth Pants, Cindercloth Boots, and Spire of Scarlet Pain.

Here’s is Kynni’s monk in a fun ninja-ish look! Bonechewer Skincloak and Shoulderguards, Burnt Leather Vest, Bard’s Gloves and Boots, Ceremonial Leather Loincloth, Red Belt of Gentle Persuasion and Terokk’s Quill.

This is Namiko’s “dangerous yet sensual look”, taking advantage of the death knight invisi-belt to show off her pants’ cool waistline. Ghost Forge Helm; Lofty Shoulders, Breastplate and Armguards; Exalted Gauntlets; Acherus Knight’s Girdle; Inkling’s Leggings; and Invisiboots with Headstriker Sword.

This is a fiery paladin mog from Shieldmaiden. Jewel of the Firelord, Avenger’s Pauldrons, Hyperion Plate, Orange Mageweave shirt, Blazing Rapier and Dawnforged Defender.

Syliana is full-time wearer of sexy armours and wielder of Shadowmourne in her spare-time. For now she’s ready for combat with the Elementium Poleaxe. Valorous Darkruned Pauldrons, Enchanted Thorium Breastplate, Saltstone Armsplints, Diemetradon Plate Gloves, Acherus Knight’s Girdle, Cenarion Thicket Legplates and Faded Forest Burnished Greaves.

Finally, we have Zanara who wanted a mog that is “quintessentially draenei and also take elements from the new xpac”. A great mix of new and old! Amice of the Stoic Watch, Rangari Initiate Vest, Ku’targ’s Merciless Grips, Belt of the Blood Nova, Blademoon Chain Leggings, Rangari Initiate Sabatons, Hammer of Atonement and Aldori Legacy Defender.

Thanks again for the submissions! I have some posts in the works, hopefully I’ll have them up soon 😉

An interesting new feature popped up on the PTR this week, well, besides the fact that the PTR is for patch 6.0!  The barber shop has a new addition, a face selector.  I know many of us (including me) have been concerned about not liking the new faces and being able to change them without paying for it.  Well, fear not! Just a quick trip to the barber and about 30g and you can change your face as often as you like!  I did a mega-comparison of all the draenei faces to celebrate.  Over at World of Lae, she’s done a great post comparing the faces, skin color, hair styles and horns between the live and beta character creation screens, so be sure to check that out also!

PS – The haircolor isn’t changing, I just used the wrong one when I took my live shots!

OMG I had a whole FDF written out and Blogger ATE IT 🙁  I miss you guys, this is what I’ve been up to the past month:

Tomorrow will be Fly Draenei Saturday when I’m not so pissed at web browsers and blogging apps 😛

Why hello there Draenei enthusiasts!  I hope you’ve been enjoying the steady stream of Fly Draenei Fridays 🙂  I’ve been working on a few mogs of my own, but I really want to wear them, and haven’t completed any of them yet!  One outfit I’m putting together for my mage includes gloves from a Molten Front vendor.  Kids these days think the Golden Lotus are a sucky grind, they have nothing on these Hyjal peeps from the last expansion, lol!  At 13 tokens a day, I needed 150 tokens to unlock the first stage of these dailies, and at 30 tokens a day, 150 more to I think unlock the vendor guy.  That second stage is really only 5 days, but ya know when you can’t bring yourself to do the dailies every day, it kinda drags out…

So, I’ve been seeing some super fly mogs on other blogs and thought I’d share them in case you haven’t seen them!

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!

Wow Item Creator!

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!
