It’s finally Mage Week in Lae’s alt appreciation whirlwind, and I’m super excited to share this mog! I mentioned I was working on this mog in my last Mage post, and I actually finished it awhile ago, but wanted to wait and join in the appreciation fun 😀
I’m really loving this mog now, but it was sort of a pain in the tail to put together. Of all the alts I took through the Molten Front back in Cata, Drayney was not one of them. When I decided I HAD to have this pink gloves, I had to start those dailies from scratch. 400 bazillion Marks of the World Tree later I finally had them, however I had neglected farming up the hood. It drops from Netherspite in Karazhan, and I had seen it drop so many times when I didn’t want it. Weeks after getting my gloves, it still hadn’t dropped for my mage though. Then, one night while updating the cloth helm pictures on Mog Companion I had a huge derp moment. I updated the picture for this hood, grumbled about it not dropping and moved on. About an hour later I thought, ‘too bad I’m not a Warlock, they can just buy the hood with some Cenarion Expedition rep…’, then ‘wait! Wasn’t there a third item listed as the same model?’ That’s when the derp came, hardcore. The hood is also a quest reward from Icecrown. A quest I didn’t do, and towards the beginning of the zone! So, I ran off to get my hood and promised myself I would thoroughly check the same model as tab next time XD
Anyhow, I thought the mix of pink and purple was a good look for an arcane mage. The belt and bracers are a little warlock-y, but those shoulders say “Hey! I’m a mage! I will Arcane Blast you in the face!”
