Fly Draenei Friday – Scary Face!

Yay! Fly Draenei Friday time!  This week’s reader submission is super fly, and yet, a little scary :O Dat Helmet!

Juggsbunny

Dragonslayer Juggsbunny of Zangarmarsh (US) looks like she’d scare the pants off of any dragon she ran accross!  Here’s what she says about it:

“This is my mage Juggsbunny, her look finally came together after a key Sha of Anger kill. Lol. I get lots of complements on it. It’s a twist on the typical Cindercloth outfit.”

Helm: Sky-Sear Cowl
Shoulders: Consortium Mantle
Chest: Cindercloth Vest
Wrist: Earthmender’s Bracer of Shattering
Gloves: Gloves of the High Magus
Waist: Grom’tor’s Bloodied Bandage
Legs: Cindercloth Pants
Feet: Ashwalker’s Footwraps
Staff: Zhar’doom, Greatstaff of the Devourer

This look would be great if Draenei ever get to be warlocks!  It’s definitely super fly, thanks for sending your mog in!

Don’t forget, if you, or someone you know is a fly Draenei, send me a screenie!  I love featuring my readers’ mogs 😀

 

Here’s some fly Draenei I’ve spotted in my travels around Azeroth:

Bluepaizuri
     
Jza
I spotted Bluepaizuri in Alterac Valley one night, and was so glad she decided to come defend Tower Point with me! I love her monk transmog so much, I even posted a similar one for Pink for a Cause, but her Stylin’ Purple Hat really makes her look rock!  The Runetotem’s Mantle looks great with the Headhunter’s set. Jza‘s blue and white look is simple, but awesome!  The Sage’s set is accented by her guild tabard, and Sage’s Mantle – which is not actually part of the set. Key to the Planes is a great staff for this look, and the Dreadful Gladiator’s Mooncloth Helm is a fun touch.
Ællai
     
Saliona
Ællai is only level 48, but she is leveling in style!  This is a great black & white transmog for any level. Silver-Thread Amice, Sash and and Gloves, with Buccaneer’s Vest and Boots, and Aurora Pants.  The Flying Tiger Goggles are super cute too! Saliona‘s mog starts with the Deathbone Girdle and Stoneform Shoulders, from the old Scholo. The rest of her black pieces with the slightest hint of purple make for a great look! Warrior’s Embrace, Bogslayer Gauntlets, Direwing Legguards, and Treads of Crushed Flesh.

Black Ninja Monk Transmog

swords

For some reason, I tend to try and stay away from using rogue-ish pieces in my monk mogs.  It’s a silly self-imposed rule, especially because Draenei look amazing in rogue gear!  So, I’ve decided to stop being silly and make some ninja inspired monk mogs!

Fly Draenei Friday – Silver Covenant

Welcome back to another FDF!  This week I have another awesome mog from reader Simon.  You can see his first one here.  This time he’s done an NPC look-alike mog, or should I say a ‘look better than the npc’ mog 😉  Here’s what he had to say about it:

simon_crop

 

“Now, I don’t remember much from first entering Dalaran but as an Alliance I sure do remember the high elf guards standing outside A Hero’s Welcome had that one thing that gave the fact that they were battle mages away by simply glancing over at them. By that time, I was a human paladin and and transmogging was not around. But now that I have got my level 90 draenei mage, I’ve done my best to replicate it ^^”

Great job once again!  You can see the inspiration here. The Goldweave Tunic and Blue Linen Shirt are a great choice to replicate the original chestpiece, as both are very detailed.  Head over to wowhead to see all the items he used, including a sword and book to go with it!  Thanks for sending her in Simon, keep up the amazing mog work!!

 
 
 

You know the deal, now for some fly Proudmoore-ites!!

Storminnorma
     
Zenicus
Storminnorma used the Lawbringer Belt and Greaves of the Martyr as excellent accents to her Judgement Set pieces. Zenicus is one super fly dude in Aldor Regalia with Angelista’s Sash, and the Apostle of Argus for a staff.
Kundun
     
Kylahgedon
Kundun is another Draenei monk looking amazing in Rogue gear! The Cowl of Defiance tops off Tier 8 recolor pieces. Kylahgedon‘s choice of shoulder here is really great.  She’s wearing Stormcaller’s Pauldrons with the Battleforge set.
 

Hope you enjoyed this week’s fly Draenei! Remember, if you, or someone you know is pretty fly, send me in a screenshot and I’ll feature it here!

The Amazing Transmog Survivor Contest…

…that I did not survive! LOL

The equally amazing JD over at Amateur Azerothian is up to his craziness again.  This time he is running the “Amazing Transmog Survivor Contest“.  That guy and his wild ideas, I love them!!  This contest is a tad more simple than his previous contest.  Each round mogs must be submitted per his guidelines.  He’ll then pick one person to grant immunity too, and the rest of the entrants are subject to a randomly chosen axing.  He says it’s based on the rules of the show Survivor, and I’m going to believe him since I’ve never watched it 😉

As you can guess, I got the RNG boot in the first round. *sad face*  I love the challenge of coming up with a mog based on a prompt.  Oh well, I can still play by myself on my blog, teehee!  I don’t envy JD with trying to pick an immunity winner, as the first round entrants where all pretty awesome.  You can see them all here.

The first round challenge was to create a Disciple of Har’koa, as in someone who would perhaps worship or follow Har’koa.

I love the colors of the cat, the frosty white accented by an almost-aqua blue.  It actually inspired my previous post about my Ultimate Mog, since I kept hitting those pieces in MogIt while putting my entry together.  So, here she is, the Disciple that didn’t make it, lol:

surv01
 

Head – Titan-Forged Hood of Salvation

Shoulders – Titan-Forged Shoulderpads of Domination

Chest – Mooncloth Robe

Hands – Sanctified Crimson Acolyte Handwraps

Waist – Lingering Illness

 
 
 
 
 

Good luck to the remaining survivors!  Watch your back for that RNG, she’s a real bitch 😀

My Ultimate Mog – Field Marshal’s Raiment

priestMy level 60-something priest, forgoing heirlooms to wear the game’s most beautiful gear 😉

When transmog was first announced, way back in Sept. 2011, I immediately started planning what I wanted my characters to wear.  I didn’t know much about mixing and matching, and mostly had sets planned for my mogs.  Purple Judgement for my pally, Marshcreeper mail for the hunter, and this gorgeous set for my mage:

Field Marshal’s Regalia

Imaging my disappointment on that bright Tuesday morning transmog was released, and I was greated by this:

Pretty much crushing.  I picked up the Brutal Gladiator’s Regalia, mogged her into that, and resigned myself to being bummed about it.  Turns out the level 60 pvp gear you can buy in Stormwind can’t be used for trasnmog.  They actually have replica gear available in Area 52, but only if you attained those PvP titles back in classic WoW.  Well gee, if I had only known the future, I would have started playing 4 years earlier than I did! >.>  On the one hand, I understand those titles were quite difficult to attain, and this gear is sort of the last status symbol left.  I’ve only seen about 5 or 6 people even mogged into any of the Replica PvP gear.  On the other hand, though, I want my purple spiky shiny shoulders!!!  I’ve heard that these titles can be attained through Rated Battlegrounds these days.  There isn’t a whole lot of information I’ve been able to find, cause who really is going to devote their life to RBG’s just for transmog? (Uh, LF RBG group that just needs one more person to queue and doesn’t care that I’m not pro, I’ll try not to die too much?)

I’ve been leveling my priest up lately, and the other day I was messing around in MogIt when I realized this may be my one chance to wear beautiful Field Marshal’s gear!  Luckily I had done some bg’s earlier in my leveling and had enough honor to buy the pieces.  20% xp bonus be damned, I’d much rather look good 😀  I also realized I may actually like the priest set better than the mage set, and that I’d finally recovered from my initial disapointment only to have it come creeping back in the form of white spiky shiny shoulders.  So, while I can’t actually mog this stuff for the time being, I do want to share my ultimate dream mog:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
shoulders
 

Another variation on the set:

Shoulders – Field Marshal’s Satin Mantle

Chest – Robes of the Exalted

Waist – Fermenting Belt

Gloves – Marshal’s Satin Gloves

back
Back view of the full set
 
Well, that’s my dream mog, how about you?  Do you have a dream mog set you may or may not ever get to use, be it rng nightmares or just too damn hard to get?

Fly Draenei Friday – Asuî

It’s been a few too many weeks without FDF action!  Let’s get to it!

Fly Asui

This week’s fly reader mog comes from Asuî of Moonglade(EU).  I love the artistic portrait shots she’s sent in 🙂  Her outfit is highlighted beautifully with Vashj’ir as a background!  Asuî is wearing the Jade Plate set with Bile-Etched Spaulders, Tabard of Summer Skies, Twilight Cape, and the Scepter of Sha’tar. Super Fly!  Thank you so much for sending you mog in Asuî, and you are right, looking at lovely mogged Draenei is never a bore!

 

Now for some awesome mogs I’ve spotted recently, including one I found thanks to CRZ :O

Dêcadêncê
     
Dvartis
Dêcadêncê has a nice aqua and purple look going on here.  The Royal Qiraji Belt looks really great with the Imbued Plate Armor and Revenant Leggings. Dvartis has a very simple, yet elegant look here. I love the way this belt works with this dress model, as it’s always been a challenge finding one.
Lightbreeze
    
Orphyria
I spotted Lightbreeze while CRZ’d with some friends on Lightbringer.  Another awesome use of the MoP belt, and the Collar of Cho’gall works really well with the priest tier 4 pieces. Orphyria is fully decked out in the Replica Heroism set, which is just gorgeous. The Golden Lotus Tabard is a great accent to the set, and grats to her for sticking through the 8 years of dailies it took to get the tabard 😉

Pretty Fly Gifts!

I posted earlier about the Fly Draenei gals heading to Shattrath to celebrate Winter Veil this year.  Let’s see what they got each other!

Drayney’s gift, Ancient Tome of Portal: Dalaran really makes her giggle.  It looks
just like a regular portal to Dalaran, but it sends victims friends to the old Dalaran
crater, after she casts slow fall on them, of course 😉
All three sisters also got a Cinder Kitten!
 
Draynee was super excited to receive The Hammer of Destiny!
She had been wanting one since seeing the super fly Hammer Toss
outfit from the Mogolympics.  Looks like her new year will be
full of PVP so she can complete the look!
 
Drainee was so happy about her gift, she put it on right
there in the middle of the city!  The chest, gloves and legs
from the Warmonger’s set have her head spinning with
new transmog ideas!
 
I hope everyone had an awesome Winter Veil/Christmas and New Years!  Did you get just what you wanted, or any surprises from Old Father Winter? 🙂

Fly Furtive Father Winter

I received my Blog Azeroth Furtive Father Winter gift today, how exciting!!  My gift is from Tyledres at Frost and Claws.  I’ll update here once my gift to my secret blogger pal is done 😉
——————————————-

It was the feast of Winter Veil and like so many other members of the Alliance, Draynee headed to Ironforge to celebrate. It looked like Great Father Winter was being especially generous this year.

Under the tree there was a human death knight. The death knight was holding a rather shabbily wrapped gift and was stopping all the Draenei and asking, “Excuse me, but are you Draynee? Or do you know where I can find her?”

Stepping forward Draynee said, “I’m Draynee! Who are you and why are you looking for me?”
“I’m Tyledres, and I was told to give this gift to you,” the death knight said. She started to hand it forward when a mage blinked between the two.

“Wait a minute!” cried the mage. Staring at Tyledres she said, “You’re not supposed to be here! You’re not a Draenei and you don’t transmog your gear!”

Tyledres glance at her gear. It looked good to her. She especially like the skulls. Staring at the mage’s outfit she couldn’t help but remark, “But at least I don’t look like a color-blind space gypsy!”

“I’m festive not color-blind!” screamed the mage as she cast polymorph polar bear on Tyledres.
The mage couldn’t help grinning at the polar bear. “She’s definitely looking more festive now.” The mage than turned her gaze to Draynee. “Sorry about that,” she said, “I’m Azilem the mage.”

Azilem stared expectantly at Draynee and made a quick adjustment to her hat. Clearly Azilem was waiting for Draynee to say something. “Um hi Azilem,” began Draynee. Remembering how the mage reacted when her outfit was disparaged she decided to compliment it instead. “That’s an interesting outfit you put together.”

“It’s pretty amazing isn’t it?” gushed Azilem. If you want to recreate I made it from these pieces:

Head: Red Pointy Hat

Shoulder: Hibernal Mantle

Chest: Red Linen Vest

Shirt: Scarlet Filigreed Doublet

Hands: Windwool Gloves

Waist: Captain Sander’s Sash

Legs: Greenblood Pantaloons

Feet: Fire Striders

wowhead

Whistling happily Azilem than thrust the gift the death knight Tyledres had been holding into Draynee’s hands and began to cast a portal. Once finished she grabbed the polar bear death knight, tossed it though the portal and then followed herself.

Feeling a bit bemused Draynee than looked at the gift that had been thrust into her hands. It looked like a three-year-old had wrapped it and it smelled a little funny. Wondering if the smell came from having been in the death knight’s possession or if it was from the gift itself Draynee carefully unwrapped the gift.

Inside she found this drawing –

Happy Holidays Draynee and to everyone else as well!
——————————————-
Thanks Tyledres!  I love the post, and especially the drawing 😀  It’s the first drawing I’ve ever gotten of any of my characters!  It’s super fly!!  Thanks Akabeko and Blog Azeroth for hosting this event!

This Post is Bananas!

My  friend Ultros calls these the ‘Paladin Banana Shoulders’! wowhead

I had never used twitter before having my blog, and I thought joining it would be a great way to connect with other bloggers  I was right about that!  I love chatting with other WoW bloggers, you-tubers and podcasters over there.  I’ve made a few ‘twitter pals’, and one of those is the amazing Joe (@wowmartiean).  He does awesome videos, and recently launched his own site wowmartiean.com.  We were talking one day about him blogging on his site when this happened:

I can’t get the thought about a banana post out of my head!  Joe’s going through some RL stuff, so now seems like a great time for bananas and to give my bud a shout-out!  Head over to his site and check out his vids, and if you love them like I do, he’s got a donate button there too 🙂

Now, about those bananas!  I was really surprised at how many banana-related things there are in game!

From wowhead

One of my favorites is The Golden Banana, which is a quest reward from Krasarang Wilds.  You can use it to throw a banana on the ground!  It’s one of those great useless, yet fun items introduced in Mists.

 
 

Another super-fun Mists item is the Magic Banana.  It drops from a rare in Valley of the Four Winds names Bonobos .  What an awesome title.  You can use this item to toss a banana that will make another player slip and fall on their bootay.  Here’s a video of it – hilarious!

 
 
From wowhead
 

If you’re bananas over battle pets, this cute little guy’s name is Bananas.  He is a companion pet from the Trading Card game.  One of his pet battle abilities is Banana Barrage, which is cool, but I wonder where he keeps all those bananas to hurl…

 
 
 
From wowhead

Finally, if you’re a little hungry after looking at all those ‘nana picutres, you can always pick up some Soft Banana Bread and wash it down with a Banana Cocktail.  If those don’t satisfy, you can pick up some Tel’Abim Bananas and make Banana Infused Rum with the leftovers!  The Banana Infused Rum is made with a Way of the Brew recipie and requires 600 skill in that Way, but it sounds way worth all of the crazy ingredients, as it turns you into a Hozen Pirate for 30 seconds!

Well, I hope you enjoyed my silly look at banana things, and I hope you can check out Joe’s vids.  I know he appreciates everyone who does 🙂
