Wow, it’s been forever since I posted an outfit I’m actually wearing in game!  I feel like I’ve been trying to make these mage outfits work for just as long.  I get frustrated by the selection of cloth belts, and then just don’t post about them.  I’ve decided to just make the post, and then I can move on with my Mage’s life! Lol.  For a long time, Drayney was mogged into the Brutal Gladiator’s Regalia.  It was a quick and easy mog that I used in place of what I wished she was wearing: The Field Marshal’s Regalia.  That is such an awesome set, and I was pretty heartbroken the first day of transmog to find out I couldn’t use any of the pieces.  I truly hope they lift that restriction on day, because I have honestly never seen anyone, not even a level 60, in any of that pinky-purpley goodness.

Anyhow, enough of that sad story!  Here’s a spirit lifter: When I was farming for the staff for the ‘arcane’ version of this look, I finally got the Swift White Hawkstrider from Magister’s Terrace!  It’s the first rare mount in my collection, and I’m glad I went all the way to Kael’ everytime, even though the staff dropped off the second boss.

So, the idea I had going on here was using the same shoulder model in an outfit for all three mage specs.  I used the Arcanist Mantle, from the Mage Tier 1 set, and the red and blue recolors.  I’ll start with the ‘Arcane Mage’ version, using the original Arcanist Mantle.  I was a runner up in the last Proudmore WoW Factor show in this look.  It’s my favorite of the three, although I switched to the ‘Fire Mage’ set for the Midsummer Fire Festival.

Arcane Mage: Shoulders – Arcanist Mantle Chest – Alanna’s Embrace Hands – Jumanza Grips Waist – Ruthless Gladiator’s Cord of Accuracy Staff – Warpstaff of Arcanum

Fire Mage: Head – Cowl of the Grand Engineer Shoulders – Mindrage Pauldrons Chest – Simple Robe Hands – Red Mageweave Gloves Waist – Voidweave Cilice Staff – Rod of the Blazing Light

I would prefer not to have a belt with this version. The dress already has the empire waist, so it’s like she’s wearing two belts! Perhaps Blizzard will take cue from the Acherus Knight’s Girdle, and make invisible belts for all armor classes! I’m going to cross my fingers for that, because the version below could use it too.

Frost Mage: Head – Augural Shroud Shoulders – Frozen Shadoweave Shoulders Chest – Robes of the Exalted Wrists – Wristguards of Subterranean Moss Hands – Safegaurd Gloves Waist – Replica Virtuous Belt Staff (not shown) – Staff of Divine Infusion
