I have owed a lot to my husband’s playing of WOW over the many years.  The mass amount of mounts, pets, and achievements were all done by him, not me!

This past month, I have gotten two great things in game, again, because my husband has been playing around with the game again.

The one I want to feature in this post is the Blazing Wings item, which counts as a toy.  It is the reward for the Brood of Alysrazor achievement at The Darkmoon Faire, which is flying through rings in the air.

Since I did not get any screenshots of the Faire or achievement for this post, I am posting this link to a video that shows how to do it.  My husband says it is harder than it looks at first.

Here is me trying on my Wings for the first time from the toy selection tab.

Trying on a new toy.

So I put together a firey outfit to match the wings, and this is what I came up with:

Darkmoon Faire gives you wings!

The items are:

Jewel of The Firelord (cosmetic)
Cloudscorcher Shoulderpads of the Impatient
Balespider’s Robes
Runecloth Belt *
Incineratus
Igniter Rod

I am wearing Runecloth Belt in the picture because I am wearing the wrong belt.  I had intended to use Embereye Belt.  Oh well.

Dancing with wings.

The item lasts for 15 minutes with a 30 minute cooldown, and it looks AWESOME!

Another treat from my husband recently was finally getting the Ashes of Al’ar mount!  Now we have a hot pink mount… woot!

Meridiane on new mount.

So, if you have never played with your significant other- put them to work!  It really pays off.

While perusing through all my transmog gear, I added two pieces to my collection from the auction house last night- Soulcloth Vest and Soulcloth Gloves.  I don’t know if there are other matching pieces, but this is what I paired with these two.

On Top Of The World

I put this together as kind of a warlock-hanging-out-outfit.  The top almost looks like a bandeau with some matching pants I had, Cataclysmic Gladiator’s Felweave Trousers, and a belt that ties it together, Angelista’s Sash.

Better View Of Sword

To match the purple and blue, I used Greatsword of Horrid Dreams weapon and Orb of The First Satyrs off-hand.

I went with purple shoulders, Jan’alai’s Spaulders, and a simple, Draenor helm, Hermit’s Hood.

Chatmay’s First Draenor Transmog

black, Chatmay, Deathbringer, robes, transmog, transmogging, transmogrification, warlock, world of warcraft, WOW

I have been playing for almost a month.  I waited until I was 100 on Chatmay, my “alt” now, to work on a transmog.  Here is what I came up with!

I came up with this black transmog quickly based on her current robe, which is the crafted, Sumptous Robes of the Deft.  I loved it, so I wanted some dark pieces to go with it.

I found the shoulders to match first.  They are black and feathery and remind me of The Dark Crystal or an arakkoa even!  So I threw on these: Valorous Deathbringer Shoulderpads.

Also, I added two other token pieces: Conqueror’s Deathbringer Hood and the gloves, Conqueror’s Deathbringer Gloves.  The helm token is from Ulduar, and the gloves are from VOA.  If you can’t get the gloves, any big, showy, and black gloves will do the trick!

Chatmay is also wearing a green waist, Voidwrap Cord.  The boots are just black ones I had on, Felcast Sandals Of The Aurora.  Any black shoes/boots would work that covers the toes at least.

The finishing touch is a wand I have had for a long time, Bonecreeper Stylus.  Kind of makes Chatmay look like Lady Death.

There you have it!  I will show Meridiane’s transmog coming soon!

Chatmay’s Best Transmog Ever

Tags

Chatmay, cloth, purple, transmog, transmogged, transmogging, transmogrification, warcraft, warlock, world of warcraft, WOW

I have decided that this has to be the best transmog I have ever done… tons of purple here, a warlock’s favorite color, plus it perfectly goes with my new guild tabard.

Chatmay’s Close-up

I decided to make this outfit and base it around my new shoulders, which I totally love.  I got them in LFR.  The tabard is from my new guild, <Dark Phoenix>.

Here are the items I used:

Darkmist Wizard Hat
Shoulderpads of Dou Dou Chong
Conqueror’s Deathbringer’s Robe
Gloves of the Thousandfold Hells
Frostwoven Belt
Sandals of the Shadow
Cape of the Black Baron (not shown in pics)
Namlak’s Supernumerary Sticker
Orb of the First Satyrs

Whew.

with weapon and OH

The dagger is the only item I am iffy about… and only because of it’s glow color.  Besides the level 90 gear, everything is pieces I have saved or collected over the past few years except the crafted belt, which I bought on the auction house.

WOW Celebrity-Look Cloth Gear

I was wondering today about the people that design gear for WOW.  What are they thinking sometimes when they come up with these outfits?

So I googled celebrity fashion of course.  Here are some celebrities who inspired (or were inspired by, not sure) WOW cloth looks:

Nicole Kidman at People’s Choice Awards wore a backless gold top, which resembles Calico Tunic-, a top Chatmay wore in my “Get This Party Started” WOW music video:

Nicole’s backless top

Chatmay’s backless top

Kate Hudson is wearing a white dress that kind of resembles the Elegant Robes, one of my favorite robes in-game.

Kate’s summer dress

Chat’s favorite robe

Hudson’s dress is also similar in color and style to Mooncloth Robe, which I wore with a white shirt for a guild winter party.

Mooncloth Robe with white shirt

 In this photo of Taylor Swift, she is wearing an extremely low-cut gown.  You can get this cloth look in-game with several robes, although I found two of mine seemed lower-cut than the others.

Low Cut Resolution 

Chatmay wore one of these lower-cut robes when she dressed up as Elvira for yet another WOW Halloween contest using Thistlefur Robe.  I can’t find that screenshot, but here is a more recent shot of that chestpiece:

Low-cut with scary helm

Another low-cut option is Cataclysmic Gladiator’s Felweave Raiment, a pretty awesome robe from level 85 PVP.  With another scary helm….

Jagged edge

Finally, I’m not sure who this celebrity is, but she is wearing an off-the-shoulder dress that to me looks like Astralaan Robe, which my mage and my paladin (as RP gear) have both worn.

Off-the Shoulder WOW

Do you think these are good knock-offs?  What did I miss?

Stay tuned for more upcoming celebrity-WOW fashion posts!

Today’s Transmog Dilemma

Tags

Chatmay, cloth, staff, theramore tabard, transmog, transmogging, transmogrification, warcraft, warlock, white, world of warcraft, WOW

Don’t you hate it when you can’t decide on a transmog outfit?  The outfit that starts taking over an hour to make?

I started this with a simple idea- a warlock in white and gold.  Kind of- “I’m holier than thou” look? heh 😀

Turns out, there aren’t tons of white options for warlocks.  This started taking a while and costing a little money (I need to go back to using WOW Model Viewer!?).  Which wasn’t a big deal to me; it was more a bag space problem as usual.

The outfit was based on three pieces at first – Aurora Armor, the Theramore Tabard, and Vicious Embersilk Pants.  I also had on Sandals Of The Shadow at the time, which I decided to use to give some contrast and also because they have some white in them.

The first dilemma came with the helm.

I thought the white helm- Cowl of Destiny– looked kind of neat… plus I have never used it in a transmog since it hardly matches anything.  However, my son wanted me to use the gold helm- Gaze of the Unknown.

Touch of Blue

I was ok with the gold helm until I noticed that the back is blue (and there are feathers? around the bottom, no idea).  That doesn’t go with what I was wanting, but I modified the outfit to make my son happy by adding some blue items off the AH.  The gloves- Wind-Kissed Handwraps– and a staff with blue- Splintering Greatstaff.

Back of the Gaze helm

<Just for note here, I used Nemesis Bracers because they are very small and don’t add distraction to the gloves.>

I ended up later back with the white helm, and then I couldn’t decide on a staff without blue.  So I bought an old favorite, The Bringer Of Death.  I liked it because it added a warlock look, but it was a bit too much white at this point for me.

Death By Chatmay

The second staff I tried was Spire of Sunset.  Although it matched the color scheme, I thought it was kind of gawdy for the overall look.

Set in Theramore

I also tossed back and forth different shoulders and belts.  I ended up with Ruby-Linked Girdle to go with the boots and Pandaria xpac, but I did consider the white belt, Firewool Cord of the Wildfire.

For shoulders, I started with Elegant Mantle.  I decided it was too grayish, so I went with Vicious Embersilk Shoulders instead.

What do you guys think?  Which pieces should I use with what?  Feedback needed! 😀

Easy Transmogging

easy, pvp transmog, sycthe staff, transmog, transmogging, trasmogrification, warcraft, warlock, world of warcraft, WOW

You don’t like transmogging?  Getting grief in LFR for your ugly gear?

It’s really not that hard.

I brought Chatmay back to WOW (ie played again) this week.  This is the ugly mess I got when I bought some PVP crafted gear so I could do regular battlegrounds:

BEFORE

This mess included four pieces of 476 PVP gear, three of which were the Crafted set.  The other JP piece I already had from before and had been transmogged to Aurora Armor, thus the white top.  The shoulders and shoes are the Contender’s set.

So what did I do?  I simply replaced the chest, helm, and weapon transmogs.  I changed to this immediately:

AFTER

Robes of Fate
Staff of Justified Sins
Crown of Enfeebled Bodies

It’s definitely not the best set I have ever made – I am especially thinking the gloves need changed-, but this took about ten minutes or less of time.  And it looks a lot better than the first set.

Hope this helps!

PVP Video And Outfit for Intro

For all my previous WOW videos, I had Chatmay star as The WOW Debutante toon in the introduction.  Chatmay is not my main now though.

So today, I made a new introduction starring Meridiane, my priest.  And I finished my first PVP video!  Here is the video link:

Here is the purple outfit I put together for the intro… I was going for a feminine look:

Purple Princess Meridiane

Dragonkin Cowl of Arcane Resistance ~ NLA
Jan’alai’s Spaulders
Vestments of the Sleepless
Gloves of Ambivalence
Circle of Ossus
Amaranthine Sandals….

PLEASE leave comments! I want to hear what everyone thinks about my video.  I was trying to poke fun at all the naysayers.

Having Become a PVP-Head….

80 gear, holy priest, oqueue, priest, pvp, relentless gladiator's, transmog, transmogging, transmogrification, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW

Having played since vanilla, I was always into PVE first.  Raids, raids, and more raids.  I was often raid assist or formed the raids, and I even raid led in Cata.

But here it is…the end of 2013, and I have become a PVP junkie.

Rated BG in Gulch

I have always PVPd on the side.  A lot at first because I was on a RPPVP server, but even after I went to PVE servers I still was in the BGs and sometimes arenas.

Now though, I have my Oqueue every time I am on, my PVP addons, and my PVP friends on the real ID.  Not many PVP on my server, but I can always find the few and true to go into BGs with if nothing else.

I am a bit behind right now having only two pieces of grievous.  I had taken a break from rateds and lost my arena partners, so I have mainly been hanging out doing whatever I can.  But even in tyrannical gear, I am topping regular BGs in heals consistently.  Check out how much I overhealed everyone in this Alterac Valley- 10,250,219! (plus my DPS was 1,485,608)….

Also, I got the End of the Line achievement recently by single-handedly taking a mine cart in Silvershard Mines away from a SHADOW priest right before she was going to cap it.  I literally went HA out loud.  (then kicked myself for not getting it on FRAPS or screenshot)  I am also known to take on DKs, hunters, and boomkins by myself if completely bored in a battleground.

To announce my PVP-love to the world, I have now even transmogged my PVE gear (still low on the charts) to old PVP gear.  Since I was honor capped, I converted my honor to justice points and bought Lich King level PVP gear.  Here is what I came up with:

PVE to PVP

This outfit is basically level 80 PVP gear I got in Dalaran with a few other pieces:

Relentless Gladiator’s Mooncloth Robe
Relentless Gladiator’s Mooncloth Helm
I THINK I used the Relentless gloves and belt
Rime-Rift Shoulders
Waterfall Sandals
Tyrannical Gladiator’s Energy Staff

I have now started working on my first PVP video, and I hope to post it soon!
