Level 90 Hunter Transmog

I don’t think the host, JD Kenada, or the judges knew what they were getting themselves into a few months ago. What started as a few WOW bloggers competing against each other’s transmogs ended up being 47 contestants and over 450 outfits.

The winners can be seen here. Even more awesome is that JD has made a website just as an archive of this event (still in progress)!

Ok so here are pictures of my outfits from the last three categories that were featured:

FENCING (1h sword)

Pally set…or is it?!

This was the most frustrating outfit I had to make, mainly because my husband’s toon not only had full bags but also a full bank and full void storage. I think I spent two hours sorting gear sets and deleting/DEing/selling anything possible. (he ended up having duplicates of several items)

I was really proud of myself with the finished result- this outfit looks like a matched set, but it is actually about 1/2 level 70 gear and 1/2 level 85 gear. I finished it off with a weapon enchant and a shield off the auction house that matched.

The criteria for this category was “best use of a 1h sword,” but I did notice that all three medalists used a fencing-type-sword, not just any sword.

Items used for this paladin outfit: Brighthelm of Justice, Overlord’s Spaulders, Pillager’s Cloak, Breastplate of Fierce Survival, Gloves of Radiant Glory, Dragonfracture Belt, Legguards of Radiant Glory, Pillarfoot Greaves, Brutality Blade, and Stonewrought Shield.

FREESTYLE (Make up an NPC)

For Gnomeregan!

I got the idea in my head from the beginning that my NPC needed to be a musketeer. Then I ended up only having a male gnome left as far as gender/race combinations that I had at a “decent” level (I actually had to level this toon to equip the crafted musket). I came up with this description, which I sent the judges:

A musketeer was an early modern type of infantry soldier equipped with a musket. Musketeers were an important part of early modern armies. They sometimes could fight on horseback, like a dragoon or a cavalryman. The musketeer was a precursor to the rifleman. The Gnomeregan musketeers are steeped in tradition. While technology for the gnomes and types of military fighting have both progressed, the musketeers prefer to guard their home in the old ways of gun and sword. Being a Gnomeregan Musketeer requires a code of honor and loyal service to their race.

This was the hardest outfit to put together gear-wise because I had almost no gear saved on this toon, and the toon was not even level 70 yet. At one point I even got Model Viewer out just to figure out what gear I needed to go get.

I was a little bummed because I was not able to use the Gnomeregan tabard as part of my outfit since I was Gilneas faction (one of the rules). I did find, however, a purple chest to represent one of the Gnomeregan colors.

This leather outfit included: Cabalist Helm, Stormshroud Shoulders, Cloak of Healing Rays, Vest of Vengeance, Wicked Leather Bracers, Mighty Gauntlets, Wanderer’s Belt, Bard’s Trousers, Sure-Step Boots, Dazzling Mithril Rapier, Fel Iron Musket, and White Tuxedo Shirt.

EQUESTRIAN (outfit matching a mount)

Kossuth with Tyrael’s Charger

This may have been my favorite outfit entered. This was one of my lowest level toons used, but for some reason it came together really well.

The mail outfit uses the same gold, white, and blue/purple on the Tyrael mount. I used: Bonelink Helmet, Crusader’s Pauldrons, Durable Cape, Lord’ Breastplate, Ornate Gaunlets, Lord’s Girdle, Myrmidon’s leggings, Lord’s Boots, Ebonclaw Reaver, and Bone Slicing hatchet.

Thanks for the contest guys! It was really fun and gave me a reason to make more outfits for my blog!

The results of Transmogolympics are flying in very quickly lately. I looked tonight and realized I needed to do a blog update because I had missed so many results postings.

Some of the awards have been given without naming the scores for everyone, so I don’t know my scores in some cases. No medals so far though, and I have been scoring pretty low when it has been listed. A lot of competition out there though!

So here are my pictures from the new categories posted- hope you like them!

DISCUS (shield)

Cassie in Loch Modan

I was going for a black and gold look. The items used were: Mugthol’s Helm, Field Plate Pauldrons, Hydralick Armor, Glorious Bindings, Stonegrip Gauntlets, Alabaster Plate Girdle, Golem Shard Leggings, Obsidian Greaves, Serpent Slicer, and Blackskull Shield.

WRESTLING (Use of an Oversized Belt)

Magdakine Flexes For You

This is the first outfit I did. I put it together really quickly, and I love how it turned out. I wish I had made the screenshot somewhere different… Here are the pieces: Renouncer’s Cowl, Burden of Lost Humanity, Defender Tunic, Southfury Gauntlets, Belt of Shattered Elementium, Sundered Legguards, Tsunami Boots, Hammer of Sparks, and Goblet of Anger (not shown).

ARCHERY (bow)

Natural Woman (erm elf)

On this outfit I was going for a natural look. Some of these pieces are no longer available in game…. The pieces are: Cormorant Helm, Blessed Pauldrons of Undead Slaying, Myrmidon’s Breastplate, Eradicator’s Bracers, Thornsnarl Gauntlets, Southfury Belt, Blessed Greaves of Undead Slaying, Amberpine Greaves, Massive Battle Axe, and Vishanka, Jaws of the Earth.

JAVELIN (Polearm)

Deathknight Outfit

This is a red and black outfit for plate wearer on a nightelf DK. It includes- Greathelm of the Titan Protectorate, Rescuers Shoulderguards, Illidari Cloak…, Demon Forged Breastplate, Warlord’s Iron-Gauntlets, Forgemaster’s Shattered Shackle, Legguards of the Shattered Hand, Warlord’s Sabatons, and Hellreaver.

As some of you may remember, I entered 10 outfits in the Transmogolympics contest last month. First post here.

So far I am not doing so well.

The first category judged was cycling, which was creating a biker outfit to match the chopper mount. This was one of my least favorite outfits I put together because I had to use a dwarf male hunter (and he is ugly), so I did not medal. This is what I submitted:

Biker Dude

For anyone interested, the mail outfit is: Netherstorm Helm, Marshcreeper Mantle, War Torn Tunic, Grubbis Paws, Nightshock Girdle, Wrathfin Legguards, and Tsunami Boots.

The second category was hammer throw (2h mace shot). I really thought I would do better in this one, but my paladin only scored a 344 from the judges (I think gold was 386?). Was pretty disappointed, although I did originally have some concerns about the different shades of blue in the outfit. Here she is:

In The Name of the Hammer!

Plate outfit is: Symbolic Crown, Pauldrons of Unholy Rituals, Adamantite Breastplate, Truesilver Gauntlets, Belt of the Sanctuary, Talonguard Legplates, Icebane Treads, and Sorrow’s End.

I am hoping as the contest moves along, they will get to my better outfits so I can win a medal and show them off here. 😀

My Shaman Gives In

Those of you who follow my blog know I do not usually do two things in transmog-

1) I don’t wear something if I see anyone else on the server wearing it.
2) I usually go for mixed sets as opposed to tier sets.

That being said, it is inevitable that I pick up lots of green gear while leveling our mass amount of alts.

So I noticed the other day that my shaman star (you will soon see her Olympics Wrestling outfit) had several pieces of the Battleforge set in her bank. While I love the Battleforge set, almost every hunter at least on the server wears it.

First I ctrl clicked it, then I put it on, and I was hooked. I don’t even have the whole set, but man it looks good on my dranei.

So without further adieu. here is Magdakine in her Battleforge gear:

Battleforged

Battleforge Shoulders, Chest, Legs, Boots
Marshcreeper Belt
Gloves of the Raging Elements
Helm of Broken Bones
Vagaries of Time
Goblet of Anger

It is a little S&M looking with current helm and gloves, but maybe that will change. lol

Mog Challenge 2 For May – Mog Busting!

Yay! I have finally been tagged for Mog Busting!…um a week ago at least. :O

Hey I’m a mom, I was kind of busy! Promise!

Anyways, Mog Busting was started by Shoryl of Tiny WOW Guild. (original post) Bascially I have to create a transmog outfit for a WOW blogger’s toon based on their character preferences and background.

I was tagged by Erinys of The Harpy’s Nest blog. Here is the info I was provided:

Hunter named Twiceshy… likes to tailor her outfits to her pets, and since she’s about to head off on a mission to tame Chromaggus, she would love a suitable ensemble to wear out on the town with him.

When it comes to weapons, she’s most definitely a bow girl, crossbows if needs must…but never, ever guns. She is also quite partial to kilts but will also happily wear trousers or shorts.

Being ever so slightly feral, a side effect of being bitten and hanging out with animals all day long, showing skin doesn’t bother her at all. She doesn’t raid however, but everything else (i.e. not lv 85 raid content) is fair game.

I didn’t think the picture of Chromaggus on Petopia was very good, so I got my husband’s hunter out and checked him. He is actually a purple and light grey pet, not brown as it appears on petopia.

Actual Pet

The next thing I did was check leatherworking patterns for some purple pants. I found the Netherfury set and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, it is only pants, boots, and a belt…nothing else.

So I had already disregarded the kilt info…sorry! I also decided to disregard the showing skin info…this is Chromaggus we’re talking about honey, not your boyfriend. In other words, these teeth marks might not go away!

As someone you trusted with this transmog, I hereby reserve the right to protect human (um or worgen) skin from damage! So please accept the long sleeved chest and the padded helmet. Here is the entire outfit:

Purple Mail from Front

I didn’t notice until finished with the outfit that Twiceshy is only level 63, so you have a bit of work to do before you can attain all of this outfit… here are the components and where to get them:

Songscale Breastplate (quest Fjord)
Netherfury Leggings (crafted)
Netherfury Boots (crafted)
Netherfury Belt (crafted)
Spaulders of Sealing (quest Desolace)
Helm of the Awakened (SM quest)
Corin’s Handguards (quest Bloodmyst)
Cloak of the Reverend (Quest EPL)
Barb of the Sand Reaver (Temple of AQ)
Riphook (LBRS)

I used silverish gray in the chest, bow, and cloak especially to play off Chromaggus’s bindings. The pointy stick should come in handy if he refuses to budge or starts to trample innocent watchers.

Here is the back:

Purple Mail from Back

Anyways Erinys, hope you like the transmog! Hopefully the wish list isn’t too ridiculous…. And good luck with that new pet!

EDIT!!

OOPS I forgot to tag another blogger! ~~I am tagging Dizzy of Dizzy’s Dressing Room.~~ (challenge was not accepted)

5/20/12: Trying again, tagging Rades of Orcish Army Knife. Do Chatmay proud!

Here is my info/guidelines:

Chatmay at Lv 80

Chatmay is a longtime resident of Stormwind City and war veteran. She is known most of all for being a social butterfly and party hostess extraordinaire. Rebel and wild-child in her younger days, she has mellowed out a bit in her middle-aged years, but she still knows how to have fun. And even though she is known as friendly and outgoing in public, she occasionally makes a statement that it is not to be forgotten that she is a warlock.

Chatmay usually wears robes and loves ones that expose midriff or back. Pants/tops are ok as long as they are stylish. She rarely wears helms that show the neck but hide all of her hair (ew), but she does like hoods and masks.

Chatmay has recently acquired a dagger called Runesong Dagger, and is looking for something to wear with it. She won the dagger when greatly outnumbered, so she wants the outfit to be a reminder to everyone – don’t mess with me.

Please make sure to list items for both hand slots (or main hand if staff) as well as a wand.

Thanks!

Mog Madness, Round Two!

So they are moving the top 20 WOW bloggers to round two of Mog Madness– and I was number twenty! WHEW! I barely made it!

So I am having to step up my game here big time if I want to move to round three or even come close to being in the top three really.

This week’s directions were:

Now, we’re moving on to the wild. The classes are limited to either a Hunter or a Druid and your outfit must be based on using either Marrowstrike or Glaive of the Pit (same skin).

I usually always do my screenshots in game, and I would have tried to get the required polearm and other items just to do so. However, we switched to AT&T Uverse this week, and our internet connection has been sketchy at best for the past few days.

So, I have resorted to downloading WOW Modelviewer and putting my outfit together using that and wowhead.com to meet this week’s deadline. My screenshots are pretty basic this time because I am trying to learn how to use this program….

The polearm Marrowstrike had a blue and gold look, and it reminded me of some kind of knightly looking weapon. Using my hunter Illayeria, I put together a gladiator/valorous alliance type look for her with blue and gold colors.

Hunter FTW

This outfit used:
Hateful Gladiator’s Chain Helm
Vest of the Den Watcher
Skybreaker’s Mantle
Sparkleshell Legguards
Trumphant Gauntlets
Triumphant Sabatons
Ornate Girdle
Cromush’s Cloak
(and… MARROWSTRIKE lol)

Crossbow Shot

If I could have used a ranged weapon, I would have chosen:

Grand Marshal’s Repeater

GO ALLIANCE!!! (and go me to round three!)

Giddy Up!
