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

Tags

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!

Woah What? Back to WOW!

back, birthday, Chatmay, draenor, return, warlock, world of warcraft, WOW

Today I turn 40.

I have already received some great gifts including a rebuilt/fixed computer, and tonight I am getting a party.

But my husband started getting all weird and sneaky last night.  He booted me from the TV room and asked me not to look in here.  During that time, he was downloading the Draenor expansion.

When I came back in here after midnight, this is what I found as my desktop image:

And the present is… Chatmay!

As many of you know, I haven’t played WOW in over a year for various reasons, but it is great to be back… home!

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.

blog challenge, Chatmay, nemesis, transmog, warcraft, warlock, wowscreenshotaday

This blog challenge comes from Toonacious blog.  For February, I will be posting 28 days of screenshots here based on the daily themes.

February 1st is— “You”.

So I am posting a picture I made today of Chatmay… because even though she is an avatar, still me technically.

Chat is wearing the Nemesis Skullcover.  This is the first time I have ever transmogged it.

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!

Weird Post #1

Chatmay, warcraft, warlock, Wednesday, weird, world of warcraft, WOW

I haven’t been posting lately, so I have decided to try and post a “weird” thought for this week pertaining to WOW…..

So… THE WOW DEBUTANTE’s “WEIRD” THOUGHT #1:

Why can an alliance human female- 1) not be “evil”?

A dark, blue night for Chatmay

and 2) not still be a peppy, social player?

I have often had this thought when people have tried to tell me how to play my character, especially when I was on RPPVP and an RP servers before….

I would sometimes get- Chatmay just isn’t evil enough to be a warlock.  WTH?

Anyways, my thought for today is- be whatever it is you want to be… in-game or outside of it. And yes, I am still playing…

just not on Chatmay as much lately.
