Transmog Happy

September 28, 2014 By Garwulf 1 Comment

Been absent from the blog, but I have been poking around in-game. My latest project has been leveling a Warrior alt that’s lay dormant for nearly 7 years. After leveling a Paladin this past year I discovered that I really enjoy tanking (who knew..?!), so I figured why not dust the Warrior off, throw some heirlooms on him and get him to 90. I love him! Warrior tanks are interesting and fun to play.

Apart from huntering in some random BGs and leveling alts, the other thing I’ve enjoyed doing is putting together transmog sets.

I just completed my Warrior’s set yesterday…

Warrior Lightforge Recolor

Lightforge Recolor with Ironfoe and King’s Bulwark

I wasn’t leveling this guy with a transmog plan, but when Ironfoe dropped for me on my first-ever run through BRD, I started looking around at different set ideas. I figured a weapon that rare deserved to be complimented by a sharp looking wardrobe. 😉

I’m not really that keen on most of the Warrior dungeon sets, and I lean towards more of the classic looks, which is why the Lightforge Recolor set really caught my eye. My choice for shield was the King’s Bulwark. The set pieces are available in normal mode TBC dungeons, so it’s fairly easy to gather up; however, getting some of the pieces to drop for you can be a pain. I was able to gather most of the pieces while leveling through random dungeons, but I had to go back to grab the chest piece and boots.

The boots dropped during my first run of The Escape from Durnholde, but I lost the roll to a Ret Pally. After that run it took about 18 more attempts to get them to drop again. Neeedless to say, I’ve had about enough of that dungeon for awhile.

Heres a look at my Orc hunter transmog…

Hunter Green Transmog

Green Brackwater Mail Hunter Transmog

This set started when I snagged a cheap pair of Elven Chain Boots from the auction house. I’ve always liked the look of those boots for a hunter, so I went to see if there were any pieces to match. Turns out there are chest and legs that match. To finish off the set I added a couple of pieces of Fel Iron Chain (helm and gloves), some Thick Scale shoulders and a Der’izu belt. Lastly, I finished the set off with a Shrieking Bow. The bow really helps seal the look because it further ties in the shades of green present on the Fel Iron Chain, shoulders and belt.

As far as I’m aware, this set is pretty original. I’ve not seen it shown anywhere else, and it definitely came together organically. I more or less scanned the auction house – trying on different greens until I got a look that I liked.

I’m pretty happy with it!

and then there’s Garwulf…

Grand Marshal Hunter Transmog

Vanilla Hunter PvP Transmog

Because I can, and because I really do like the look of it, I choose to roll with the old school Hunter PvP set. I have another transmog idea for a PvE set, but that one’s going to be tough. If I ever get that one finished you can bet that I’ll post screenshots. 😉

My next mission will be to get my 90 Pally mogged out. He’s sporting a matched set of MoP quest plate, which looks decent, but I’m wanting to deck him out something a bit more fabulous. I’m leaning towards the Judgement Recolor for him.

The shield doesn’t jive too well, but my son insisted I use that look, so what was I to do but obey. 😉

How about you guys . . . you enjoy transmogging as much as I do? 🙂

PvP Gear Transmogrification

Level 60 PvP Gear Replicas for Transmogrification

Class PvP Replica Gear for Sale in Area 52

Yesterday I’d mentioned not being able to use my old level 60 PvP gear for Transmogrification. Today I found out how I could, so I figured I’d share it with the rest of you for those curious as well.

In Area 52, inside the hut where the arena gear vendor used to be, there is a group of goblins that sell ‘replicas’ of the old school PvP gear.

A few random bits – related and unrelated to Patch 4.3

November 30, 2011 By Garwulf 6 Comments

HL Forum Wonkiness

I discovered that the forum went glitchy today at some point. I have no idea how it happened, but somehow the forum permalink got reset and suddenly it couldn’t locate any of its posts. I’m not sure how long this went on, but I fixed it within minutes of discovering the issue. If you had problems accessing the forum earlier, try it now.

Transmogrification

I am going to have some fun with this new Transmogrification thing, although I’ve only Transmogged one piece of gear so far – my ranged wep. I have a few select items that I’ve kept stashed in my bank for years…things I never use, I just can’t seem to part with them though. One such thing is my Merciless Gladiator’s Crossbow of the Phoenix. I cannot tell you how glad I am that I held onto it. 🙂

Those of you unfamiliar with the significance of this item may want to read this post from the archives. I must warn you, his story is a tear-jerker.

My transmogged crossbow does indeed look amazing, thanks to Ezra’s dazzling creativity, but being able to proudly display it…keeping his memory alive, is really what it’s all about. Gah… now I’m getting all misty just writing this.

Ezra was a member of the horde – a Tauren hunter (known as, Ephoenix) – but I’m hoping he’ll be accepting of this humble Night Elf’s respect and admiration. 😉 Peace be with you always, young Ezra.

As for the other items I wanted to use for Transmogrification… Blizz wouldn’t give me the go ahead on those. I tried to Transmogrify using my old school Rank 10 PvP set, but the guy said “no can do”. Apparently, that stuff cannot be used for Transmogrification, however… it’s my understanding that there will be a Darkmoon Faire vendor whom we’ll be able to buy replica pieces from. The catch being, he’ll only sell replicas of the pieces you actually earned back in the day. I’m hoping that’s the case, because it will make those sets very uncommon. Grinding to Rank 10 in the old honor system was probably the most taxing endeavor of my near-6-year WoW huntering tenure.

The gear itself is pretty lackluster compared to what we get now – and some might even say ‘silly looking’ – but I could care less. I earned that s**t, and I’ll be quite proud wearing it until I can obtain something else more worthy. Not to mention…the gear during that period of the game signifies a time when I probably enjoyed WoW the most. I still love the game, but I was ‘all in’ back then. In fact, I’m sure I liked the game way too much back in those days, as evidenced by my full set of PvP gear. 😉

My User Interface

I’ve been working tirelessly at putting together a Patch 4.3 update of my UI compilation. As of today, nothing’s broken but there are still a couple of little quirks I need to sort out. I’m a stickler for things looking as intend, and there are two addons that are not playing nicely right now. I hope to get them sorted out tomorrow, with enough follow-up time to get the download package prepared, run a couple of test installs, then have the UI update on WoWInterface sometime Friday. 😀

Minor Macro Failage

I noticed that my targetenemyplayer macro stopped working in PvE after this latest patch. I guess you could say it’s ‘working as intended’ now. It still works spot on in BGs, but those of you using that same one I posted a few months back in my PvP targeting article should switch to this for anything outside of BGs, world PvP and arena:

/targetenemy
/startattack
/petattack
/cast Hunter's Mark
/petassist

This of course is the handy-dandy, target nearest enemy, send pet on them, start attacking and toss up a Hunter’s Mark macro. This works alright for PvP as well, but /targetenemyplayer is a much better command to use as it ignores player pets.

Apart from this minor little macro hiccup, I haven’t noticed anything else goofy with my macros. I’ll have another day of play and testing, then I’ll put the Patch 4.3 approval on my macros collection.

Well those are just a few little announcements and musings I wanted to share… Now it’s time to get back to work on the UI!
