Transmog with the August Celestials Tabard

One of the grindiest factions in Pandaria also has one of the best tabards: the August Celestials. A recent xmog I did with the tabard is one of my favorites:

Shoulders: Pauldrons of Surging Mana; Chest: Icy Scale Chestguard; Hands: Heroes' Earthshatter Handguards [Shaman only]; Waist: Necrogenic Belt; Legs: Black Dragonskin Breeches; Feet: Tsunami Boots; Duel-wielded Mace: Black Icicle. 

Cloth

For clothies, I know tabards can be hard to pair with robes,

but I found a match that looks pretty good (if I do say so myself). 

Shoulders: Lunar Mantle; Chest: Frozen Shadoweave Robe; Hands: Hands of the Light [I didn't realize until too late that these were Priest-only gloves from challenge-mode dungeons]; 

Waist: Sash of the Parlor; Weapon: Greatstaff of the Nexus.

Leather

This leather set might work best with Monk/Druid classes. For Rogues, the Tier 9 (Alliance-only) and Replica Rogue Dungeon 2 set look really good with the tabard. 

Shoulders: Hide of Chromaggus; Chest: Tunic of the Dark Hour; Hands: Replica Darkmantle Gloves; Waist: Eva's Strap; Legs: Trickster's Leggings; Boots: Charged Footwear; Weapon: Ghost Iron Staff.

Mail

This xmog set was something I was going to do if I still had an axe and a fist weapon :P. For Shamans, the Tier 7 10-man set looks really good with the tabard. 

Shoulders: Horrific Flesh Epaulets; Chest: Shroud of Rime; Hands: Mitts of Burning Hail; 

Waist: Naturalist's Preserving Cinch; Legs: Black Dragonskin Breeches; 

Feet: Dark Iron Chain Boots; Axe: The Decapitator; Fist Weapon: Fist of Fate. 

Plate

Oh man, Plate-wearers. They have several different options! Warriors, you can try the Tier 9 (Alliance-only) set. Death Knights can match with the Tier 11 Normal or Tier 13 Normal set. And, Paladins would look good with the Tier 11 Normal set. 

Shoulders: Pauldrons of Edward the Odd; Chest: Ornate Mithril Breastplate; Hands: Cobalt Gauntlets; Waist: Klaxxi Lash of the Doubter; Legs: Legguards of the Unseeing; Feet: Rock Furrow Boots; Weapon: Wrathful Gladiator's Slicer; Shield: Lost Pavise of the Blue Flight. 

Transmog with the Lorewalkers tabard, Part 1

I chose to start with the Lorewalkers faction first since they're the easiest to get to exalted. In a few short hours you can go from neutral to exalted and get your sweet tabard! Then you're on your way to matching it with your awesome transmog ;).

Cloth: 

Cloth wearers are very lucky as they have SO MANY robes available to transmog! My mail-wearing shaman is pretty jealous sometimes :P. I think the details of this robe and the staff fit great with the tabard. 

Helm: Circle of Flame; Shoulders: Mantle of the Elven Kings; Chest: Bloodfyre Robes of Annihilation; Hands: Sunfire Handwraps; Waist: Mage-Fury Girdle; Feet: Fire Striders; Staff: Funeral Pyre. 

 This is a little more simple than the previous cloth set. I like how the colors are all similar: Black, red/orange, and gold/cream.

 Shoulders: Nightsky Mantle; Chest: Cindercloth Robe; Hands: Heavy Linen Gloves; Waist: Gossamer Belt; Feet: Fire Striders; Staff: Bloodfire Greatstaff.

Leather:

Okay, so, I had a difficult time getting an attractive leather set together! I'm pretty picky about making items match perfectly, right down to the same shade. I eventually came up with this nice set that could work for monks and druids (sorry rogues :P). If anyone can put together another leather set just let me know :).

Shoulders: Netherrealm Shoulderpads; Chest: Robes of Summer Flame; Hands: McCree's Sparring Gloves; Waist: Blackwhelp Belt; Staff: Staff of Trembling Will. 

Next time I will show the Lorewalker tabard transmogged with mail and plate sets (I'm super excited with what I came up with :P).

Mogolympics: Javelin, Fencing, Freestyle, Equestrian

I'm finally getting this out there, but here is the last of the entries!

Javelin, a look based around the pole-arm Ranseur of Hatred.

Look found here

One of my personal favorites was the Fencing. I plan to create a transmog look very similar for my warrior. I love how the white and gold of the weapon match up perfectly to the armor. P.S. This time around I will choose different boots to wear. Looking back, these boots do not match up as seamlessly as I'd like. :P

Fencing look book (haha)

Now on to the Freestyle! The idea behind this entry is to build your own NPC. I went with a troll voodoo priest. I've always been a big troll fan and I love their story around voodoo and such. Also, I love the fact that her dagger has a matching off-hand! It's very fitting and I was tickled pink when I found that.

Dis troll is lookin' da voodoo.

 Lastly, the Equestrian event! Wow, there were SO MANY awesome entries! When putting my entry together I chose to match up with the Human Paladin Charger. If I ever leveled up a Paladin I think I would create a transmog based around the shield and epic sword.

All in all, the Transmogolympics were a success! It was so fun to participate in them and even more fun to see the results! Congrats to all the medal winners and kudos to everyone who participated  :D

Mogolympics: Hammer throw, Discus, Wrestling, Archery

Bah, how did I get behind on Mogolympics? A combination of RL work and sickness has put me under the weather for the past week. 

First up, Hammer Throw! I tend to favor clean, light armor looks if I use an in-your-face weapon. The plate set I used, Mithril Plate, is based around this awesome 2H Mace, Demise. 

Hammer Throw transmog set seen here

The Discus Event began week number two. This is one of my favorite sets I put together! And by reading the commentary provided by one of the judges I received a pretty good score! I think I tied for the bronze or something very close (a 5-way tie, probably). They just gave out a gold and three silvers. So far, this even is my favorite. There were a LOT of awesome transmogs that looked brilliant.

Transmog items used

Next we have Wrestling! I didn't want to do a normal-looking WWE wrestler. That created the idea of doing a Luchidor! (Nacho Libre may or may not have influenced that thought :P). 

Luchidor!

The most recent event was Archery! I loved looking at all the different sets! It made me want to play on my hunter and get her looking snazzy. I really liked the transmog set I came up with, even though it might be labeled as a "cookie-cutter" look. I would still use it on my hunter.

Mogolympics: Cycling Event

The first event of the Mogolympics has been posted: Cycling! Here was the criteria for this event:
"Build a biker outfit to compliment the Chopper.  It must be either Leather or Mail."

I wanted my biker outfit to be black and red to match the Horde's Chopper. I also used leather.

Overall, I was really pleased with the look. My only critique was the black: are there ANY plain-black pieces in game? To go with the boots? I wanted to use the boots badly but I had a hard time finding anything to match. There were about 50 different shades of black (hehe). I was really determined to include the boots ;)

And for those wondering what the pieces are, I have everything set up on this Transmogger link!

My story and Seeking for leather

I started playing WoW 4 years ago this month and my first toon I rolled was a human rogue. She was basically my main up until Cata launched; that's when I rerolled a shaman on Proudmoore, Satsuri. At that point I was in LOVE with the playstyle of shamans and Satsuri became my main at that point. My army of alts slowly transferred over to Proudmoore, my rogue included. I felt a little guilty with switching mains, almost as if I was betraying my faithful rogue. My rogue has tons of achievements/mounts/other accomplishments, too, which made it a little harder to switch mains. 

I'm in the middle of a D & D campain right now, playing a rogue scoundrel. Playing a rogue in D & D put the bug in my head to dust off my rogue and maybe do some achievements. And holy cow, I forgot how fun it was to be a rogue on WoW! I missed the simple playstyle, not to mention it's just cool to play a rogue sometimes! She also looks cool; of course, I have her all mogged up. :P

I decided to start working on the Loremaster and Seeker achievements. It's something I attempted on my rogue about 2 years ago before Cata came out. A combination of real life stuff (moving across state) and a fear of world pvp (haha, I hate pvp servers) soon stopped my attempts at these achievements. 

I just accomplished The Seeker achievement this evening (3000 quests)! Woot! I also finished up all the Outland quest achievements. I have to admit, account-wide achievements were a HUGE motivation to get this done! And since the quest achievements are account-wide as well I can get Loremaster done easily. Satsuri has taken care of the Loremaster of Cataclysm. My rogue is taking care of Loremaster of Outland and Northrend since she is already almost done. My warlock leveled up through questing after Cata dropped so she has several zones done for Loremaster of Kalimdor and EK. She will be finishing those up. I'm hoping Blizzard won't change this perk; it would mess up my whole plan! 0.o

Well, that ended up being a lot longer than I intended. Now, on to the mogs...

My rogue had her set of Tier 9 (she's a Wrath baby), which I love and looks very rogue-like. 

Between all the quest rewards and mob drops I put together a new set for her! I love this black and blue set. I just love everything about it. It's perfect for a rogue!

Edit: Dont' forget to check out the Mogolympics here! It started today! I'm looking forward to the coming weeks to see what everyone put together for mogs. Oh, and my flagbearer was the Consortium.
