Replica Shado-Pan Helm

Has anyone hit exalted with the Shado-Pan yet? My helm is off to you! That is one grind I am still working on :P. I'm excited to buy their sweet mounts...and of course buy their Replica Shado-Pan Helm! I think it's a great idea to introduce items to the game purely for transmogging. Around the Proudmoore server I've seen a couple of people who have transmogged the helms and their sets look great!

Oh how beautiful Umarae looks! 

Fellow guildie Khelly shows that the helm can make 

the MoP blacksmithing set look perfect!

Who knew a simple mail set (Chief Brigadier) would look so nice 

with the Shado-Pan helm? Thanks Nyghtstorm for showing us how :). 

Have you seen any cool sets paired with the helm? Or do you have any ideas? :)

MoP, 3 months later...

I am really enjoying Pandaria so far! In fact, whenever I'd sit down to put up a post I would end up logging on WoW instead :P. A picture is said to be worth a 1000 words so I shall overload thee with screenshots of my favorite MoP moments...

...and I shall return with transmog posts this week, including different ways to mog your armor to match the Pandaria tabards!

Achievement Earned: Endured the Quest "Unleash Hell"

Here are the steps to complete this achievement. 

Step 1. Purchase Mists of Pandaria. Stay up late and be very excited!

Step 2. Accept quests in Stormwind that lead you to talk to Sky ADMIRAL Rogers. Not AIRMAN Rogers. Sit around and wait for said NPC to help finish your quest. Realize you and hundreds of other people are talking to the wrong NPC. 

Step 3. Finally reach the continent Pandaria. Reach there under interesting circumstances wherein the airship is missing.... As a result you fall to your death and have to hearth to Stormwind and start over.

Step 4. Accept the quest "Unleash Hell." Wait to board gyrocopter for 30 min. 

Do you notice the 2 identical toons down below?
Yeah, that's me. Lag was pretty bad...

Step 5. Make sure you have 1.5 hours to spare to complete this quest! Your gyrocopters are also very talented and like to do air acrobatics. See below screenshot for example: 

Congratulations! You have completed the achievement! ;)

Footnote: Yes, it was pretty bad to get to the continent and complete the first several quests. But after a couple of hours I was able to progress and get some normal questing in. I am halfway through 85 as of 6am PST. Good luck to all you fellow adventurers! 

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. 

Mogging faves of Proudmoore

With sooooo many players on the Proudmoore server I can easily sit back and just people watch (toon watch? eh, whatever). The mogging on this server is really great! Here are a few stellar mog outfits I've encountered. [disclaimer: the screenshots are not the best, it is hard to get a good one with a million people crowding around so I decided to go with "inspect" :P]

One of my favorite armor sets put to good use. 

I'm loving how the staff pairs nicely with the armor.

I adore this! These shoulders are on my wishlist.

I'd like to try this out on my own enhance shammy. 

This mog is totally awesome! He put it together very well.

One of the first mog outfits I encountered.
I love how the tabard is paired with the set.

Simple black cloth with a crazy awesome weapon. 

The entries are in!

I did it! I completed 10 transmog sets for the Mogolympics. The deadline was July 31. I have to admit, I might have procrastinated a tiny bit (editing screens/typing out armor pieces), but I made it. I'm so excited to see how everything goes! I'm also looking forward to seeing all the other entries. It is so fun to see what other people come up with in mogging :D

"How the crap do I balance on this thing?"
