My Pet & Me

A couple of days ago I posted my first entry into this year's Transmog Competition hosted by the good folks over at OpenRaid. I am so glad that they hosted this competition, as it was a great excuse to start mogging again. Would you believe that they got over 400 entries!? I do not envy the judges one bit. They certainly have their work cut out for them.

So anywho, here is my second entry. This one is for the "My Pet & Me" category, which requires matching a transmog to your pet. I matched my mog to my green Core Hound pet, tamed in (the old) Shadowmoon Valley.

Most of the pieces for this set were put together using items I'd purchased off of the auction house. Actually, for anyone looking to recreate this look, everything but the bow can potentially be found on the AH.

Items used in this Transmog & Source:

 

Captain's Circlet - Most commonly drops off rares in the low level 40's

Wayfaring Shoulderguards - Leatherworking (Recipe: Wayfaring Shoulderguards)

Fel Iron Chain Tunic - Blacksmithing (320)

Unyielding Fists - Level 60 - 70 (Burning Crusade) World Drop

Soldier's Girdle - Most commonly drops off rares between level 10 - 20

Kilt of Trollish Dreams - Level 80 - 85 (Cataclysm) World Drop

Elven Chain Boots - Level 50ish World Drop

Bristleblitz Striker - Archimonde, Hyjal Summit

Here is the shot that I sent in for the competition. It was taken in Shadowmoon Valley by The Hand of Gul'dan, right where I originally tamed this lovely Core Hound. I love how the colors all blend together so well, and am very pleased with the piece I submitted.

I'll share a secret with you: I probably took over 100 screen shots in this location before I FINALLY landed on one I was pleased with.

Fired Up!

Nope, not dead. Just busy. Still mogging though! Here's my latest~

The good folks over at OpenRaid are holding their annual Transmog Competition right now. They've got some fun new categories/themes this year, including a "Fired Up" category which I jumped right into.

The theme requirements: "Your theme is from Firelands/Molten Core/etc and involves a fiery look and screenshot location."

My submission for the contest was built around my shaman's transmog that she's been using for the last few years. This mog was originally put together to match the Tabard of the Achiever. Her mog used so much red that I didn't have to change out too many pieces. Heck, I probably didn't need to switch out any at all, but this was a fun way for me to liven up my mog. Plus, I LOVE the conquest point shoulders. They also fit the theme perfectly, as they basically look like molten lava breaking out of the earth's crust.

Most of the pieces were fairy easy to get, coming out of low level raids or off the auction house. Unfortunately the pants and gloves are no longer obtainable though and there are no identical look-alikes in game. :( There are however, a lot of nice red gloves and pants to choose from that will match perfectly for anyone looking to create a similar set. Any of the Bloodlust pieces are the first that come to mind.

Items used in this Transmog & Source:

 

Stylin' Crimson Hat - Leatherworking (350)

Primal Gladiator's Ringmail Spaulders - PVP, Ashran/Stormshield Vendors 

Stormcaller's Hauberk - From AQ40 quest: Stormcaller's Hauberk

Gauntlets of Divinity - Originally from Scarlet Monastery (no longer obtainable)

Scarlet Belt - Originally from Scarlet Monastery (now extremely low drop from Big Crate of Salvage)

Scarlet Leggings - Originally from Scarlet Monastery (no longer obtainable)

Mercurial Greaves - Vanilla raid trash drop/high level 50's world drop

Syphon of the Nathrezim - Supremus, Black Temple

Drillborer Disk - Garr, Molten Core
