Random Mogness - Hunter Mogs

Between coming up with ideas for Mogolympics and pretty crappy RNG, I've been collecting quite a few outfits in my Mogit lists.  Since I can't reveal my Mogolympics looks, and none of Drainee's outfits are coming together, I though I'd just share some Mogit shots.

When I first made Drainee, long before transmog, I went with a white-on-white look.  She even traveled all the way to Dun Morogh at a very low level to tame a white pet, a Young Snow Leopard.  I was trying to put together this white look for her for a few weeks.  The pants drop off the Princess in Maraudon, and after a week or so of killing her without luck, I gave up.  I saw the BOE version of the pants on the AH once, but 1500g seemed like too much at the time, lol.

Shoulders - Sentry's Shoulderguards Chest - Drake-Scale Vest Gloves - Impenetrable Gauntlets Belt - Bonelink Belt Legs - Elemental Rockridge Leggings    or Impenetrable Legguards Boots - Sentry's Slippers

This second outfit is based around one of my favorite bows in the game, the Vengeful Gladiator's Longbow.  I've got most of the pieces except the boots.  They drop from Kraator, a rare spawn in Shadowmoon Valley.  I've been camping him for almost as long as the Princess :/  I literally sit on my drake for hours, while tabbed out doing other stuff, in one of his spawn spots.  Then, I fly around a little looking for him, and check the AH for the boots.  I really admire Cymre and Euphyley for the time they spend on rare spawns.  I did see him once, but he dropped the cloth version of the boots... of course.

Shoulders - Heavy Scorpid Shoulders Chest - Renegade Chestguard Gloves - Nethersteel Gauntlets Belt - Silver Defias Belt Legs - Bloodbinder's Links Boots - Abyssal Mail Greaves

I've had this green and gold outfit in my Mogit list for a while now. I put it together based on the polearm after it dropped in a Black Temple Run.

Head - Knight's Headguard

Shoulders - Exotic Spiked Shoulders

Chest - Captain's Breastplate

Gloves - Green Iron Gauntlets

Belt - Ornate Girdle

Legs - Captain's Leggings

Boots - Captain's Boots

Polearm - Halberd of Desolation

This last outfit I put together recently.  It was originally for the Mogolympics Archery entry, but it looked too good on Drainee.  I'd already used a Draenei Female for another entry, and any other race just didn't look as fly!

Shoulders - Flickering Shoulders Chest - Engraved Breastplate Gloves - Engraved Gauntlets Belt - Radiant Belt Legs - Radiant Leggings Boots - Masterwork Boots Bow - Heartstriker

Fly Draenei Friday

This week, FDF is featuring fly gals from the WoW Factor Show on Lothar (US).  As always, it was a great show, with a great turnout.  I'm glad I got to check it out.  You can see more pics in Draynee's Facebook album, and WoW Factor's album.

Clemmys, in Robes of Insight, with a  coordinating Emerald Whelping.	Khriya's Arcane Robe looks great  with the Absolution Hood.
Rin, in a really unique Northrend look.	Syiduck, put these gold and red  mail pieces together beautifully.
Kookingmama mogged High Inquisitor Whitemane from Scarlet Monestary	Proverbs looks striking in Ornate Mail.

WoW Model Viewer Tips - How to Scale Shoulders

I love using Mogit, and it is my main resource for showing of mog sets.  Sometimes, though, you want to show of a mog on a different character than you might have.  Or, you want to mog six dwarves and a gnome to go with your Snow White! :)  This is where WoW Model Viewer comes in.  When I first started this blog, I messed around with the program some, but I was frustrated by the giant shoulders, and couldn't figure out how to scale them down.  Once I found that button, the color of the shoulders kept changing, and that baffled me.  I wasn't able to find a lot of help online either.  So, I gave up on model viewer for the time being.  Months later I was putting together a post that I really wanted to use white backgrounds on, like Kamalia does on her blog.  After some encouraging words from her, I decided to give model viewer another shot.  With the Mogolympics in full swing, I've put together this tutorial in hopes I can help someone else create awesome mog shots with normal-sized shoulders.

WoW Model Viewer can be downloaded from wowmodelviewer.org.  It is good to know that model viewer loads items and models from WoW's program files, so you can't run this program and the game at the same time.

	Once you get the program installed, the first step is to get a character on your screen.  You can start with your own character by importing it from the armory.  From the Character menu, select 'Import Armory Character' and enter the link from battle.net for your character. Your character will with all her gear, not transmogged, and with the face and hair you've chosen in game.

Fly Draenei Friday

Another edition of Fly Draenei Friday, featuring mog-spots from around Proudmore.  This week, a couple of levelers, looking fly on the way to 85.  I've mogged my share of heirloom gear, but these gals seem to mogging regular leveling gear.  Talk about dedication!

Zepheira, looking lovely in Robes of the Battlegaurd	Yara is super fly for only level 27!
Lzzi, another mogging lowbie.	Xiilah, sitting pretty in a gold cloth set.
Clariðn, whose red and orange set is very visually striking.	Limei, busy crafting something up in Scarlet Sin'dorei Robes.

My Mage Mog: A Shoulder for All Specs

Wow, it's been forever since I posted an outfit I'm actually wearing in game!  I feel like I've been trying to make these mage outfits work for just as long.  I get frustrated by the selection of cloth belts, and then just don't post about them.  I've decided to just make the post, and then I can move on with my Mage's life! Lol.  For a long time, Drayney was mogged into the Brutal Gladiator's Regalia.  It was a quick and easy mog that I used in place of what I wished she was wearing: The Field Marshal's Regalia.  That is such an awesome set, and I was pretty heartbroken the first day of transmog to find out I couldn't use any of the pieces.  I truly hope they lift that restriction on day, because I have honestly never seen anyone, not even a level 60, in any of that pinky-purpley goodness.

Anyhow, enough of that sad story!  Here's a spirit lifter: When I was farming for the staff for the 'arcane' version of this look, I finally got the Swift White Hawkstrider from Magister's Terrace!  It's the first rare mount in my collection, and I'm glad I went all the way to Kael' everytime, even though the staff dropped off the second boss.

So, the idea I had going on here was using the same shoulder model in an outfit for all three mage specs.  I used the Arcanist Mantle, from the Mage Tier 1 set, and the red and blue recolors.  I'll start with the 'Arcane Mage' version, using the original Arcanist Mantle.  I was a runner up in the last Proudmore WoW Factor show in this look.  It's my favorite of the three, although I switched to the 'Fire Mage' set for the Midsummer Fire Festival.

Arcane Mage: Shoulders - Arcanist Mantle Chest - Alanna's Embrace Hands - Jumanza Grips Waist - Ruthless Gladiator's Cord of Accuracy Staff - Warpstaff of Arcanum

Fire Mage: Head - Cowl of the Grand Engineer Shoulders - Mindrage Pauldrons Chest - Simple Robe Hands - Red Mageweave Gloves Waist - Voidweave Cilice Staff - Rod of the Blazing Light

I would prefer not to have a belt with this version. The dress already has the empire waist, so it's like she's wearing two belts! Perhaps Blizzard will take cue from the Acherus Knight's Girdle, and make invisible belts for all armor classes! I'm going to cross my fingers for that, because the version below could use it too.

Frost Mage: Head - Augural Shroud Shoulders - Frozen Shadoweave Shoulders Chest - Robes of the Exalted Wrists - Wristguards of Subterranean Moss Hands - Safegaurd Gloves Waist - Replica Virtuous Belt Staff (not shown) - Staff of Divine Infusion

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

Sleepy, Sneezy, Happy, Doc, Snow White, Bashful, Dopey, and Grumpy

I had so much fun with mogging Little Red Riding Hood, I've been trying to decide on another character to mog ever since.   I came up with this Snow White a while ago, but it didn't really excite me until I realized I could mog the seven dwarves!  Well, six dwarves and one gnome, turns out WoW dwarves don't come without beards.  I had lots of fun with WoW Model Viewer making all the guys and playing with poses.  It might be my new favorite mog program.

This outfit is a little cheating, as the top is a tabard and shirt combo.  The second outfit is an ok version, but I wasn't really thrilled with it.

Head - Runecloth Headband Shoulders - Merciless Gladiator's Silk Amice Cloak - Ravager's Cloak Chest - Robes of the Battleguard Shirt - Stormwind Doublet Tabard - Private's Tabard Hands - Sage's Gloves Wrist- Sage's Bracers Waist - Cincture of Woven Reeds Legs - Cindercloth Pants

Mogolympics!

Amateur Azerothian is hosting another great transmog contest called the Mogolympics.  They recently had an event called Mog Madness, a mog-based take on March Madness.  I missed entering that one by a couple of days, but I decided to throw my name in for the Mogolympics.  I was hesitant to enter at first, as one of their main rules is that for the 9 competition outfits, you have to use at least 5 races, and only one of each race/gender combo.  Oh, my poor, Draenei-loving heart!  How was I even going to take pictures of anything but Draenei (or blood elves, I might have some of those too)? Thanks to some tips from Kamalia on using the WoW Model Viewer, I figured I might as well give it a shot.  I've actually been having a lot of fun using the model viewer now that I got it figured out, so thanks again Kam!

The 9 competition outfits are based around Olympic events, but with an Azeroth twist:

• Archery – Build an outfit around your favourite bow.
• Cycling – Build a biker outfit to compliment the Chopper.  It must be either Leather or Mail.
• Discus – Build an outfit around one of the shield skins seen here
• Equestrian – Build an outfit to compliment one of the horse mounts in the game.  (Faction limitations apply, so no Orcs on a Stormwind pony)
• Fencing – Time for some swordplay.  Build your best outfit around the 1h sword of your choice.
• Javelin – Build an outfit around the polearm of your choice.
• Hammer Throw – Build an outfit around your favourite two-handed hammer.
• Wrestling – We’re going to deviate from olympic wrestling and go to the sports entertainment aspect instead.  Using one of the “championship” belts, design your own Azerothian pro wrestler.  Think of the oversized belts, such as the Firemend Cinch seen here.
• Freestyle – Build your own NPC. Could be an innkeeper, could be the Green Orc Lantern.  Doesn’t matter.

Each entrant is also assigned a faction to represent.  We use this faction's tabard for a 10th outfit, the "flagbearer".  I was given Lower City to rep, and since this outfit doesn't award a medal, I can share it with you now!

Head - Bloodspore Hood
Shoulders - Conjurer's Mantle
Chest (hidden) - Green Woolen Vest
Lower City Tabard
Wrists - Conjurer's Bracers
Hands - Hands of the Chosen
Belt - Dirtwood Belt
Legs - Hooligan's Pantaloons
Feet - Lightheart Sandals (these don't actually show up as anything on Draenei, hooray for hooves!)
The banner is an item in the model viewer,
but it is white, so I photoshopped the emblem in.  Thanks to Cymre at Bubbles of Mischief
for the idea!

Fly Draenei Friday

Another edition of Fly Draenei Friday, featuring mog-spots from around Proudmore.

Xessia has been spotted before in  another outfit. This time she coordinates  great with Herod's Shoulder.	Delacour, in the first use of a city tabard I've seen.
Spacevixen, you know I love a coordinated Guild Tabard!	Ariå, nice use of the Astralaan Robe with the head and shoulders from this set.
Sêrênity, in a great purple-accent set.	Dêvoutlight, in Masquerade Gown with the Virtuous Mantle.

Hurray for fly guys!  I spotted Ravakavius and Shadowtail in a

Frost Lord Ahune run. Oddly enough, they are both from Proudmore.

Previously: 06/29, Pt. 1, Pt. 2

Happy Independence Day!

Click here for the July 4th set in wowhead

Happy Independence Day fellow US players!  Drainee is all set for the fireworks in Stormwind tonight.  She's even started lighting sparklers!  Any excuse to pull out the Starfaller, one of my favorite items in the game.

Transmog the Transmogrifier

When looking for transmog inspiration, NPC's are a natural choice.  There are some great ones out there including Stormwind Guard, Orgrimmar Grunt, and Dark Ranger.  But, what about the guys that make the moggin' possible?  Behold, the ethereals!

These guys have a really cool look going on.  Probably because they are made of purple light wrapped in bandages, but their clothes are neat too. So, here's a few looks that capture the 'feel' of the transmogrifier, reforger and void storage guy.

First up, the transmogrifier guy! I tried to hit on his dark grey and purple color scheme and detailed skirt, along with flared out gloves, and of course, a hood! I normally don't do helms in my outfits, but the cool hoods are what got me thinking about these mogs.

Warpweaver Hashom - Transmogrifier

"Mogger" mog, with a few priest-only pieces: Head - Cowl of Absolution (priest only) Shoulders - Soulstealer Mantle Chest - Robes of Arugal Hands - Savage Gladiator's Mooncloth Gloves (priest only) Waist - Clutch of Andros Mace - Cudgel of Consecration Off-hand - Temple Crystal Fragment

"Mogger" mog, sleeveless and all-classes version: Head - Titan-Forged Hood of Dominance Shoulders - Soulstealer Mantle Chest - Necropile Robe Hands - Bloodmage Gloves Waist - Clutch of Andros Mace - Cudgel of Consecration Off-hand - Temple Crystal Fragment

Next, the reforger. He was a little more difficult as his coloring is a really light grey that doesn't seem to appear much in existing gear.
