Plate Transmog: Burnt Sapphire


This set was inspired by the helmet. I loved the rusted red color with the bright blue accents. I decided I needed to design a set around it. My paladin is currently using this set (Minus the shield and mace), but I'm modeling it on Frikky. It looks really nice on a bloodelf female as well, actually the nice thing about this set on a female is it exposes the midriff which looks really cool with how hardcore the rest of the set looks. Most of these items are pretty easy to obtain and some can be bought on the AH.

(same model as the other two specs plate shoulders)
Mace - Titansteel Guardian (Blacksmithing)

Transmog: Agent Orange

This is a mail set for my hunter. My favorite color has always been bright orange, and it's really a pity there's not more of it in the game when it comes to armor. The sad thing is that probably not many will enjoy the set because it's mostly newer content armor, and you are probably sick of fire colored things by now. It just so happened to be that THIS expansion was the one that dumped all the orange and red armor all over us, so much so that it's not even interesting anymore. Regardless, I still want my orange set, I really wish it could have been more orange. If anyone out there is willing to take a stab at a request for an orange set, I would be much obliged.



This item can go for a pretty penny on the AH. It drops from a rare demon spawn in shadowmoon valley called Collidus the Warp-Watcher, along with 3 other types/colors of the same item. One is mail, one is cloth, one is leather and one is plate. Find out more about this spawn and where it roams over at WoW Rare Spawns!
Chest - Flamewaker's Tunic (Justice)
Legs - Flamewaker's Legguards (Justice)
Feet - Hurricane Boots (Crafted: Leatherworking)
Hands - Unclean Surgical Gloves (Icecrown Citadel)
Wrist - Doesn't matter, you can't see them.
Belt - Belt of the Blood Nova (Icecrown Citadel)
Shoulders - Horrific Flesh Epaulets (Icecrown Citadel)
Back - Cromush's Cloak (Quest)
Polearm - Ranseur of Hatred (BOE, drop in Firelands)
Gun - Arcanite Steam Pistol (The Eye)

Here's a picture from the front, with the gun:


HUNTER BONUS ROUND!

Pets that work best with this set are fiery, orangey pets of course. Here's a list of my top picks for orange pets.

Orange Ravager - So bright! So orange! So cool looking!
Orange and Black Spider - Colors match perfectly, and if you're into pvp you can still look stylish!
Orange Fire Spider - This guy is a rare, and from what I hear a bit tricky to tame. Lovely glowing orange is great with the glowing orange on this set!
Red Core Hound - Can't go wrong with this classic.More glowing reds and oranges make a great match.
Two-Headed Red Vulture - If you're into birds, this guy matches nicely.
Red Runed Demon Dog - I love this pet. So cool looking and those glowing bits are so bright!
Brown Spiked Raptor - Awesome dinosaur action! Despite the name, this guy is orange and matches wonderfully!
Orange Striped Saber Cat - Tigers match pretty well, not my top choice but AWWW, it's a tiger!
Orange Deep Sea Crab - This guy looks nice, and if you're looking for a tenacity pet, he's perfect!
Ancient fire Turtle - This guy is a little more red than orange, but he's a great looking pet, and glowy!
Yellow Worm - I've never been into worms, but this guy is a yellowish orange that matches the set great!
Grey and Orange Felboar - This guy looks awesome, and has BRIGHT neon orange spikes!
Orange Shale Spider - I really love shale spiders, they are like elementals we can tame. I really love this orange guy.

Steampunk's Not Dead: Steampunk Clothie

Steampunk? Cloth? How will that ever work! you say. Well I have the solution for you! Kinda. Okay look so I just woke up and my language skills are still in the gutter. bdbfkjdfkjf. OKAY anyway, I've made a version of the steampunk look for cloth wearers. :) Again I used an addon called Mogit to put this together.


I really enjoyed this one. I think the eyepatch/spectacle really makes it pop. It was also interesting sifting through so much cloth. Much of it is bright and flashy colors. I managed to find some old tattered grunginess in there though and carefully matched them up. What you're going to need for this set is:

Head- Powerheal 4000 Lens (engineering)
Feet- Iceflow Footwraps (quest)
Back- Durable Cape (not shown, sorry bout that...it's brown.)

Now you're lookin sexy! :D

Transmog: The Steam Punk Hunter

Ever since I heard about undead being able to become hunters, I KNEW deep in my heart that I wanted him to be steam punk. Even before the transmog feature was around, I told myself I would somehow make him as steam punk as possible! Now with such a new feature, it's easier than ever. 

I used an addon called Mogit to put together my perfect ensemble. 


and here are the items needed for this look :)

Head- Truesight Ice Blinders  (engineering only)
Pants- Mighty Chain Pants (sold from an npc)
Wrist- This doesn't matter, you wont be able to see it anyway
Polearm- Grizzly Glaive 
Gun- Use whatever you think looks good as a gun, I suggest something bronze and of course steam punk looking, you just GOTTA have a gun though. Steam punk & a bow? HA, Sissy pants bullshit, you need to shoot people in the FACE because you're fucking awesome.

The gun I think would go most wonderfully with this set would be Giant's Bane
It's perfect, the blue lights tie in with the goggles, it's bronze and metal, the thing has STEAM coming out of it for god's sake. However this gun can only be obtained in ulduar 25 so you're going to need some friends to help you farm it. Until then many other guns are also bronze and work just as well.

BEWARE!
While making this set I ran into some problems. I'm still farming it myself and when I had first made it, it looked like this: 


Note the different shoulders, and alternate goggles. I really really liked those goggles. Unfortunately the recipie for these goggles can ONLY be learned by shamans. It also binds to you when made, so they are untradable. If you ARE a shaman engineer and would like to use these goggles instead, they are called Lightning Etched Specs. Be wary of the goggles you can make as an engineer. You can only learn goggle schematics that you can use for your class from the trainer. And I found that out when I saw I hadn't learned the bronze shaman goggles, but the purple hunter goggles instead. Fortunately for me, I had bronze goggles waiting for my class at the higher level, however the lenses weren't yellow, they were blue. Good enough!

The shoulders here are pvp shoulders called Defiller's Chain Pauldrons. I only switched those because I thought the other shoulders looked a bit nicer. If you like these better they are easy to get!

Good thing is, most of these items are greens, some are even sold from NPCs, but sadly there are a few in here that have a very low drop rate. 

p.s. Mohawks help.


Hunter Bonus Round!

As a hunter, you can't be completely stylish unless you also have a stylish pet.
I've looked over a few of the pets available and have chosen my favorite matching pets to go with this set. (though I'm a bit pissed there's really no mechanical pets which would be PERFECT, AUGH.)

My personal favorite is the Beige Moth. Steam punk has that old world charm with the hardcore factor mingling in. Moths also remind me of this. They are charming, like butterflies, but the live in the night, also I can't help but think of Buffalo Bill from silence of the lambs, so plus 1 to the moth for matching perfectly and having that charming but fucked up factor.

Second runner up would be the Red Bone Spider this spider matches wonderfully with this set, the light cream color speckled in bronzy brown just works, along with the glowing blue eyes to match your spectacles. Bonus points for being undead as you'll also have that underlying creepiness factor.

Third is the Yellow Hyena When I think of Steam Punk, I think of some futuristic gang taking over some half forgotten city, like the pirates or cowboys of the future. Then I think of the crazy pets they'd have. Dogs are to tame, no, they need something way more bad-ass. How about a vicious hyena? YES. There are gangs around the world who use them currently, and man is it intimidating. If only they had a chain muzzle or something. Needless to say, the hyena would be a sweet pet for a futuristic pirate.

Fourth is the Copper Wasp the copper color matches wonderfully, it almost makes it look mechanical. The wings match wonderfully as well if you have the same goggles with the blue lenses. 

Coming in fifth is the Brown Rhino I just think this burly ass giant would look so cool standing behind you. Like some sort of tamed weapon to destroy all your enemies. I think this animal goes pretty well.

That's all for now folks!
