Companions of the Red Fist [Monk}

"Why do we fight? To protect Home, and Family... To preserve Balance, and bring Harmony."

The Companions spend their time in spiritual contemplation and diligent martial practice in the quiet places around Azeroth.  However, the Companions of the Red Fist pride themselves on their combat skills and are always ready to serve as skilled fighters at a moment’s notice.  As such, they are often utilized as guards for monasteries or employed as escorts for the transportation of documents, dignitaries, or barrels of beer.  Recently the Companions have found themselves needed around more parts of Azeroth in these times of troubles—often teaming up with adventurers to take on bigger problems.

This set is a simple transmogrification for the Monk class; but I have found that sometimes the simpler the better.  The Worldbender's Waistband and the Mask help add a little bit of color into this set--just enough to where the overall outfit isn’t seen as too dull.  Grab your friends and travel to Hellfire Citadel in the jungles of Tanaan to work on attaining a good portion of these armor looks if you don't already have them--and take time to enjoy the splendors of Winterspring, the land of perpetual winter, for some other items on this list (bring a scarf).

Mask of the Hurricane's Eye (Kormrok - Normal Hellfire Citadel)

Shy Shrug (Quest - Shy-Rotam in Winterspring)

Vest of the Smoking Pit (Quest- A Bird of Legend in Winterspring)

Sludge-Resistant Waders (Kormrok - Normal Hellfire Citadel)

Ironpelt Mitts (Tyrant Velhari - Normal Hellfire Citadel)

Worldbender's Waistband (Ra-den - Throne of Thunder 10N)

Griftah's Authentic Troll Shoes (Ravika - Darkspear Quartermaster)

Like with most Tauren transmogrifications; no bracers are needed.

Highmountain Tauren May Be Closer Than We Think!

"The Highmountain Tauren are an offshoot of Tauren found in the region of Highmountain on the Broken Isles. Divided into four tribes (Highmountain, Rivermane, Skyhorn and Bloodtotem), they are the direct descendants of the Tauren led by Huln Highmountain who assisted the Kaldorei Resistance during the War of the Ancients.  During the war, Huln received a blessing from Cenarius, so that his people would forever have the demigod's favor, granting them the Horns of Eche'ro: moose-like antlers." --Wowpedia

If you are like me, you are very excited that the Highmountain Tauren are to be a playable Horde race!  The addition of a different type of Tauren culture is a big thing for many of us.  Not only does it signal the growth of a game we love but also gives us a bit wider world in which to immerse ourselves in—different cultures or, sub-races as they were called back in the day, add a new and exciting dimension in the world of Azeroth.

While there has been a lot of speculation as to when we will be able to have our very own moose-antlered Tauren, we do know a couple of things listed below.  While you may already know about these its still a fun thing to go over to get your excitement level up.

Happy Feast of Winter's Veil

The Feast of Winter's Veil is upon us!  In addition to the gifts that Greatfather Winter will be giving us there is the Globe Yeti to get as well--found in the snowglobe in Orgrimmar during the Feast of Winter Veil in-game event. The Globe Yeti runs very quickly and can be tricky to engage into battle. The respawn timer is roughly 30 minutes and already there are plenty of campers so best of luck getting this cute pet!

Toys that most likely will be found under the Christmas Tree this year are the Hearthstation toy--a new and improved Hearthstone game, and the Toy Weapon Set--which should be a lot of fun!  Make sure to check under the tree after Christmas for your toys!

Have a happy and safe season of mirth this year...don't forget to don your festive hat!

Odyn's Chosen [ Warrior ]

"For Odyn!"

The Chosen of Odyn are few but don't let their small numbers fool you--they more than make up it on the battlefield.  Brutal, savage, and valor-bound; the Chosen are the sword of the mightiest of the Titan-forged and ready for battle anytime and anywhere.  Prepared against the day that Yogg-Saron's escapes his prison the Chosen a powerful army ready for battle at a moment's notice.

This set can be farmed exclusively in the current expansion (Legion) and is collected by running various dungeons.  The transmogrification is somewhat monochromatic but still looks good on a Tauren warrior especially with a weapon that stands out.  For those that have been playing Legion for a while you may already have this set.

Crown of Ash (Ash'golm - Vault of the Wardens)

Mortar Guard Shoulderplates (Tirathon Saltheril - Vault of the Wardens)

Breastplate of Preservation (Oakheart - Darkheart Thicket)

Rook Footman's Legplates (Lord Kur'talos Ravencrest - Black Rook Hold)

Rumblestone Gauntlets (Dargrul - Neltharion's Lair)

Magmacrusher's Girdle (Ash'golm - Vault of the Wardens)

Dignitary's Traveling Cloak (Relinquished Cloak - Thaumaturge Vashreen)

Like with most Tauren transmogrifications; no bracers are needed.

Riven Priestess [ Priest ]

"The Shadow calls...do you hear it?"

A blind eye is given to those who work with the Shadow; tolerated in Netherlight Temple and whispered about in the corners of well-lit halls.  The Shadow Priest, however, understands the need for balance while delving headfirst into the Shadow for in the Shadow there is power.

Ever since I first started getting the Riven cloth gear I was enthralled.  It looked nice, especially for a Shadow Priest, and I wanted to see if I could incorporate part of the set into a nice looking transmogrification.  There were a few things that needed to be changed, obviously, but the overall effect is something demonic and dark yet forged in the Light...an interesting blend.  As a note, the gloves have a lot of different lookalikes and can be found all over Draenor...the glove model is not unique.

As an important note: the helm only looks good on the female model.

Riven Priesthood Cap (Relinquished Hood - Thaumaturge Vashreen)

Riven Priesthood Amice (Relinquished Spaulders - Thaumaturge Vashreen)

Raiment of the Ternion Glory (Heroic Vendor in Shrine of Two Moons)

Anruin's Grips of Agony (World Drop - Draenor)

Wild Combatant's Cord of Cruelty (Warlords Season 2 PvP - 1 Mark of Honor)

Inherited Cape of the Black Baron (Heirloom)

Like with most Tauren transmogrifications; no bracers are needed.  Additionally, don't worry about the pants or shoes (though I recommend wearing them!).
