Feral Hunter [ Hunter ]

"Some hunters like to spend time in the wild...that's cute.  I am the wild."


While some prefer to live in luxury and contentment in the major cities of the Horde; others prefer to live in the wilds and hard-to-reach places of the world.  To survive in the wilds of Azeroth is to test their skills and abilities and to conquer nature while becoming part of it at the same time.

This hunter transmogrification puts together several looks to emulate what a hunter might look like in the lands of Azeroth.  Rustic, barbaric, and quite feral, this set imagines what a hunter who doesn't get to town often might look like after several years of living in the dangerous wilderness.  It mixes several items, most notably the Warsong collection found in your Garrison in Warlords with other items from different expansions.

Rylakstalker's Headguard (Kromog - Mythic Blackrock Foundry)
Netherbranded Shoulderpads (Gul'dan - Raid Finder The Nighthold)
Warsong Wraps (Level 2 Warmill in the Garrison)
Bracers of the Pristine Purifier (Mythic Siege of Ogrimmar)
Warsong Leggings (Level 2 Warmill in the Garrison)
Gazlowe's Grips (Quest WANTED: Cap'n Garvey in Northern Barrens)
Belt of the Blood Nova (Deathbringer's Cache - Heroic Icecrown Citadel)
Warsong Boots (Level 2 Warmill in the Garrison)
Dreamwalker's Cloak (Val'sharah World Quests Reward)

Ursoc's Revenge [ Druid ]

"The Bear God shall be avenged."

The loss of Ursoc from Azeroth was a blow that many druids felt.  When he was corrupted in the Emerald Dream many druids pledged to bring down the Great Corrupter himself, Xavius, and showed no mercy for him or his followers.  Still, the loss of the Bear God has tormented many of his most adamant of followers, many of which have gone feral in grief.

Minimal and savage; this transmogrification for a Guardian Druid shows strength, power, and honors the spirit of Ursoc.  No shirt is used in this transmogrification which helps emphasize raw feral power.  The Claws of Ursoc fit perfectly into this outfit; easily matching the glow in the shoulders and the boots for, you know, when you aren't in Bear form.  The eyepatch helps lend to a dangerous feeling to the entire outfit although going without headgear looks good as well.

Winterfin Patch of Honor (30 Winterfin Clams - Borean Tundra)
Titan-Forged Spaulders of Triumph (Wintergrasp Quartermaster)
The Butcher's Apron (Hannval the Butcher - Stormheim)
Sludge Resistant Waders (Kormrok - Hellfire Citadel in Warlords)
Cragsman Gloves (Shadowmoon Valley Treasure Drop)
Belt of Misconceived Loyalty (Heroic Shadow-Lord Iskar)
Wrathful Gladiator's Boots of Triumph (Toravon the Ice Watcher - Vault of Archavon)
Tribal Unification Cloak (Legion Drop or Highmountain World Quest Reward)

No bracers and no shirt are needed for this transmog

Celestial Guardian [ Monk ]

"White Tiger watch over us"

Monks are well known for their mystic and deadly abilities on the battleground.  Many years of training with the Great Masters have honed body and mind into a perfect warrior.  While some monks go out into the world others remain home to continue the duties around the temples; protecting pilgrims from those who would ravage the realm.

This transmogrification comes from mostly quest reward in Nagrand (Warlords of Draenor) and leatherworking.  The set emulates somebody that you might find guarding the temples of one of the Celestials.  If you are not a leatherworker you may want to talk with a guild member who is for this set as some prices on the Auction House are astronomical.

Headcover of the Impatient (Quest Reward in Shado-Pan Monastery)
Beastrider Spaulders (Quest Reward in Nagrand)
Dark Iceborne Chestguard (Leatherworking)
Dark Iceborne Leggings (Leatherworking)
Beastrider Gauntlets (Quest Reward in Nagrand)
Warhide Belt (Leatherworking)
Beastrider Boots (Quest Reward in Nagrand)
Wolfsfur Greatcloak (Quest Reward in Frostfire Ridge)

Wolf of War [ Shaman ]

"The wolves answer my call for they are my brothers on the battlefield"

Shamans are noted for thier ferocity as well as their attunement with the natural, often times volitile, elements of which they serve.  Many shamanistic groups also revere animals as the epitome of being one with nature.  This feral looking shaman is no different as we take a break from the elemental look and go for a more animal look for the class.

The majority of this tranmogrification is the Dark Shaman gear found in Seige of Ogrimmar--which incidentally enough can be completed by youself or a buddy.  However, with the original collection the shoulders didn't look good...on anybody.  The shoulders have been changed to something more primal and brutal and should be something that you already have in your Transmogrification tab.

Kor'kron Dark Shaman Cowl (Dark Shamans - Seige of Ogrimmar)
Wildwood Wrangler Monnion (Quest Reward in Gorgrond)
Kor'kron Dark Shaman Vestment (Dark Shamans - Seige of Ogrimmar)
Kor'kron Dark Shaman Gloves (Dark Shamans - Seige of Ogrimmar)
Belt of the Blood Nova (Zone Drop - Heroic Icecrown Citadel)
Kor'kron Dark Shaman Kilt (Dark Shamans - Seige of Ogrimmar)

No bracers or footwear are needed for this transmog

Frost Lord [ Death Knight ]

"The cold chill of the grave is my power--and death and suffering shall follow in my wake."

The Frost Death Knight is, perhaps, one of the most iconic of all of the Death Knights.  It is important to not only be strong and courageous while defeating your enemies but also looking the part helps instill fear into the enemy.  Frosty blue, black, and a touch of gold highlights helps this outfit to stand out among the crowd of every other Death Knight in the dread Necropolis of Acherus.

This transmogrification looks good with the second tier Artifact appearance, although any weapon equipped with a frosty appearance is good.  The hardest part of this outfit will be the belt as it drops from Elisande in The Nighthold.  However, the other pieces of gear should be easy to get including the PvP gear which only needs Marks of Honor.

Plated Skullguard (Quest Reward from Storm Peaks)
Midnight Herald's Pauldrons (Xavius - The Emerald Nighmare)
Wild Combatant's Dreadplate Chestpiece (Warlord's Season 2 PvP - 3 Marks of Honor)
Ethereal Crystal-Plated Gauntlets (Apexis Glove Trader - 20k Gold)
Waistplate of Fractured Realities (Elisande - The Nighthold)
Wild Combatant's Legplates (Warlord's Season 2 PvP - 3 Marks of Honor)
Wild Combatant's Warboots of Prowess (Warlord's Season 2 PvP - 2 Marks of Honor)
Warmongering Gladiator's Drape of Contemplation (Warlord's PvP - 1 Mark of Honor)

Demon Stalker [ Hunter ]

"Demons are more fun to hunt than the animals of Azeroth--Death to the Demons and victory to the Horde!"

Hunters understand the need for cunning and speed when hunting the numerous dangerous animals of the wilds of Azeroth.  With the return of demonic forces into the world many hunters have taken up stalking these fel soldiers of the Mad Titan with brutal cunning and some extra help from the animals that hunters once stalked.

Considering that Demons are the main focus of World of Warcraft: Legion, how better to celebrate hunting down the demonic forces of Kil'jaeden than with a transmog that exemplifies our tasks in the Broken Isles--and in fel green nonetheless.  Interestingly enough, most of the items can be easily obtained in Burning Crusade with only a few items needed in other expansions.

Manaburst Helm (Azsuna World Quest Reward)
Demon Stalker Shoulderguards (High King Maulgar - Gruul's Lair)
Demon Stalker Harness (Magtheridon - Magtheridon's Lair)
Demon Stalker Gauntlets (The Curator - Karazhan)
Short Jibbet Waistguard (Boss Drop in Return to Karazhan)
Demon Stalker Greaves (Gruul the Dragonkiller - Gruul's Lair)
Steelmaw's Stompers (Drop in Spires of Arak)
Grizzled Wolfskin Cloak (Drop from Grizzlemaw in Nagrand)

No bracers are needed for this transmog

4.  Congratulations!  You have a Corgi now.

Acolyte of An'she [ Priest ]

"An'she smiles upon us all."

To be a priest in the world of Azeroth means that you command great power over life and death.  The Tauren, respecting the balance of these two powers, are able to use the Light to power life and death abilities--from healing an ally to utterly destroying furious gnomes.

The Acolyte represents the raw power of the Sun, the personification of the Light in Tauren traditions.  The outfit pieces are mostly found in the Broken Isles...so depending on how much you have worked in this area you may have most of the items needed for this stunning outfit.  An important note:  the headpiece is only found in Mythic Emerald Nightmare and may be hard to get--you might be able to find something that works well for the rest of this outfit if you cannot get into Mythic or haven't got the drop yet.

Celestially Aligned Hood (Il'gynoth - Mythic Emerald Nightmare)
Mantle of Perpetual Bloom (Cenarius - Emerald Nightmare)
Sparklight Robes (Quest Reward in Deepholm)
Trellised Handwraps (Pandaria Drop)
Cannonfire Cord (Drop from Galleon in the Valley of the Four Winds)
Vindictive Combatant's Drape of the Tracker (Found in Satchel of Battlefield Spoils)

No pants, bracers, or footgear are needed for this transmog

Ashbringer's Champion [ Paladin ]

"The Light needs a Champion now more than ever."

Wielding the famed Ashbringer, the artifact weapon for Retribution Paladins, is no easy feat.  It requires skill, confidence, and a outfit that is killer.  Sadly, this transmog works better with female characters than it does with males--but I am sure there are more than a few female Tauren Paladins out there.  Additionally, the best skin for Ashbringer for this transmog happens to be the one you unlock for completing your Order Hall quests.

The outfit is mostly from crafted items...with a few accessories that you may have to work to find.  With the Crafted items you may be able to find them on the Auction House or ask a friend to craft them for you if you don't have Blacksmithing already. 

Lightbringer War-helm (Token from Archimonde from Hyjal Summit)
Crafted Dreadful Gladiator's Scaled Shoulders (Crafted Item)
Crafted Dreadful Gladiator's Scaled Chestpiece (Crafted Item)
Crafted Dreadful Gladiator's Scaled Gauntlets (Crafted Item)
Girdle of the Silver Hand (Order Hall Progression)
Burned Gatherings (Karsh Steelbender from Cataclysm's Blackrock Caverns)

Druid of the Dreamgrove [ Druid ]



"The Dream is under attack--we must defend it at all costs"

The Druids of the Dreamgrove are currently fightin Xavius in the Emerald Nightmare; the source of druidic power that has been corrupted--hence the coloration in red.  While I am not a big fan of the color of this set; the overall effect is spectacular and quite beautiful amongst all of the Order Hall sets that I have run across so far.

The Dreamgrove set is easy to collect with most of the visable items being rewards for working on the Nighfallen and Druid storylines.  The only difficult part is the belt, but in all seriousness, even that is not difficult.  What also makes this set easy is the fact that you don't need pants, bracers, or even footgear as the robes cover all of these items--a fact that can be seen with most outfits on Tauren.

Hood of the Dreamgrove (Druid Campaign Quest Reward)
Armice of the Dreamgrove (Exalted with The Nightfallen)
Robes of the Dreamgrove (Druid Campaign Quest Reward)
Gloves of the Dreamgrove (Honored with The Nightfallen)
Cord of the Dreamgrove (Earn 100,000 Artiface Power)
No pants, bracers, or footgear are needed for this transmog

Shaman of the Storm [ Shaman ]

"Even mountains fear the storm."

Shaman's are attuned to the world of Azeroth.  It is through this connection that they have their power and skills that allow them to not only protect the lands, but the people as well.  It is the shaman of the world that connect the people to the unknown and powerful.

The Shaman of the Storm transmog shows off the preferred power of most shamans: storms.  Storms themselves are violent in nature and the outfit tries to show that off.  Getting this full outfit requires some work in Icecrown Citadel as well as some work in Pandaria.  The belt comes from the Nighthold in Suramar; which in itself might be hard to get.

Firebird's Helmet (Token from the Sha of Fear)
Horrific Flesh Epaulets (Festergut - ICC 25N)
Hearthhealer's Cloak (Greater Bounty Spoils from Weekly Draenor Raids)
Firebird's Hauberk (Grand Empress Shek'zeer - Heart of Fear)
Unclean Surgical Gloves (Festergut - ICC 25N)
Belt of Celestial Alignment (Grand Magistrix Elisandre - The Nighthold)
No pants or footgear are needed for this transmog

Might of Ulduar [ Warrior ]


"The ground quaked, but nothing would stand between me and my adversary"

Ulduar...the name brings up many good memories for me as the Wrath of the Lich King was my first World of Warcraft experience...and Ulduar some of my first raiding in Azeroth.  While the times have changed quite a bit, nothing compares to some of the armor from the third expansion of World of Warcraft.

This transmogrification set utilizes some of the impressive finds found in Azeroth during the time that the Lich King caused confusion and terror.  The set also includes items found in the dungeons and raids of Draenor...the belt may be the hardest part to get but could easily be substituted for something that you have.

Helm of the Faceless (General Vezax - Ulduar 25N)
Shoulderplates of the Deconstructor (XT-002 - Ulduar 25N)
Cloak of Cascading Blades (Drop from Draenor Bosses in Dungeons)
Primal Gladiator's Plate Chestguard (Three Marks of Honor)
Gloves of the Stela (Quest Reward for Minions of Al'Akir)
Annihilan's Waistplate (Mannoroth in Hellfire Citadel Raid)
Primal Gladiator's Plate Leggings (Three Marks of Honor)
Incarnadine Greaves (Drop from Draenor Bosses in Dungeons)

The Bone Shaman [ Shaman ]


"The bones of our ancestors speak wisdom and the bones of our enemies bestow power"

Finding good mail gear can be somewhat agonizing.  Either the gear looks really bad or it doesn't work well with Tauren body shape.  However, we can compromise and find something that looks good and fits well enough.  In this case, Jorrag had to find three separate items sets and mash them together to come up with a good look.

This set requires some time to get the complete look.  While you should already have the Mask of the Speaker (check your Transmog panel), the Primal Gladiator gear and the Sanctified Frost Witch's items may require a bit of work.  As for the Warsong items--you can get these with a bit of farming in Draenor and taking those tokens and scrap pieces back to your garrison--where hopefully you have a War Mill waiting for you.

I originally had Garden Sickles as weapons on Jorrag; but with the release of Legion and Artifact weapons; you can decide if you want to go with the artifact appearances or revert to the sickles...I'm still thinking about that one.

Mask of the Speaker (Shaman Quest)
Sanctified Frost Witch's Shoulderguards (Heroic ICC )
Primal Gladiator's Ringmail Armor (3 Marks of Honor)
Sanctified Frost Witch's Gloves (Heroic ICC)
Warsong Cord (Garrison in Draenor)
Primal Gladiator's Ringmail Leggings (3 Marks of Honor)
Warsong Boots (Garrison in Draenor)

Primal Gladiator [ Death Knight ]

Blood Champion Hruruul shows off his battleground outfit; ready to slay all of the gnomes

Almost nothing says "Death and Destruction" like a gladiator's outfit for your PvP toons.  While originally setup for Hruruul's PvP gear; this transmog has become his go-to outfit for questing around.  The red coloration shows his allegiance to The Horde while the simple skull motif and deadly spikes scream Death Knight.

This set is Death Knight only PvP gear, and while I have no cape to go with this transmog, you should be able to find something that works well for you.  Hruruul follows the teachings of the Ancient Dead...No Capes!  

These items can be found from Blood Guard Axelash in Warspear.  Go ahead and save up for the entire set as it will cost less Marks of Honor to purchase it all at one time then piece by piece.

Primal Gladiator's Dreadplate Helm (3 Marks of Honor)
Primal Gladiator's Dreadplate Shoulders(2 Marks of Honor)
Primal Gladiator's Dreadplate Chestpiece (3 Marks of Honor)
Primal Gladiator's Dreadplate Gauntlets (2 Marks of Honor)
Primal Gladiator's Girdle of Cruelty (1 Mark of Honor)
Primal Gladiator's Dreadplate Legguards (3 Marks of Honor)
Primal Gladiator's Warboots of Cruelty (2 Marks of Honor)

Farewell Draenor

Today we bid farewell to Warlords of Draenor and welcome in Legion.  What an exciting time!  New things to see, new places to explore, and new items to collect in our Transmog Tab!

Here are a few of the sights that we will not see for some time as we explore the Broken Isles!

Sunwalker [ Paladin ]


The Sunwalker transmog, made of primarily PvP gear, is another one of my favorites.  The burnished bronze look, along with the glowing white/blue accents on the shoulders, belt, and gauntlets, adds to a simplified effect accented by the realitive plainness of the pants and chest.

Attaining this transmog means you are going to have to enter some random battlegrounds (and win) to attain the Marks of Honor needed for the main parts of this outfit.  Additionally, some items may be found on the Auction House or by playing around in Ice Crown Citadel.  For the pants its a bit easier as you should have already done the quest and it should be waiting for you in your transmogrification panel...if not, get down to Pandaria and do the opening quest for it.

Golem Helmet (Wrath Drop or Auction House)
Prideful Gladiator's Scaled  Shoulders(2 Marks of Honor)
Gendarme's Cuirass (Lord Marrowgar N25 ICC)
Prideful Gladiator's Scaled Gauntlets (2 Marks of Honor)
Prideful Gladiator's Clasp of Cruelty (1 Mark of Honor)
Honorary Combat Engineer's Legguards (Acid Rain Quest in Pandaria)
Cloak of Beasts (Leatherworking)

Cenarian Defender [ Druid ]



The outfit shown above is what I would consider a good look for a druid character.  The helm throws the whole outfit into character with the horns and the belt of tusks helps out as well.  This outfit, when I first saw it many expansions ago, was one that I knew that I wanted and I worked really hard to get it--which meant that I had to PvP for it and at that time pay a lot of Conquest points.  The transmog was worth it and my character has retained this look throughout the expansions and probably will for quite some time.

Getting this look will require you to go into random Battlegrounds and win a whole bunch of them.  The prize for winning is Marks of Honor which will allow you to purchase the Ruthless Gladiator set and the belt which are still considered PvP gear.  This transmog is completely from that set (with the exception of the belt) and as such, is be easy to attain--only costing you 11 Marks of Honor.

Ruthless Gladiator's Dragonhide Helm (3 Marks of Honor)
Ruthless Gladiator's Dragonhide Spaulders (2 Marks of Honor)
Ruthless Gladiator's Dragonhide Robes (3 Marks of Honor)
Ruthless Gladiator's Dragonhide Gloves (2 Marks of Honor)
Prideful Gladiator's Belt of Meditation (1 Mark of Honor)

Because you cannot see the pants or the boots, don't worry about getting them.  A neat effect of the Prideful Belt is that from time to time it will glow to match the color of the medallions and stones on the spaulders.
