The Trial of Style is Here…Again!

For those who missed out on the Trial of Style last year there is good news; this week starts the second season!  This micro-holiday is a great way to test your creative abilities (especially on a time limit), work towards getting new items for your transmogrification collection, and to have fun doing something you don’t get to do in-game all the time.

The Trial of Style pits you and five other people in a fashion contest.  You are able to queue for the instance at the transmogrifier in any major city.  Shortly after entering the instance a theme will be announced, and you have two and a half minutes to work on your transmog!  Once complete, or when the timer runs out, you take your turns modeling the outfit and voting on your favorite.  The Trial takes about five minutes and is easy to complete.

You earn tokens for competing and the higher up you rank in the fashion show means you get more tokens you get.  These tokens are used to purchase Ensembles for everyday wear and, this year, you can even purchase props which can be used in the Trial of Style instance to help show off your creation.  You may need to queue up several times to get the Ensemble set that you want—but its easy and doesn’t take long at all.

The new Ensembles you can purchase this year are:

Ensemble: Mindwrack Raiment (cloth)

Ensemble: Tundraspite Armor (leather)

Ensemble: Crimson Sentinel Garb (mail)

Ensemble: Goldspine Plate (plate)

The props, while just for fun, will really make your screenshots really stand out — and maybe even help you win.  These items can be purchased in the instance by a friendly vendor.  The props you can purchase are:Trial of Style Flames, Trial of Style Spotlight, and Trial of Style Dance Floor.  These items should be a lot of fun—but sadly only work in the Trial of Style instance.

If you didn't get the sets from last year don't worry: you can still purchase the first season's  Ensembles.  Each set is sixty tokens; so you need to do the instance several times and you can only purchase Ensembles that match your armor type.

You have the rest of this week to take part in the Trial of Style...after that it ends for yet another year.
