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.

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

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)

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)
