Over the past week or so, some of my characters’ outfits have been changing…
Ireenia is wearing pants?? What is this craziness??
Laz goes to Holy-wood… Him going heals was bound to happen, I am too chicken to tank LFR!
Effy in shades of blue… I actually quite like this darker set with the blue accents.
That is all I have for now!

Because my Worgen should NEVER be this colorful…
Welcome to Townlong. Don’t worry, Sif. It will all be over soon.

Here is the second set I have been working on for Ireenia. A tad more risque than her leveling set, it was inspired by the chestpiece – the Leather Tunic of Eminent Domain. Though the chestpiece I used is only available from the starter Jade Forest quests on the Alliance side, apparently this chestpiece is a reused model, available as a drop in Trial of the Crusader and a Leatherworking pattern that also drops there. Hope that helps others who like it. 🙂
I have been playing around with a more class-color version of the set, and that is also below. The Trickster’s pieces are being most elusive, though.

I have been putting a lot of effort into leveling and gearing my Monk, Ireenia, recently. But all of that is for naught if she does not look good, right? 😉 So during that time, I have also been playing with transmogs for her, especially considering how exciting it is for me to finally be able to put a Draenei into leather!
Two main sets have sprung from playing around. The first, I call the Tenacity Set, since leveling Ireenia was a process of determination, and gearing her even more so. I may very well go back to this for one of her specs. It seems most appropriate for healing.
The big question is whether I will be able to get the normal-mode Tier 14 shoulders, as I am not setup to switch to my Monk until after 5.2 goes live.
This set was inspired by the wonderful Windscale Sarong. It is Draenei-tested and Mum-approved, unlike the next set. 😉

And here is finally the culmination of all of my Rogue Sacrifices! Lycaohn‘s outfit. The first set is what he wore to look good while we farmed the second set. 🙂
I really wanted something dark for Lycaohn. I settled for red and black. It started with an eyepatch (originally the Rifle Commander’s Eyepatch) and The Night Blade which I got randomly somewhere on some other toon and knew Lycaohn needed it.
I think it is very sexy, especially in his Worgen form, but the trouble was making it look good as a human too.
Expect to see him and Chíyu soon. After I finish part 3 of As the Sun Sets.

Level 85 Set (Adjustments only)
I realized that though I have posted some guildie outfits, lately I have not posted any of my own! Time to remedy that.
Even before I got Effy to Level 90, I started playing with a Monk. They are quite an interesting class to heal with, and I had fun leveling her to 85, where she now sits. I just cannot bring myself to level another toon to 90 right now. I got Caeridwen to 90, and Lazheward is making progress – or at least he was until I started pet battling!
Now that the holidays are past, my goal is to get back to my various short stories. One such story that I am currently working on includes my Rogue, Lycaohn, and my new Monk, Chíyu. So it seems only appropriate to showcase their transmogs before then.
As soon as I saw Chíyu with the Jinxed Hoodoo Kilt I knew I had to build her an outfit with it. This set is somewhat progressive – it evolved as she she did. So there are actually two sets here.
My goal was to make a leather set that said “I am a Monk” – Monk items, Monk color, and not pieces that might make her look more like a Druid or a Rogue. I am pretty happy with the results, and you can expect to see her in some form of this set in my short story.
~ Effy
P.S. = Even though Chíyu is now Level 85, I made the mistake of trying out a Draenei Monk. I am totally hooked. Their animations are awesome, and I am already very partial to Draenei… So although Chíyu is now a story character and not going anywhere, I imagine it will be my Draenei, Ireenia (her page will fill out more once she is over Level 10 and shows up on the Armory), that I start to focus on more. Besides, this FINALLY gives me a Draenei I can play with leather sets on!

Ariano’s Guardian Set
Ariano is a Druid of many talents. She is first and foremost one of our guild’s main tanks. She also happens to be an exceptional Kitty Druid, and DPS’s for our continuing string of Challenge Mode Gold runs. Then, she is a big achievement hunter! (She has recently become very interested in pet battles, as I have!) Lastly, she is just an all around super friendly, cool cat to hang out with. 🙂
She gave me both her Guardian and her Feral sets, which differ by only the headpiece. It includes the feathered T11 shoulders, which I give big thumbs up to. In fact, it is heavily a T11 transmog, which is an all around great set. The headpieces and Black Ice really set it off and make it Ariano’s very own.
Playing the part of Ari in the pictures below is my Druid, Solaes, so my apologies for facial features that are not quite Ari’s.

Thursday night was our last raid for the year and the UR holiday party. I knew that Effy could not attend without an appropriate outfit, so I spent the better part of Tuesday night piecing together and farming the pieces. My goal was to make it as easy to acquire as possible (AKA no raid drops that I might fail at), and use as many pieces as I could from my already vast collection.
So some bank/void storage scrounging, some JP to Honor, a run through Old Hillsbrad to do the quest I somehow did not have complete (and then deciding on a different belt that dropped), and a few normal BC dungeons later – it was done!
I do not usually pair green and red together, so this outfit was rather difficult. I tried to make it subtle, and not too garish. I also tried to keep it Shaman-y, and it HAD to have a kilt. Effy must wear a kilt. Effy also must remain modest, I never dress her in anything too skimpy. Showing some cleavage in her Frost Witch set is about as far as she goes. 🙂

Alternates:
Throughout the party, while others were Tweeting, I was taken various screenshots.
There were parts of the party for raider awards, gifts, and trivia…
We received some strange looks from numerous lowbies passing through Kharanos!
Gv – Awarded the MVP award! (Isn’t he festive looking??)
Phoxill (formerly raiding on Tyraxys) – Most Improved Raider!
Amowrath – Both Most Helpful Raider and a newly promoted Crusader!
Otoka – the Excellence award! (He was out of town, and his award was received by… this tentacle…)
We also all found out that Ranico is stepping down as GM and handing the reins fully to Mindy. He is not going anywhere, just trying to take it easy. Mindy has been his Co-GM for a while now, so the transition should be a smooth one. 🙂
Then, it was Lawn Darts: Ironforge! Oof, that gives me vertigo…
I did not win, but I was happy at how close I made it. I believe our Rogue, Trusker, won.
Amo demonstrating the majesty of the Light.
When I first met Amowrath, one of the first people I really talked to in UR, his Pally was a Human male. It was just recently that he made the change, and it is one it seems he should have done long before. I adored Human Amo, but Draenei Amo just seems so much more fitting. And she is a sexy Draenei, what can I say? I am biased.
Though, it does still make me question how I will handle his introduction in my UR story. 🙂
In fact, I would include Amo’s raider bio, but it is for his Human Pally. I will link it here, but it does not quite fit with the “he”s and “his”s. Maybe I can talk him into updating it.
Amo is part of our awesome healing team, and often my confidant in matters of healing – at least, those not entirely specific to Resto Shaman. heh He also assists me with the ins and outs of Pallies, both Holy and Prot. And I can always count on him for a good douse of sarcasm.
This set is growing on me. I like the Soulforge and Revenant pieces, especially with the nice purple Draenei skin, but I was originally questioning some of the other pieces (such as the gloves) until I really saw this set in action. With movement and Pally spells flying, it becomes more obvious how well the colors and pieces all complement each other.

I wonder if FInal has ever thought of using his pet as a mount? Hmm
After posting Pawnfu’s set and having a talk with Finalflame while he was putting together his pieces in an email to me, I realized that I could do similar to what I did with Pawnfu and post a bio piece Final wrote. This was written back when I first started working on Descending Twilight, and I was getting raider bios to assist me.
Final submitted this:
I am a deadly hunter, knocking down enemies thanks to my prowess with a bow. I am a dwarf who enjoys the solitude of the snowy mountains, as well as the hourly keg of ale. I am a highly skilled engineer, able to come up with a complex machine at a moments notice.
Who am I?
I have slayed numerous dragons and creations, without thought for my own safety. I have traversed the world in search of rare creatures to fight alongside me. I have knocked down thousands of demons, giants, beasts, elementals, that have tried to stop me.
Who am I?
I have helped hundreds of people, some of whom I had never met before, so that they too can live in happiness. I have swam deep oceans in search of long-lost items that were of little value to me. I have done numerous jobs throughout Azeroth for just the satisfaction of knowing that the job is done.
Who am I?
I am the dwarf you rarely see, but always hear about. I am the hunter that is off saving Azeroth from whatever evil is plaguing it. I am the hunter who spends time in the wild bonding with my companions Mavros, Iktomi, Liekos, and Firstflame, to name a few.
Who am I?
I am Finalflame, the dwarven hunter, the destroyer of all evils.
Final joined UR not long after I did, and he has since been a staple to our raids. He is now also a companion of mine in Challenge Modes! I trust him implicitly, as he is an excellent Hunter and a fine fire-dancing raider. 🙂
Final’s set is also based on the Rift Stalker set, similar to Kaygome’s, but he uses different accessories, illustrating how even some of the exact same pieces can be used to create something quite different! The biggest differences are the goggles – showing off Final’s tinkering skills – and his crossbow.
I did notice Final’s boots are unmogged. Overlooked or part of the grand scheme? I will have to ask! Either way, I think the red between them and the goggles are just enough to work. 🙂
