Hai there! Hunters and Shamans are very in touch with nature as we all know, plus it’s spring, so here are to very green, very mail-y outfits! I make the cleaverest titles, don’t I? The Green Mail. Heh. Anyway, here they both are! Including proper mounts, hunter pets, and a make-up look inspired by the greenness!

DISCLABLABLA: I used the same shoulders for both sets. I love how they look, and they’re also the focus on my make-up look later on. They’re what makes the world go round. 

Well first off, my Hunter. I got this gorgeous looking kilt while questing somewhere and I was instantly in love with it. As you all know and have seen my Hunter LOVES kilts, and I often tend to look for kilt looks without looking too much like a Shaman. So, I went with this, and ended up with a very down to earth, natureish look!

But I felt like I need to still keep my Hunter identity, so for the chest I went with an old-PvP piece. This goddamn helm drops from a rare mob INSIDE Maraudon, meaning I had to get it to spawn, then get it to drop the item, while being limited to 5 runs per hour. It took 53 runs, I only saw him 5 times during them. So, if you like this helm, be warned, your nerves will hate you.

Other than that, the rest is easy to obtain. The chest is only 1100 honor which isn’t much nowadays, the kilt is a quest reward, shoulders are BoE…

The bow sort of had me concerned. I really optimally would ABSOLUTELY ADORE to have Rhok’delar but alas, I didn’t even have a hunter back then. So if you do still have this bow, then great! (I also hate you.) Anyway, went with the second-best naturally looking bow, and this one is nice and leafy and viny. So, here’s a picture spam!

So that’s the look! It would look amazing on a Night Elf huntress methinks. I know the chest looks more metallic than naturalish, but it’s what distinguishes the Hunter from the Shaman look. I also adore turtlenecks, we need moar of those damnit!

As always, here’s some delicious pets that match this outfit:

King Krush


Green Madexx

Kash

Hutia

Well, one more thing about my hunter. If you’re male and you want to preserve your masculinity by not wearing a dress, here’s alternative leggings!

And that’s it for this set! Here’s the item list:

Head: Bloomsprout Headpiece

Shoulders: Thick Scale Shoulder Pads

Chest: Vicious Gladiator’s Chain Armor

Hands: Osul Peak Gauntlets 

Waist: Therazane’s Link

Legs: Osul Peak Kilt  /  Infernal Trickster Leggings

Feet: Tsunami Boots (only if you use pants)

Bow: Wyrmstalker’s Bow

~*~*~*~*~

Gasp, my first ever Shaman entry! Still inspired by the shoulders, one thing led to another and this was the final result. Cute thing about this set is, all the pieces are classless! Meaning you can find them and your Hunter can use them as well.

So I went the extra mile and actually purchased and epic tank shield for this set. A shield that’s around my level. Lawl. DEDICATION.

Optimally I would loved to have a different belt, preferably this one, and a different mace, this one. That mace is just gorgeous and very natural-looking, and would have gone perfect with the set. But alas, RNG is RNG and I didn’t manage to get them in time. Anyway, pix:

Now, unlike my Hunter set where I was focusing more on leafy and viney, this set is more about trees, especially tree bark. This shield was just captivating and absolutely matches the set. (Ignore the ugly temp. mace)

This set could be costly. The helm is from a raid, so is the chest. But the shield and legs are BoE epics and they usually can be very costly… The shield DOES have a green-quest reward replacement so w00t for that? Item list:

Head: Helm of the Nether Scion

Shoulder: Thick Scale Shoulder Pads

Chest: Heinous Mail Chestguard

Hands: Stormscale Gloves (Same model as Hunter, but easier to obtain)

Waist: Thick Scale Belt

Legs: Phase-Twister Leggings

Feet: Can’t be seen so none

Weapon: Lightforged Elementium Hammer

Shield: Yaungol Battle Barrier

Staff suggestion if you happen to wear one: Draenic Wildstaff

That’s all for this set! Hope you enjoy it :3

~*~*~*~*~

There is a chest piece that will match both sets. It’s this one. However, that would have made me look too…set…ish, and I’d rather mix and match random pieces rather than have a uniform. So, it’s there just as an idea, it is indeed a gorgeous chest so keep it in mind!

Speaking of things that match both outfits, mounts:

 The green Dragon and Great Dragon turtle for ground


The Green Proto-Drake for flying


And the gorgeous Jade Pandaren Kite, which looks very feathery and flowy and awesome.

If you’re curious about companions, I suggest you check out my previous Springalicious post, where I included a lot of springy, therefore natureish, things.

Here are my babies, edited to get in “touch” with nature. Get it? Huehue.

And as I haven’t in a while, here’s a make-up look inspired by the shoulders!

THAT’S IT.

~*~*~*~

So here’s the original post.

I must say Liopleurodon, it was a very very nice find. I did some questing for it, tried to match some chests, shoulders, head….IT WAS NOT EASY I MUST ADMIT. But, few quest chains and 2700g later, this was the final result:

Okay, okay, not what everyone expected. But you must admit, it’s kinda badass isn’t it? Not really defined, not really monk-y, but the hidden face and long flowy dress sure make for one badass looking monk/druid/rogue.

YES, ALL THE ITEMS ARE NON-CLASS SPECIFIC. REJOICE!

I took her outside Ulduar because it’s the most dark/golden zone, and it made for a very nice setting for some screenshots:

And here it is, from the back! Note the awesome matching colors :3 THAT’S EFFORT, SON.

I was having a bit of a problem with the weapon. My Monk is only 81, she hasn’t done any raids or HC dungeons yet, so I didn’t really have much choice. And since she’s currently using a polearm, that’s what I decided to use. I just love the one I found, it’s very sleek but matches just so, so well. Delicious.

Here’s a list of all the items! They’re all non-class restricted, some might need grinding, some might need the AH, but overall I was able to compose this set in basically an hour.

Head: Ancient Terokkar Hood

Shoulders: Mantle of Bestial Lore

Chest: Vest of Discovery

Hands: Moonglade Handwraps

Waist: Nethergarde Belt

Legs: Nature-Stitched Kilt

Feet: Anything black/brown/gray/green! Hooves.

Weapon: Bleak Styche

Any weapon (well not ANY color) will match this set. It’s just a nice set that’s very easy to obtain. I hope you enjoyed it!

As for mounts, this is what I went for for the ground (ally only!):

Both Mountain horses are just awesome (and one of my personal favorites) mounts for this set. The set itself is very flashy, so you don’t really need extra things going on with your mount too. Hordes, I don’t really play horde so I can’t recommend anything similar (HOWEVER I am leveling a Belf hunter, so I will be familiar with all the mounts soon!)

As for the flying ones, there’s two I picked:

The Time-Lost Proto Drake, because it’s lovely and golden and just suits the zone mood. It is also the envy of most people, so even more reason to show it off!

The Disk of the Flying Red Cloud is another perfect mount and the only mount I really use for my monk. Very easy to obtain, and looks amazing as it just focuses on your character and not your mount. You also look awesome while riding it!

Tip: If you unseethe your weapon, then mount this, your wep will stay unseethed! Even moar awesome!

And in the end, here’s me being helpful and taking the song out of your head :3

See you soon! Tweet me @Samaramon!

Well spring is here, even though it snows in some areas…Still, some areas (like where I live) are happy and shiny, so it inspired me to do a few Springalicious outfits to wear around Azeroth! These aren’t transmoggable mind you (well, they technically are), but more like suggestions if you want to feel pretty and springy. They’re also just pretty outfits for around the town or special occasions, so hope you enjoy them! Also, misc ramblings to follow :3

The first one is an outfit that I currently have mogged (except the head). It’s very in touch with nature, very green, but also very blue which makes it perfect for visiting a forest or even a sea. Keep in mind I’ll be using the same Staff, Head and Belt in all 3 outfits!

Anyway, went on a photosession…screenshotsession? and took many pics of the sets in natural surroundings. Here are some of them!
(Sadly, the chest I’m wearing is no longer in-game BUT because I’m nice and lovely I’ll post the most similar model)

To spare us time, and because this isn’t really a transmog post, I’ll just link the items in one single line:

Head, shoulders, shirt, chest (OR this alternative) hands, waist, staff.

~*~*~*~

Next we have a more draeneish-looking set, because the robe is from the Draenei starting area. However, before you go all QQ I MUST HAVE MISSED IT, it’s actually from a quest that’s easy to miss because it’s a drop-quest, so go check! Belt and staff the same

It’s a great looking robe, especially the colors. The blue and purple details make it lovely for out on the sea, or just in any purple environment. Again the staff and belt might not be the best match, but I feel like they add to the nature aspect of the set.

Chest, gloves. If you are maybe looking for shoulders to match and wanna transmog, I usually use these. They are very girly and a fun match in the colors.

~*~*~*~

And last we have this lovely pink set. Ever since I got the ribbon I’ve been looking for a way to include it in a set, and this is what I came up with!

It’s a pretty set isn’t it? Very springy, very pretty!

Chest, Shoulders, Shirt, Hands!

~*~*~*~

Now, every springy outfit needs a springalicious mount! These are my pics for ground and flying mounts

Colors are very vibrant, just perfect for spring

And of course, we need some springalicious pets!

Well that’s it for this colorful post, hope you enjoy it!

~*~*~*~

In other news, why is Twitter so addicting? @_@ I spend all day refreshing it ;_; @Samaramon, tweet me!

Also, my darling bf got me the baby Ragnaros pet :3 so cute! It was a surprise too!

Yesterday I saw a twink 60 warrior in trade, wanting to buy a boost in BWL. He was offering 1k. I don’t need gold but I offered anyway! We chatted alot, he was really after Ashkandi. We had a fun run, and whaddya know, ASHKANDI DROPPED! He was very grateful, and very happy, and so was I! He passed everything else so I got some nice transmog greens and blues, so was a good run for both. That’s my good deed of the week xD

I also decided to go for [The seat of Knowledge] achievement. It will be a pain, yes, but I really love titles and I really want that one so HERE I COME!

No new mounts for me this week, although I did consider buying the TCG raptor…However, I found out that it was the same model with one of the raptors from the Primal eggs, so changed my mind.

In IRL news, I bought myself a giant foam sword that I adore! Here it is, next to my PS1 and 2, my WoW shrine, and a (tiny) portion of my Hello Kitty obsession :3

That’s it, peace out!

We’ve all seen these sets, but here I am to post them again and show my rendition of each one, and what I use to match them up with. Why the title? Well, I have no idea what to name them. Engraved is a term that I love and I think it describes the gear well, and soldiers because I used my Warrior and Paladin as the models… or something. Shh. 

 Let me just say that this, along with all my sets, are 100% legit. I farm my gear, I buy my gear, I spent about 5k on these sets, and had to make some real bargains for some of the pieces. I don’t use addons to show sets, what you see is what you get. What you see, is what I have in-game. I put 100% effort into everything and I’m happy if it gets recognized

Another note: I will just be using the chest and legs of these sets. The rest (with maybe exceptions) will be things that I gathered that I believe fit much better than its “set” pieces.

ONWARDS.

First, the Imbued set.

I really enjoy the color scheme of this set. Maybe not the red bits, but otherwise it’s just a very fun and attractive set to have. I love the gray/pale-blueish bits and it was very fun matching them. The shoulders that actually go with the set, in my opinion, really DON’T go with the set xD They’re a different shade of blue and just not practical. So I found an alternative.

Before any confusion ensues, YES I am a Paladin and YES I AM leveling with a polearm >_> She’s 85, and I made this spear from archaeology  which is much better than the greens offered in the quests and it will last me a long time. I reforged the Agi anyway :3

As for alternative weapons, I’ll be honest. My paladin is an alt I barely ever play (sadly due to lack of time) so her weapon range isn’t very broad. But, anything blue/red/gray goes perfect Feel free to suggest any weapons!

Mounts! I found that the Crimson Deathcharger matches very well for a ground mount. It’s blue underneath, and red on top, so it matches the engraving on the set. His hooves are white/pale blue making them a great match to the shoulders, boots etc.

For the flying mount, the Twilight Drake is just perfection. It’s blue, and has red markings on the legs JUST like the set you’re wearing. Just a match made in heaven. Also majestic as f*ck.

Right, list items:

Head: None that I could find :/

Shoulders: Jade Epaulets (Warning: may be costly)

Chest: Imbued Plate Armor

Hands: Truesilver Gauntlets

Waist: Jouster Girdle (Not the best match but eh)

Legs: Imbued Plate Leggings

Feet: Grimscale Sabatons

Polearm: Black Ice

~*~*~*~*~*~

Next is the Hyperion set.

Now, I already featured this set in my Fiery Gladiator entry, so to spare us time and length, I will just include some pics I took today, and add mounts You can find the entire list of items there, so clicky that link if you’re interested!

 
As for the mounts, I suggest using the Flameward Hippogryph for flying, and Fiery Warhorse (can never have too much fire) for ground.

 ~*~*~*~*~

Next, the Enchanted Thorium set (ouch)

Reason I say ouch is because THE PLANS FOR THE CHEST ARE NO LONGER IN-GAME. It would be a freaking miracle to find a Blacksmith with the plans, or even rarer, find it on the AH. Luckily, before I moved servers (from a low-pop PvE to a high-pop RP server) I managed to score this chestpiece for FREE by some person who wanted to get rid of it. The legs share a model, thank f*ck, but the chest is very, very hard to find :/ Sorry

(You can hide it with the Shattered Sun tabard, looks awesome)

For the mounts, I went with a golden theme instead of black. So, using the Amber Scorpion for ground, and the Thundering August Cloud serpent for flying.

Item list:

Head: Crown of Empowered Fate

Shoulders: Swiftsteel Shoulders

Chest: Enchanted Thorium Breastplate

Hands: Stonegrip Gauntlets 

Waist: Belt of the Fallen Emperor (it’s thin and matches the red on the weps)

Legs: Inkling’s Leggings (Same model as the Enchanted Thorium legs)

Feet: Onslaught Treads

Weapons: Draconic Avenger

~*~*~*~*~

Last, but not least, the Commander set.

Although very similar to the Hyperion set, this one is more brown and darker, which might suit some people who don’t really like the bright colors of the Hyperion set. This is also the first time I actually used a class-specific piece: the shoulders. I just wasn’t happy with anything, however, you COULD use the shoulders that I used for my gladiator set. Give it a go :3

I didn’t include mounts for this one as I feel like you can use any of either the Hyperion or the Thorium set. Also the same case with the weapons! You can use ANY red/brown weapon you can find, it all goes well. Because, as I said, I’m currently leveling with a polearm, this is my personal choice.

Item list:

Head: I like my long hair with this set, but there are plenty of nice helms to go with this!

Shoulder: Merciless Gladiator’s Lamellar Shoulders

Chest: Commander’s Armor

Hands: Weeping Gauntlets (maybe a bit dark, but I prefer this)

Waist: Girdle of Oblation

Legs: Commander’s Leggings

Feet: Master Cannoneer Boots

Weapon: Hellreaver

~*~*~*~*~

That’s it for this long-ass post! The ONLY class-restricted piece is the last shoulders, otherwise ANY plate wearer can use these sets. Hope you liked them! ^-^

~*~*~*~*~

I didn’t do a makeup look for this transmog, unlike my previous ones, because I feel like I did enough makeup for this week I love all the new people I met via Twitter (@Samaramon, DO IT) and all the amazing new blogs I discovered thanks to them I added quite a few new ones to my Favorites on the side there, very happy to have seen them!

I’ve also decided to do two posts a week, one Misc, one Transmog. I feel it’s the perfect amount not to overcrowd my blog, but also not to be too scarce. My hunter got 90 last night, so expect another hunter set soon!

OH, AND HAPPY EASTER/NOBLEGARDEN EVERYONE!

Have a nice day! <3

So, I had this idea, and after 5 hours, 20 used wet tissues and one watery eye later, VOILA. FTA: Make-up edition.

First, let’s start with Stormwind. Now, I used the crest for all the other cities, but Stormwind apparently has none. Instead, they still use the Lordaeron one, and the only place where you see the lion is on the Alliance crest (which is a mix of them all). So, I decided to use the Lion as the crest instead. Added in a gryphon, and this was the final result:

(Clicky for bigger res)

Next is Ironforge. Oddly, their crest is mostly green instead of red… However, due to some shields in-game and the Great Forge itself having a red hammer, I mixed and matched. Also I added a keg of beer! Cheers!

Oh, the gnomes. The curse of not having their own city. Still, I used Gnomeregan as an inspiration for all the pipes, and the crest for all the cogs and bolts. (this one looks different because I did it last night with different lightning :/ )

Then we have Darnassus. Mostly inspired by that gorgeous and famous Tyrance pic, I decided to use the Night-elf eyebrows and markings, and added some leafs and of course, Elune. Added Glaives as inspired by the crest:

And alas, my people, my darling Exodar. Inspiration taken from the Shards of the Exodar, the two blue lines around the eyes are the Gift of the Naaru, and the black markings are actually inspired by the markings you can see on almost any Draenei structure. And I used the marking that Draenei have on their forehead. Color scheme is of course, blue and purple. Enjoy!

And last, but not least, Gilneas. Gilneas is a gorgeous place, I really hate that it is unused and never seen by anyone who isn’t a level 12 worgen. Just unfair to that entire zone. Anyway, roses taken from the crest, raven from all the ravens that circle Gilneas, and apparently I can’t draw a Worgen howling at the full moon with clouds.

YES I DIDN’T DO PANDAREN. I consider them neutral still, and if this article proves to be interesting and demanding, I will do them too. And I will also do the Horde!

ALL COPYRIGHT TO THE CRESTS AND IMAGES GOES TO BLIZZARD.COM

That’s it! Please let me know if you liked this

I still haven’t forgotten about transmogging, don’t worry. I’m actually preparing a 4 set megapost very soon! Just gathering a few more pieces, and hoping that RNG and the AH will be nice to me.

Have a wonderful weekend all! ♥

I had this random idea: Why don’t I review my personal favorite places in Azeroth? It can be a sub-zone from a zone, or a small hut or house, that not many people know or have noticed. I will post pictures of it, give its ups and downs, write about its points of interest etc. So, that’s how the idea of SFP – Sam’s Favorite Places was born. It should be fun to read and maybe it can even help people discover gorgeous places!
My first selection: FEATHERMOON STRONGHOLD.

Since the Cataclysm, Feralas, like many zones, got completely revamped. Many of our old favorite places got destroyed, but they were replaced by new, gorgeous places that sadly, other than having 2-3 quests tied to them, had no real significant meaning or return value. I believe this became the case with the New Feathermoon, or better known as Feathermoon Stronghold. While questing in Feralas which I only did once because the zone is so remote and distant (sadly), I couldn’t help but notice this gorgeous little town. And I say town, not a hub, because this place really is a tiny town. It is really a shame that it had so little quests tied to it that it went nearly unnoticed by many. UNTIL NOW. Here I am, about to feature this amazing place and give my honest review on it.

(Click all thumbnails to see the large versions!)

When you first arrive at this location, you will notice how large this place actually is. There are about 6 large buildings, which is more than most quest hubs or even minor towns like Darkshire. However, due to the very little quests you can get here, most (if not all) of the buildings are empty. THIS IS WHY THIS IS AN AMAZING ROLEPLAYING PLACE! It’s basically an empty town, full of empty houses and lots and lots of beds, chairs, tables with food on them, bookcases, terraces, and much more stuff that are just great for RP.

Keep in mind, this is only a good location IF YOU’RE ALLIANCE. Otherwise, your hordie will get slaughtered and I will show you why in a bit. However, don’t be sad, as hordes have a certain…luxurious place that allies can’t really get to, so all is right in the world…of warcraft.

Hello! This tour will be presented by my twinkie rogue, Sammilyn. I felt a night-elf will be more suiting for this place.

The first place you will see when you arrive is the Inn. This is an amazing building, and it actually looks the most Inn-y out of most inns ingame. It has a fruit vendor, and about 6 beds that have night stands, tables, food. The building is rimmed with a terrace that also has tables and chairs, and a great view to the sea.

Note the adorable beds and detail? Shame this place goes unnoticed, isn’t it?

If you go to the left of the inn (facing the sea-left), you will come across a Moonwell. They’re still needed for making Mooncloth AND Primal Mooncloth. So if your tailor ever needs to make these pieces, you could go on a trip here. Sure, it’s far, but it’s a lovely place to visit.

Right around the Moonwell, there are two big towers facing each other. They only have guards inside and around them, so you could use them as a military roleplay points. Otherwise, they really have nothing important but still add to the beauty of this place.

You can see the Moonwell right between these towers! However, the tower which is next to the sea provides an amazing view, especially at sunset!

Right across the Moonwell and Inn, is the home of Shandris Feathermoon herself. If you’re unsure who she is, here’s a short bio on her from WoWpedia. She’s awesome:

“Shandris is one of the most loyal warriors in Tyrande Whisperwind’s employ. A fearless archer and huntress, Shandris stood by Tyrande’s side through the millennia of solitude that kept her away from her love, Malfurion. Shandris came to lead a cadre of Sentinels known as the Shadowleaves. She is the most talented markswoman in Azeroth, having honed her skills for ten thousand years. In all of Azeroth, her only rivals with the bow are Lady Vashj and the Sisters Windrunner.”

And she’s there as well! She is one of the few questgivers in this lovely town, so make sure you visit her. And here’s the building:

You know why this building rocks? It has 4 empty rooms! The only room that has NPCs is Shandris’s room. The rest are empty, making them amazing for RP or housing. You can see two entrances at the top of the tree, THOSE ARE EMPTY TOO! The inside has two rooms, both with furniture, books, food. Just an amazing place, really. Sea-view too!

One of the top rooms

On the OTHER side of the Inn, is the reason why I said a horde would die. MASSIVE-ASS ARMY OF GLAIVE-THROWERS, SOLDIERS, AND FREAKING SABER CATS!

Sure the vehicles might be decorative but I’d be damned if this doesn’t look bad-ass with a capital ass. It’s a freaking shame Blizzard did nothing about this little hub, it would have been a freaking amazing place to fight in, or prepare for battle. Maybe a scenario someday? Please? <3

If you follow the road, you will reach a few arches surrounding a statue. I’m not sure who the statue is supposed to represent, as I couldn’t find any info on the internet nor does the statue have a readable plaque. Still, it’s an iconic place.

This place is also guarded by an Ancient, Karonas. If you talk to him, he can give you a lift to the old Feathermoon island! This is also the place that offers various merchants, as well as a fishing trainer.

Behind this place is another big BUT EMPTY building. It also offers a large, empty and furnished room on the top!

Me walking along the rail, enjoying the view.

And last but not least, here’s a small picture showing all the rooms and beds found in this little town, so you can see the RP potential!

That’s all I can say about this place in pictures.

I’m gonna give this my final thoughts:

PLACES OF INTEREST/PROS

Moonwell, Inn, Stable master, Mailbox, Fishing Trainer, General, trade and food goods vendor, Cloth/Leather armor merchant, Shandris Feathermoon, Amazing buildings, Military, Quests.

CONS
Remote/distant and separated from any major capital; Zone surrounded by greenish mist that can make your eyes sore if staring too long; Not enough quests to keep you engaged.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Well that’s my review of this sub-zone! Please make sure you visit this zone, as it is really a shame that it goes unnoticed by many. I hope this helped some of you if your guild was looking for a place to call their own, or just if your character needed a home. I know it’s quite distant, but considering the millions of ways we have nowadays for teleportation (closest being the Uldum portal, CoT portal, Theramore portal or the Gadgetzan teleporter), it really shouldn’t take longer than 5-10 minutes to get here. It is also a lovely place if you want to take a vacation and just relax, fish a bit, read a nice book and have well-deserved rest.

Hope you enjoyed this new section! If you found this interesting please let me know, as I’d love to show you more of my personal favorite places.

Have a wonderful day!

Well if you’ve gone on my blog lately, you’d have noticed it’s offline most of the time. This is due to some unknown error that many WordPress users have, and me and my bf are yet to find a solution. Until we do, I’ll try my best to keep the site online by restarting the server. Sorry!

WELL THEN, ONWARDS.

I decided to stop doing RRT and change it to a RRD instead. Random Ramblings Day is way easier to pull off than Tuesday. I just can’t time it properly, and it’s a big commitment. So, from now on I’ll just do it on any day that I have something to post about.

~*~*~*~*~

I’m also interested in starting to use Twitter more often. I don’t really have a way of letting people know when I update, or keeping in touch with other blogs, so it would be lovely if you guys would give me your Tweet…accounts? (no idea how Twitter works lol) so I can follow you Would love to follow all my fellow transmoggers or just general WoW bloggers! My twitter is @Samaramon, plain and simple Follow me or let me know your Twitter name…thingy!

~*~*~*~*~

Okay, I wanna talk about the stuff I got these past few weeks while I was absent. I didn’t really have time to post, but however I did get a few important (to me) things that I wanna share with you all

Here they are!

♥ While doing Icecrown with my guild (we love running old raids for transmog, achvies and just fun), something happened that I have never seen in all my years of ICC raiding: THE PRECIOUS’ RIBBON DROPPED. And for some reason, it popped up as a Need/Greed Needless to say I needed, AND ROLLED 100. I was like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! I’ve wanted that damn shirt ever since I found out about it, all my guildies knew I wanted it, so to win with 100 was just…destiny. Anyway, here I am:

Pink pink pink goodness.  I was so happy, I still am. <3

Later that week, Jin’Ya dropped but since the new patch is here and I got it way too late into the patch, it now feels “eh” and not worth posting about.

♥ Ever since I was able to solo Attumen, I’ve been running Kara on all my chars. Since MoP nearly all my 80+ chars could solo him, so I’d keep all my alts in or around Deadwind pass and just do Attumen. I was doing Attumen on about 11 characters across two realms for weeks and weeks…….UNTIL LAST WEEK. The Fiery Warhorse reins finally dropped on my Paladin, I could not believe it! I never thought I’d see that damn mount, yet here it was that fine morning.

My Shammy is in the picture, if you wanna see her set lemme know!

♥ Now, since WotLK I’ve had a twink rogue. At first, she was capped at 39, but then decided to go the road …more traveled and made her a 70 twink. I basically scavenged nice gear, did pvp, all that jazz. However, due to some tough boss mechanics I was unable to do Black Temple with a couple guildies, and I didn’t think it was worth pugging due to stress and me being 70 and squishy, so I just left the raids alone and basically just did pvp. However, MoP hit and my bf was able to solo most of the bosses in BT,  so me, him and our friend and guildie Tash went there. My first Illidan kill was two weeks ago. Last week was my second ever Illidan kill.

LAST WEEK WAS ALSO WHEN THE OFF-HAND GLAIVE DROPPED.

They both passed <3 so it was miiiiiiiiiine. I was SO excited I barely slept that night, took a billion screenshots of it. Mongoose was almost instantly enchanted on it, and it’s gorgeous.

Pictured above is my twink rogue, if you’re interested in what she’s wearing let me know! I made that set specifically for the glaive.

 ♥ Yesterday was also the day I got Kirin Tor offensive exalted. I got Black Prince exalted on the same day, but alas, he has no achievement or anything. Just the green glow and the “HURR EXALTOD” text jammed between my loot text. Either way, I was hyped because I finally got my dino!

Sure it’s not the most unique thing in the world, but it’s mine and I love it. I’ve always loved dinos, and this is just so chubby and cute and cuddly :3 Of course, I’m working on getting the other colors from the rares, and I also farm bones for the eggs.

I also finally decided not to be cheap and bought myself the Jeweled panther. I can’t say I love it, I don’t think I’m gonna use it, but I had to have it cuz I’m a hoarder and mounts are my weakness. I might make a post one day showing off my babies, my rare and precious mounts.

~*~*~*~

That’s all from me today. I’ve had a very busy few weeks, and I HAVE neglected this blog, but hopefully I’ll get back to normal now.

Also, the items above might make me seem like I’m a lucky SoB, but trust me, I’m not. Considering it took 3 weeks AFTER I got all my sigils to get my staff…. Like I always say, I’m lucky for the stuff that I don’t expect. But if it’s something I actually need like some upgrade…then RNG hates my guts.

Doesn’t mean I don’t get happy every time something like this happens though they’re like rays of sunshine on a cloudy….year.

Well, was a pleasure writing for you guys again (whoever is reading!). It’s time for bed.

See you sometime this week with a new transmog + make-up!

YES I AM AWARE that I’ve been gone for weeks but I’ve barely had time to do dailies let alone compose a decent post, but today I decided to finally update with this lovely set.

So, patch came out, and it’s a blast. It has also inspired me to do a Silver Covenant/Kirin Tor Offensive outfit. So here it is, hope you enjoy doing dailies in it as much as I do! (Sorry Hordies, due to the Tabard, this would be Ally-only ) 

I’ve actually used this set in the past, it was sometime before Pandaria even came along. I just liked the tabard and I had fun planning an outfit around it, and now that the faction is relevant again, it was a perfect opportunity to implement this lovely set again!

Just a heads up: If you like this set, don’t expect it to be a quick one. The tabard takes a faction + a hell of a lot of grinding and dailies, so if you had it before hand, good. If not, well… you can find a different one, or just go without one

So as you can see, it’s all white and blue. I think this is a very lovely and priestly set, but the good thing is that all the pieces (except helm) are NOT class restricted, meaning your mage or warlock can look like a member of this faction just as well. Min. level for this set would be 80, if you want to use the Tabard, Wrists and Off-hand.

First I took a screenshot with the lovely Veressa Windrunner.

Then I visited my buddies at the Argent Tournament, and took some pics there.

I also used the Blood Elf illusion, and edited the eyes to make them blue, just to see what it would be like to play as a High elf :3 I sneaked next to a guard, and his face-turning was just perfect.

(I believe he’s wearing the Aldor Regalia aka Mage tier 4, plus this staff )

Then I went over to Crystalsong Forest, specifically the (lesser known) hub called Windrunner’s Overlook. It’s a small area full of High elves, and I don’t think it has much significance other than that. Which is a damn shame, considering it’s in a lovely zone.

Anyway, here I am.

I thought while I’m here, I might as well take screenshot of the MUST-HAVE mounts if you plan on wearing this.

Of course, the Silver Covenant Hippogryph:

As for the ground mounts, I used two. First, the Quel’Dorei steed that you get from the tournament and is supposedly the official Covenant ground mount:

But, to be honest, I’m not a fan of this mount. It’s the beard that gets me. Just kinda…creepy. SO, I found a replacement that compliments the set very, very well:

Well, that’s it for pictures. Sorry they’re kinda large this time, but hell, it’s a pretty and detailed set.

I’m currently using a staff so I had to transmog into a staff, so here are two weapon options.

RIGHT, NO MORE PICTURES. Sorry for the spam. Here’s a list of all the items:

Head: Heroes’ Crown of Faith (the only class-restricted item)

Shoulders: Pauldrons of Sufferance

Chest: Royal Blouse

Tabard: Silver Covenant Tabard (Alliance only, but you can find something pretty?)

Wrists (important!): Wristguards of Subterranean Moss

Hands: Sage’s Gloves 

Waist: Girdle of Nobility

Legs: Lifegiver Britches

Feet: None on me, BUT I can suggest Shimmering Getta?

Staff: Runed Staff (or you can use the one I mentioned above)

Dagger: Jaded Crystal Dagger

Off-hand: Urn of Lost Memories

And one more thing, a make-up look to go with this set. I didn’t have much time or planing, so this is what came out xD

It is meant to match the “blue sun” that seems to be displayed on the Tabard.

~*~*~*~*~

I know I’ve been gone for a long time, but it doesn’t mean I don’t follow you guys! I’m gonna make a RRT on Tuesday and update some stuff, and I also want to start tweeting >_> I want to keep this post transmog-only, so see you Tuesday for all the misc. stuff!

Like I mentioned earlier, I had befriended a Belf on my Draenei back in TBC and we hanged around a lot, we had fun RPing a forbidden friendship and kinda writing our own stories etc. So since then, I’ve been trying to do this: dress-up a Draenei as a Sin’Dorei. This will be the Mail/Leather version as RNG is being a betch for my Cloth set, so I’ll do that one later together with Plate.

First off, both these sets and the incoming cloth are based on the items dropped off Fenissa the Assassin. I always thought it’s a bit controversial wearing the armor of your enemy, but since this is a special occasion, why the hell not.

I imagined this to be like an outfit one would wear if they wanna visit Silvermoon, maybe the city offers tours around the city no matter your race (because it’s kinda empty eh), so you can dress-up and have fun. It’s not only the Belfs that wanna look fabulous is it?

I’m gonna feature my hunter and for the very first time, my monk! Hope you enjoy these sets, they were certainly fun to pull off.

~*~*~*~*~

Set 1: Hunter

I always liked that bow, but I never really found an occasion to wear it. It always felt Belfy to me, the golden hawk and everything, so today was finally a good time to use it. I dragged my hunter all the way to Silvermoon to make a few screenshots. Luckily I lived, one guard aggroed me several times but I managed to escape. I don’t think any players saw me, they’d probably be like …….u wot m8? But alas, I lived, and my visit to Silvermoon yielded these pictures:

While I was there I nabbed a dragonhawk to make it more realistic, as Blood Elf hunters start with one. I also managed to take a picture with my Hawkstrider in front of the Hawkstrider vendor lady, and that’s where the guards noticed me. But luckily I was on a birdie and got away. Whew!

Also in case you wanna go even further in your Sin’dorei adventure, I also took a pic of the ultimate Belf bow:

Nothing much else to say about this, and I don’t really think people read text and just wanna look at the purdy pictures, so here’s a list of the items I’m wearing:

Head: Nothing good I could find, but either way they surely don’t want to mess-up their hair

Shoulders: Battleforge Shoulderguards

Chest: Silvermoon Armor

Hands: Masterwork Gauntlets

Waist: Bloodlust Belt

Legs: Glimmering Mail Legguards

Feet: Hooves but the Glimmering boots look decent

Bows: Skyfire Hawk-Bow and Golden Bow of Quel’Thalas

That’s it for this one, enjoy ^_^

~*~*~*~*~*~

 Set 2: Monk

Yes I made my monk a Draenei. I’ve been waiting since TBC to be able to wear leather as a Draenei and it finally happened. So yeah, I’m really enjoying mogging her, finally able to use all those gorgeous leather pieces.

Well, my monk was a bit low so I didn’t wanna risk taking her to Silvermoon, so I took her to the next best place: Quel’Danas. All the architecture is blood elf anyway, and I was able to find the golden hawk symbol on some boat and took a pic of it with me.  So, this was what happened:

It was very fun BUT VERY EXPENSIVE to make this set. Those damn legs! Also finding all those items that match and look blood elf-y, but hey, I’m a dedicated mogger and nothing is too much for my babies. Anyway, items:

Head: Terokk’s Mask

Shoulders: Bonechewer Shoulderguards

Chest: Silvermoon Tunic

Shirt: Red Linen Shirt

Hands: Bonechewer Spikegloves

Waist: Blasguard Belt

Legs: Blastguard Pants

Boots: Bonechewer Shredboots

Staff: Frenzied Staff

Boomroasted.

~*~*~*~*~

Just for some extra flavor, here they are with green eyes ^_^

I’ll try to finish my cloth set next week. This week RNG just hated me for the items I needed, and since they’re from mostly raids, it will be a pain. BUT FEAR NOT FOR IT SHALL COME.

I’m also stuck on what to do with plate as Fenissa doesn’t drop any plate because of the low level zone, so I might just improvise. We shall see.

OH WHAT’S THAT? YES, MAKE-UP.

Inspired by the Silvermoon crest, this is what happened:

Lots of love,

Sam.

OKAY OKAY I’m a day late but hey, shift happens.

Today I wanna show you my bank alt/RP char, Cupcake Whippycream. Now, I admit, I don’t really know anything about RPing since I spent like 6 years on a PvE server. But, I had this idea of RPing just common people in the world, and not always A MIGHTY HERO WITH 3 SCARS ON HIS LEFT EYE FROM SOME IMPORTANT BATTLE, but decided to RP something simple: a baker. Thus, this char was born, and <Little Bakery> was created. 

This isn’t a transmog by the way, it’s just my banklet. She is a baker, sells baked goods, has a small bio, and it’s just a load of fun to play.

(Cupcake was unavailable, went for the next best thing. Moar-language-kinda thing)

I was just determined to obtain the Chef’s hat, and I did. It took 100 days of the same dailies over and over, BUT I DID IT. Best day of Cupcakes’ life. This outfit is meant to be very bright and fun, just colors you’d see on cupcakes (which I adore and bake all the time), so I made her just pink, blue and yellow.

She was also featured in my Bank alts entry!

I’m not really going to do a full item list, as what she’s wearing is a shirt with my guild logo. And I don’t think everyone can just turn their guild logo into a cupcake, unless it’s your banklet and you own a guild, in that case, DO IT.

So yeah. Basically what I do every time I wanna have some fun, is walk around either Stormwind or any nice city where there’s roleplayers, and I just yell out that I’m selling baked goods. It has a very positive feedback, people usually say it’s the cutest thing ever. I don’t take money from them unless they insist, but it’s just loads of fun and I’ve made great friends that way. So, if you see me around, THAT’S ME! Come say hi!

Now, for misc:

If you’re on a RP server than you know MRP and GHI are THE addons to have. Thanks to them, I was able to write up a short (and unexperienced xd) biography of the little Cupcake Whippycream.

And thanks to GHI, I was able to create the cutest little menu ever.

And of course, that’s what’s in my bags at all times. This is what my backpack looks like:

And, I wanted to make it more realistic, so I decided to take my Blue clockwork rocket bot and rename it into Fridge-A-tron. So yes, my pet acts like my refrigerator, giving more realism to all the stuff I’m carrying.

Fine, I’ll list the items since I’m nice like that

Chef’s Hat, Tailored Officer’s shirt, Daltry’s Belt, Azure Silk Pants, Headhunter’s Slippers.

Weps and offhands:

Cookie’s Tenderizer, Furbolg Medicine Pouch, Red Wine Glass, Mystic Tome.

Yes, this requires quite a lot of work and some leveling, but hell if it’s not fun.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

And now, for BWT (Best weekly transmogs). I decided to gray out the background for my entries from now on, as that makes the player come more into focus and you’re not distracted by random background items and players. Here are some of this week’s people I managed to snap around Azeroth (in no particular order):

And my favorite for the week:~*~*~*~*~*~

 That’s it for today. Sorry it got delayed a day, but eh. I have much to rant about, but I wanna be positive this time. And the biggest positive thing this week have been you guys! My few but awesome readers

I have some self-issues, so to be acknowledged and the fact that you guys actually liked my art and make-up has been just very amazing and inspirational. Thank you all very much

Have a wonderful day/night!
