Following Kirina’s lead, there will be two of these — one of seasonal outfits, and one of costumes.
Kivrinne has been looking forward to Hallow’s End so that she could dress up and do her hair!
Robes of Arugal, Ghostly Mantle, Noble’s Monocle, Black Rose, “The Bride” hairstyle.
Something I’d like to see for Hallow’s End is “Funny Wigs”. Like the “Flimsy Masks”, these would be limited duration headpieces obtained by Trick-or-Treating. When worn, they’d change your hairstyle into a black-with-white-streak version of The Bride Undead female haircut, or a rainbow curly clown wig, or a bright pink Gnomish male mohawk, or some other wild & crazy hairstyle.
Kirina’s Hallow’s End outfits showcased black dresses with orange shirts; here’s an orange robe with a black shirt.
The Silksand robes are the same as those worn by female Tauren, Orc, and Troll Commoners during this holiday. I chose the Orange Martial Shirt for the rich black color of its sleeves and because the orange on the sides nicely fills in the gaps in the robe. The gold trim on the sleeves complements the belt of the robe. The purple or green Martial Shirts would also create a nice seasonally appropriate effect. Topping it all off, the Skywitch Hat.
I wanted to make an outfit using the Warchief Kilt, which looks like the skirt of the Silksand robes, paired with the dark brown & red-orange Embersilk Tunic. Alas, I couldn’t find the tunic on the AH at all in the past few weeks. Kiki’s outfit has some of the same general aesthetic I was going for with that idea, though.
Orange Mageweave Shirt, Banshee Vest, Captain Sander’s Sash, Red Silk Trousers, Buccaneer’s Boots
The Banshee Vest and Red Silk Trousers are low-level Horde quest rewards. Other options for the black vest include the Ritual Tunic (cloth), Prospector’s Chestpiece (leather), or, for a higher-level character, the Black Mageweave Vest. A lookalike for the pants is the Woven Pants available from vendors.
Kregga pretends to be a Tauren Warlock
Twilight Cultist Robe & Mantle, Orange Mageweave Shirt, Revenant belt & gloves, and Skywitch Hat. The “staff” is the Highborne Star, an off-hand frill. The inset shows the Embersilk Mitts as an alternative for the gloves.
Dance with Catrina to celebrate the Day of the Dead after Hallow’s End is over.
Death Speaker Robes, the Haliscan Brimmed Hat, and Orange Marigolds. The cloak is Illskar’s Greatcloak, a Northrend quest reward and part of Kregga’s PvE kit which I kept on because its rich orange color matched the rest of the outfit.
I never intended to raid with Kregga, so after she reached 80 she stayed in Northrend only long enough to become a Champion of Thunder Bluff at the Argent Tournament and get Exalted with the Knights of the Ebon Blade before returning to Thunder Bluff to relieve Keija of banking duties. Thus, when I took Kregga to the Headless Horseman battle hoping to get the Horseman’s Horrific Helm for her as an RP item, it turned out to be a big upgrade for her questing gear…. It actually looks pretty good with the dark tones of her Northrend blues & greens PvE kit, but I designed a few RP sets around it anyway.
Evil Pumpkin King (plate): Horseman’s Helm, Kraken shoulders, Fel Iron Breastplate
The top version uses the full Fel Iron Plate set: breastplate, belt, pants, gloves, and boots.
The lower left version exchanges the belt for the Emerald Girdle and the gloves and boots for the leather Bandit’s items. The lower right version adds more black with the Tuxedo Pants and Warmonger’s cape.
The shirts are the Rustic Workman’s Shirt and the Orange Martial Shirt. The Green Martial Shirt would also be a good choice.
I didn’t manage to get the Horseman’s Blade, so I am using the Haunted Blade, which looks very similar (and would look more similar if I put a Firey enchant on it).
Evil Pumpkin Queen (cloth): Hallowed Helm, Terrorcloth Mantle, Beastmaster’s Robe, Councillor’s Sash, Warmonger’s cape, Hameya’s Slayer
Tricks and Treats under the cut!
Thistlefur Cap/Nightsky Cowl, Chief Brigadier Cloak, Black Velvet Robe, Tattered Dreadmist Mantle
Watcher’s Cap, Ivycloth/Shimmering Robe
Tell me more about this Headless Horseman who has been terrorizing the village. What can I do to help?
Ill again? Maybe you should have the doctor test you for a seasonal allergy.
I wonder… if a Worgen dances in Human form, do they do the Human dance or the Worgen dance? I hope it’s the Human, otherwise my Worgen will not be doing any dancing at all… not even for marzipan!
I really love the Shimmering Robe with the Watcher’s Cap outfit. I’ll remember that for Merlaina ^_^
Great post!
