Were you lucky (or just persistent) enough to get an Alanna’s Embrace before the patch?
Fortunately, my two characters who most wanted this gorgeous gown were both capable of farming it for themselves.
Princess Alanna (Draenei): Aurora Mantle, Dawnspire Cord, Jumanza Grips, Featherskin Cape, Pink Mageweave Shirt
Magistrix Alanna (Blood Elf): Hood of the Arcane Path/Royal Wizard, Orchid Amice, Magister’s Belt, Jumanza Grips, Shimmering Boots, Formal White Shirt, Pilfered Ethereal Blade
I also like the appearance of these outfits with the Sleeveless T-Shirt or the Lavender Mageweave Shirt.
The Orchid Amice was awarded from a quest that disappeared in the Shattering. The Mystical Mantle would be a suitable alternate.

The Aldori Legacy Defender (which I always mis-remember as dropping from Magtheridon when it really drops from Gruul) is a classic Draenei Warrior/Paladin tanking shield. Kamalia picked one up in a fun run some months ago, and the other night while I was talking to Vidyala about Shaman fashion, it occurred to me that it might be fun to try to make her a “wannabe Draenei” Shaman set to go with this shield.
Of course, the true test of whether or not my set successfully pulls off the “wannabe Draenei” concept is to actually put it on a Draenei and see if it still looks good. Draynee is the expert on that, but I hope she’ll agree that this set is, indeed, pretty fly.
Headdress of the Tides, Hateful Gladiator’s Ringmail Spaulders, Steadfast Breastplate, Stillwater Girdle, Scaled Greaves of Patience, Skettis gloves & boots, Scepter of Power, Aldori Legacy Defender
But will I actually ever make this set for Kamalia? I don’t know. I’m working on assembling for her one of the Competitor’s Tabard sets I designed a couple weeks ago, and I think that set, minus the tabard, might also work well with this shield — it would play off the gold and glowing parts of its appearance, rather than the purple. I’m not having much luck with the AH, though, so perhaps the Competitor’s Tabard and the Aldori Legacy Defender both will simply continue to gather dust in Kamalia’s bank.
Oh man, that does look good… and yes it certainly looks good on a draenei with the blue skin tones… my current main is a draenei shaman… I have some of those bits already, although I don’t have the shield. Nonetheless, this is inspiring!
Thank you thank you! I hope to see your spin on this outfit after you’ve collected all the pieces you want for it!
Oh nicely done and I’m glad you managed to get that gorgeous dress on both toons. I must say that other set screams Draenei and does look pretty fly
Thanks! I was starting to get really, really, really tired of Scholomance by the time it finally dropped for Kaelinda!
I’m glad the purple mail set looks Draenic to someone else, too
Heehee! I’m no expert, just mildly obsessed
That outfit is definitely fly! I really like those shoulders, I can’t say I’ve ever seen them be used. I also really like the belt you used on the Draenei in Alanna’s embrace. It picks up the green jewels in the dress, a great alternative to that pvp chain belt.
Thanks! I’m glad you like it! I was a little surprised by those shoulders, too — in the past, I haven’t much liked that style, but they were just right for ths outfit.
I’m finding that the Dawnspire Cord is very useful! I need to make sure to run Sunken Temple with my other clothies so they can pick it up, too. PvP and I don’t get along very well — the two BGs it takes to get 55 Honor for the Dryad’s Wrist Bindings are about all I can tolerate at any given time — so getting that gold mesh belt will likely have to wait until I can trade in JPs for it
Glad you got it! I love Alannah’s embrace though I have nobody to mog it on really. Yay! And the set is great on your draenei.. it seems a little too draenei for your tauren (maybe I’m just weird like that)
Thanks! Haha, that’s the effect I was going for with the purple mail set
