After 42 runs of Theramore’s Fall, 4 Squallshaper’s Hats, 2 Rok’nah Hag’s Hats, 4 Archmage’s Staffs, 3 Staffs of the Faithful, 2 Everlasting Alliance Fireworks, and 135 regular Alliance Fireworks, Kinevra finally obtained the Theramore Arcanist’s Hat.
I have coveted this white wizard hat, which is worn by several NPCs (mostly Inscription trainers), for a long time. Now, it takes on a more poignant meaning.
Theramore Arcanist’s Hat*, Vicious Embersilk shoulders & belt, Astral Knot Robe*, Gandling’s Gloves, Shimmering/Ivycloth Boots, Cloak of the Faith*, Archmage’s Staff*, Theramore Tabard*
The Astral Knot Robe was awarded from a pre-Cataclysm Mage Class quest. The Aurora, Gossamer, Spiritmend, and Vicious Embersilk robes would all be adequate substitutes. There are many good white capes, such as the Silky Spider Cape.
I have added some further thoughts on Theramore’s Fall to my previous post on the subject.
~*~*~
When Kinevra received a summons to Stormwind Keep requesting “a trustworthy and proven hero for a mission of the utmost importance”, she knew she had to look her best! Thanks to the Alliance controlling Wintergrasp for most of her time in Northrend, she’d accumulated enough Honor Points while in the dungeons there to purchase a Knight-Captain’s Silk Tunic.
She was very disappointed to discover that “the appearance of that item cannot be used” for Transmogrification. So she had come up with something different, but she tried to make it as similar as possible. She was glad that she’d made the effort to look good when the “mission of utmost importance” turned out to be assisting the Prince!
Feline Mantle, Whispering Tunic, Bridenbrad’s Sash, Simple Kilt, Gandling’s Gloves, Slippers of the Twilight Prophet, Stormwind doublet & cloak
She’s only 3 or 4 years older than he is — close enough in age to have had the sort of daydreaming crush on him that all young girls tend to have on princes… Poor Kinevra, she really fell hard for Anduin during that one short day — he was so kind, and so smart, and so good looking! sigh…
The dress you have for Kinerva is beautiful with the white wizard hat! That is some amazing dedication you had to run the scenario that many times to get it
I shared your disappointment over the Knight-Captain’s pieces the very first day transmog was out. The purple set for mages is my absolute favorite gear in the game. I hear you can still get the titles to buy the replica (transmogable) gear in Netherstorm, but I believe it requires doing rated battlegrounds. Unfortunately I doubt I will ever have that kind of dedication to PVP, lol.
Thank you! This Mage Class quest reward robe is precisely the one I’ve wanted to wear with the white wizard hat for all these years.
Not being a PvPer at all myself, I won’t ever get the Replica versions of the Knight-Captain’s gear, but I’m still glad that Wintergrasp allows me to get the Tunic versions for RP wear even without actively doing PvP!
Oh my, Kinevra and Anduin look perfect together. And you deserve that hat after 42 runs! Grats!
Aww, thanks!
I’d seen a comment on Wowhead that a Mage had gotten the white hat after 37 tries, so I figured that if I ran the scenario 50 times, I’d probably get it. If I’d gotten to 50 tries and still not gotten the white hat, I would been a bit upset, but I would have doggedly kept trying. If I hadn’t gotten the white hat by the time Mists went live, though, I think I would have cried!
Grats! I’m glad you finally got the hat. It was also the last one I needed for my Theramore sets. They all look great
The shoulders in the top set seem to be a popular choice btwn yours, mine and Draynee
Thanks!
I noticed that trend with the Vicious Embersilk shoulders myself
I tried the Spiritmend shoulders and belt, and they were okay, but I like the Vicious Embersilk ones better because they are a little brighter and thus go better with the tabard. I also think the Vicious Embersilk shoulders are something of a natural choice because the Vicious Embersilk hat is so close (and yet so far away) to the Theramore Arcanist’s Hat.
Conga rats on the hat!
I just did the Twilight Highlands lead in with Anduin (who magically appears out of nowhere!) for the first time. I generally think of Nir as someone in her late twenties/early thirties, so while he’s too young for her to crush on (she’s a Very Proper Lady), she definitely went “D’awww!”
I mean, the kid had a horse! And a gryphon! He was totally prepared! (This is not normally something “cute,” I suppose, but Nir is impressed by people who plan ahead.)
Also, the way he would /shrug when she chewed out poor dock workers was really adorable.
Thanks!
I’d noticed that Anduin wasn’t in the throne room anymore before I did the quest, so I wasn’t all that surprised when he appeared out of thin air. I’ve been meaning to check if he’s hanging out with Velen in the Exodar, but haven’t quite gotten around to doing it just yet.
I know! I was so impressed by Anduin during that questline
Grats on the hat! Wow that’s a lot of runs
TY! It was a lot! I was starting to get quite tired of the scenario, which made me feel kind of sad in an odd sort of way.
I love that set you put together with the tabard! Lol I can’t believe how many scenario runs you had to do
Thank you! It was a lot of runs for sure, but I wasn’t really surprised that the hat had a low drop rate for Mages because it has +Spi on it. I was afraid, when I first realized that it was a +Spi hat, that I might not be able to get it at all!
I’m so jealous your Theramore Arcanist’s Hat looks amazing.
I never got it to drop for me, Gratz!
It is an amazing hat. I’m sorry that you didn’t get it
