Love is in the Air again, meaning it’s time to Crush the Crown to prevent them from permanently polluting the populace with their pernicious perfumes. Here are some Transmogrification kits that will let you go smoothly from smacking around those undead mooks to a romantic picnic or canal boat ride.
A Formal Affair
Alabaster Plate Pauldrons, Gilded Crimson Chestplate, Bloodscale belt gloves & boots, Flintlocke’s Piloting Pants, Runed Soulblade, Wound Dressing
Every plate-wearing woman who is at or above level 60 should own a Bloodscale Belt. Kaumalea is theoretically a pseudo-Ironman, but I’d bought a Bloodscale Belt for her anyway, and I just couldn’t let Love is in the Air pass by without allowing her to wear it.
The black pants and white shoulders give this ensemble an elegant air and also make it highly appropriate for a male character.
Soft-Hearted Fighter
Embossed Plate Pauldrons, Ursa’s Embrace, Bloodscale belt gloves & boots, Leggings of the Ursa, Lantresor’s Warblade, Scout’s Tabard
I’ve been fond of the combination of orange and pink for many years. I’m quite pleased with this outfit, but if you don’t like it, that’s okay.
Sealed with a Kiss
Runic Plate Shoulders, Bloodscale chestpiece belt gloves & boots, High Chief’s Legguards, Mageflame Cloak, Shield of Comrades*/Embossed Plate Shield, Rubidium Hammer
Someday, perhaps, I will obtain the Blood-Stained Pauldrons to wear with this set. Until then, the Runic Plate Shoulders will do. I’m delighted by how nicely the High Chief’s Legguards coordinate with the Bloodscale items — they’re just the right shade of purple.
Red-Hot Romance
Commander’s pauldrons/Tyrant’s Epaulets, Andrethan’s Masterwork, Commander’s/Bloodforged leggings, Bloodscale belt gloves & boots, Massacre Sword, Sawbones Shirt*
Kregga was all set to wear the outfit on the left for Love is in the Air this year, but then I saw Mechalis’s paladin wearing the variant on the right, and it was so yummy that I just had to yoink it. I hope she doesn’t mind too much… ๐
In the left-hand image, I had merely equipped the Massacre Sword for the purpose of the picture itself; in the right-hand image, it glows with a runeforging because I’d actually Transmogrified it over Kregga’s current quest-set 2H sword.
Dawnrise
Brigade pauldrons gloves & boots, Engraved chestpiece & girdle, Triumphant Legplates, Lightning Dagger, Shield of the Wayward Footman, Jeweled Fishing Pole
Love is in the Air seemed like an appropriate time to debut this pink-toned outfit designed to coordinate with the Ashes of Al’ar and partially inspired by Euphyley’s beautiful Sunset Mail set (the cloth, leather, and plate designs in the rest of the series are gorgeous, too!).
Why, oh why, are there no Pink Mageweave Shirts on my AH during Love is in the Air? Something is wrong here.
Brigade Champion
Champion Herod’s Shoulder, Brigade breastplate belt & boots, Fort Livingston Legguards, Scarlet Gauntlets*
If you don’t have the Scarlet Gauntlets, use the Merciless gloves and boots.
Mystic Devotion
Headband of the Coiled Serpent/Adventurer’s Bandana, Bonechewer Shoulderguards, Wolf Rider’s Padded Armor, Red Belt of Gentle Persuasion, Mystic Sarong, Blacksting Gloves
Other leather-wearing classes will probably want to use the Burning Blade Devotee’s Cinch.
Although Wowhead no longer lists the Mystic Sarong as being part of his inventory, I indeed obtained this Mystic Sarong post-Patch 5.0 by camping the Dark Iron Entrepreneur in Arathi Highlands.
Heart’s Blood
Cutthroat’s Mantle, Wolf Rider’s Padded Armor, Bard’s belt pants gloves & boots
On another character, I might use a Pink Mageweave Shirt with this set, but with her pure white fur, I didn’t think Kaiuna needed it.
Nordrassil Nymph
Nordrassil Wrath-Mantle, Big Voodoo Robe, Sentinel Girdle, Runic Leather Gauntlets, Lavender Mageweave Shirt
To me, decorating for Valentine’s Day is all about the red-pink-white scale. But Zazzy’s druid is so cute and looks so almost-pink in the T6 shoulders and 25s-T8 chestpiece that I could let Kerisa get away with wearing lavender for Love is in the Air.
Adorable Aborigine
Lunar Mantle, Aboriginal Robe, Wise Man’s Belt, Heavy Linen Gloves + Seer’s Cuffs, Cerulean Filigreed Shirt
I originally wanted to use the Feline Mantle for this set. Sadly, it didn’t drop when Kaohana went to SFK to get her level 20 class quest weapon, and she is currently too high level to queue for SFK and too low level to solo it.
Buccaneer’s Sweetheart
Admiral’s Hat, Aurora shoulders, Buccaneer’s Robe, Apothecary’s Waistband, Rotting Handwraps + Imported Bracers, Cloak of Courage, Pink Mageweave Shirt
The Bloodsail Admiral’s Hat would make this a completely red-pink-white ensemble, but I’ve never particularly felt like destroying and then having to rebuild my Steamwheedle Cartel rep. The First Mate Hat would also be great with this outfit.
For additional ideas, take a look at the “Pretty in Pink” Transmogrification kits I posted last October.
As always great job on all the sets. I love your Dawnrise (esp the shield) and Buccaneer the most. I think it’s a clothie thing ๐
Thanks!
I’m very happy with how the Dawnrise set turned out. I’ve been thinking about how I might put that outfit together ever since I won the Ashes of Al’ar.
I took pictures of the Buccaneer’s Robe set, but when I visited the Warpweaver, I Transmogrified Kaohana’s quest gear into the Aboriginal Robe set. I’m planning to have her use something very similar to the Buccaneer’s Robe set, only with the blue Journeyman’s Robe, around the Midsummer Fire Festival as a “red white and blue” outfit.
Yes, I totally need that shield! Van wants to dress in pink.
I love the aborigine, too. The color looks so good on her. ๐
Pink Paladins are awesome! Best of luck with getting the shield ๐
Thank you thank you!
I don’t know how you put together so many wonderful looks each holiday! I really like the Adorable Aborigine, it almost looks like the Cerulean Shirt is a blazer, awesome! ๐
Heh, well, I just sit down with my roster, go through my characters one by one, look at what they have in their banks, what’s available (for a reasonable price) on the AH, and what could be quickly & easily obtained by questing (by which I mean, a chain of five or fewer quests in a zone that is well below their current character level), and decide if I can make a holiday-appropriate outfit for that character or not. With so many characters, sometimes it’s kind of a chore — which is why I ignored all my non-Tauren characters for this go-round.
The Aboriginal Robe is such a nice pink color that I just had to use it, but I always like to wear that style of robe with a shirt. I’m so happy that there’s the Cerulean Filigreed Shirt to match the turquoise accents on the robe!
“it almost looks like the Cerulean Shirt is a blazer”
Heh, now that you mention it, I see it, too — it does rather look like a light blue blazer with fancy patterned lapels! ๐
So many great mogs in so many different styles. I think the Heartโs Blood and the Buccaneerโs Sweetheart are my favorites. ๐
Thank you very much! ๐
Some guy bought up all the Bloodscale belts on the WRA AH and was selling them all at a price Violaryn couldn’t afford. /sob Otherwise I totally would’ve used the same belt you did.
Boo, BOOO! Poor Violaryn! I hope you can pick up one at a better price later in the year.
What brilliant sets! I like Heartsblood because I have all those items! Yay, something I can make! And AdorableAborigine is really cool too ๐
Hurrah for an outfit you, too, can make! ๐
Everything looks great!
I love that Buccaneerโs Sweetheart screenshot!
TY ๐
That Buccaneer’s Sweetheart does seem to be a favorite! I’d love to see someone do it “for real” with the Bloodsail Admiral’s Hat.
