Silly me, what was I thinking asking myself if going questing to get a new pair of boots was a worthwhile use of my playtime because it “didn’t advance my ‘primary’ objectives”?
Transmogrification is one of my major game activities — as this semi-regular series of posts on my blog attests! — so doing something to collect new items to Mog with is always a good use of my playtime!
Here’s the plate outfit I was working on that initially prompted me to go after the Nazmani Warplate boots:
Rage Totem
Drake Talon Pauldrons, Ancestral Chieftain’s Armor & Greatbelt, Brutish Legguards, Gauntlets of the Immovable, Nazmani Warplate Treads, Antiseptic-Soaked Dressing, Ancestral Chieftain’s Totem, Kadrak’s Axe
Apparently I like the Ancestral Chieftain’s chestpiece more than I initially thought — at least for my Warrior. I think I might be happy to leave her in this kit for quite a while.
Seriously, whomever thought of using the cloak slot for a Tauren totem is brilliant and deserves all kinds of kudos (or kodos, as the case may be?).
Grim Totem
Reaver Epaulets, Drakescale Breastplate, Foundry-Fired Plate Girdle, Direwing Legguards, Boneclenched Gauntlets, Ribsteel Footguards, Ancestral Chieftain’s Totem, Warmongering Combatant’s Slicer
Once, this was my tribe…
(and she’d still wear the arm paint, though not the face paint, if that option becomes available in Shadowlands)
As she was the one to actually acquire the Nazmani Warplate boots, my Paladin wanted to make an outfit with them, too:
Sunwalker’s Warplate
Drake Talon Pauldrons, Plate of the Shaman King, Ogre Beater’s Belt, Legguards of the Fallen Crusader, Nazmani Warplate Gauntlets, Nazmani Warplate Treads, Warsword of the Ebon Blade, Skyhold Bulwark
Alas, the Grunt’s Plate items that match the chestpiece — and make up the outfit worn by Aponi Brightmane and Sunwalker Saern — are common quality (non-Moggable).
Because the shield comes from the Warrior Class Hall and the sword comes from the Death Knight Class Hall, this is an outfit I couldn’t have made if I hadn’t had a character of every Class at level 110 during Legion.
Having made a kit with the red versions of this sword & shield, naturally I then wanted to make a kit with the blue versions — and my Dwarf Paladin had been feeling like she needed a change.
Redeemer’s Promise
Pauldrons of the Promise, Redeemer’s Plate, Stormwind Belt, Flamewaker Legplates, Fierce Gladiator’s Scaled Gauntlets & Sabatons, Blade of the Silver Hand, Steelforged Shield (stage 3)
I’m rather fond of the contrast between the fancy gloves & boots and the very utilitarian design of the chestpiece and leggings (and the plainer design of the rest of the items, too).
Winter Veil having arrived, Kaelyla needed a Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater outfit; and the other Major Mages wanted Winter Veil kits, too.
Gaudy Cookie Baker
Finely-Tailored Green Holiday Hat, Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater, Keyton’s Sash, Fuzzy Legwarmers, Fel-Infused Boots, Apron, Mystic Riverpaw Wand, Rolling Pin
Hurrah for loosening of Transmogrification restrictions, so that this fun flavor off-hand item can now be Mogged!
Winter Veil Ballgown
Finely-Tailored Green Holiday Hat, Slime-Encrusted Pads, Simple Robe, Shimmering Sash, Rotting Handwraps + Dryad’s Wrist Bindings, Kafa Silk Treads, Green Linen Shirt, Drape of the Refreshing Winds, Binding Staff
This mostly solid red robe seemed like a good starting point for a holiday outfit. The ensemble wasn’t quite finished until I found the cape, though — its red, green, and gold felt perfectly festive, and the deep brown keeps it from being overly gaudy. I chose this simple staff because the spherical shape and white color of the crystal suggested a snowball — and the white color also brings the amount of white in the overall ensemble into balance.
Ye Merry Gentlefolk
Finely-Tailored Green Holiday Hat, Swoop-Tail Shoulders, Councillor’s Tunic, Captain Sanders’ Sash, Willow Pants, Saltarello Shoes, Sawbones Shirt*, Drape of the Loyal Vassal, Stoneguard, Lantern of Hope
I wanted to make a holiday outfit with this vest, using trousers. It occurred to me that the colors and design of this cloak were quite festive, and I really liked how it looked with these shoulders.
Finally, a couple of Druid things, because I’ve done them and they need to be catalogued like everything else.
Preened Feathers
Preened Tribal War Feathers, Preened Ironfeather Shoulders, Preened Ironfeather Breastplate, Preened Wildfeather Leggings, Nimble Leather Gloves, Swashbuckler’s Boots, Staff of Orgrimmar*
This hardly counts as a Mog at all because half of it is just the default appearances of the Intellect leather Heirloom items — but I am rather pleased with how I’ve found some gloves and boots that complement the pants so nicely.
Why are the Heirloom pants not the same color as the Heirloom shoulders and chestpiece? I suppose we will never know — but it does make wearing them un-Mogged look a bit odd.
Here’s a caster variation on the Ancestral Ghostwalker set that I showed an installment or two ago, with Twin’s Pact as the weapon.
These pictures will just be appended to the existing entry for this outfit.

This series of posts began because I set myself a goal to document new Transmogrification outfits in a more timely fashion. As soon as I create a new outfit, I write it up in a draft post. As the weekend approaches, I start working on taking fashion screenshots, processing them, and updating “Things my [Class] Wears” posts. On Sunday — though not every Sunday — I publish the collection of my recent efforts. Then I begin the next “Sunday on the Promenade” draft post.
Occasionally, I have ideas for themed Transmogrification collections that take several months to completely assemble. Thus, some of these outfits might get re-posted at a later date as part of such a themed Transmogrification collection.
