A collection of Transmogrification Kits actually worn in-game by my Blood Elf Mage. Outfits are listed from most recent to least recent. Items that are no longer obtainable are marked with an asterisk (*).
120) Murex and Oxxein
Warmongering Gladiator’s Silk Cowl, Initiate’s Necromantle Shoulders & Vestments, Hexweave Belt (stage 1), Elder’s Gloves & Boots, Death Fetish, Staff of Beasts
I initially liked the concept of this Necrolords backpiece as “Soul Shards” for my Warlock. This color, which matches the oxxein ore of Maldraxxus, is probably the only one of the four which I will obtain. Two of the other three are rewards from the Abomination Factory, an activity which I have no interest in doing, and the last is a drop from a tricksy rare spawn.
Murex is the genus of sea snails that produce the dye known as Tyrian purple — which is actually a red-violet rather than this bluish-violet, but I liked how the “x”s in the names went together.
119) Plagues and Poisons
Fel-Proof Goggles, Shawl of the Penitent (LFR), Barbarous Osteowings, Robes of the Cursed Commando (LFR), Twisted Sisters Handwraps, Slippers of the Forgotten Heretic (LFR), Journey’s End/Staff of the Plague Beast
Journey’s End matches the color of the robe so nicely, but Staff of the Plague Beast makes the overall ensemble look better — and works for a thematic naming motif, too.
118) Honorbound Wizard
Darckli’s Dragonfire Diadem, Honorbound Artificer’s Amice & Robes, Fearless Gladiator’s Silk Cord, Slippers of the Forgotten Heretic (LFR), Argent Conscript’s Drape (H), Bloodfire Greatstaff
More loyal to The Horde as an organization than many of my other characters, Kateleina’s ambition, might, insight, guile, and relentless desire for the success of those to whom she gives her loyalty make her an ideal candidate for the Necrolords.
117) Sin’Venthyr IV
Court Inquisitor’s Hood & Robes, Sin’dorei Pauldrons Belt & Slippers, Cuffs of Unrelenting Anguish, Fine Crimson Cloak, Golden Staff of the Sin’dorei
The wraps around the forearms are part of the Court Inquisitor’s Robes. These lovely Legion bracers dress them up even more nicely than the set bracers do.
116) Inquisitor At Court
Court Inquisitor’s Vestments with Hidden Shoulders & Cloak, Cord of Unhinged Malice (H) and Avowed Arcanist’s Staff
This set does come with shoulders — though I think they look better with the trousers outfit — and also looks quite smashing with a variety of other red and gold shoulders. For a ball, though, the shoulders really should just be bare. I’m not a great fan of the wiggly belt of the set itself; for cloth-wearers, this Hellfire Citadel piece substitutes quite nicely.
115) Crooked Soulbreaker
Soulbreaker’s Ebony Vestments with Hat of the Youngest Sister, Repression Belt, Noble’s Fancy Boots, Waycrest Guard’s Cloak, and Damnation
I had intended to do another iteration of the Sin’Venthyr concept next, but then it was Hallow’s End and I thought that one of the Crooked Tree hats might look good with the Campaign coloration of the Venthyr cloth gear.
114) Sin’Venthyr III
Harvester’s Court Attire with Sin’dorei Pauldrons Gauntlets & Cloak and Rod of the Blazing Light
The Harvester’s Court boots are just the bulky gold-trimmed boots I’ve been wanting to go with the bulky gold-trimmed gloves of the Sin’dorei Heritage Armor.
113) Harvester At Court
Harvester’s Court Attire with Arcanoshatter Mantle (H), Hidden Belt, and Gilded Sineater’s Staff
This set has no shoulders of its own. In addition to the shoulders shown here, it also looks fabulous with:
the Court Inquisitor’s Mantle, Soulbreaker’s Crimson Mantle,
Shoulderpads of Knowledge’s Pursuit, Mantle of the Elven Kings, and Duskhallow Mantle.
112) Noblesse Oblige
Chief Architect’s Monocle, Duskhallow Mantle, Nobleman’s Coat & Pantaloons, Black Mageweave Gloves, Slippers of the Forgotten Heretic (LFR), Parrotfeather Cloak, Suen-Wo (LFR)
Although I seem to recall reading somewhere that the blood magic Anima of the Mogu is not the same thing as the Anima of the Shadowlands, Suen-Wo still makes a great weapon for a Venthyr-themed outfit.
I originally designed this ensemble with the monocle, but it also looks great with
the Duskhaven Top Hat or the LFR Crown of the Seducer.
111) Municipal Functionary
Tasteful Eyeglasses, Mystical Armor/High Councillor’s Tunic, Dreamer’s Belt, Darkweave Breeches, High Councillor’s Boots, Formal White Shirt, Ancient Measuring Rod + Bureaucrat’s Handbook/Befouled Staff
This handsome fellow is Kaelinda’s “special someone”, Ianestin. Less adventurous than Kaelinda, he works in the Silvermoon City Ministry of Finance and pursues esoteric mathemagical research on the side. He has previously appeared, uncredited, as a male model for Kaelinda’s outfits 92, 88, and 72. This outfit is the in-game kit that I was imagining when I drew Kaelinda and Ianestin here and here, except for the boots, which are more like the leather Slippers of the Unruly Fairies in my drawings. The items in the wand + off-hand version of the kit were chosen not for their coordination with the rest of the ensemble but rather for the RP value of their names!
In the top row of pictures, the haircut & facial hair in the left picture are closest to how I have drawn Ianestin; they are apparently the default male Sin’dorei appearance in my brain. The haircut & facial hair in the middle picture are the result of using a Transmorphic Tincture on Kaelinda’s appearance; the haircut is serendipitously the same as Fabulor‘s hairdo (though not his facial hair), which makes it the epitome of fashionable male Sin’dorei grooming. The haircut & facial hair in the right picture are the appearance he chose after Sin’dorei men got new grooming options in Patch 9.0.
This one’s for you, Fabulor.
