A collection of Transmogrification Kits actually worn in-game by my Tauren Priest. Outfits are listed from most recent to least recent. Items that are no longer obtainable are marked with an asterisk (*).
40) Touch of Ruby
Rhinestone Sunglasses, Aurora Mantle, Mankrik’s Old Wedding Garments, Silver-Thread Sash, Stoneweaver Leggings, Widow’s Clutches + Bands of Indwelling, Boots of the Incorrupt, Thousand Bandage Drape, Staff of Divine Infusion
Sometime during the first half of 2015, I found a pair of Rhinestone Sunglasses on the AH for the surprisingly reasonable price of 500 gold.
I’m very happy with how this kit turned out. It’s definitely worth the months I spent farming Karazhan while Shade of Aran kept dropping the boots that match the T4 Warlock set instead of these boots that match the T4 Priest set…
I’m not sure how well this kit would work for races that wear normal shoes, though, as the foot part of these boots is a somewhat bluer purple than even the darkest magenta tones of the cloak.
We all know that the Exodar is a disco (right?), but Shu’halo are not exactly welcome there, so I boogied down in the Shattrath Residential District instead.
39) Greenwillow
Greenweave Mantle Leggings Gloves & Cloak, Ivycloth Tunic, Willow Belt & Boots, Green Linen Bracers, Lesser Mystic Wand, Simple Branch
This off-hand is the same model as many low level wands, thus enabling a character to appear as if they are dual-wielding wands.
Once upon a time, the Hallowed Helm was introduced as a cloth item so that everyone could wear it. Nowadays, I think that it really ought to be upgraded to a Cosmetic item so that everyone can Mog it. Using a Weighted Jack-o’-Lantern gives the same effect, albeit only temporarily.
The alt character Kazithra didn’t last much longer after I made this outfit, however, as I lost any interest I might have had in playing Shadow after the changes to the class fantasy for the spec for Legion were outlined and the Artifact weapon and new talents for the class began to be described.
When I later decided to “resurrect” Kazithra to pick up the Shadow Artifact so that I could have a complete collection of all the Artifact weapons — and so that I could, on occasion, make dagger + off-hand Transmogrification kits — I simply used the Barbershop to temporarily change Kaohana’s appearance to a “Kazithra” alter-ego.
38) Voodoo Incense
Nayeli Hood, Mantle of the Exorcist (LFR), Orunai Robe, Hexweave Belt (1-640), Blubber-Stained Grips, Sen’jin Doublet, Voodoo Hex-Staff
So I thought to myself, as long as I’m still on Draenor, I might as well go ahead and try to make kits for all three colors of this Draenor robe. I’m not all that fond of the style, so I’ll doubt that I’ll use it again once Warlords is over. As I was looking for items already in my inventory to wear with it, these similarly colored items appealed to me. Despite the overall appearance being an odd conglomeration of Pandaren and Troll influences, I rather like it. I’ll grant, though, that it does look a little less silly without the hat.
37) Wolf-Whisperer
Helm of Lupine Cunning, Mantisweave Mantle, Anchorite Robe & Handwraps, Councillor’s Sash, Neophyte’s Shirt, Iron Horde Ritual Staff
I wanted to make this kit with the blue-grey version of the robe so that I could call it the “Frostwolf Wolf-Whisperer”. The warm tones of the helm, shoulders, and shirt, however, coordinate much better with the dusty green version of the robe.
36) Frostwolf Mystic
Stonecloth Epaulets, Frostwolf Wind-talker robe & belt, Gloves of the Infernal Nocturnal, Wound Dressing, Umbranse’s Staff
This kit is sort of like an updated version of one of Kaohana’s earliest outfits, which used the similarly skimpy Mystic’s Robe.
This Warlords robe style puts cool little tattoos on the shoulders that are plain to see when the towel-roll shoulderpiece that goes with the set is worn.
Unfortunately, that shoulder armor also clips quite severely with the bust of any of the female models, making other shoulder models much more attractive.
35) Horde Wizard
Exquisite Sunderseer Mantle, Apothecary’s Robe, Apothecary’s Waistband, Ritual Gloves, Renzithen’s Dusty Cloak, Staff of the Sun
My Horde clothies all go through a stage between about level 15 and level 25 where they’re wearing more or less this same kit; the key items are quest rewards from Tranquillien, and I like these items so much that all my clothie alts have to go get them.
This is Kazithra, a relatively short-lived alt resulting from a brief flirtation with the idea of playing a Tauren Shadow Priest. I’d rolled secondary characters of all the other Tauren classes, so I felt like I ought to have a secondary Priest, too — and I can’t bring myself to have two characters of the same race, class, and spec. So, she had to be Shadow. I don’t really think that “Tauren” and “Shadow Priest” really go together very well, but I thought that shadow orbs sure looked cool, and that the glyphed version of Shadowform looked cool. I could imagine a Grimtotem Tauren choosing to walk in the Shadow; Kazithra is Kregga’s mother. Like her daughter, she chose to swear loyalty to Baine Bloodhoof after Magatha’s insurrection, and now she goes about dishing out shadow-flavored punishment on her former tribespeople.
The tabard in these pictures is a zone buff from the Horde questline in Stonetalon Mountains. I got about a third of the way through that questline with Kazithra, then never managed to get around to finishing it. Perhaps I should try to play through it with my Orc Mage one of these years…
34) Waterfall Cricket
Greenweave Mantle, Waterfall Robe, Councillor’s Sash, Replica Virtuous Gloves, Rejuvenating Scepter, Purehearted Cricket Cage
One of my goals during Mists of Pandaria was to heal in LFR with a character of every healing class. I achieved that goal, with a healer of each class who completed at least Terrace of Endless Spring from T14, all of Throne of Thunder, and Siege of Orgrimmar through the Sha of Pride. The very charming Purehearted Cricket Cage drops from the second boss in the Vale of Eternal Sorrows opening wing of the Siege of Orgrimmar.
This Kun-Lai Summit quest reward robe matches the tailored Windwool set, which has a tunic chestpiece instead of a robe.
33) Duskwoven Visions
Duskwoven Turban, Lightning Infused Mantle, Coldtouch Phantom Wraps, Contender’s Satin Belt, Bolt-Burster Grips, Liuyang’s Lovely Longstaff
The soft, misty greys and aqua-greens of the Duskwoven robe & turban have always seemed to me to be particularly appropriate for a Priest, somehow. A Mage could try the same accessories with the soft violet Robe of the Magi.
32) Ternion Phantom
Cowl of the Ternion Glory (LFR), Shoulderpads of Pulsing Protection, Coldtouch Phantom Wraps, Beach Party Thong, Bolt-Burster Grips, Umbranse’s Staff
My primary motivation for collecting the Priest T16 LFR set was to be able to mix-and-match it with this lovely robe from Stratholme (Service Gate entrance). The Duskwoven robe is almost identical, except that it has elbow-length sleeves. The T16 belt itself was a little too much of the dark bronze color for my taste; the softly metallic tones of this belt harmonize with the metal trim on the shoulders without overpowering the robe.
31) Ternion Glory
Vestments of the Ternion Glory (LFR, mixture of actual tier and lookalike items), Umbranse’s Staff
I like how this helm looks on Tauren (and Worgen) better than the way it looks on all other races. The cap of swept back feathers seems entirely appropriate for the native american pastiche aesthetic of the Tauren.
