Another milestone for the Sunday Mog Show!
The Trial of Style was on last week, with new prizes again! This time, the new rewards are shoes (Conjuror’s Slippers (blue); Patroller’s Footwear (brown)) that have as their selling point of spiffiness that they fully cover the feet of races which don’t usually have their feet covered by shoes*.
I am not particularly impressed by how these new shoes look on Tauren, Draenei, and Worgen —
— but I am quite pleased with how they look on Pandaren, Trolls, and Vulpera.
I did get the fancier versions of the shoes, as well, but I have uses in mind for those that will require holidays later in the year to be active.
White and Purple Clouds
Cat Lover’s Vest, White Cloud Belt, White Cloud Leggings, Patroller’s Footwear
A very simple kit using the high-level Pandaria Tailoring versions of a belt and pants that are among the earliest quest rewards obtained by Pandaren cloth-wearers during their adventures on the Wandering Isle, plus foot-covering shoes from the Trial of Style.
Conjuror’s Sky
Sorcerer Drape, Sorcerer Bracelets, Belt of the Night Sky, Leggings of the Night Sky, Conjuror’s Slippers
A very simple kit using the high-level Pandaria Tailoring versions of a belt and pants that are quest rewards obtained by Pandaren cloth-wearers during the middle of their adventures on the Wandering Isle, plus foot-covering shoes from the Trial of Style.
Zen Trial Style
Beige: Contender’s Satin Amice, Sunset Cloak, Growing Robe, Amaranthine Cord, Initiate’s Necromantle Slippers, Staff of the Hidden Master
Pink: Deadly Gladiator’s Silk Amice, Dusklight Drape, Silkwood Robe, Silkwood Cord, Initiate’s Necromantle Slippers, Rain Poppy Staff
Blue: Nayeli Regalia with Waterfall Drape and Plundered Waterbearer’s Staff
Trial of Style was up, and there were new prizes! Kaelyla was the one who already had some Trial of Style tokens in her bags, so off she went. The first two times I did it, the theme was “Zen”. I did the beige outfit for the first one and it took second place; I did the pink outfit for the second one and it didn’t place. The third time, the theme was “Dark and Deadly”, but I did the blue outfit anyway just because I wanted to use the third coloration of this robe, and of course it didn’t place. But that didn’t matter; I got plenty of tokens to purchase all six pairs of new shoes.
Book of Prophecies
Vestments of Prophecy with Gossamer Headpiece and Light’s Wrath (Hidden, 1st tint)
Some combinations of Tier set and Legion Artifact weapon were just meant to be.
I have always been covetous of the NPC-exclusive recolor of the Prophecy Mantle worn by Kosta Dawnchaser at Thunder Cleft in Krasarang Wilds — but I didn’t know the robe details well enough to recognize the differences in the robe style until I stood them side-by-side to take the pictures.
Embroidered Runes of Knowledge
Nightvale Cowl, Nightsky Mantle, Obsidian-Flecked Cape, Runecloth Robe, Embroidered Shirt, Black Belt of Knowledge, Sorcerer Slippers, Lakali’s Spire of Knowledge
Poking around trying out a half-formed idea that was going in a different direction, I happened upon this robe and then the outfit went this way instead.
Fading Reality
Mag’hari Ritualist’s Horns, Devouring Pellicle Shoulderpads (N), Shawl of the Old Maid, Coldtouch Phantom Wraps, Choral Slippers, Handmaiden’s Longstaff
I went to the AH to buy Zereth Mortis zone-drop BOEs for my Druid and Shaman. After I’d done that, I decided to browse around in Cloth to see what sort of Tier-lookalike BOEs might be coming out of Sepulcher of the First Ones. Sure enough, there was a BOE lookalike of the Normal-mode Warlock shoulders — and even better, it was for a price I could actually afford! And what have I been accumulating all this gold for but to spend it when interesting things show up on the AH? So I bought them. And then, of course, I needed to make an outfit with them.
I knew pretty much right away that this robe was what I wanted to use, and I was delighted to finally have a good opportunity to use this cloak. But I had such a hard time choosing a hat for this outfit! Although I ultimately chose the Warlock-T1-lookalike horns to go along with the shoulders being a Warlock-lookalike item, this ensemble also looks smashing with:
Duskwoven Turban, Katoom’s Mask, Collar of Cho’gall (a more Mage-like option), Azerothian Champion’s Crown, or Deeptide Cover.
Staccato
Staccato set with Crown of the Forest Lord, Marshwater Mantle, and Umbranse’s Staff; variation with Traveler’s Gloves & Boots
Kaurinka had been getting somewhat bored of what she’d been wearing, but I didn’t have any exciting new ideas for her. Then Kaelinda bought her the Zereth Mortis zone-drop BOEs, so she figured she might as well see if she liked those well enough to wear them as-is. And she did, more-or-less; the Classic items in the variation coordinate beautifully!

*Though they aren’t, in fact, the first shoe models to do that. For a Pandaren Mage, at least, their feet are also fully covered by the Sandals of the Severed Soul, Scent-Soaked Sandals, Whisperstep Runners, Vile Manipulator’s Footwraps, and Sprite Darter’s Galoshes

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.
