Sunday on the Promenade 218

The Patch 10.2.7 Hunt for the Harbinger questline prompted some rapid turnover of outfits during the past week.

Solemnity II

Simple Glasses, Mantle of Contained Corruption (LFR), Black Mageweave Vest, Fabulously Flashy Finery, Cloudburst Sash, Frontline Necromancer’s Leggings, Hexweave Gloves (stage 3), Volatile Walkers (LFR), Staff of Natural Fury
When Khrysanthemina first showed up (#34), I wasn’t quite sure who she was. Since then, she’s informed me that she’s Ishaleron’s kid sister.
This outfit is an update of Blood Elf Warlock #67. I’d only had it Mogged for a day or two, though, before Khadgar summoned Kaelyla to meet him and Alleria Windrunner in Dalaran…

Locus Researcher




Wrathful Gladiator’s Silk Amice, Wrathful Gladiator’s Silk Raiment, Wrathful Gladiator’s Cord of Salvation, Silent Slipper of Meditation, Aluneth (Balance of Power, tint 2)
This outfit is worn by various Ren’dorei NPCs. I’ve been meaning to have Kaelyla wear it since I created her, so the Patch 10.2.7 questline to join Alleria Windrunner in a search for the mysterious Harbinger and Dark Heart artifact was a perfect opportunity to do just that.

Ren’dorei Spellsword


Heritage of the Ren’dorei with Harvester’s Court Hood, Darkfeather Cape, Rich Purple Silk Shirt, Voidtouched Scimitar, and Voidtouched Apparatus
…And then because the Hunt for the Harbinger questline awarded void-themed weapons that matched the Ren’dorei Heritage Armor, naturally I wanted to use them right away.
The void scales for the Winding Slitherdrake were a mid-questline reward from the Hunt for the Harbinger.

Silvermoon Scholar of Obscurities



Dazzling Spectacles, Robes of Fluctuating Energy (M), Belt of Blind Devotion (LFR), Soulbreaker’s Crimson Slippers, Staff of Dominance
Like Naleidea Rivergleam, the Silvermoon Scholar NPCs found in Telogrus Rift — which Kateleina, as a member of the Horde, was able to visit while on the Patch 10.2.7 Hunt for the Harbinger questline — are wearing the Mythic version of the Nighthold Mage Tier robe.

Sunstruck


Gilded Sunglasses, Yaungol Deathcult Shoulderguards, Suncrown Breastplate, Gleaming Gloves of Unrelenting Justice, Green Plate Belt, Initiate’s Pants, Gleaming Treads of Unrelenting Justice, Sunny Floral Staff
Making a Dual-Wielding kit with this staff for my Fury Warrior was an irresistible idea. I’ve saved this outfit to use for the “Summer” theme in the next Trial of Style.

Mysterious Moon


Cenarion Thicket Helm, Moonlit Mantle of Unrelenting Justice, Bonelink Armor, Moonlit Gloves of Unrelenting Justice, Moonlit Belt of Unrelenting Justice, Formidable Legguards, Moonlit Treads of Unrelenting Justice, Staff of Divine Infusion; Dracthyr Body Armor Color 6
I’ve seen white-scaled Dracthyr with the white and silver body armor and silver shoulders and belt around Valdrakken, and it looks rather magical. The “night” version of the Warden set seemed like the shoulders and belt to use. Finding other pieces for the Visage form version of the kit was more challenging than expected, however, because most “silver” mail has warmer, rather than cooler, undertones.

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.

Sunday on the Promenade 217

I wanted to get the Traveler’s Log squared away before Patch 10.2.7 drops on Tuesday with two questlines I want to do (the Dark Heart lead-in to War Within, of course, and also the one with Emberthal) and Pandaria Remix starting the week after that.

Mariposa

Eternal Orange Rose, Wings of the Amber Monarch, Watcher’s Tunic + Amber Filigreed Doublet/Hidden chestpiece + Orange Martial Shirt, Decorous Wraps, Soulbreaker’s Ebony Handwraps, Belt of the Hero, Black Tuxedo Pants, Sorcerer Slippers, Conifer Cone Staff
This outfit, a variation on Hallow’s End-themed outfits I’ve made with this chestpiece in the past, rapidly coalesced in my mind as I thought about what to wear with these beautiful butterfly wings. The black hair is a dye job and part of the overall look of the ensemble.

An’she’s Blessing of Abundance



Crown of Infinite Prosperity, Summer Soother’s Shoulders, Spring Reveler’s Dandelion Dress, Sunny Floral Staff
Despite the flavor text referencing An’she, it took seeing this staff being used by other players (mostly Druids) to convince me that I really did want to acquire it. And this staff almost… almost makes me wish I’d bought the Dandelion Sun Hat, after all.

Ironforge Fireweaver

Darckli’s Dragonfire Diadem, Dueler’s Brick Shoulder Cape, Wanderer’s Carrot Cloak, Orange Mageweave Shirt, Ironforge Tabard, Spellbound Specimen Handlers, Drake Racer’s Belt, Trader’s Brick Sarong, Feralfen Sandals, Crystalfire Spellstaff (stage 3)
Upon discovering that the “brick” color of the wardrobe builder items from the Trading Post was more of a terracotta orange than the slightly desaturated dark red I had initially expected, I felt inspired to use them to update my Dwarf Mage’s hometown repping outfit.

Cravat Couture









Eye of Flame, Duskhallow Mantle, Plunderlord’s Waistcoat/Sky-Captain’s Masquerade Coat/Gilnean Noble’s Vest/Waveborne Diplomat’s Vestment, Fel-Infused Grips, Shrouded Cloth Belt, Sky-Captain’s Masquerade Pants, Plunderlord’s Muckscrapers, Electrocutioner Leg, Shadowtome (stage 1)
Frilly cravats keep popping up as a design detail in recent Cosmetic coats, so I thought I’d try to find a set of other items that would work with all the coat styles that have one. The tie on the Gilnean Noble’s Vest is a plainer cravat style, but I included it anyway. The trickiest piece to work into the ensemble was the Waveborne coat, since its color scheme is so different from the others.
This handsome fellow is Kaelyla’s husband, Ishaleron. Although he didn’t share his wife’s academic interest in the Void, he was with her, supporting her work, as she studied Telogrus Rift with Magister Umbric’s group, and so he got caught in the Incident that resulted in the transformation into Ren’dorei.
I didn’t take a whole month to wear this collection one week at a time, though — Kaelyla wore the red version as herself for most of the interval, then I cycled through the rest of the variations with the Barbershop and the MogYak in an evening, ending with Kaelyla as her(AU)self again in the brown version.

Sunday on the Promenade 216

Getting the five colors of the Dracthyr Battlegear, with their matching staves, fist weapons, and shields, was Kamalia’s main Mog collection goal for Dragonflight. With that accomplished, and after taking a month or so to wear each coloration for at least one week, I could at last put out the first installment of “Things my Evoker Wears” earlier this week!

Dracthyr Battlegear






For all the details, visit “Things my Evoker Wears, part 1” and Things my Shaman Wears, part 14.

Plunderlord’s Prowess

Plunderlord’s Monocle, Plunderlord’s Tassled Spaulders, Duelist’s Crimson Doublet, Plunderlord’s Tabard, Ferocious Gladiator’s Silk Handguards (H), Plunderlord’s Golden Cinch, Sky-Captain’s Masquerade Pants, Harvester’s Court Slippers, Plunderlord’s Fine Rapier, Disciple’s Stein
The Plunderlord tabard was the reward for reaching the final Keg Leg’s Crew (Plunderstorm) Renown level. Where’s the rum-flavored Kaja Cola?
Once the double Plunder bonus for the last week or two of the event kicked in, it was easy as pie for my kiddo to get that last Plunderstorm Renown level and earn the tabard and the title.

Irontide Swabbie

Irontide Raider’s Bicorne, Captain Sanders’ Shirt, Swashbuckling Buccaneer’s Sash, Handwoven Trousers, Buccaneer’s Boots, Torch of Austen, Gnomish Liquid Transfer Apparatus
As soon as I had Kayliddia’s previous pirate kit posted, I thought of this outfit at the opposite end of the pirate pecking order.

Sleek Waveborne Diplomat

Waveborne Diplomat’s Regalia with Twisted Sisters Handwraps, Riven Priesthood Slippers, and Plundered Oracle Fin Staff
The Waveborne Diplomat’s set, including the puffy shoulders, has grown on me as it’s sat in my Wardrobe. I still think the set gloves and boots are pretty silly, though, so I thought I’d try to find some gloves and boots that I might like better. Because the set uses a unique hue of brown, it was easier to find items that would coordinate with the darker of the olive green shades in the stripes of the pants and the lower sleeves.
I’ve been using my Human Mage’s original appearance as her primary appearance again for some time now, so it felt right to change her name back, too. Fortunately, her original name was still available.

Waveborne Wizard

Waveborne Diplomat’s Cavalier Hat, Waveborne Diplomat’s Puffed Pauldrons, Pterroleather Cloak, Waveborne Diplomat’s Vestment, Flowing Aquatic Gloves, Waveborne Diplomat’s Belt, Trader’s Aquatic Sarong, Squirgle’s Deepstone Wand, Bubbling Concoction
I thought I’d try the Waveborne Diplomat hat, shoulders, chestpiece, and belt with the aqua gloves and sarong from the Trading Post. The concept worked out as nicely as I thought it would.

Sunday on the Promenade 215

This week’s installment of the Sunday Mog Show features a couple of color-swap-themed collections that I have been building over the past several weeks, another Plunderstorm mix-n-match, and Kaelinda’s Outfit #200!

Seasons of Amirdrassil

Spring: Eternal Pink Rose, Ceremonial Jacaranda Branches, Ceremonial Jacaranda Cape/Dreamcatcher’s Crescent, Ceremonial Jacaranda Gown, Ceremonial Jacaranda Gloves, Ceremonial Jacaranda Belt, Ceremonial Jacaranda Sandals, Ceremonial Jacaranda Bloom, Breezekeeper’s Pinecone Scepter
Summer: Crown of Boundless Courage, Summer Soother’s Shoulders, Summer Soother’s Wrap/Circlet of the Mother Tree, Summer Soother’s Gown, Summer Soother’s Mitts, Summer Soother’s Sash, Summer Soother’s Slippers, Summer Soother’s Wand, Summer Soother’s Implement
Autumn: Crown of Autumnal Flora/Eternal Orange Rose, Maple Tender Mantle, Henri’s Warm Coat/Ochre Ornament of the Grove, Maple Tender Robe, Maple Tender Gloves, Maple Tender Sash, Maple Tender Slippers, Wand of Brisk Dusks, Verdant Aspirant’s Torch
Winter: Crown of Everlasting Fortune, Frigid Conservator’s Shoulders, Frigid Conservator’s Wrap/Frost Sapling’s Adornment, Frigid Conservator’s Gown, Frigid Conservator’s Mitts, Frigid Conservator’s Sash, Frigid Conservator’s Slippers, Frigid Conservator’s Wand, Frigid Conservator’s Implement
I’ve been assembling this collection over the past month, wearing each coloration for about a week out and about in Azeroth. I took so many pictures for each outfit, however, that I really ought to have just posted it week by week, season by season, as I was wearing each variation. I have posted this series of outfits on Kaelyla’s current “Things my Void Elf Mage Wears” page separated out by season and including pictures taken in Bel’ameth and other locations around Amirdrassil as it exists outside the Emerald Dream.
The “Frigid Conservator” version of the Emerald Dream outdoor activities set, which is labeled as “Superbloom” in the set list but could drop from any of the three Emerald Dream weekly quest reward satchels, is definitely Winter. The “Maple Tender” BoE zone drops version is definitely Autumn. At first, the “Summer Soother” quest rewards version seemed more Spring-like to me because of its lighter green and pink colors, but then it occurred to me that those colors are like roses and azaleas. The “Ceremonial Jacaranda” Emerald Bounty version, with its darker green and purple colors, could be Spring because those colors are like crocuses and irises — and jacaranda trees do bloom in spring.

Kaleidoscope

Aquamarine: Warmongering Gladiator’s Helm (H), Grizzly Jerkin, Trader’s Aquatic Sarong, Aldrachi Warblades (upgraded, tint 2)

Lime: Fel-Proof Goggles, Grizzly Jerkin, Trader’s Lively Sarong, Twinblades of the Deceiver (upgraded, tint 1)

Violet: Stylin’ Purple Hat, Grizzly Jerkin, Trader’s Violet Sarong, Twinblades of the Deceiver (PvP, tint 1)

Crimson: Soulstarve Hood, Trader’s Crimson Sarong, Twinblades of the Deceiver (Balance of Power, tint 1)
I’ve been assembling this outfit series over the past several weeks. The idea started with the aqua version of the sarong paired with the aqua tint of the Aldrachi Warglaives. There are two more tattoo colors, black and dark green. A black version of the sarong has been datamined, but it’s unknown when it will be available at the Trading Post — perhaps not until October and Spooky Season? A darker green version of the sarong might not even be planned.

Irontide Overlord

Irontide Raider’s Bicorne, Plunderlord’s Tassled Spaulders, Trusty Treasure Trove, Sky-Captain’s Masquerade Coat, Wickerwoven Cuffs, Gloves of Abhorrent Strategies (M), Swashbuckler Sash, Handwoven Trousers, Harvester’s Court Slippers, Plunderlord’s Gilded Sigil
Thanks to the Plunderstorm, PCs can now wear the previously NPC-exclusive black-and-red striped pants of the Irontide Raiders from Freehold.

Epic Bo Peep

Wayward Chronomancer’s Chronocap (H), Lost Scholar’s Temporal Shoulderdials (H), Azure Silk Vest, White Swashbuckler’s Shirt, Arcing Bracers, Replica Devout Belt, Wayward Chronomancer’s Pantaloons (H), Wayward Chronomancer’s Strapped Boots (LFR), Aluneth (Hidden, tint 1)
I loved the Heroic tint of the Amirdrassil Mage Tier set, but it seemed quite out of reach. I watched a set of the BoE lookalike version of the shoulders at the Heroic iLevel on the AH until its seller at last dropped the price into a range I could afford. At the time that I obtained them, I got the Solar Synthesis Crown from Emerald Dream reputation and Aurostor’s Sleeping Knickers at Champion 1/8. I traded in the Keg-Stamped Coins from the once-per-account Plunderstorm Renown 5 quest for the Wyrm’s Dreaming Crests I needed to upgrade those items to Champion 6/8, which is the same iLevel as the Heroic raid drops, then used the Revival Catalyst to convert them to the Tier items.
This outfit is officially #200 for Kaelinda, and I think it’s suitably epic for that milestone.
Unofficially, though, I’ve posted so many outfits as collections of variations that she actually passed 200 some time ago.

War Within alpha infodump reactions, part 1 of ?: PC Half-Elves, stout elves and slender humans

Well, well, well.
Invites for the War Within public alpha are going out, and the NDA on the War Within select content creators alpha has lifted, and information from the alpha is flooding Wowhead.

Between Blizzard Watch revealing this in their spoiler-coy headline and Wowhead revealing that in their spoiler-coy headline, the first major story beat of War Within is pretty well spoilt even without reading the articles.

I am quite excited about the Warbands concept, and I also quite like the Warbands group picture character selection screen idea. I’ve gotten really used to using the character selection screen to take nice clear pictures of outfits for the Sunday Mog Show, though — even if many of them have really terrible backdrop lighting and need levels adjustment — and I’m going to have to think about where is a place in the game with good, clear, even lighting that I can use to take outfit pictures for the Sunday Mog Show after the Warbands character selection screen goes live.

It seems that Dracthyr will be allowed to be more than just Evokers at some point in War Within. I’ll confess that I haven’t properly played my Evoker enough to understand how her abilities fit together, and that for me, the most fun thing about being a Dracthyr is Soaring. So if I can be a Dracthyr Mage (or Druid or Shaman) and Soar around, that might make being a Dracthyr more appealing to me than being a Dracthyr Evoker has been.

Customization previews for the new Allied Race, the Earthen, are up, and I find myself just as uninterested in rolling one as when they were first announced at Blizzcon. There’s another new race, which I don’t recall from Blizzcon coverage, that has enough customization options to potentially be a later-in-the-expansion Allied Race. They’re called the Harronir, and they appear to be some sort of bat-eared… porcupine? people. Not interested. In fact, I’m Not Interested enough in either of these new Allied Races that I’m once again, as I was right after Blizzcon, contemplating pruning the Minor Mages roster down to characters whom I’ve had for a very long time, characters I have written stories about, and characters of races whose Heritage Armor I would like to maybe get someday — just to break out of the “gotta catch ’em all”/”must have one of everything” mindset.

The most intriguing thing, to me, of what’s fountained out of the alpha thus far is some new ear customizations. Half-Elves are well-established in WoW lore: the High Elves Vereesa and Alleria Windrunner both have Human husbands and Half-Elf children, and Kalecgos is a Half-Elf in his Visage form. With the “Short” ear length customization currently available, Blood Elves and Void Elves can already RP as more elf-like Half-Elves. The “Pointed” ear customizations that have been discovered for Humans and Kul Tiran Humans will allow for RP as more human-like Half-Elves. Or, perhaps, they could allow someone to RP as a full-blooded Eversong Elf with a stouter body shape. The “Round” ear customizations that have been discovered for Blood Elves and Void Elves seem like a workaround to allow someone to RP as a Human with a more slender body shape.

I’ll save my thoughts on Transmogrification stuff that’s been previewed so far until the Season 1 Class sets for my three favorite Classes have all been shown; so far, only one of them has been written up.

Sunday on the Promenade 214

Ultimately, I concluded that I would rather wear the flower crowns, the Eternal Roses, and the Wildercloth Gardening Hats instead of the Dandelion Sun Hat, so I put the Spring Reveler’s Lavender Collection on Freeze instead — just in case I have the Tender left over to spend on it after the High Scholar’s Arcana finally shows up at the Trading Post — because if the Cornsilk variation does ever show up in the live game, the collector in me will want to have all the colors of that dress.

Plunderlord



Plunderlord’s Tricorne of Admiralty/Plunderlord’s Monocle, Plunderlord’s Tassled Spaulders, Plunderlord’s Drapery, Plunderlord’s Waistcoat, Fine Crimson Doublet, Plunderlord’s Pilferers, Plunderlord’s Golden Cinch, Plunderlord’s Fancy Trousers, Plunderlord’s Muckscrapers, Plunderlord’s Fine Rapier + Anima-Infused Muck/Plunderlord’s Gilded Sigil
This outfit is rewarded from Keg Leg’s Crew (Plunderstorm) Renown levels 23 – 38.

Sky-Captain’s Plunder

Plunderlord’s Tricorne of Admiralty, Plunderlord’s Tassled Spaulders, Plunderlord’s Drapery, Sky-Captain’s Masquerade Coat, Thick Sauroskin Gloves, Plunderlord’s Golden Cinch, Sky-Captain’s Masquerade Pants, Plunderlord’s Muckscrapers, Plunderlord’s Fine Rapier
Well, this was a mix-and-match that just had to happen.

Modern Darkmoon Mystic Mage


Watcher’s Cap, Dueler’s Lively Shoulder Cape + Dueler’s Violet Shoulder Cape, Cloak of the Darkmoon Faire, Disciple’s Robe, Fabulously Flashy Finery, Archmage Slippers, Terokk’s Shadowstaff
I made a version of this outfit long, long ago (see Blood Elf Warlock #5); with all the Wardrobe QoL changes since then, and new Cosmetic items, it was overdue for an update.

Freya’s Hammer

Overgrown Freyan Warplate with Wildguard Helm, Master Builder’s Shirt, and Ogra’mal Snake Charming Flute
Although Keija is not yet level 70 and has not been to the Emerald Dream around Amirdrassil, her big sisters collected the pieces of this set for her by planting Small Dreamseeds.

Rustbolt Returner

Square Holders, Dueler’s Aquatic Shoulder Cape, Wanderer’s Midnight Cloak, Inmate’s Straight Robe (H), Rustbolt Resistance Tabard, Belt of Arcane Storms (N), Neural Synapse Enhancer
Mechagnomes kind of creep me out, actually. I have a certain amount of body horror associated with their legs particularly, because of all the delicate internal systems located in the lower back and pelvic regions of the body. So my Mechagnome will never wear any tunic chestpiece, only robes to cover up the legs so I can RP that only her feet — or perhaps legs just from the knee down — have been… “augmented”.
Anyhow, Katrinka was tired of being stuck in that Halloween outfit, and an outfit using the Rustbolt tabard and the staff from the Mechagon dungeon seemed like the sort of thing I could leave her in for a very long time.

Sunday on the Promenade 213

I hit the new Noblegarden duck boss with 7 level 60-70 characters each day and didn’t get the pretty new flying carpet. I also collected Brightly Colored Eggs for XP with 4 characters each day. During the first part of the week, I only did 1 Renown level per day in Plunderstorm; at the end of the week, I pushed it a little harder to get to Renown 33 and the second Traders Tender reward. Whether I get 2 Renown levels per day or only manage one, I should be able to finish up that nonsense this week.

Robin’s Eggs and Peonies



Spring Reveler’s Turquoise Sun Hat/Blue Spring Circlet, Spring Reveler’s Turquoise Dress/Spring Reveler’s Turquoise Attire, Spring Reveler’s Turquoise Belt, Spring Reveler’s Turquoise Pants, Spring Reveler’s Turquoise Boots, Wand of Happiness, Spring Flowers/Egg Basket
The new-for-2024 Noblegarden duck boss drops — indirectly — the pieces for this pastel outfit.

Sunshine and Roses


Crown of Infinite Prosperity/Spring Reveler’s Dandelion Sun Hat, Spring Reveler’s Dandelion Dress, Touch of Light, Dreamseeker Dandelion
This is my favorite coloration of the available Spring Reveler’s sets; the early datamining of these items included a fourth coloration which I liked best of all, but which didn’t make it into the live game (or at least hasn’t yet).
I like the Sun Hat style particularly well on my Vulpera because she doesn’t have any hairstyle to cover up. However, the Dandelion is the only color of the Sun Hat style that I actually like. Furthermore, since all of my Mages are Herbalists, when they eventually get to the Dragon Isles, they’ll be able to wear the Wildercloth Gardening Hat (or Master’s Wildercloth Gardening Hat). Thus, I’m not sure if I actually want to buy this hat, so I’ve put it on Freeze for the time being.

Spring Reveler’s Dilemma




Eternal Pink Rose/Yellow Spring Circlet, Dueler’s Rosy Shoulder Cape + Dueler’s Aquatic Shoulder Cape/Dueler’s Lively Shoulder Cape, Spring Reveler’s Turquoise Attire/Spring Reveler’s Dandelion Attire, Spirit Tender’s Cord, Renathal’s Field Inquisitor’s Leggings/Spring Reveler’s Dandelion Pants, Plunderlord’s Muckscrapers, Seabreeze/Pillar of Ferocity
I dithered about whether to spend Tender on the Dandelion jacket until I thought of doing this with it.
Although I like the flower embroidery on the lower corners of the front of the jacket, I’m not so fond of how the painted-on jacket tails wrap around the buttocks in the back. So overall, I’m not too keen on the Spring Reveler’s pants style. I also didn’t buy the Dandelion pants because I think that coloration of the outfit would look better as a whole with dark green pants instead of teal pants. The teal pants do coordinate better with the yellow bunny ears, though.

Fun ‘n’ Flirty



Eternal Pink Rose, Sprite Darter’s Flutterers, Battlefield Lover’s Bow, Sprite Darter’s Shawl, Classic Rosy Tabard, Love Witch’s Gloves, Love Witch’s Sash, Sprite Darter’s Trousers, Love Witch’s Boots, The Hammer of Destiny, The Oathkeeper
Slight modification of an outfit I originally put together for this theme during the March 2024 Trial of Style. It also seemed quite suitable for Noblegarden, especially with the new pink & blue color scheme for the holiday.

Nemesis


Horns of the Left Hand Path, Hatefury Mantle, Nemesis Robes, Scepter of Sargeras (default, tint 1)
Keshara figured she ought to wear this while the Spring Gatherer was in town. Recently, Wowhead reported finding a full set of Nemesis gear in the recolor worn by the Spring Gatherer in PTR datamining, but who knows when or how that might ever make it into the live game.

Sunday on the Promenade 212

Wasting away in the Plunderstorm
Searching for my lost silver and gold…
With some help from my kid, I’ve made it to Renown 24. Only 14 more levels to go… I just want the Tender to spend at the Trading Post and the Plunderlord Mog set, I don’t need the fancy parrot mount or the title or the tabard.
One evening this week, I went to bed early and didn’t do any Plunderstorm. The next night, I got the 800 Plunder reward for completing the Captain’s Orders from my first two Plunderstorm matches.

Storm Captain

Storm Captain’s Hat, Weatherproven Drape, Fine Crimson Doublet, Swindler’s Cutouts, Handwoven Trousers, Silent Leathers, Blacksteel Saber, Mistyreed Torch
This outfit is rewarded from Keg Leg’s Crew (Plunderstorm) Renown levels 12 – 21.

Taverner’s Tale II

Reno’s Lucky Hat, Dueler’s Sepia Shoulder Cape, The Tavern’s Tabard, Earth Mother’s Sepia Gloves, Taverner’s Belt, Trader’s Sepia Sarong, Blue Diamond Witchwand, Heartbound Tome
This outfit, which makes use of Trading Post models in a color first available from the March 2024 Trial of Style, has a little more of the “telling tales of high adventure while playing cards at a genteel gathering” vibe.

Jade Variations

Summer: Gilded Sunglasses, Jade Breastplate, Jade Legplates, Vorpil’s Ribsmasher

Blue Skies: Gilded Sunglasses, Selfless Wings of the Ascended, Jade Breastplate, Waistguard of Divine Grace, Jade Legplates, Frostbitten Hammer

Goin’ Green: Fel-Proof Goggles, Gleaming Mantle of Unrelenting Justice, Gleaming Cloak of Unrelenting Justice, Jade Breastplate, Gleaming Gloves of Unrelenting Justice, Gleaming Belt of Unrelenting Justice, Jade Legplates, Gleaming Treads of Unrelenting Justice, Vorpil’s Ribsmasher
A series of outfits I made for sequential themes in the March 2024 Trial of Style.

Sunday on the Promenade 211

I’ve managed to get to Renown 12 in the Plunderstorm by now, or about two Renown levels each day of play. If I can keep this up through the next week, I think I’ll be in a good place to get only one Renown level per day during Noblegarden when I’ll have other things I’ll want to be doing.

Trial of Style is on, and there are a bunch of new rewards. I spent a couple of evenings doing Trial of Style to get the new shirts and the brown evening gloves, sarong, shoulder cape, and tabard — but by the time I was putting this post together, I didn’t feel up to doing the screenshotting, image editing, and Wowhead linking to prepare any of those outfits for publication. Maybe the best one(s?) will make it into the next Sunday Mog Show.

Shabby Swabbie

Warm Woolen Cap, Skulker’s Cloak, Spun Cotton Shirt, Swabbie’s Gloves, Quilted Breeches, Surefooted Boots, Deadly Dagger, Gnomish Liquid Transfer Apparatus
This outfit is rewarded from Keg Leg’s Crew (Plunderstorm) Renown levels 2 – 9.

Kirygosa

Eternal Blue Rose, Relentless Gladiator’s Silk Amice, Cloak of Cheerful Flowers, Windchanneller’s Tunic, Runespeaker’s Gloves, Korthian Caretaker’s Sash, Exiled Dabbler’s Leggings, Tinkmaster’s Spare Shoes, Spire of Coagulated Globules (LFR)
What I don’t quite get is why Kirygosa still adopts a Quel’dorei visage if she’s chosen to spend the rest of her life among the Pandaren. So here’s an idea of what she might look like if she adopted a Pandaren visage.
I couldn’t quite mimic Kirygosa’s outfit perfectly; she is wearing the Normal-mode versions of the Woven Stone Bracelets (Vault of the Incarnates) and the Eelskin Flippers (Eternal Palace) but I wasn’t about to go farm for those things, so I looked for something vaguely similar and landed upon these Stormheim quest rewards.

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.

Sunday on the Promenade 210

Catching the Hearthstone 10th Anniversary event as often as I could, it didn’t take long to collect all the account-wide things. Now I’m spending the rest of the event trying to get the Collector’s Carryall with as many of my primary realm alts as I can; I’m currently at 11/17. I have gotten a whole nest of Sarges…

Taverner’s Tale



Reno’s Lucky Hat, Drake Racer’s Shoulderpads, Swashbuckling Buccaneer’s Tunic, The Tavern’s Tabard, Skitterweb Glovelettes, Taverner’s Belt, Renowned Explorer’s Trousers, Renowned Explorer’s Muckwaders, M’thorus, Heartbound Tome
I wanted to make an outfit that was a little more “sitting in a tavern playing a card game” than “swashbuckling adventures finding artifacts”, but somehow I didn’t quite manage to make that work, did I?

Taverner’s Treasure

Reno’s Lucky Hat, Hidden Shoulder + Supple Shoulderguards (stage 2), Treasure Nabbin’ Bag, Plainstalker Tunic, Runic Leather Gauntlets, Taverner’s Belt, Dragonhawk Pants, Stolen Talrendis Boots, Expeditionary Dagger
I liked the way this kit looked with bare shoulders, but I also liked how the blue jewel on the Supple shoulders complemented the blue jewels in Reno’s Lucky Hat and the Taverner’s Belt.
