Sunday on the Promenade 186

I have so many ideas for outfits for these two characters right now…

Embrace the Crazy




Oblivion Cultist’s Robes with Crazy Cap and Flamecaster Botefeux
The Ny’alotha raid set from Battle for Azeroth could be collected, in lookalike form, without ever setting foot in the raid by participating in the outdoor N’Zoth Assaults in Uldum and Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Although this set is really rather a Nope for me, in the spirit of wearing each raid set that I’ve collected at least once, here it is. I still had to trade out the hat; this one has suitably coordinating colors and a very coordinating name.

Channeled Flows


“Rhinestone” Sunglasses, Waveborne Diplomat’s Puffed Pauldrons/Ascended Squallspires (LFR), Waycrest Inquisitor’s Cloak, Compressed Cultist’s Frock (LFR), Gloves of Raging Tempests (Primal Empowered), Aqu’sirr’s Swirling Sash, Suspicious Slippers, Staff of Restraint
Although I made the version of this outfit with the Waveborne Diplomat’s Puffed Pauldrons first, like it better, and wore it longer, I also made the version of this outfit with the Ascended Squallspires so I can eventually put this outfit in a collection of All The Mage Tier Sets — because this chestpiece is actually from the Vault of Incarnates Priest set.

Achren




Soulbreaker’s Ebony Hood, Curtainfire Mantle, Mantle of Burnished Blades, Grim-Veiled Robe, Radiant Court Handwraps, Gem-Inlaid Velvet Cinch, Sinful Inquisitor’s Slippers, Abracadaver (H)
The Sanctum of Domination raid sets shared models with the Shadowlands crafted Legendary items. Although the appearances of the crafted Legendary items initially could not be used for Transmogrification, I crafted the robe just in case. And I lucked out; around the time Dragonflight launched, the appearances of the crafted Legendary items were converted to be Moggable and qualify as raid item lookalikes to unlock Appearance collection completion progress. Not only that, they also changed from black to the Mythic colorations of the raid items. So here’s an outfit to use the Sanctum of Domination robe, just once.
This outfit takes its name from the evil sorceress queen of the Chronicles of Prydain.

Ysera’s Bloom





Crown of Boundless Courage, Fireplume Plumage, Iridescent Warcloak, Festive Pink Dress, Memory of Ysera + Hidden Gloves, Fireplume Insignia, Sandswept Sandals, Warpstaff of Arcanum
I saw another player wearing this combination of flower crown, cloak, dress, and corsage during Lunar Festival. The addition of the Fireplume items, however, is my own embellishment of the concept.

The Anima-Siphoning Sword (shown with Stratholme Lily) would coordinate nicely with the cloak, but I’ve been camping the Zereth Mortis rare spawn that drops it without success.

Lady in Red II/Lady In Blue





Red: Wanderer’s Snowy Scarf, Ferocious Gladiator’s Silk Amice (H), Wanderer’s Snowy Cloak, Lovely Red Dress, Fine White Evening Gloves, Crazed Traveler’s Legwraps, Warm Red Woolen Socks, Vengeful Gladiator’s Battle Staff
Blue: Wanderer’s Snowy Scarf, Ferocious Gladiator’s Silk Amice (A), Wanderer’s Snowy Cloak, Lovely Blue Dress, Fine White Evening Gloves, Cobalt Watcher’s Leggings, Sage’s Boots, Apostle of Argus
The red version is an iteration of the outfit in which Kaelydia first appeared (see Blood Elf Mage #59).
The white items from the Trading Post inspired me to revisit it — and also to make a blue version — both of which are also iterations on a similar oufit I recently made using the Lovely Black Dress (see Blood Elf Mage #163).

~*~*~
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 185

Many of the Patch 10.1 sets use the divided skirt with leggings wireframe of the Fireplume Coverts. It almost seems like the Fireplume set was a test-drive to see how players would respond to that pants style, or perhaps a method of getting us used to the idea.

Phoenix Punch


Preened Tribal War Feathers, Fireplume Plumage, Ragged Azsharan Sail Fragment, Master Dinomancer’s Tunic, Corpsehide Gloves, Fireplume Insignia, Soulstalker Breeches/Fireplume Coverts, Corpsehide Boots, Claw of the Phoenix
The Fireplume set seems like it was made to go with this fist weapon.
An outfit idea I passed through on the way to Kate’s previous kit; it didn’t quite work with the Iridescent Warcloak, but I definitely wanted to come back to it.

Aboriginal Plumage

Shadra Silk Headband, Fireplume Plumage, Bloodwoven Cloak, Aboriginal Robe, Acolyte’s Shirt, Fireplume Insignia, Giorgio’s Caduceus of Pure Moods (LFR)
This color variation of this robe style also goes very nicely with the Fireplume feathers.

Loa Seeker II

Steamburst Mantle, Forlorn Loa-Binder Robe, Steamburst Waistwrap, Wand of Sudden Changes, Steamscar Vessel
An minor variation on an outfit originally worn by Kazithra’s namesake grandmother (see Priest #58).

Fan of Knives

Alley Skulker’s Bandana, Mantle of Crimson Blades, Cephalohide Jacket, Felshroud Gloves, Felshroud Belt, Charskin Legguards, Harvester’s Court Slippers, Sinfall Ceremonial Blade
This outfit is pretty but far too showy for anything but exhibition dueling or knife-throwing.

Sunday on the Promenade 184

It’s been Children’s Week, and with Patch 10.1 making Shadowlands items Moggable at level 10, I’ve done a few other things besides.

Besties








Crown of Boundless Courage, Green Wedding Hanbok/Dark Green Wedding Hanbok, Kurkenstoks, Farmer’s Broom
Kaelinda and Kaelyla have been BFFs since their late adolescence, and though the expulsion of the followers of Magister Umbric from Silvermoon strained their relationship for awhile, they worked through it.
I would love to see Children’s Week expanded by allowing the adventurer to sponsor orphans of both genders at all of the participating orphanages.

~*~*~

If you’re at all familiar with the way I Mog, it shouldn’t be the least bit surprising that once I’d made a Fireplume Plumage + Iridescent Warcloak + Fireplume Insignia outfit for one armor type, I’d then have to make an outfit using the same combo for the other armor types.

Dress Pretty and Carry a Big Gun

Truesight Ice Blinders, Fireplume Plumage, Iridescent Warcloak, Triumphant Chestpiece, Skettis Gauntlets, Fireplume Insignia, Triumphant Legplates, Skettis Footwraps, Recoilless Rocket Ripper X-54
I chose the Skettis gloves and boots to coordinate with the purple hues at the bottom of the cloak.
The only bow I had that was pink/purple enough was Huhuran’s Stinger, but its shape aesthetics make it a Nope. That this huge gun seemed somehow right for the outfit was a bit of a surprise.

Fireblossom

Crown of Woe, Fireplume Plumage, Iridescent Warcloak, Master Dinomancer’s Tunic, Gloves of the Fang, Fireplume Insignia, Lookout’s Pants, Footpads of the Fang, Claw of the Phoenix
Looking for purple items to go with the cloak, of course I thought of the Druids of the Fang items from Wailing Caverns. I’m happy, too, that these lovely purple pants from the Blood Elf starting area are now Moggable.

Barbaric Plumage

Fen Spirit Headdress, Fireplume Plumage, Iridescent Warcloak, Barbaric Cloth Robe, Acolyte’s Shirt, Fireplume Insignia, Giorgio’s Caduceus of Pure Moods (LFR)
I chose this robe because its pink and purple shadings coordinated nicely with the cloak. Then the blue trim on the robe wanted more blue in the other accessory pieces to go with it.

Here’s the Plate set from the previous Sunday Mog Show, so we can see them all together:

~*~*~

Elune’s Bard



Moonpriest’s Vestments with Elune’s Wrath and Winterborn Harp
This was the combo that immediately came to mind when I thought of using Elune’s Wrath with a Mage. Now that Shadowlands items are Moggable at level 10, Keriluna can wear it. This is a perfect outfit for her backstory!

Shadowed Stars

Radiant Court Attire with Razorfin Shoulderguards, Shroud of Resolve (rank 12), Sinfall Venthyr Slippers, and Heart Lesion Blade
After all the effort my Druid went to to obtain this cloak, it’s my Death Knight who gets to be first to wear it because she was the first to have a great idea for a Mog incorporating it. The lowering of the level requirement to Mog Shadowlands items in Patch 10.1 was crucial for the creation of this outfit.

~*~*~

Sable Sorceress II



Sabellian’s Battlegear Cloth Armor with Darckli’s Dragonfire Diadem, Mantle of Fury, Dark Silk Shirt, Embereye Belt, Dragon’s Touch, and Master Dragonslayer’s Orb
Whether they be friend or foe, some Blackwing Lair loot will let black dragons know that you mean business and they should give you some respect.
See also Void Elf Mage #93.

Bloodhoof Battlelord



Ancestral Chieftain’s Armor with Ancestral Bloodhoof Totem, Brawler’s Harness*, Ancestor’s Might, and Mankrik’s Boar Slicer
I was quite disappointed that my Fury Warrior can’t dual-Mog Ancestor’s Might — once she’d selected it for the weapon in one hand, it disappeared off the 2H Mace list for the weapon in her other hand.

Cenarion Var. Primalist

Cenarion Raiment with Wrap of Raging Tempests, Waveborne Diplomat’s Belt, and Wildfury Greatstaff
This cloak, which actually comes from the Primal Empowered (Forbidden Reach) Mail set, coordinates exceptionally handsomely with the Cenarion Raiment, which has no cloak of its own.

Sunday on the Promenade 183

A long show this week, since it’s been awhile and lots has happened in Azeroth in that interval.

Heritage of the Plains




Heritage of the Shu’halo with Ancestral Chieftain’s Totem/Ancestral Bloodhoof Totem, Thunder Bluff Doublet, Replica Kilt of The Five Thunders, Ceremonial Ohn’ir Dagger + Sternhorn’s Shield/Ancestor’s Might
Upon meeting with Mayla in Valdrakken, Kamalia donned her Shu’halo best and went to help Baine in the Ohn’ahran Plains.
It had been no small thing for her to overcome her own initial wariness of the Dragon Isles Centaur, for her to fight down her instincts to either attack or flee and to try to approach them as she would any other newly-encountered people. She had found Scout Tomul to be trustworthy, and she had gradually come to respect and appreciate the Maruuk Centaur. She was oddly relieved when Baine at last came to the start of similar conclusions.

Elegant Occasion





Wanderer’s Midnight Scarf/Black Spring Circlet, Wanderer’s Midnight Cloak, Lovely Black Dress, Fine White Evening Gloves, Sinful Inquisitor’s Leggings/Black Tuxedo Pants, Duskhaven Boots, Aluneth (default, tint 3)/Dragon Dinner Fork + Wine Glass/Clear Crystal Rod*
This was the outfit that immediately came to mind when I saw the Fine White Evening Gloves.
When I thought of locations for elegant occasions, of course I first thought of Karazhan.
The next posh place I thought of was the Cupola Cafe in the Upton Borough district of Boralus.
Kaelinda also donned black bunny ears to do the “run a Dragonflight Dungeon while wearing a Spring Circlet during Noblegarden” thing for the Trading Post.

Here she is under the effects of a rather striking combination of Wild Magics in the Azure Vault.

Teal Traveler


Waveborne Diplomat’s Cavalier Hat, Ascended Squallspires (LFR), Renowned Expeditioner’s Drape, Crystal Scholar’s Tunic (LFR), Mana-Etched Gloves, Knight Captain’s Waistcord, Floral Pantaloons, Sigil-Laced Boots, Squirgle’s Deepstone Wand, Bubbling Concoction
With only a few weeks to go until Patch 10.1, I finally managed to get Kaelinda into LFR to collect the shoulders and/or chestpiece of the current Tier set. Fortunately, she managed to get both from her first run.
Although I’m not especially fond of the Primalist aesthetic, the aqua/teal color was fun to play with. And I’m rather pleased by how the swooping curves of the hat echo the curves of the crystal formations on the shoulders.

Dragon Isles Mauve


Drakewatcher’s Armor with Historical Perspective Shifters, Obsidian Cape, and Telmor Soupriest Staff
The mauve of this set goes so nicely with the mauve versions of the Venthyr gear.

Elune’s Bard


Moonpriest’s Vestments with Elune’s Wrath and Winterborn Harp
This was the combo that immediately came to mind when I thought of using Elune’s Wrath with a Mage.
It’d look fabulous on my Night Elf Mage, of course,

but the Shadowlands harp still requires level 48 to Mog, and the chances of Keriluna ever accomplishing that are slim at best.

Harlequin Sprite


Darkmist Wizard Hat, Sprite Darter’s Flutterers, Darkmoon Harlequin’s Tunic, Sprite Darter’s Glovelettes, Sprite Darter’s Sash, Sprite Darter’s Trousers, Darkmoon Harlequin’s Shoes, Viridium Staff of Alacrity
A colorful outfit for running around to collect Noblegarden Eggs in.

Plumed Harlequin

Fearless Gladiator’s Silk Cowl (A), Fireplume Plumage, Darkmoon Harlequin’s Tunic, Fireplume Claws, Darkmoon Harlequin’s Belt, Darkmoon Harlequin’s Tights, Fireplume Talons, Staff of Dominance
This fun, flashy mashup of the Fireplume and Darkmoon Harlequin sets was just the thing when Kimmellynn wanted something new to wear.

Luce Y Amor

Crown of Infinite Prosperity, Fireplume Plumage, Iridescent Warcloak, Gilded Crimson Chestplate, Bloodscale Gauntlets, Fireplume Insignia, Conqueror’s Legplates, Bloodscale Sabatons, Wild Gladiator’s Gavel (H), Light-Bearer’s Faith Shield
I thought this was just going to be a minor variation on Bloodscale outfits I’ve made previously, mostly just using the pretty new cloak from the Trading Post, but then it wanted to be something new by mashing up with the Fireplume set.

Sunday on the Promenade 182: Spring 2023 Trial of Style edition

Yeah yeah there was a patch this week, and I did some of the new stuff, but more importantly, it was Spring Trial of Style!

Trial of Style: Crimson Creations


Red Pointy Hat, Devouring Pellicle Shoulderpads (M), Phoenix-Wing Cloak, Scarlet Sin’dorei Robes, Voidweave Cilice, Infernoweave Boots, Twisted Visage
I got this theme first, and then again a round or two later, and this outfit placed 3rd both times. I participated in Trial of Style a few more times to get enough Tokens for all the new goodies I wanted to acquire, and a couple of those times I even placed 1st — but the outfits I made for the themes of those rounds were just minimally modified ensembles or previously saved outfits, so I won’t share them here.

Trial of Style: Winter Wear

Boneshredder set with Crimson Beanie, Swashbuckling Buccaneer’s Sash, and Miniature Winter Veil Tree
This theme was so easy for a dagger-wielding leather wearer 😀 This outfit placed 2nd, which was enough tokens to get the leather items I wanted.

Trial of Style: Going Green



Fel-Proof Goggles, Pauldrons of the Unrelenting, Silithid Carapace Chestguard, Jade’s Lovely Shirt, Ooze-Ridden Gauntlets, Felforged Waistplate, Zanj’ir Scaleguard Wargreaves/Emerald Legplates, Boots of the Colossus, Supposed Mace/Light’s Justice, Gizlock’s Hypertech Buckler/Aegis of the Sunbird
Karaelia had been feeling like she needed a new outfit, so I sent her to the Trial of Style to get the Anointed Crusader’s Claymore and the Jade Arcus. I got “Going Green” for her first theme, then iterated that outfit for all of her rounds, changing usually just the hat and weapons to approximately fit whatever the theme was. After several rounds of not placing, these versions placed 3rd for the themes Profession Expression (except that she’s not really an Engineer — she’s a Jewelcrafter) and Summer Styles.

Sailor’s Success




Crimson Beanie/Dread Captain’s Chapeau, Swashbuckling Buccaneer’s Tunic, Swashbuckling Buccaneer’s Sash, Seafarer’s Pantaloons, Buccaneer’s Boots, Torch of Austen + Gnomish Liquid Transfer Apparatus/Admiral Taylor’s Cutlass + Mistyreed Torch, Cap’n Crackers
A new pirate hat wants another pirate outfit remix to go with it!
WTB a staff that looks like a mop so I can really be a swabbie.

Apprentice Soupervisor



Ancestral Chieftain’s Headdress, Frostwolf Spaulders, Rivermane War Harness, Ottuk Hide Vest, Rustic Workman’s Shirt, Frostwolf Mitts, Miststalker’s Belt, Frostwolf Leggings, Ottuk Hide Waders, Big Kinook’s Spare Ladle
I was looking for alternate shoulders to go with the Ottuk Hide set, and this mashup with the Frostwolf set from Warlords kind of just happened.

Sunday on the Promenade 181: Renowned Expeditioners

Kamalia continues to slowly advance in Reputation and Renown in the Dragon Isles. She recently reached Renown 14 with the Dragonscale Expedition and unlocked the Renowned Expeditioner’s sets for everyone. This handsome brown and green coloration is my favorite version of this armor style — though I am rather partial to the turquoise and silver quest versions, too. Additionally, Kamalia’s efforts to gain friendship with Sabellian have succeeded enough to allow her Mage friends to acquire the Sabellian’s Battlegear set. Although a Cloth-wearer must purchase and learn the Sabellian’s Battlegear set, once it has been learned by that character, its pieces will show up in the Appearances collections of characters of other armor classes, as well!

Renowned Expeditioner’s Cloth


Renowned Expeditioner’s Cloth Armor with Vital Headband, Imperial Lotus Cloak, and Drakewatcher’s Beacon
Hood models have gotten a lot better since Classic. I still don’t like them.

Renowned Expeditioner’s Leather


Renowned Expeditioner’s Leather Armor with Headdress of the Sleeper, Renowned Expeditioner’s Cloak, and Wildfury Greatstaff
The set hat isn’t bad… it just seems better suited to a Rogue or a Monk than a Druid.

Renowned Expeditioner’s Mail


Renowned Expeditioner’s Mail Armor with Emerald Winglord’s Coif, Renowned Expeditioner’s Armored Shawl, Expedition Dissection Knife, and Hoursteel Barrier
Although I kind of like the concept of a visor that has been pushed up on the set hat, somehow I’d still rather just choose another hat.

Renowned Expeditioner’s Plate


Renowned Expeditioner’s Plate Armor with Obsidian Drakonid Helmet, Emerald Shroud of Loyalty, and Hammer of Ten Thunders
Keija spent just enough time in the Dragon Isles to collect 750 Dragon Isles Supplies to get this kit. I found Fury Warrior rather fun to play in the process and might level her all the way to 70 sometime later in the expansion.
This ensemble also looks rather hilariously awesome with the LFR Helmet of the Last Mogu.

Sable Sorceress




Sabellian’s Battlegear Cloth Armor with Jewel of the Firelord and Shadow Wing Focus Staff
Kamalia’s efforts to gain friendship with Sabellian have succeeded enough to allow her Mage friends to acquire the Sabellian’s Battlegear set. Sadly, Baron Sablemane in Outland hasn’t been updated to Sabellian’s Dragonflight Visage form model. Being something of a Mog nerd, I recognized this ensemble (minus the unique shoulders, of course) as a recolor of the Elite Cataclysmic Gladiator’s Silk Armor worn by Archmage Karlain in Legion Dalaran.

Sunday on the Promenade 180: Things my characters are wearing with the Darkmoon Harlequin’s Bells

Based on how quickly I finished up the Traveler’s Log last month, I was going to let the Traveler’s Log points accrue as they would this month, until it occurred to me that I’d want to take pictures with this months’ Ultimate item at the Darkmoon Faire while it was still in session. So I pushed a little bit to get it done this week.

Kamalia et alia passed its 13th blogiversary this week. After I reached the 10th one, I stopped paying attention to when my blogiversary would be coming up and have been a bit surprised each year when I get the “happy anniversary!” notification from WordPress.

The Titans’ Fool





Darkmoon Harlequin’s Bells with Pink Party Hat, Cloak of the Darkmoon Faire, Aluneth (hidden, tint 1)/Staff of Dominance/Blade of Savagery + Omega Orb*/Depraved Ritualist’s Kris + Dreamseeker Dandelion/Groady Goblin Wand + Night Courtier’s Lyre/Torch of Austen + Mistyreed Torch
As I don’t like masks in general, I’ve chosen the most utterly obvious — and fortunately also at least somewhat coordinating — alternate hat. If there was a version of the Fae Revel Masque in some kind of gold tone, it would be a brilliant choice to wear with the Harlequin’s Bells, but alas, the purplish-silver just doesn’t quite work.

I’ve shown here weapon suggestions for all the weapon types a Mage can use; there are of course other great options for each weapon type. I’ve also shown my favorite option for a staff that one not fortunate enough to be a Mage could use.

If you simply must wear the set hat, the Felsoul Staff complements the style and has Darkmoon Faire-appropriate colors.

Harlequin’s Hoard



Darkmoon Harlequin’s Bells with Demonic Gladiator’s Leather Helm, Trusty Treasure Trove, Demonic Gladiator’s Leather Slippers, Surgeon’s Needle and Rolfsen’s Ripper
I couldn’t decide which of these fancy daggers I liked better with this ensemble, so I used them both!

Darkmoon Trickshot




Darkmoon Harlequin’s Bells with Bronze-Tinted Sunglasses, Gauntlets of the Dragonslayer, Dragonstalker’s Greaves, and Thas’dorah (upgraded, tint 1)
Getting most of these screenshots was more like “lucky” shots than “trick” shots — I don’t think I could capture any of those exact frames of the animation again if I was trying for them.

Darkmoon Chuckler


Darkmoon Harlequin’s Bells with The Horseman’s Horrific Hood, Cloak of the Darkmoon Faire, and Darkmoon Hammer
This was just too good of a combo to pass up. Keija probably won’t wear it long before insisting on something else, though.

And of course I couldn’t resist playing mix-and-match with Harlequin x Sprite Darter and Harlequin x Fireplume, though as you’ll notice, these are all Dressing Room pictures — I didn’t actually commit to Mogging any of these combinations.
Which one is your favorite?

Meanwhile, Kaelinda dinged 70 without having done more than a few regular storyline quests. She got XP from gathering, First Crafts, profession quests, and the occasional World Quest. She’ll still do the main storyline quests anyway, for the Mog appearances and so that she’ll have the restored Oathstones available as Mog photoshoot locations. Anyway, now she can wear the full Tailored Surveyor’s set,

augmented with the Crimson Combatant’s Wildercloth Tunic, Starfire Tiara*, and Neltharian Channeler’s Rod.

Sunday on the Promenade 179

Making their Sunday Mog Show debuts this week, my Tauren Rogue and Mages!

Dreadblades’ Plunder

Dread Admiral’s Bicorne, Exceptional Stormshroud Shoulders, Trusty Treasure Trove, Nobleman’s Coat, Bandit Gloves, Seafarer Belt, Nobleman’s Pantaloons, Bandit Boots, The Dreadblades (default, tint 1)
Kaiuna, formerly a Feral Druid, has always enjoyed playing at looking like a Rogue. The March Trading Post gave her two perfect items for her first official Rogue outfit!

Shimmering Plumage

Red: Shadra Silk Headband, Shadra Silk Mantle, Robe of Combustion, Staff of Fiery Fate

Green: Cobra Priest’s Headdress, Lastwind Shoulderpads, Ivycloth Robe, Staff of the Earthmother

Blue: Fen Spirit Headdress, Fen Spirit Mantle, Royal Gown, Ogre Mage Staff
Kazithra was looking for just the right combination of Tauren-ness and Mage-ness for her first Sunday Mog Show appearance, and this theme-and-variations was it.

Highmountain Manabinder

Highmountain Headdress, Auchenai Keeper Mantle + Highmountain Shoulderguards, Highmountain Harness, Highmountain Tabard (racial)/Tabard of the Highmountain Tribe (faction), Highmountain Gloves, Aqu’sirr’s Swirling Sash, Wandering Healer’s Kilt, Dreambinder
Kjella wanted to use the upper-body pieces of the Highmountain Heritage Armor with a kilt.
This is the first outfit in which I have actually used the “transmogrify each shoulder separately” option!

Meanwhile, my four mains want to be Looking Good for the March Trading Post theme.

Fabulously Flashy


Onyx Glare-Reducers, Wanderer’s Midnight Cloak, Fabulously Flashy Finery, Rockhide Links, Bloodmail Legguards*/Black Tuxedo Pants, Dragon Dinner Fork, Light’s Shield, Eternal Black Diamond Ring, Stylish Black Parasol
I bought this shirt from the Trading Post, so I wanted to do something with it.
Kamalia’s best 1H weapon right now is the Ceremonial Ohn’ir Dagger. Hence, the Dragon Dinner Fork with Light’s Shield as a sort of Dragon Dinner Platter?

Azerothian In Black


Onyx Glare-Reducers, Cloaked Shoulderpads, Eternal Traveler’s Cloak, Rogue’s Tunic, Stylish Black Shirt, Rogue’s Handwraps, Rogue’s Waistband, Rogue’s Leggings, Rogue’s Footwear, Earthborn Staff, Eternal Black Diamond Ring, Stylish Black Parasol
You didn’t see what just happened here. You didn’t see me.
Except when you did, because look at the size of that diamond!
The outfit itself is really more “Mission Impossible” than “Men In Black” — but I could think of MIB jokes more easily 😛

Radiant Court Visage




Radiant Court Attire with Onyx Glare-Reducers, Redeemed Inquisitor’s Mantle, Rapier of the Fearless, Bouquet of Dried Flowers, Eternal Black Diamond Ring, Stylish Black Parasol
My preferred use for the Dark Ranger customization continues to be Venthyr cosplay. Of course, the Venthyr know all about Lookin’ Good.

She’s All That


Onyx Glare-Reducers, Duskhallow Mantle, Shadow Council Tunic, Hexweave Gloves (stage 1), Cloudburst Sash, Black Tuxedo Pants, Slippers of the Forgotten Heretic (LFR), Clear Crystal Rod*, Eternal Black Diamond Ring, Stylish Black Parasol
This ensemble is a riff on an outfit previously created for my Warlock (#75).

Sunday on the Promenade 178

I managed to finish the 9.0 Night Fae Campaign with Kaelinda this week. Now she’s just got to do the 9.0 Necrolords Campaign, and then she’ll be ready to continue with the Korthia Campaign. She’s reached level 68, though, and XP accumulates so effortlessly in the Dragon Isles that she just might reach level 70 before I get back to the Shadowlands. I still plan to do the Campaign questlines for all of the Dragon Isles zones with Kaelinda because she wants to have the Oathstones activated for Mog photoshoot backgrounds 😉

Matron Kaumaleia



Crown of Boundless Courage, White Traditional Hanbok, Skettis Curved Blade
Now that her favorite pretty dress is Cosmetic, the Underpowered Death Knight might never wear anything else.

Jeweled Gold Dragon Goblets currently require level 58 to Mog; Kaumaleia is level 42. Maybe in a couple of years when the next expansion comes out and Dragonflight gets folded into Chromie Time?

Iskaara Trading Partner


Green: Tuskarr Trader’s Leather Armor with Forest Green Ear Warmer, Conservator’s Leather Cape and Elder’s Bioluminous Quarterstaff


Blue: Azure Ear Warmer, Ottuk Hide Epaulets, Rustic Tuskarr Backpack, Ottuk Hide Vest, Ottuk Hide Grips, Ottuk Hide Sash, Ottuk Hide Breeches, Ottuk Hide Waders, Elder’s Bioluminous Quarterstaff
Having acquired this handsome leather set, I’d almost say that Kaurinka is Done in the Dragon Isles, except that there’s still quite a bit of Inscription that she wants to learn… Plus, she’d like to get to level 70 and get some halfway decent gear so she can go solo Heroic Mists of Tirna Scithe until Mistcaller drops the Crown of Autumnal Flora for her.

Rosy Redemption





Wanderer’s Rosy Scarf, Courtier’s Mantle, Wanderer’s Rosy Cloak, Robe of Pained Absolution/Sincollector’s Vestment, Dark Storm Gauntlets/Fireplume Flarewraps, Flourished Cummerbund, Drakewatcher’s Sandals, Firestorm Hackblade, Touch of Inspiration
I love the color of the AQ40 Warlock set gloves, so it was fun to be able to find a use for them in this ensemble.
Although I wore the first version because I liked the overall color balance better, the black sleeves from the Flarewraps sure look great with the black areas of the robe.

Rivulets


Tasteful Eyeglasses, Firewool Shoulderpads, Glassweb Robes, Gandling’s Gloves, Thick Ravager Belt, Priest’s Slippers, Expeditionary Staff
As so often happens, I discovered this combination of shoulders and robe while iterating out an outfit concept for which this wasn’t quite what I had in mind, but I liked it enough to jot it down in my Notebook of Mog ideas for use sometime later when I wanted a new outfit and didn’t have any immediate inspiration.
Although the Witchmother Drape coordinates very nicely with this robe,

I liked seeing the design of the back of the robe itself better.

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 — er, Monday — on the Promenade 177

Ah, yes, I did also do the “eat slices from three kinds of desserts that you can get from Aimee at the Darkmoon Faire” thing for the Trading Post this month. Nom nom nom!

This tidbit from the Patch 10.0.7 PTR makes me want bubblegum pink and clover green hair for Sin’dorei and Ren’dorei so badly…

The Rarest Beauty



Forever-Lovely Rose, Fireplume Plumage, Formal Dangui, Fireplume Claws, Fireplume Insignia, Duskhaven Boots, The Staff of Twin Worlds
The Formal Dangui requires dedicated vendor camping to obtain, as it has an exceptionally long restock time and when it is available, there is only one. I acquired mine many years ago, with a Druid alt created to dwell in Moonglade specifically for that purpose.

Haliscan Heartthrob







Haliscan Brimmed Hat/Forever-Lovely Rose, Fine Crimson Cloak/Crimson Dracthyr’s Drape, Haliscan Jacket, Haliscan Pantaloons, Duskhaven Boots, Dazzling Mithril Rapier, Bouquet of Red Roses/Trainee’s Hand Fan
Now here’s an outfit that I have been waiting for ages to be able to make!
The brown-black hair color is a temporary dye job; it just looked better with the snood attached to the hat.
I was thinking, now where should I go to take the pictures? And for some reason Gadgetzan seemed like an appropriate location. It wasn’t until I got there, however, that I remembered — or rather, rediscovered — that Gadgetzan is where the quest to get the Haliscan Hat comes from to begin with! 😛

Tushui/Huojin Tiger






Fundamental Observation/Fathomstalker Headcover, Warmongering Gladiator’s Ironskin Spaulders/Wild Gladiator’s Ironskin Spaulders, Fen-Yu/Tigerfang Wrap, Sun Pearl Vest/Vest of Compassion, Gloves of Splashing Water/Gloves of Verity, Unmarred Waistband/Ropes of Grieving, Soft Britches/Ceremonial Leggings, Summer Shoes/Boots of Courage, Fists of the Heavens (default, tint 1/tint 4)
This core pieces of this outfit are the second (blue)/third (orange) set of gear obtained by a new Pandaren Monk (or Rogue) as they level through the Wandering Isle. The blue version is worn by the Tushui NPCs who choose to join the Alliance; the orange version is worn by the Huojin NPCs who choose to join the Horde.

A Druid Cultivator’s Colors


Wildercloth Gardening Hat, Shadowfang Shoulderpads, Floral Basket, Druid’s Tunic, Druid’s Handwraps, Druid’s Waistband, Druid’s Leggings, Druid’s Footwear, Staff of the Verdant Circle/Herbalist’s Spade
The level 1 Druid gear introduced during Shadowlands looks very nice with the Herbalism Profession equipment introduced in Dragonflight!

Continental Conclave


Crown of the Righteous, Pauldrons of Vile Corruption, Jadefire Drape, Felgrease-Smudged Robes (N), Wild Gladiator’s Silk Handguards, Enumerated Wrap, Wild Gladiator’s Treads of Prowess, Giorgio’s Caduceus of Pure Moods (LFR)
I don’t like the shoulders from the Hellfire Citadel Mage Tier set at all, so I was happy to discover how nicely these Battle for Azeroth dungeon set shoulders complemented this coloration of the robe.

Sun Queen


Aspiring Aspirant’s Hood, Sin’dorei Pauldrons, Fireplume Halter, Golden Filigreed Doublet, Sin’dorei Gauntlets, Sin’dorei Belt, Fireplume Coverts, Harvester’s Court Slippers, Felo’melorn (upgraded, tint 1), Talisman of the Sun King/Scepter of Passionate Reprisal
With phoenixes being so closely associated with the Sin’dorei, this was a mix-and-match I had to try.
Although the yellow color of this off-hand item has the thematic name, the pink color coordinates more nicely with the Fireplume items.

Ohn’ahran Falconer


Shikaar Scout’s Visor, Ohn’ahran Falconer’s Shoulderguards, Cloak of the Everliving Keeper, Ohn’ahran Falconer’s Chainmail, Ohn’ahran Falconer’s Grips, Ohn’ahran Falconer’s Belt, Ohn’ahran Falconer’s Greaves, Ohn’ahran Plainswalker Greaves, Ceremonial Ohn’ir Dagger, Stout Shield
Kamalia completed the WQ version of this Dragonflight armor set. None of the colors of the Shikaar hat quite match, so I eventually just picked one. Looking at this fellow’s hat, though, I guess I should have picked one of the other colors. Oh well.
