…and now I wanna be a Feltotem Destro ‘Lock, too

Now there’s a sentence I never thought I’d write!
With Mages and Rogues becoming available to Tauren in Dragonflight, that leaves only Warlocks and Demon Hunters as Classes unavailable to Tauren.
I’m cool with Demon Hunters remaining exclusive to Night Elves and Blood Elves.
But there’s precedent for Highmountain Tauren becoming Warlocks, and I can imagine a “reformed” one wanting to rejoin the herd, so to speak…
Destruction is my favorite Warlock spec, but a Highmountain Tauren Demonology Warlock surrounded by a flock of Wild Imps would look pretty awesome.
And if they could have that fel-green hand, hoof, and horn-glow that male Feltotem NPCs have as a Class-specific toggle option (kinda like the Nightborne hand-glow toggle) — and hey, while we’re thinking about that, how about a fel-green hand-glow as a Class-specific toggle option for all Warlocks, hmm? — that would be fabulous!
Now I’m thinking about all the Warlock-wannabe Mogs I’m going to want to make for my Highmountain Tauren Mage (who is going to have to be Fire)…

I’m burning out on 9.0 and I just wanna go do 9.2

I’m just not feeling the Renown grind this week. I look at the base zone WQs — what can I do for Anima? what can I do to complete Callings? — and I don’t feel like going out and doing them.

I want to go to Zereth Mortis. I want to explore and scout the place out for pretty locations for Mog photoshoots. I want to do the 9.2 Campaign. I want to get whatever the most easily-obtained coloration of the zone set is. I want to do whichever category of Cipher of the First Ones research it is that gives buffs for world activities, and whichever one opens up the Zereth Mortis puzzle minigames — I enjoyed the puzzle minigames in Legion and Battle for Azeroth — and ignore all the other categories.

But I haven’t yet gotten the breadcrumb quest to even start Zereth Mortis. I think it’s because I’m currently in Covenants for which I haven’t completed the 9.0 Campaigns and because I haven’t done the opening chapters of the 9.1 Campaign. I should go do the opening chapters of the 9.1 Campaign because I’m getting tired of being ground-bound; it would be nice to be able to fly again. And I just read on Wowhead that there’s been a hotfix that “Each of the four original Covenant campaign questlines now reward a total of 20 additional Renown.” So I should do the Kyrian Campaign with Kaelinda and the Necrolords Campaign with Kaelyla, because those are the Covenants that they aren’t maxxed out in Renown already with. Which is all scrambled up from my original plans, but at this point, eh, whatever….

The Zereth Mortis zone set reminds me of the Vulpera aesthetic, so I tried it out on Khariba, and sure enough, it looks super cute on her:

Choral set with Shadowmoon Cowl and Mok’Morokk’s Beat Stick

Why is it that the LFR coloration of raid sets always seems to be the green one?

They all have silly hats; the Warlock hat is thankfully not offensive anymore, but is rather the silliest of the lot. The Warlock shoulders, robe, and belt are the most interesting. The other two robes are handsome enough, I guess, but feel… plain, somehow. Still, if I can get Kaelinda and Kaelyla’s iLevels up enough, I might eventually go do Sepulcher of the First Ones LFR. Fortunately for me as a Mage, the Priest robe, Warlock shoulders, Warlock robe, and Warlock belt all have lookalike pieces– but the Mage robe does not have a lookalike piece.

~*~*~

Even though I don’t intend to do anything with her in the Shadowlands for a long time yet, I brought Karaelia out to Bastion for the sake of having a character of every armor class positioned to prep for 10.0 — and wherever Karaelia goes, her twin Kaohana goes, too. Both of them have activated Threads of Fate and pledged to the Kyrian.


Karaelia has been wearing her outfit since November of 2020, and Kaohana has been wearing her outfit since February of 2021! They are both rather anxious for some new clothes!

Things my Warlock Wears, part 9 (outfits 81 – 90)

A collection of Transmogrification Kits actually worn in-game by my Blood Elf Warlock. Outfits are listed from most recent to least recent. Items that are no longer obtainable are marked with an asterisk (*).

86) Harvest of Souls

Sinfall Venthyr Hood, Soulbreaker’s Burnished Mantle, Rogue Necromancer’s Drape, Robes of the Black Harvest, Soulbreaker’s Burnished Sash, Footfalls of Memories, Fandral’s Flamescythe (H)
Naturally, I needed to make a Warlock kit with the shoulders from the purple version of the 9.0 Venthyr Cloth kit.

85) Sunwell Warlock

Malefic Sunwell Regalia with Orange Mageweave Shirt and Staff of Infinite Mysteries
Farmed for these ages ago. ‘Bout time I wore ’em already.

84) Shadowed Shards



Horns of the Left Hand Path, Hatefury Mantle, Death Fetish, Frostweave Robe, Stylish Black Shirt, Purple Trophy Tabard of the Illidari/Green Trophy Tabard of the Illidari, Fel-Infused Grips, Aqu’sirr’s Swirling Sash, Sorcerer Slippers, Staff of Beasts
Although the Death Fetish looks magnificent with Kalaneia’s previous kit, this is the outfit I’d been waiting to make for her once she got this backpiece. As I often find myself doing recently, this outfit is actually an update of an earlier outfit (#15, “Shadowfury”).

83) Gilded Corruption


Horns of the Left Hand Path, Pauldrons of Vile Corruption, Heroes’ Plagueheart Robe, Wild Gladiator’s Gloves of Prowess, Imbued Silkweave Cinch, Soulbreaker’s Crimson Slippers, Grave Watcher’s Longstaff; updated version with Death Fetish and Staff of Beasts
The colors on this robe are really quite a nice combination, and the belt coordinates with the robe so delightfully that I almost — almost — wish I could use it with characters other than just my Warlock.
From the first previews of Shadowlands cosmetics, Kalaneia wanted this backpiece item from the Necrolords as a visual representation of fel-fire-tinged soul shards. Just being a Necrolord wasn’t enough, however; she also had to grind to Exalted with the Maldraxxus zone faction, the Undying Army. It was worth it, though, for how gorgeously the Death Fetish coordinates with this outfit!

82) Devouring Plague

Onyx Glare-Reducers, Devouring Pellicle Shoulderpads, Heroes’ Plagueheart Robe, Imbued Silkweave Cinch, Soulbreaker’s Crimson Slippers, Ulthalesh (PvP, 1st tint)
As these are Warlock Tier lookalike shoulders, naturally my Warlock insisted that she get to wear them, too.
Sure, yeah, “Devouring Plague” is actually a Shadow Priest spell — but it was the right name for this Warlock outfit.

81) Fel Phoenix


Heritage of the Sin’dorei with Harvester’s Court Hood, Drape of the Refreshing Winds, Felheart Robes, Scepter of Sargeras (upgraded, 1st tint)
When I thought of this, I wondered why I hadn’t thought of it already.
Also looks pretty boss with the Soulbreaker’s Crimson Hood.

Felfume Robe

The LFR version of Warlords of Draenor‘s Hellfire Citadel raid awarded different clothing than the Normal, Heroic, and Mythic versions. Furthermore, it only had one set for each armor type, rather than tier sets for each class — a forerunner of the raid gear model used in Battle for Azeroth and the first two tiers of Shadowlands. Also during Warlords of Draenor, Horde and Alliance got access to the same Combatant’s (lower tier PvP) appearances on alternating PvP seasons — the Horde’s Wild Combatant’s gear has the same appearance as the Alliance’s Warmongering Combatant’s gear, and vice versa.
