Street Style: Druid of the Moon

Street Style is the section where I am posting outfits of my customers or players I meet in game. I don't mention their names, but all these sets are made by other players, not me.

This outfit is clearly built around the guild tabard and it also suits this particular race/class combo the best: leaves on the bracers and a tree on the tabard - symbols of a druid, the moon on the headpiece brings associations with Elune, the moon goddess worshipped by the night elves.

Head: [Conqueror's Nightsong Headpiece]
Shoulders: [Burden of Time]

Chest: [Murloc Scale Breastplate]
Hands: [Embossed Leather Gloves]
Wrist: [Lucid Dream Bracers]
Waist: [Taut Dragonhide Belt]
Legs: [Embossed Leather Pants]
Feet: [Standard Issue Prisoner Shoes]
Main-Hand Weapon: [Scepter of Azshara]
Off-Hand Weapon: [Desertwalker Cane]

This is the best pirate costume I have seen yet. The choice of pants is so good, the shirt adds an interesting stripe detail to the chest, although it works only for male characters, and the amount of red in the outfit looks just right.

Head: [First Mate Hat]
Shoulders: [Shadow Council Mantle]
Back: [Ancient Bloodmoon Cloak]

Chest: [Buccaneer's Vest]
Shirt: [Purple Martial Shirt]
Hands: [Buccaneer's Gloves]

Bloodmail Legguards, or How I Took Part In the WOW Factor Show

noreply@blogger.com (Argo aka EPP) — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:21:00 +0000

My character Looksgood at the show, Top 15 (picture courtesy of Keelhaul)

Two weeks ago I took part in the WoW Factor show on Lightbringer-US. You can read the follow-up on WoW Roleplay Gear and interviews with the two winners on Disenchanting Azeroth, but I would like to share my personal impression with you.

The event was big and colorful, the atmosphere was friendly. Though I got my little share of hate: when I was announced as one of those who made it to the 2nd round, someone from the crowd said that I should be disqualified for messing up the xmog market. Haha!

As I said everyone was friendly. As far as I know, there was a person from Arthas-US, where the previous show took place. They were going around making compliments to the contestants and giving valuable tips on how to make outfits more impressive. Some participants made compliments on my outfit and I assume others were also chatting with each other. There were a couple of my customers too. Turak made it to the Top 5 with the outfit that I posted earlier. Fumidus was in the Top 15 with the look based on Abjurer's Robe. He told me he was building his costume around the legendary staff. It is exciting to get to know how players make their outfits, and such events are a great opportunity to ask them to tell you their stories.

Burnished set + the Bloodmail Legguards

And now let me tell you about the most versatile pants in game. You can guess it by the title of the post that I am talking about Bloodmail Legguards. They are mail and a part of the Bloodmail Regalia that you can get from Scholomance mini-bosses. They are also the only solid black pants in game and hunters and shamans are very lucky to have such an option for xmogging. Just as in real life you can easily pair black pants with almost any kind of shirt or jacket, the same is true about the Bloodmail Legguards in WoW. I was already using them before to add contrast to the Burnished set.

In my outfit that I made for the show I also used the legguards for the same purpose but with a little twist. There are 3 mail belt models that look like shorts: War Paint Waistband, Spiked Chain Belt and Grunt's Belt. I was playing with the idea of pairing one of them with the Bloodmail Legguards for a while. Too bad that my favorite recolor that matches the draenei skin tone so well - Outrunner's - is the only one with the simple belt, so I had to go with another set and chose Grunt's. The Skullflame Shield seemed the best color match and then I decided to add even more spikes to the look and got Herod's Shoulder and Pronged Reaver. For some reason the fiery weapon enchant is not showing on the picture, but it was there to match the flames on the shield. As a final touch I added a Red Swashbuckler's Shirt to seal the look.

Here are the Wowhead link and the full list of gear I used:

Shoulders: [Herod's Shoulder]
Chest: [Grunt's Chestpiece]
Shirt: [Red Swashbuckler's Shirt]
Hands: [Grunt's Handwraps]
Waist: [Grunt's Belt]

Legs: [Bloodmail Legguards]
Feet: [Grunt's Ankle Wraps]
Weapon: [Pronged Reaver]
Shield: [Skullflame Shield]
Female draenei bonus: haircut style "Sassy"

The only problem I had with this look was that it was for my restoration spec and did not match blue and green shaman spell effects. That is why I already change it for another outfit which I will post soon.

And one last tip: as we know Scholomance is getting revamped in MoP, so it is better to get those pants now, just in case.

Meet My Xmogging Banker

noreply@blogger.com (Argo aka EPP) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:29:00 +0000

I'm Argo aka EPP and I write the blog Epic Penny Pouch. Right now I'm running xmogging business on a few realms. The best part of it for me is watching how players actually use the gear they buy. Almost every day my customers surprise me with their creativity and I decided to make a new blog to share it with you. I will be posting outfits that I like, but this post will be a little different.

I think it would me appropriate for the very first post here to introduce my main xmogging banker. So... please, meet Looksgood, Lightbringer-US. She is a draenei shaman. She likes to heal (resto) and kill (enhancement). I rolled her when Power Word Guild was formed, but for some reason decided to stay out of it. As you may guess by her name she was meant to be an xmogging banker from the start, but, as it often happens with my toons, I began to actually play her - doing dungeons and questing. Usually I get bored with the new toon around level 30, but this time I decided to try healing for the very first time and was hooked. I'm proud to tell you that my girl hit the level cap two days ago and healed her first Cata heroic today. She is the only max level character I have outside my home server. Honestly, it feels weird.

I can add just a few quick facts to her story. Looksgood made about 200k gold from xmogging. She likes to ride her chopper which she bought at level 40 just because it matched her outfit at that moment. She thinks the wolf form is cool and it's hard to persuade her to stay in the human form at least while in a city to show off her oufits. Speaking of outfits, she has two - one for each spec.

"Killing outfit" (aka DPS):

Shoulders: [Spaulders of the Black Arrow]
Chest: [Vest of the Den Watcher]
Hands: [Cowpoke's Riding Gloves] / [Mail Combat Gauntlets]
Waist: [Fortified Belt]
Legs: [Mail Combat Leggings]
Feet: [Myrmidon's Greaves]
Weapons: [Sun-Forged Cleaver] (Not xmogged, but I got it ready for when I have axes equipped)

"Healing outfit":

Shoulders: [Lightning-Rod Pauldrons]
Chest: [Bonelink Armor]
Hands: [Bonelink Gauntlets]
Waist: [Girdle of Gale Force]
Legs: [Kilt of Rolling Thunders]
Shield: [Mountainside Buckler]
Weapons: [Lifeforce Hammer] (Not xmogged, just what I have equipped now)

Those are Looksgood's current outfits, but being an xmogging banker she was trying to look good at any level. At different times she was looking like this:

1. Scouting 2. Tribal Vest + Mystic Sarong 3. Bloodmail (dungeon set)

4. Bonelink 5. Burnished + Bloodmail pants 6. Mercurial
