Valorous Golden Paladin Transmog

After weeks and weeks and weeks of making Lightning Steel Ingots, I finally got my Lionheart Executioner, Reborn made!  With gearing being so tedious this expansion, I haven't really focused on any of my characters' iLevel in months.  This weapon is actually the highest level item I have on any of my 5 90's, lol!  So, I thought it only fitting that I make a mog for such an epic sword.  This mog is not that mog, but something else I put together while browsing MogIt :D  I liked it so much, I actually went farming for the gear.  Draynee hasn't really had a new mog since I set her up with that fantastic pink and purple look right after mogging came out!

I was looking through chest-pieces and something about the Phantom Armor was speaking to me.  After staring at for awhile, I noticed the small aqua accents on the back.  They reminded me of the Paladin tier 7 set, and an outfit was born!

Here's the look with an awesome mace I'd love to have, but I don't think I can 2-man heroic 25 ICC yet ;) 

Shoulder - Valorous Redmption Spaulders

Chest - Phantom Armor

Hands - Valorous Redemption Gloves

Waist - Girdle of Unity

Legs - Inscribed Legplates of the Aldor

Feet - Poignant Sabatons

Mace - Cryptmaker

 Prot pally version, with Malevolent Gladiator's Clasp of Cruelty (waist), Valorous Redemption Greaves (legs), Sunward Crest and Crusader's Glory.

One of these days I'll have to slug it out in PVP long enough to get this belt!  I know paladins have been asking to carry around their Librams on their waist forever, so this belt being a nod to that is awesome.

Fly Draenei Friday - All you!

Happy happy joy joy, it's Friday! Hey, this is my 100th post!  Can you believe it, 100 posts about fly draenei?!  How awesome is that? LOL! I've gotten quite a few fabulous mogs from you guys lately, and got a little behind on posting, so this week's FDF is all reader mogs! Thanks so much for sending them in, you guys rock :D

First up is reader Dan, whose fly draenei is rocking some invisiboots with her mog.  Dan said he was pretty excited when he found these 'boots', because so many of them make hooves look weird.  I agree!  I really hate those stumpy short boots there seems to be a million of.  If you're looking for some invisiboots for you next mog, check out my Mog Companion, you'll find a category for them under each armor type!

Head - Steamworker's Goggles
Shoulders - Crusader's Pauldrons
Chest - Phantom Armor 
Wrist - N/A (something small)
Hands - Protector Gauntlets
Waist - Lambent Scale Girdle 
Legs - Mail Combat Leggings
Feet - Tsunami Boots

Nicole sent me two awesome mogs to share!  This is her mage Tely in a pretty unique take on the Cindercloth set. She paired the Cindercloth Vest and Pants with the Mantle of False Virtue and Archivist's Gloves from the HoT instances, and Kavan's Foresaken Treads.

She also sent her hunter Felinora in some of my favorite mail pieces, the Ebonhold set with a perfectly coordinate pet!

Next up is Cherokee, who left this fantastic picture in the comments of the Submit Your Fly Draenei page.  She is fierce in the chest, legs and gloves from the Ornate set, Burnished Girdle and the Theramore Tabard.

Rounding out today's awesome FDF is Nora, who also left her super fly draenei Barlafumble on that page (hint, hint, it's a great way to send me your pics!).  This mog is one of those cool shaman/hunter mashups, some hunter tier 7 pieces with those badass shaman Tier 5 recolor shoulders!  Also, another Invisiboots sighting ;)

Shoulders: Coral-Barbed Shoulderpads
Chest: Vest of Mounting Assault 
Gloves: Valorous Cryptstalker Handguards
Belt: Cinch of the World Shaman
Legs: Valorous Cryptstalker Legguards
Boots: Tsunami Boots
Bow: Golden Bow of Quel'Thalas






Thanks again everyone for sending in your pics, and for reading Pretty Fly for a Draenei!  I've been working a lot on my mog companion site lately, but I hope to get some new mogs posted soon!

Fly Draenei Friday - T-T-T-Transmoggg!!

Whew, it feels like I haven't put together a FDF in FOR-EVER!! It's good to be back ;)

This week I have a T-T-T-Transmoggg from Daniel.  That was the subject of his e-mail, I just had to use it as the title!  His death knight Athenastraza is rocking a few of my favorite DK pieces, the Tier 10 25-man shoulders and legs, along with a few DK 'starting zone' pieces and a fantastic pair of blue boots.

Shoulders - Sanctified Scourgelord Shoulderplates
Chest - Saronite War Plate
Hands - Bloodbane's Gauntlets of Command
Waist - The Plaguebringer's Girdle
Legs - Sanctified Scourgelord Legplates
Feet - Rock Furrow Boots
Axe - Vicious Gladiator's Decapitator

The Tier 10 death knight set has always been my favorite.  It was pretty epic for me at the time to be raiding Icecrown Citadel and be building a set that looked just like Arthas' gear.  My DK, Lideyviah, has the shoulders and legs mogged also.  A sad moment for me was losing out on what I will always swear were matching blue boots for the set.  I can't remember if they dropped from the heroic loot-ship, or heroic Sindragosa, but both of those loot drops now match the purple set.  The night they dropped I had to pass them to the other DK since the boots I had were better.  When trying to convince my guild leader to do the heroic fight again so I could have a shot at the boots he said "I'm not doing that damn fight on heroic again just so you can stand around Dal and look pretty!"  Well, this was before transmog so....  I can't find any record of the boots ever being blue, so I'm just hoping my hopes were wrong, but that sad story still sticks with me :/

ANYWAY!  Thanks Daniel for sending in your awesome mog and sending us all down memory lane XD  Remember, if you'd like to be featured in a FDF of your own, send me some pics!

And now for some super fly peeps from Proudmoore!

Keelien made me do a double-take, she looks just like Samaramon!  It's an awesome mog, be sure and check out Sam's post.		Olyne looks fierce in her Dragonstalker Armer with Terror Pit Girdle. The Gladiator's Heavy Crossbow is a great weapon choice!

Lenalee's mog is a nice mix of old and new gear.  Peerless Armor and Ceremonial Leather Loincloth with Swamp Shoulders and Grower's Gloves.		Aashiyana is hot in her fiery plate mog. Conqueror's Epaulets, Girdle and Greaves, Glorious Breastplate, Hyperion Gauntlets,  and Legplates of Blazing Light.

I'm Back + Mog Companion!

Hey everyone!  It's been awhile, but I'm finally back from vacation!  Sorry I didn't have more stuff to post while I was gone, I was hoping for some more guest posts.  I loved having Legolene and Satsuri's posts featured here, and it would be super awesome to have guest posts in the future just for funsies :D  If any of you would ever like to write one, just let me know!  Any draenei-related subject matter accepted, not just transmog.

While I was gone, I was able to log into WoW occasionally with my dinky little laptop.  I had the graphics slider set all the way to Low and it was still overheating!  I can't believe I ever raided 25's on that thing :O  The up-side was that when I got home and logged in I was in love all over again with how beautiful the game looks on a halfway decent computer!

So, I don't have a mog post today, but I want to let you all know about another little project I've been working on for like, ever.  I've been messing around with it for almost a year, and I keep shying away from talking about it because it's just not "done".  But here, I'm gonna do it!!!!  Introducing...

www.wowmogcompanion.com

I got the idea for this site one day while wondering what all the colors of hoods were in game.  I started keeping pictures on my computer, and thought I'd grow it into a visual database for transmog.  It's sort of like MogIt, but without the dressing room.  I actually used MogIt to take all my pictures, so thanks to those folks ;)

The basic concept is a quick way to find all of the models of a certain piece of gear quickly.  Say you want to see all of the plate dresses, they're all there together!  It's also great if you're wearing a flared-sleeve top and want to see what color gloves come in a short model, to keep the sleeve showing.

So, that's the gist of it!  I'm still working on some of the categories, including adding sets, but I think it's time for my Mog Companion to start companion-ing... or something like that, lol!  Check it out and let me know what you think, I'd really appreciate any feedback :D

Fly Draenei Friday - Satsuri's Picks

Hey guys!  I'm still on vacation, so my fly pal Satsuri put together an awesome FDF for us!  Make sure and check out her blog for some awesome mog stuff.  You can also read about when we spotted each other in Stormwind in this Fly Draenei Friday :) Thanks so much Satsuri!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wouldn't be Friday without a Fly Draenei Friday post! I'm Satsuri from over at Satsuri's Style where I mainly post about transmogrification. Draynee was kind enough to let me post on FDF!

I see a lot of different transmogs on my server and can't seem to keep my finger off my screenshot key ;). Here are a few fly draenei that have caught my eye:

Asperations has a really pretty plate set that reminds me of a sunset. She used the Avenger's Battlegear Set from AQ (sorry, Paladin only) paired with a sweet axe, Gladiator's Decapitator, and a guild tabard.
 

Gemíní is another pretty fly paladin in the Valorous Redemption set and the rare Tabard of the Lightbringer.


Nazzryth has done one of my favorite things: he transmogged the Replica Shado-Pan Helm! And how cool is it that he put it together with the Vengeful Gladiator's priest set? I never thought of doing that. Now, go get exalted with the Shado-Pan and get your helm today!

Rainÿ's transmog reminds me of the sweet set Draynee made for her hunter recently. Rainÿ makes black mail look pretty cool on a shaman! She mogged the gloves, belt, pants, and boots from the Slayer's Mail set seen here. The Skeletal Shoulders and Double Link Tunic complete the look.

Last but not least, a leather set! I am excited to see draenei running around in leather now. Jubilee looks good in the recolored Tier 1 rogue set, Tabard of the Shattered Sun, and the Orca-Hunter's Harpoon.

Legolene's Fashion Dilemma

Hey fly peeps!  I'm on vacation this week, so please enjoy this guest post from Legolene! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone this is Legolene from WoW Adventurer and I need some advice with my latest transmog.  As a Draenei who is relatively new to the whole transmogrification game, I find myself at a crossroads as to what do do with my fire mages latest outfit.  I currently have this red and gold theme going on, solely inspired by the shoulders Mantle of False Virtue which was a drop from Archbishop Benedictus in Hour of Twilight.  Since I decided I really liked the shoulders, and the red theme was somehow fitting with my mage's main spec which is fire, I've been sporting the Red Linen Robe as my main outfit.

But it's time for a change, and this is where I need the readers of Pretty Fly for a Draenei to help me out.

Do I switch to the Replica Magisters Robes and leave it at that? I really love this robe, with the gold accents, but isn't it a little, I dunno, two seasons ago?

Or do I go with this fab new blue and gold theme, and either keep the red and gold shoulders, or start looking for some new blue and gold ones?

Can anyone suggest cloth shoulders that would go well with this robe, the Mistscape Robe? I could really use some advice here.

Thanks Pretty Fly Draenei for allowing me to ask your readers for help with my fashion dilemma.

Badass Hunter Mog

Last week Kamalia posted a great round-up of her Noblegarden brightly colored transmogs.  My favorite was 'Dressed to Kill II', and looking at it reminded me how much I love the Double Link Tunic.  I never had much luck finding one on the AH, or getting its look-alike Avenger's Armor to drop out of RFK.  But, after Kam's post I was inspired again, and imagine my luck, there was one for sale!  I quickly snapped it up and got to work on a mog.  I recently discovered these awesome black gloves from Ulduar, and the look grew from there.  It's not something I expected to like so much, but I LOVE it, and since I can't come up with another name, it's just going to be the 'Badass Hunter' Mog :D  I mean that gun, is just so, so, badass!  I'm especially excited because I've been trying to come up with something else for my hunter to wear for ages, and always ended up mogging back in to my red outfit.

So, here it is!  Ulduar was very good to me last night, dropping the shoulders and gloves in one run.  When I headed to Karazhan for the gun, I though there was no way it would drop.  I made my way to the opera, the curtain drew and it was actually the Big Bad Wolf.  Not getting my hopes up, I ran around as a little gnome while my pet killed him, then... omg... he dropped the gun!  I guess sometimes a mog is meant to be!  The boots in this shot are 'temporary' until the ones I want drop, or I give up, lol, but I've included the other boots in the pic below.

Shoulders - Mantle of Fiery Vengeance

Chest - Double Link Tunic

Hands - Gloves of Taut Grip

Waist - Verek's Leash

Legs - Savage Gladiator Leggings

Feet - Tempered Mercury Greaves

Gun - Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle

Feet (above) - Savage Gladiator Greaves

wowhead

My favorite thing about this mog though, is that it looks good from the back, lol!  I came to realize that I spend most of the time looking at the back of my characters, and that's where a lot of other mogs I tried for my hunter didn't work out.  I really thought Drainee would stay in the red/orange mog forever, but I think this is a keeper ;)

Now, I'm off to try and install the mute annoying sounds "addon", cause there is nothing worse than those damn gun sounds!

Oh, and here's my pet I always use, Knucklehead. He's a good guy, and coordinates with both my favorite mogs :P

LFM - Fly Draenei Guest Posts!

The Steam Pools Resort (image via Warcraft Less Traveled)

Hey everyone! I'm going to be on a little vacation away from Azeroth for the next few weeks, and I am looking for a few super fly guest posts to put up while I'm gone! If your interested, send me an e-mail and I'll give you the deets.  It would be awesome if anyone wants to do an FDF from their realm, btw :D

Thanks!
Draynee

Fly Draenei Friday - Fly GUY Friday

Hanging out on Twitter can be a lot of fun, you get to talk to other wow-players, keep up with blogs, and sometimes even see awesome mog pictures!  This was posted a few days ago by @Khalior, and it is just too damn cool!  I asked him if I could use the pic here, and he said go for it, so I decided to do a fly guy themed FDF!  They are few and far between, and for some reason, most male draenei aren't mogged.  I managed to find enough for a whole post though, way to go to these players for being so super fly :D

This is Khalior's Brawler transmog, I love the hashtags he included with it too: #saurokstyle #scaley #punchyouindaface. Lol!  This looks perfect for the Brawlers Guild, and yeah, if you're going to be punching someone in the face, why not do it with giant spikey fists of doom!

Head - Gaze of Gara'jal

Shoulders - Sarjun Spaulders

Chest - Sarjun Chestguard

Hands - Sarjun Handwraps

Waist - Sarjun Belt

Legs - Sarjun Leggings

Feet - Sarjun Boots

Fists Weapons - Theldurin's Fist


So cool!  Thanks for letting me share!  Now, here are some rare-spawns - fly draenei guys from Proudmoore ;)

I've seen quite a few females in these pieces, but never such a fly guy, Astræos is really rockin' this look! Circle of Flame, Mantle of Three Terrors, Cindercloth Vest, Gloves and Pants, and Angelista's Grasp.		Gorubeza has a great mix of BC pally items here, even though he's uh.. a death knight :D Brighthelm of Justice,  Pauldrons of the Argent Sentinel, Breastplate and  Legplates of the Righteous, Glorious Gauntlets of Crestfall and Blue's Greaves of the Righteous Guardian.

Caspirne looks ready for some serious hunting in his Gronnstalker's set with a coordinating Guild Tabard.		Here's a two-fer! Faruq and Veno seem to be having some sort of important conversation here.  It's probably about how great they look ;)

Lightning-Forged Reborn Weapons

Much like the re-released troll gear I posted about a little while ago, the weapons I'm going to feature here were taken out of the game with good old patch 4.0, the pre-Cataclysm patch.  These weapons were formerly made with a specialization of blacksmithing, Weaponsmithing.  Back in the day, both leatherworking and blacksmithing had 3 specializations you could train into, sort of like Gnomish vs. Goblin Engineering.  I'm not sure why they took out lw & bs but left engineering in, but I suppose they just weren't as "fun".  But, these weapons are back now with patch 5.2.  I'm really excited about it because I saw the Blazeguard used in someone's Mogolympics set, and have wanted it ever since!

You can learn the recipes by visiting the Isle of Thunder and killing Itoka. Your server needs to have unlocked stage 4 of the Isle to access him.  He's a little tricky to kill, but there is usually other people killing him for the daily.  He will drop a quest item, Strange Metal Ingot, that you turn in at the actual Thunderforge.  You will get the recipes for the 'first stage' of each weapon, a level 463 version.  After you make a 463 version, you will learn the recipe for an upgraded version which is level 476, followed by a level 502 weapon that you learn upon making the 476.  So, these weapons aren't too bad to get either for transmog or upgrades.  All you need is a level 90 with 600 blacksmithing!  No special requirements for unlocking the island, although, you will need a lot of Ghost Iron bars to make your Lightning Steel Ingot every day ;)
