There once was a Warlock... who wore gold?

Perditaxnitt, Sentinels-US

I put this outfit together in record time. I got pretty lucky with my belt drop, and the staff was something I just randomly picked up while I was in a Sunwell run. I love it. Before I get into too much more detail, here's the breakdown:

Chest: Chan's Imperial Robes (see the note in the explanation about availability of this piece)
Head: Circle of Flame
Shoulders: Gossamer Shoulderpads (still debating whether to stick with these, or pick up the also matching Silksand Shoulder Pads when I see them on the AH)
Belt: Sash of Mortal Desire
Shoes: Kurkenstoks (Oh, how I wish there were a horde-available moggable version of these)
Gloves: Gossamer Gloves
Bracer: Laughing Skull Bracelets
Pants: Doesn't matter because they won't show! YAY! After the nightmare finding something to put under the leia robes, this was a relief!
Staff: Golden Staff of the Sin'dorei

At first glance, it's actually a pretty easy set to get. Until you browse through the comments section of Chan's Imperial Robes, which are incidentally one of my all-time favorite robes in the game, and find that they seem to have disappeared off the loot tables. I regularly check the AH for these and I've not seen a set in ages, but I did have a few sets stashed away so I was quite fortunate to be able to put this together. The robes ARE BoE so if you are lucky enough to find a set, snatch them up post-haste. Even if you never use them, you may be able to sell them to other transmogrification junkies for a VERY high price due to the fact that they are evidently no longer dropping.

And if you're hoping to see the robes drop again, don't be afraid to Let Blizzard Know! This is one case where I think it's a damned shame if these robes are gone for good, because they're absolutely gorgeous.

Transmogrification and Me

As seems to happen lately, I did not get a timely start on this blog and so am kind of behind the times when it comes to up-to-the-minute news on Transmogrification, but you will all forgive me, right?

On the day that transmog came out, I did have most of my outfit collected, as you can see at the left. The chestpiece/robes are the Robes of Insight, a lvl 42 BoE that happens to be my favorite robe model EVER. I would have preferred something like Robes of the Guardian Saint, but since there are NO pants that match or don't show underneath, I decided to go with these because they match Ancestral Woollies in color, and therefore the tiny amount of cloth that does show looks like it is just part of the dress. Here are the rest of the items I'm sporting:

Head: Archmage Headpiece (I would love to have been able to use Forever-Lovely rose here, but alas, it isn't eligible for transmogrification)
Shoulder: Greenweave Mantle
Bracer: Agamaggan's Gift (any tiny bracer would work)
Gloves: Soulcloth Gloves
Belt: Ruthless Gladiator's Cord of Accuracy
Boots: Silksand Boots
Main Hand: Life and Death (prettiest sword in the game, IMO)
Off-hand: Penelope's Rose - Evidently this item is no longer available in game, which is a shame, but there are other flowers and "simple" off-hand frill to be had.

And there you have it, the PvE outfit for my main. Oddly, I've not come up with anything for her PvP getup because I'm having trouble getting attached to any of the other outfits- the problem I have with cloth is that I tend to get attached to specific robe models, and then find that there's not much to match them with. In my next post, we'll take a look at my Paladin, whose outfit was born of a desire to match her Shield and Mace.
