Rogue Transmogs: The Leathers Collection

Tyrgarde2_1

Tyrgarde has treated us to two transmog sets along similar lines. He suggests that you decide which to wear depending on your race.

Leathers of a Respectful Savage

The first version will have you running instances from various expansions as well as making purchases in your Garrison.

“This one looks good on Worgen, Undead, and Trolls. Races with “normal” feet will maybe want to change the boot transmog. Seems odd running around in your bare feet. I didn’t have a theme in mind when I started it. I had the shoulders and wanted some other pieces to match colors, nothing too special for this set. The black cloak with trim adds a bit of something to the set.”

Helm: Opportunist’s Leather Helm – purchased from Fedryen Swiftspear, Cenarion Expedition Quartermaster, in Zangarmarsh.
Shoulders: Dark Phoenix Spaulders – Tier token from Majordomo Staghelm OR Shoulderpads of the Forgotten Gate – Baleroc. Both in Firelands Normal.
Cloak: Cloak of Darkness – Leatherworking.
Chest: Heroes’ Bonescythe Breastplate – Archavon the Stone Watcher in Vault of Archavon.
Shirt: anything red or brown
Hands: Thunderlord Gloves – BoA transmog piece purchased from War Mill or Dwarven Bunker in your Garrison.
Belt: Bloodfang Belt – Vaelastrasz the Corrupt in Blackwing Lair.
Legs: Heroes’ Bonescythe Legplates – Archavon the Stone Watcher in Vault of Archavon.
Feet: Thunderlord Sabatons – BoA transmog piece purchased from War Mill or Dwarven Bunker in your Garrison.
Weapons: Quickening Blade of the Prince – Kael’thas Sunstrider in Heroic Magisters’ Terrace. A good alternative is Bloodvenom Blade – Deathbringer Saurfang in 25 Normal Icecrown Citadel.

Leathers of Resumed Battle

This version shares pieces with the above set, but switches out a few key items for a slightly different look.

“When I make a transmog set, I try to match up a few colors together that’s on an item. So this one has a few dashes of red, some light brown and grey. Looks particular good on a race with a straight back, Blood Elves, Human, Female Orc. But still looks okay on any hunched over race.”

Helm: None
Shoulders: Spaulders of Resumed Battle – Noth the Plaguebringer or Gluth in 10 Normal Naxxramas.
Cloak: Cloak of Darkness – Leatherworking.
Chest: Heroes’ Bonescythe Breastplate – Archavon the Stone Watcher in Vault of Archavon.
Hands: Heroes’ Bonescythe Gauntlets – Archavon the Stone Watcher in Vault of Archavon.
Belt: Girdle of Unconquered Glory – Hans’gar and Franzok in Heroic Blackrock Foundry.
Legs: Heroes’ Bonescythe Legplates – Archavon the Stone Watcher in Vault of Archavon.
Feet: Boots of the Worshiper – Grand Widow Faerlina or Gluth in 10 Normal Naxxramas.

Rogue Transmogs: The Engineer

Ieatpaperbag1

Ieatpaperbag puts us in a setting with an engineering transmog that looks as battle effective as it is totally at home in the workshop. A choice of weapons makes this a truly practical and utilitarian outfit.

“I was going for an engineering look; the engineering goggle for Warlords of Draenor” looked so awesome, so I wanted to see if I could find a “look” to go with it. I also wanted to find something different that wasn’t simply all tier xx,” Ieatpaperbag explains and notes that he made heavy use of an old blog post by Anne Stickney, now of Blizzard Watch, which you can find here: Transmogrifying a tribute to engineering.

Helm: Night-Vision Mechshades – Soulbound from Engineering. There are some non-engineering (but less cool) options such as Mimiron’s Flight Goggles or Emerald Beholder Eye.
Shoulder: Shoulder of the Ogre-Nabber – This is a reward from a Feralas quest. If you’ve completed the quest check for similar models.
Chest: Mixologist’s Tunic – Plugger Spazzring in Blackrock Depths.
Hands: Safecracker’s Gloves – random drop from Cataclysm instances (check the AH).
Belt: Belt of Feigned Joy – quest reward from several level ~40 quests.
Legs: Light Leather Pants – Leatherworking.
Feet: Boots of the Neverending Path – purchased from Veteran Crusader Aliocha Segard (Argent Crusade) in Icecrown.

Weapons:
Peacekeeper Blade – Confessor’s Cache or Eadric’s Cache in Trial of the Champion.
Sorthalis, Hammer of the Watchers – XT-002 Deconstructor in 25 hard-mode Ulduar.
Aledar’s Battlestar – Eadric’s Cache in Trial of the Champion.
Flarethorn – Gorosh the Dervish or High Justice Grimstone in Blackrock Depths (awful to farm but pretty worth it)
Ravenclaw Harbinger – random world drop from Mists of Pandaria (check the AH)

Rogue Transmogs: 99 Problems

Mickjabber1

Just because you are a rogue doesn’t mean you have to dress all sneaky all the time. Sometimes you just want to be, well, loud. Mickjabber brings us his take on the rogue look with goblin style.

“As you can tell I wasn’t really going for the subtle look here, basically I figured a Goblin Rogue would want to look good whilst he slays things, something with a certain amount of panache, something that a small person can make a big impact with!”

Well Mickjabber, you’ll certainly make an impact!

This set will take you through low level dungeons, Firelands, and require some good world drop or Auction House luck.

Head: Stylin Purple Hat – Leatherworking
Shoulders: Mantle of Autumn – Laj in The Botanica
Back: Netherfury Cape – Warp Splinter in The Botanica
Chest : Songbird Blouse – Hearthsinger Forresten in Stratholme
Hands: Gloves of the Fang – random drop from Wailing Caverns (check the AH)
Waist : Headhunters Belt – random world drop (check the AH)
Legs : Leggings of the Fang – Lord Cobrahn in Wailing Caverns
Feet: Headhunter Slippers – random world drop (check the AH)

Daggers : Alysra’s  Razor – Alysrazor in Heroic Firelands

Rogue Transmogs: The Mishmash Assassin

Launja

This time around, Launja brings us her take on practical wear. She has certainly nailed that rogue instinct for finding a space where it’s easy to fade into the background! “I wanted this set to look practical and stealthy,” she tells us, “so I steered clear of bright colors, revealing cuts, and over-the-top shoulder size.

“It’s not supposed to look perfectly seamless, either: rather a full suit of standard issue battlegear you might get in a military stealth unit, it’s something the assassin has assembled herself from various parts, for her personal use.

“My personal favorite are the shoulderpads: they conceal spring-loaded spectral blades ready to rake the face of anyone foolish enough to get too close. No still picture can do justice to the animation. I literally jumped the first time I saw it go off.”

We agree, those shoulders are pretty awesome.

Head: Wicked Leather Headband – Leatherworking
Shoulders: Treacherous Shoulderpads – XT-002 Deconstructor in Ulduar
Back: Furious Gladiator’s Cloak of Victory – I got this from PvP back in Season 6, but several drops and craftables have the same look. (Such as Auchenai Death Shroud” – Avatar of the Martyred in Auchenai Crypts)
Chest: Fusion Slasher Chestguard – Lei Shen – Throne of Thunder Raid Finder. The Raid Finder tier 15 chest (Nine-Tailed Tunic) also has the same look
Hands: Netherblade Gloves – Tier 4 token from The Curator in Karazhan
Waist: Dusky Belt – Leatherworking
Legs: Syreian’s Leggings – Syreian the Bonecarver in Grizzly Hills
Feet: Bloodthirsty Leather Boots – Leatherworking

Sword: Scorpion Sting – A friendly stranger just handed me one of these while idling in town. It’s a BoE drop, so the Auction House might be your best bet.
Dagger: Blood Weeper – Devourer of Souls in The Forge of Souls Heroic. These also work well with Enchanter’s Illusion – Hidden for the ultimate assassin looks (blades coated with non-reflective black paint)!

Rogue Transmogs: The Fel Rogue

Terrorskull In honor of Legion our very first transmog is by Terrorskull whose guild updated their Guild Tabard in anticipation the the upcoming expansion. Terrorskull designed a transmog to fit with the Legion theme and was generous enough to share the details. One of the neat things about this transmog is the variety of weapons that work with it; it truly becomes a mog that will work with every spec. Terrorskull went all over creation to obtain these items so expect to be running plenty of old content if you want to replicate his look. Obviously not everyone’s guild will have a conveniently Legiony tabard so we’ve included a few alternative options for both the tabard and cloak.

Head: Cursed Vision of Sargeras – Illidan Stormrage in Black Temple
Shoulders: Shoulderpads of the Monolith – Kologarn in Ulduar
Back: Cloak of Coordination – Sold by guild vendors
Chest: Tunic of Assassination – Pathaleon the Calculator in The Mechanar
Tabard: Guild Tabard – Sold by tabard vendors
Hands: Handgrips of Assassination – Aeonus & Temporus in The Black Morass
Waist: Belt of the Twilight Assassin – Sold by Valerie Langrom in Dalaran
Legs: Leggings of Assassination – Murmur in Shadow Labyrinth
Feet: Scouting Boots – Level 20 zone drop. Check out similar models for low level quest reward options.

Sword: Fang of Twilight – Valiona & Theralion in The Bastion of Twilight
Fist Weapon: The Bladefist (Normal) – Kargath Bladefist in Highmaul
Dagger: Shard of Azzinoth – Illidan Stormrage in Black Temple
Bonus Weapons: The Twin Blades of Azzinoth – Illidan Stormrage in Black Temple
