so it goes! i go to make a post about sets and then its key time or dinner time or raid time. Or i just get distracted.
there are many options! but i am going to talk about the grey and common mogs we can now use!
Read more…Many a hot minute
since i’ve posted! damn near a year. i just spend all my time in keys or raiding or farming that actually talking about the sets falls to way side.
Read more…Theme? Purple
Honestly, purple all day everyday. can’t help it. i try to deviate and then like, 2 days later. purple!
I’m easy okay. gimme a face covering cowl and Greenhorn’s Footguards and i’m in fat city.
- Desolate Scale Helm (Profession)
- Thorny Bramblemail Pauldrons (LFR)
- Selfless Wings of the Ascended
- Arcanochitin Hauberk (LFR)
- Mistshroud Gauntlets
- War Belt of the Sentinel Army (or ICC belt)
- Leggings of Broken Magic (N)
- Greenhorn’s Footguards
- Doubt Tinged Warbow
I just really wanted to use my wings too. I don’t mog them half enough. I love them but they still clip into most shoulders and i do usually like seeing my bow on my back when i’m not in a fight.
Two other sets i’ve played with recently are for a friend. he wanted help making a white set and like. there is basically no white mail armor.
Not sure what i think of it, it all works. mostly. just kinda. something.
- Gardbrace of Fractured Reality (H)
- White Swashbuckler’s Shirt
- Vicegrip of the Unrepentant (H)
- Waistguard of Interminable Unity (H)
- Huntmaster Sullivan’s Greaves
- Shal’dorei Weedstompers (LFR)
Something something the white of the shirt is whiter than the pants, the boots are more copper than gold, blah blah. it still all works. possibly.
More pieces i use often in a slightly different formation!
- Pauldrons of Desolation
- Earthpeace Breastplate
- Expeditionary Mail Gauntlets
- Chain of Consumable Power (N)
- Wild Gladiator’s Leggings
- Bramble Looped Boots (M)
Looking at this one again it doesn’t really match. the top half does, but not to the bottom. Back to the Mogit board.
I dare to name this purple themed and then include 1 (one) purple mog. hmm. Let’s fix this.
A variation on a standard theme. (ha)
- Mantle of the Seawolf
- Patient Ambusher’s Hauberk (M)
- Nightmarish Chain Shackles (N)
- Hulking Belt
- Merciless Gladiator’s Chain Leggings
- Roughshod Chain Boots (M)
I don’t think i’ve posted this one? i looked in my media and didn’t it. purple! silver! lightning flashes. it good. and then i made an another version that just uses the left shoulder of Erupting Mantle, because i have a thing for small and subtle shoulder armor.
I would kill for the Sprite Darter Shoulders sans the wing. the shape is so nice. and shiny.
2 purple sets, 2 not purple sets. balances out!
My druid is beautiful
but like, i’ve been beyond lazy with alts so far in Shadowlands. mostly because there is always a key or raid or mog to farm on my hunter. Makes it hard for me to devote the time my druid deserves to her. Did i mention the mog i could be farming? 8/10 on rank 5 Path of Ascension Rhuan! 2 more fights till the fight that will reward me wings and that is obviously what matters.
But i derailed, this post is about my druid!
When pre-patch first hit i went through a lot of my toons and changed up their looks. so many excellent possibilities. My druid i decided to go warm colors, a warm kinda red skin and the new orange hair. it was cool and all but i have changed it. because hot damn. Dark hair, darker skin? amazing.
This is old Ilona, she cute and all and then new Ilona was neat.
But this is obviously the superior Ilona.
The dark hair and darker skin and the bright bright eyes. its v good.
every couple years i say ill learn how to take an interesting screenshot and i mean it, but it didnt happen magically this time either. but she so pretty! and i love both of these sets so much. Not new at all but hey. pretty is forever.
The Argent Crusade aren’t the bad guys
but i made a set with the tabard and my brain went immediately to the bad joke that my hunter just wants to look like a zealot sometimes. which. thanks brain. good thought that. the in-game horrible zealots is the Scarlet Crusade anyhow!
This is also 100% about getting to use one of the cowl helmets again. And yet another mog where i wear the Greenhorn’s Footguards because i can. Boots don’t have to be matchy! they can just be brown leather looking boots with the gold right?
- Forgotten Pursuer’s Cowl
- Encarmine Pauldrons
- Warpwind Vest
- Argent Crusader’s Tabard
for you when you too wish to run around a round room - Dunegorger’s Grips
- Mistshroud Belt
- Flesh Architect’s Leggings
- Greenhorn’s Footguards
With bonus Thori’dal, the Stars’ Fury. for reasons. which are that i love it. and its super super gaudy when you cast Rapid Fire with it. Admittedly the pants have that weird like, booty shorts line. but thats because without a tabard they are a skort. which. no thank you. it would have to be longer to be fun, like the raid set. the super short one is just eh.
And then i got on a cowl kick, as one does. This set has too many colors. by like, a lot.
Red! gold! black!.. brown? But it mostly ties together in some way. the most offset color is honestly the glove part of the gloves being brown, but i didn’t want the bright red metal on the mythic and the heroic gold is too quiet. slightly weird gloves will work.
- Forgotten Pursuer’s Cowl
- Primal Gladiator’s Pauldrons
- Corroded Val’kyr Chainmail (M)
- Gauntlets of the Chosen Dead (N)
- Girdle of the Chose Dead (N)
- Bow-Stitched Leggings
- Necrophotic Greaves
4 years or more since i’ve done individual item links and i’m still always debating whether they are nice to have or not.
Fur on the boots with the red to go with fur on the chest armor. i’m strategic yo.
and a bonus my druid looks hot.
Not a new set, just admiring the dark hair and darker skin. i love her. One of those sets where im happy that blizzart has a habit of repeating colors throughout expacs. The pants and gloves have something like 8 years between their creation and yet, the colors are perfect. Thank you multiple difficulty raids.
Unicornsssss
Unicorns, unicorns, unicorns! call me King Haggrad. Mine, all mine. I’m just not driving them into the sea.
I very much have been pushing my Path of Ascension in the Kyrian Covenant (1 weeks to go for rank 5!). Very much because of mog and mounts. This beautiful unicorn is the Dauntless Duskrunner. Yes yes, another purple unicorn, but this one didn’t involve a maze. i just had to beat things up. carefully.
And for bonus points my mog matches! with the only belltop boots in game i like. I really like the purple Sprite Darter mog pants a silly amount. It’s just a nice purple and i like the seams on them.
- Harmonious Wings of the Ascended
- Patient Ambusher’s Hauberk (M)
- Nightmarish Chain Shackles (N)
- Slick Tactical Grips (M)
- Chain-Linked Safety Cord (M)
- Sprite Darter’s Trousers
- Fused Monstrosity Stompers (H)
- Truthseeker Longbow (it doesn’t match much, its just pretty)
my planned set for the Fae Revel Masque would match really well too. Purple wings!
The mask is so fluorescently purple. love it.
- Fae Revel Masque
- Discordant Wings of the Ascended
- Selis’ Silk Shirt
- Nightmarish Chain Shackles (N)
- Muckdweller Handguards
- Vintage Duskwatch Cinch (M)
- Sprite Darter’s Trousers
- Noble’s Fancy Boots
So, the boots only look like that for mail and probably cloth and leather? for plate toons they are actually boots not slippers, and not all black. its so weird and sad. Blizz why do this thing to me, my warrior wants slippers too.
i feel a need to show off all those fancy new unicorns of the Shadowlands, but to do that i need new mogs, if only to stay on theme. Which is mostly all that i’ve been doing when i can’t bring myself find more of that sweet sweet anima.
Gloomhoof! and another match-y mog. This one i actually remembered to screenshot when not on a pony.
Brand new and shiny! Purple gold and blue! The only piece i’m not really sure on is the shoulders, the brown fill is a little off. My pickiness is never ending; I want like, purple and gold.
- Dreamthorn Spaulders
- Halo of the Reverent
- Demonic Gladiator’s Chain Armor

- Composite Bow
i am very excited for the curved halos and sigils for Kyrian. I think the curve looked more dynamic in the previews, all sorts of pretty. hopefully night fae wings get shaped too, for my druid.
Okay, so saying this one matches is more technically true than like, the real driving motivation for its creation. that is owed to the fact that i really do just god damn love the Greenhorn’s Footguards. some of the most worth it pvp i’ve ever done. they only dropped in the 15-39 bracket battleground reward cache, when that bracket existed. i am very unsure where the ‘rookie’ sets drop now, level wise. I should do research on that. My druid still needs some pieces of it, they are recolors/completions of cata questing sets.
Sundancer! this mount is obtainable once you reach rank 3 of Path of Ascension and can craft Skystrider Glider. Okay, an aside, using the glider with the buff you need to catch Sundancer is amazing. An Ascended gives you a piggyback ride instead of it giving you wings like it does anywhere else you use it.
Greenhorn’s Footguards are my truest mog love. I might also have a thing for the new crafted shoulders.
- Desolate Scale Pauldrons
- Brvet’s Hauberk of Command
- Argent Crusader’s Tabard
- Desolate Scale Armguards
- Flesh Architect’s Belt
- Selfless Forgelite’s Breeches
- Greenhorn’s Footguards
- Selfless Forgelite’s Bow
I have a thing for the Argent Crusade Tabard honestly. It’s also the one i always wear and mog with. I need one on because i definitely don’t have the bag space to store one for when the impulse hits to mog with a tabard, it might as well be my tabard that doubles as a teleport!
And now, to keep ignoring my poor beautiful druid. she looks so good. next time!
So. Boots.
The thing with boots is i hate.. so many of them. So many. It is me being very picky, i’ll own up to that. But mog is life so. Whine and dislike i will!
Listen, i hate them. the one pair has bonus skulls to make it even worse, but its the shape of the boots. Rhuan has lovely legs, why cover my calves with such big, bulky goop. And this wouldn’t matter, cause i wouldn’t need these tall boots if blizz didn’t also make short pants. It’s a very rude combination.
The belltops also clip each other! dammit.
Like, its so bright! and vibrant and ridiculous in fun ways with the jaw bone and the teeth on my pants, but i can’t handle the belltops. Maybe they wouldn’t bother me so much if the top of the bell wasn’t right on the kneecap.
- Soul-Rattle Cage (LFR)
- Arakkoa Outcats Tabard
- Epoch Sentinel’s Gloves
- Flesh Architect’s Belt
- Flesh-Raking Leggings (LFR)
- Shadowscale Treads
I just truly wish i like that boot model. the colors are all so good!
instead, i wore
- Ironfeather Longbow
- Stem-Laced Boots
- with bonus random dwarf paladin in the background
Calves out is goofy, okay, so goofy. I mean, the colors work, and i honestly love those little boots. i just wish i wasn’t wearing cutoffs. And a bonus other set i was poking at and can’t pick boots for. though this one is just because of color and me being picky. along with the damn calfwarmers.
Creepy angel sentinel! or something. except i want silver boots and they don’t really exist. other than these and some of a very wrong sort of silver. Wowhead Link
- Forgehand’s Headgear
- Black Brood Pauldrons
- Harmonious Wings of the Ascended
- Stylish Black Shirt
- Kirin Tor Offensive Tabard
- Humble Aspirant’s Wristwraps
- Chain-Linked Safety Cord (M)
- Bloodmail Legguards
- Glider’s Sabatons
As i was looking again and typing up this whining, i found other boots. with purple and silver. that i like. oops.
- Pristine Moon-Wrought Chain
- Abyssal Mail Greaves
- Nethersteel Gauntlets (matches boots, not pictured)
It would look more like a weird angel being with no skin visible. I just habitually hide gloves now that i can. Wowhead link And i like that bracers follow the shape of the shirt instead of flattening the sleeves to the arm.
She is watching you! Of course, it turns out i don’t have the belt, which is tragic. I am tempted to go run all the Tomb of Sargeras’ LFRs and murder the trash. Honestly though, this is mostly a set i wouldn’t wear for more than an hour. the idea of it is fun, but the helmet is very…helmet (and its not quite the same silver, its blued). It’s one that makes me want to use a cape, but the wings are the cape. Conundrum.
I could post so many boots i dislike and so many sets that need tall boots. But i shall keep my whining to 2 sets.
Cowls! They make me happy.
I am in love with the new zone leveling sets for mail armor. Or at least the helms. The pants with their little skorts annoy me, but that’s nitpicky of me. I like the butts okay, no shame here. mostly.
I am shocked at myself. i really do love half face helms and yet ive only saved onetwo set so far.
Repping that wild hunt. Not that my hunter is Night Fae but still, its an excellent tabard.
- Dreamthorn Headgear
- Gormhusk Mantle
- Dreamthorn Chainmail
- Tabard of the Wild Hunt
- Warmongering Combatant’s Chain Gauntlets
- Mistshroud Belt
- Bloodmail Legguards
- Insulated Finpads
- Composite Bow
With a bonus Willowbreeze. Cause she cute.
Now to rep that Venthyr. Cause it pretty.
- Forgotten Pursuer’s Cowl
- Flesh Architect’s Epaulets
- Flesh Architect’s Chainmail
- Court of the Harvesters Tabard
- Mistshroud Gauntlets
- Flesh Architect’s Belt
- Mistshroud Pants
- Eternal Traveler’s Treads
Okay okay its ‘boring’ because all i did was essentially mash 2 sets together. but i love mistshroud and want any excuse to use pieces. And i adore the fabric belts with metal buckles. like a lot a lot.
eventually ill play other characters enough to get more hats and cowls and good things. but for now. just more love on my hunter.
Shadowlands is here!
and i got wings bitches.
I went Kyrian on my hunter because Resonating Arrow is fun, and well, wings! Eventually i will have more colors unlocked, but very shiny gold wings are shiny and excellent.
The first set i made with the wings was fallen angel like, if only because i had been running around in a Kyrian set beforehand. And it is very bright.
- Selfless Forgelite’s Spaulders
- Kaldorei Archer’s Hauberk (non elite)
- Tabard of the Ascended
- Desolate Scale Armguards
- Allen’s Abandoned Belt
- Selfless Forgelite’s Breeches
- Bramble Looped Boots (H)
It’s almost too bright but the gold! And if one wants to mog snob and not use multiple pieces of one set Desolate Scale Pauldrons work well, but then you want to swap bracers as well. To say to Primal Aspirant’s Armbands of Prowess.
Blue bracer band to match the blue belt bands to match the blue gem! with my purple necklace just looking pretty.
Now to the actual wings, because i never get derailed ever.
Looking at it again i don’t like the boots, but that’s for another day to fix. Boots are the bane of any of my mogs.
- Selfless Wings of the Ascended
- Sul’lithuz Sandmail
- Flint-Linked Wristguards (H)
- Flesh Architect’s Belt
- Fel-Chain Leggings
- Souldrifting Sabatons (N)
I… need to remake this one. i like my idea but i don’t think i like it now. Something something it is too busy.
Ulduar? Uldon’t
Listen, listen, i hate how Ulduar was smashed into one raid difficulty because of timewalking. Hate it. Because it makes targeted mog farming basically impossible and each boss has like, 30 possible drops. Its tragic.
Firelands wasn’t! so why was Ulduar? grump grumble grump.
Today though! there is some good news, i finally got one piece i have been farming. Runeshaper’s Gloves finally deigned to exist. It only took a decade (which fine, i’ve probably looted them before but that was before the wardorbe and i had to store everything. you had to be picky dammit).
I love Shoulders of Lightning Reflexes and try to work them into sets pretty often. despite the fact that there is.. basically nothing in that color scheme.
This effort is fun but i realized the pants are too maroon, the red doesnt work with the brown.
i like it, but in game the red is too red and the silver is too shiny for the rest of it sadly.
Effort the second i think works better.
much more balanced! and the red on the pants flows right into the boots while the brown scales stand out without not matching.
- Shoulders of Lightning Reflexes
- Frigidlink Armor
- Runeshaper’s Gloves
- Waistguard of Hatred (H)
- Battlebound Leggings
- Greaves of the Earthbinder
looking at it, the brown might be bit more stand out than i thought but i think it works. And its not like im not gonna change my mog tonight or tomorrow anyhow.
Chains on the pants, chains on the gloves! totally ties it all together. Winning. With bonus anniversary glasses.
i think that is all i have to share at the moment. i am poking at making a set with pants from Ahn’Qirij. They are certainly an interesting color combination.
